I enjoyed the “Beat the Clock” concept Smackdown used last year, and it looks like it’s making its return tonight. Here’s a non-spoiler preview of tonight’s show courtesy of PW Insder:

“Beat The Clock” matches, where the winner of the match with the fastest time gets a WWE Title match at Armageddon:
- Jeff Hardy vs. Brian Kendrick.
- Matt Hardy vs. Vladimir Kozlov.
- Triple H vs. Shelton Benjamin.

- Jesse & Festus vs. John Morrison & The Miz.

- Nikki Bella, Brie Bella & Michelle McCool vs. Maryse, Natalya & Victoria.

- Edge and Vickie Guerrero will appear on the show.

Based on Jim Ross’ description of this show, I’m pumped:

Speaking of Tuesday night, Friday Night Smackdown was in Albany, N.Y. taping the next two Friday nights of the broadcast. Both shows are wrestling heavy based on today’s TV wrestling world and this Friday night see significant wrestling action featuring multiple, competitive matches involving HHH, Jeff Hardy, and Vladimir Kozlov, among others. There has never been a perfect wrestling show produced at least that I have ever seen but this one is a good,solid program that features mostly in ring content and not backstage bits that often times do not play to the individual’s strengths.

I like the sound of “wrestling heavy based on today’s TV wrestling world…” I guess that means we’ll get some actual wrestling matches tonight, once again proving that Smackdown > Raw.
