SAN ANTONIO – Friday’s SmackDown was a special night for our fans. They got to see Batista exact some measure of revenge against World Heavyweight Champion Edge, great interpromotional match-ups between Raw and SmackDown, and all-around sports-entertainment action at its finest. And we can all thank one person for making it happen: the evening’s acting SmackDown General Manager, Vickie Guerrero.
Don’t take WWE.com’s word for it; throughout Friday night, SmackDown announcers Michael Cole and John Bradshaw Layfield praised the way Vickie stepped in for General Manager Theodore Long — who was busy planning his upcoming wedding to WWE Diva Kristal — and took the reins of a job that can be very demanding, and sometimes thankless.
“Vickie put together a heck of a show,” JBL told both Cole and our fans. “When you can actually improve SmackDown, as good as we are, that is impressive.”
For those who judge by deeds, not words, consider what Vickie accomplished in her first-ever performance as SmackDown’s acting General Manager. First, she was responsible for inviting Superstars from Raw to compete against members of SmackDown’s elite. That enabled our fans to delight in watching Ric Flair slap the Figure Four Leglock on former protégé Carlito, while Matt Hardy delivered some singles competition payback against co-World Tag Team Champion Lance Cade. When Deuce & Domino stole a victory over Cryme Tyme, Raw’s “robbin’ hoods” responded with some grand theft auto on the WWE Tag Team Champions’ ’50s convertible. And a debate over who the wilder Diva was resulted in a wild match between new SmackDown draftee Victoria and Mickie James, who picked up the win for her brand[more]
