Hi, everyone, my name is Michael Uphoff, and I am your reviewer for tonight\'s Friday Night Smackdown! I have to tell you, it\'s been my pleasure recapping Smackdown for the last few months, but this will be my last review. It\'s been an honor to do this, and I wouldn\'t trade it for the world (even with all the comments from Chungles!). I\'ll be on the 411 Wrestling Top 5 almost every week, so look for me there. That being said, let\'s get to it! SMACKDOWN!

FINAL THOUGHTS: This was another show that seemed bipolar, with big ups and downs. The two opening matches were good, but two matches followed that were awful. The main event saved the show. The good thing is that we have Taker/Punk/Show/Swagger at Fatal Fourway, and that is an interesting and intriguing matchup. Thumbs in the middle, leaning up.
