Smackdown! was definitely a step in the right direction... not counting the suck factor of Billy Gunn on the show, the wrestling matches were entertaining, and they even had story elements that weren't dumb: the storyline with Billy Kidman concerned about injuring more opponents than Chavo comes to mind.

I also liked the nod to continuity having Torrie Wilson concerned about the returning Big Show.

Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero had a tremendous match, and the cheap victory leaves the door open for future matches. I'm a bit disappointed at how Eddie is getting pushed down the card though: the former WWE champion starting a feud with mid-carder Luther Reigns? Bad form, WWE.
