The new Smackdown! feuds being putting into motion are...Eddie Guerrero versus Big Show, John Cena versus Rene Dupree (U.S. versus France), Booker T versus Undertaker ( 'Taker teaching Booker some respect for Smackdown!).

Apparently, last night's Smackdown! show was panned by the live crowd who booed at the conclusion. A local station who helped promote the event actually apologized on-air for the show after they were besieged by angry phone calls. Yikes!

The WWE announced today that it expects world-wide Pay-Per-View gross revenues for WrestleMania XX to be between $40 million and $45 million, making it the highest grossing Pay-Per-View event in WWE history. WWE’s net share is expected to exceed $20 million after revenue-sharing with cable and satellite providers. WWE said its first-week estimate of Pay-Per-View buys is 825,000.

that's what u get for pushing guys like Bradshaw AND when u promise the fans something and don't deliver : triple H on SD!

also why the hell is Booker T in the title picture? he has been a midcarder for like a year now , SD really is the minor league show

The only things good about Smackdown! right now are: John Cena (when is his title shot coming), Eddie, The Undertaker, and RVD (especially if Paul Heyman comes back to manage a heel RVD)
