I didn't really watch today's Velocity much. Squash matches, Mordecai, and the Grumpy Old Men (Billy Gunn / Hardcore Holly) just didn't get my interest.


With a few days to think about Smackdown! for this week, I have a few (bad) thoughts:


- Kenzo Suzuki: first off, when did Scotty 2 Hotty become the Jobber to the Stars? That now makes two matches he's been used as the squashee, first for Mordecai, now this.


Unfortunately, this debut was not more impressive. I hope Suzuki shows more in the next few weeks; here he was just an Asian guy who punched and kicked.


- Eddie Guerrero is an addict. I don't think it was right to have him in a car craze. It was actually pretty tasteless.


- The Undertaker as part of a heel stable. Not that I find him terribly interesting in the ring, but the roster of top-card faces is rather thin now: Eddie, John Cena and Rey Mysterio. Rob Van Dam is very popular, but so far except for his US Title shot at The Great American Bash isn't really being used much. I'm not counting guys like Spike Dudley, Billy Kidman or Paul London either, as they're all not being used for much more than Velocity fare.


Overall when a show brings more negatives to mind than positives, it's a bad sign.
