No Mercy Preview

World Heavyweight Championship
King Booker (c) vs Finlay vs Bobby Lashley vs Big Dave Batista
The original plan was supposed to be Big Dave vs Booker for the title but given that Big Dave has been terrible since his return it was switched to Lashely/Booker and Batista was thrown with Finlay to help him regain his step. Now it has been decided Lashley isn't a draw so the two matches have been added together.

King Booker's reign on Smackdown has been the best thing going in recent weeks so I hope it doesn't come to an end. Changing the title in a fatal four way is ridiculous in my opinion. You make money by building big feuds not throwing four guys in a ring. The match could be pretty decent as Finlay and Booker are both great, Lashley is looking better month on month and although Big Dave looks horrible he may have to step us his game. I'm expecting a King Booker victory.

Ken Kennedy vs The Undertaker
A terrible fued that makes no sense whatsoever. Taker wins.

Note: At this point I'm having to look at wwe.com to find out the rest of the card.

Who Loves Eddie More - Falls Count Anywhere
Chavo Geurrero vs Rey Mysterio
Another bad feud although as always the match will be decent. This is Rey's last match for a while as he heads off for knee surgery so I'm picking Chavo by default.

WWE Tag Team Championship
Paul London & Brian Kendrick vs KC James & Idol Stevens
Another one of those nobody really cares about this match but should be OK given London and Kendrick are involved. If the geeks in masks don't win the tag titles are dead.

MVP vs ????
MVP debuts in the ring. I'll give WWE their due here, they've built up a special attraction in this guy. There's no news as of yet about his opponent but I'd expect Sylvan or Tatanka to be top of the list.

Matt Hardy vs Gregory Helms
I've liked what they've done with these two, the only problem is nobody cares. It makes sense for the babyface to go over but as the babyface is Matt Hardy and Matt Hardy will not die putting over Helms is the better option.

On paper this looks like a shitty PPV but I'm sure as with all Smackdown PPVs it will be pretty good.
