THE SMACKDOWN REPORT FROM CANADA

Okay, life here is back to normal. My apologies for my meager reporting last week and the no-port the week before. Im really bummed about not getting ECW up here yet, but after hearing about Tuesday's show, maybe its a blessing. Okay, on to the show.

Miz introduces Smackdown from the audience and announces Booker vs. Lashley and Rey Mysterio vs. Gregory Helms.

JBLs music hits and he makes his usual entrance via limo. Cole calls the entrance and appears to be working alone. JBL is in his suit and has a mic in hand. He claims to be Mr. Ratings and just as hes about to take a seat, Rey Mysterios music hits. JBL slaps on a headset and gets to work. He proceeds to rip on Rey. Im very curious to hear how JBL does. JBL takes off his headset and is about to enter the ring but Cole advises against it saying if he does anything stupid hell lose this job too.
