  Smackdown  
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One would think that X-pac getting his ass kicked by Taker a few times prior to last night's Smackdown would have taught him something. I guess not. It seems he has more balls then brains. At least when Road Dogg is around he does. Spitting on Taker's bike. Smart move. Hey, X-pac see that crocodile over there. Why don't you stick your head in his mouth next. He won't bite, I promise. Seeing UT hit the Last Ride for the win was a refreshing change of pace from the past ten days. Could it mean a dreaded job to Lame at Summerscrew... I mean Summerslam? I hope not. Usually it goes the person who has the advantage going into the PPV loses. Not always though. Taker could still walk away Sunday a winner. Since X-pac is not involved as far we know in the UT/Kane feud. One of the rumors floating about is that UT V Kane will be over soon. Possibly as soon as Summerslam. So if taker wins, it is because the WWF is proceeding in moving Taker and Lame on. It makes no sense to have ther feud end with UT not being able to get some measure of revenge. After all, it is Kane we are talking about. Not like HBK. Maybe then the American Bad Ass can be put into the title picture. It is getting boring seeing Rock and HHH anywhere near the championship. And as far as I am conerned Angle is not ready to be the WWF champ. 

Do I smell a marketing ploy here? The American Bad Ass shirt has showed some fair sales numbers since it's debut. Sometimes, when the WWF wants to draw attention to a piece of merchandise, they will have the superstar it is associated with wear it. Rock, Austin, and now Taker. 

Will the next double installment of the Last Ride be a cyber powerbomb, or a Bad Ass salute to another Undertaker victory? There is only one way to find out. Come back here.
