Costume contest was stupid and Layla should have won it anyway.

Beth looked so impressive. This is the Glamazon I want to see, not the one being humiliated by Santino in drag.

the match was ok 4 a job fest, just felt a bit too one sided, but beth was awesome in the match

i liked michelle’s costume the best
mickie should have gone with the movie version of electra,

the one mickie wore looked silly on her, her lara croft outfit from last year was better

I thought Jenny Brooks sold well and had interesting facial features. Id like to see her get signed to a developmental deal.

That was the point of this match. Beth has been ruined on RAW past year, so the writers on Smackdown are trying to rebuild her credibility as toughest chick on the block. It is not uncommon to see something like that. I grew up watching wrestling before the attitude-era, and basicly every match during FREE tv hours were like this. Sometimes when you were lucky you had jobbers like Barry Horowitch or Iron Mike Sharpe, who were allowed to get a few shots in because they were heels. But the face jobbers were usually always completely squashed. It wasn’t until the ratings-war that squashes became rare.

Try that again…….LOL

Shad helps Mickie out of the ring to a huge pop. Cryme Tyme and Mickie James pose at the entrance to another pop.

This was reported on some Spoilers, must have been edited out on tv.

Mickie must have been selling Michelle’s attack.

When Beth picked her up by the neck I was like “whoa!” – kinda scary! :-) Great squash match – I was pretty upset when she got moved to SD but judging by this past week (and the rumors of Michael Hayes liking her…) this could be a real good move. The best match for SS is Beth vs. Mickie vs. Michelle IMO. Agree with those on the boards…that costume contest was painful to watch. How unoriginal were the costumes?!? Nothing like Michael on “The Office” with his “D*ck in a Box” costume or Jim’s “Facebook”….classic!

I feel that its pretty sad that a girl they hire to job to Beth for one night did better than most women they hire to wrestle every night. They need to get their priorities straight.

Michelle’s attack on Mickey really did confuse me. I mean the kick and clothesline did look off, but say they hit their mark like they were supposed to, how strong could either be to keep Mickie down? And Ms Electra stumbling around all disoriented like that, it looked as though Michelle was going to go in for a kill and leave Mickie laying but nothing came. Really weirdly done.

I wanted Vladimir Kozlov or Ezekiel Jackson to come down and glam slam Jenny Brooks after the match ended.

Hated the match. Hated the costume contest. (other then Layla, who totally pwned)

That match was so stupid. We all know who the glamazon is and having her go against an opponent like that is just stupid. It’s insulting to beth to even insinuate that that other girl had a chance against her. And the other girl didn’t even get ONE shot on the glamazon the whole time.

Smackdown, you totally wasted my time this week. (other than Layla, who totally pwned)

The Beth squash was fun to watch. I don’t think Brooks got in a single offensive move.

What happened with Mickie and Michelle at the end? There looked to be some sort of edit, but even with it, it still looked awkward.

That squash match was great. Seems like WWE is really trying to get the fans behind Beth, maybe semi face turn? I hope so because she’d be an awesome tweener.

As for the halloween contest…lame. I think Layla should have won and I could definitely see them making her face as well. I mean seriously, you don’t let a heel be michael jackson because that’s sure to incite a positive response, hell even mickie clapped for her. And she got clotheslined by nattie after all. But who knows.

I’m sorry but I can’t stop laughing at how bored and uninterested Natalya looks, I don’t blame her to be honest.

Mickies costume is the fugliest thing I’ve seen in a while, really, my PacMan outfit will look so more flattering than that.

Michelle looked bland, sexy, but bland, and the dancing, OMG McCools dancing is like Barbara Bush rockin’ to Single Ladies, it’s just mind-hurting, at least she showed heel-like personality which is always nice.

Layla looked like a comedic act the whole time, which was good, the costume was a bit odd but the way she danced and acted through the whole segment was nice. The attack by the end didn’t impress me, just gonna say that.

Beth defeating Jenny Brooks was a nice squash match, I missed the strong and powerful Beth Phoenix, the whole package of women wrestling.

Beth is looking hott on smackdown! Looking forward to seeing the Glamazon as champ again ;)

Loved seeing Beth in a squash match because a woman of her strength and caliber should definitely be portrayed by WWE as just that.
The costumer contest made me cringe so much in parts – I actually felt embarrased for Michelle McCool, women who are so tall and lean like her don’t suit trying to dance in that way because it just doesn’t look right, it looks awkward and gangly.
Layla blew me away, I loved all the MJ moves and the look, that was original and entertaining!

ScottL — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:05:44 +0000

That’s how you do a squash! Beth looked great, played to her personality, landed her power moves with gusto. Never saw the designated victim before, but she sold very well. Nice job.
As for the costume thing, meh. Only thing that stood out is that Layla is sexy doing anything, and people still don’t give a crap about Michelle. They pop for Natalya accidently clothes lining Layla, and the standard Mickie “Lou Thesz Press” spot, and gave McCool no reaction after the half-assed kick in the head and slow retreat frm the ring, which has been patented by Randy Orton. That was supposed to be the heat spot, folks.
To be fair, though, didn’t like Mickie’s selling of the kick. MJ, you are supposed to be hurt, not stumbling around like a drunk at a frat party.

“Beth’s opponent was not Lexxus it was an indy wrestler named She Nay Nay.”

I’m not convinced it’s She Nay Nay. She does kinda look like her though, and it would make sense, She Nay Nay worked with Beth/Katie/Nattie in OVW. But i just watched some recent pictures from her at the NCW Femmes Fatales taping and dont think its her, although i’m not 100% certain.

Mickie didn’t really sell the kick all that well.

But that could also be because Michelle didn’t get a good aim at her. =/

Beth was Brilliant, I really enjoyed this Squash match.. usually there rather boring but Beth showed alot of character with her power. Michael Hayes as rumored is a Big fan of Beth and hes apart of the Creative Team on SD.. with him on her side she has a Bright Future on SD and rightfully so.

Costume contest… No comment, i think the contest it’s self ses it all.

This is why Mickie James and Michelle McCool should stick solely to wrestling and not any fluffy stuff that’s better tailored to Divas with lesser ability. James, who I love, looked ridiculous here. And Michelle McCool looked stupid.

As per usual, Layla should have won.

Smackdown’s Annual Divas Halloween Costume Contest, The year end feel good crap-tastic event! It’s so campy and horrible that’s it good in a sense, because it’s so outlandish, poorly planned and the costumes are dreadful, I will admit the playful interaction between Nattie and Shad was interesting given their teams respective history with each other, I’m curious to see what an on screen pairing of those two would be like.

Michelle—-just no!…no baby!…bad Michelle, stop it, just stop it okay?!, leave dancing to the pros, i’m only looking out for your safety by telling you this, I’m concerned you may break something.

Mickie looked more like a cheap saloon barmaid out of the old west than Elektra

and as Melony pointed out, Layla was dancing yet again, We get it WWE the woman can move, but would you kindly stop with all that now, allow Layla to showcase another aspect of her personality please!

Beth was Impressive…..What else is there to say about her….

The Dreadful halloween Costume Contest…Layla looked the best I dont know wtf Mickie,Michelle and Natalya was thinking….Michelle looked like she was going to a late nite party, Natalya looked like she was just lost , Mickie ugh my poor babes , Mickie Babe Red isnt you like Meliane said…

Michelle’s Kick was weak I had to think for a minute and say did Michelle kick Mickiealready b cuz I didnt see shit lol…it was so quick or IDK

By: DsShin

DsShin — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:09:10 +0000

Mickie totally missed that kick, she should have flied away just like Melina does. But she was too fine after McCool’s finisher. how lame was that

there was just too much red in general… sad, SmackDown has some of the finest athletes in the women’s division and this is what they did

That Beth match reminded me a lot of her matches in OVW just after she, Shelly & Idol disbanded, I think she had matches with Sosay & Trinity, and in them she got to show off so much character with little touches like the one in this match. Thats the sort of stuff I know Beth is capable of, but didn’t seem to do on Raw too much, whether she was told not to, didn’t want to or because there just wasn’t enough time to put it over in the 5 second tag matches…

I’m so glad Beth is on Smackdown, because it looks like she can finally show what she’s got, Smackdown is defiantly the place to be as a female wrestler, bar the rare (and terrible) costume contest!

MelonyAdams — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:15:13 +0000

I loved the match, but hated the entire costume contest. Mickie winning was not a suprise, she’s the only face out their. Which really shows they need new divas to debut. Nothing special about smackdown except for Beth vs Jenny Brooks, not even layla’s dancing caught my attention. I was like ” oh layla’s doing that same dance againg, BORED already”.

Layla was okay and at least Mickies pretty, otherwise she would have been completely crap, and I love Mickie :( .

Michelle looked as if she was trying too hard and Natalya as if she wasnt trying at all.

Crap contest.

LMFAO at Mickie!That “performance” was HILARIOUS!I mean seriously,WTF was that?!!And Michelle seems to have taken a page out of Maria’s book with the whole “Flailing arms like an idiot” thing.Like I said before,Layla would have won in reality,but this is kayfabe,and in kayfabe,Mickie trumps all. :(

I could not have agreed more with you!! Beth P. kicked butt while my girl Michelle didn’t quite cut it, sadly(LMAO at the white people dancing bit, BTW). I’ve always known Michelle couldn’t dance, though(Example: “No Mercy 2008″). I think she really tried too hard to look sexy with her outfit & bad dance routines. I know, Michelle’s an athlete not a pro dancer but still, I wasn’t buying it, at all. It all backfired for her, quite badly. :(

This whole segment was terrible & it was just as lame as they described it on Tuesday. :(

Layla I must say has some moves on her.
