Tonight's Smackdown! proved something other pundits have said before: having a hot crowd makes the shows seem even better.


Eddie Guerrero is still getting major face heat, even though he's now a heel. Either they had another bizarro crowd, or the lines between face and heel have blurred even more of late.


One thing that surprised me: I expected Billy Gunn would suck the heat out of the crowd. I guess their enthusiasm couldn't be so chilled.


With the addition of his match to Vengeance, we're looking at a 50-50 split between sports entertainment and actual wrestling. The APA's Barroom Brawl was already most likely a throwaway shmozz, but now the addition of Brother Love, Doink the Clown, the Brooklyn Brawler and the frikkin Easter Bunny make it even more forgettable sports entertainment.


They have so much talent on the SD roster, and so much will be wasted here... it's damn sad.
