Did Smackdown! ever take a large step down this week, in my opinion.

First, they had Albert start the show. The man who's stunk up Velocity for months now gets to stink up SD too.

Then, we get Crash get the win over Jamie Knoble. This is just my personal opinion, but I find his shtick almost as stale as Jeff Hardy.

The show would have been saved by the last match, nearly 30 minutes of great stuff from four guys who steal the show (Benoit, Angle, Edge and Guerrero), but then they have to spoil it with a stupid lesbian angle for Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie. This had nothing to do with wrestling, makes both characters murkier, and is the kind of crap that's hurt RAW for months now. What were the bookers thinking?
