Tonight Velocity will feature Tough Enough 2 trainer Ivory taking on Tough Enough 2 winner Linda Miles. Turn in right now at 10 p.m. ET on TNN to check out this and other great matches featuring SmackDown! Superstars with Michael Cole and Al Snow calling all the action from ringside.

This was a good Velocity.I hope they wouldn't show the smackdown main event/battle royal recap,i hated that match. The cruiser weight match between Funaki and Chavo was great. i love a good Cruiser weight match,and of course the main event was nice.Im gad they didnt wait to put Linda int he ring.

There really is nothing quite like Saturday night wrestling (with pretzels). :)
Randy Orton is the quite the talented young athlete and it's always cool to see him in the ring (even if he is losing to Test)
I always thought Godfather would work as the kind of "gangsta" character he was in the Nation, but I have to agree with Cole. Why the heck did he have that bandanna on? He looked ridiculous. :rolleyes:
The new Desire video (featuring "Weathered" by Creed) was very excellent. It you somehow missed it, be sure you look for it this week on WWE Television—you won't be disappointed.
I personally think it's an insult to the wrestlers competing if their contest is billed as a "Cruiserweight Match" I just think it sound unnecessary and is a discredit to the athletes involved.
:eek: Holy smokes, I almost forgot Funaki existed!
I'm sure there’s at least one WWE fan asking themselves "Why does Linda have a last name?" :confused:
Well, at least one WWE fan, The Penguin has an answer for you—well two really. I prefer because Linda just isn't as cool of a name as Maven and Nidia are, but the other possibility is because of WWE CEO Linda McMahon. ;)
Jackie sure did a good job pretending that she didn’t like Linda... Oh wait.
There still seems to be too much recap stuff, but we did finally get four matches.

I saw most of the show- I thought it was okay.
I really think they need to cut down the recap to a recap rather than a replay. I mean they literally show you some of the same stuff over again, exaclty. It's irritating if you saw it the first time. Don't they have other "re-cap" shows, like WWE After Burn, or whatever?
The matches that I saw were all decent though. Ivory is still my favorite WWE diva to watch in the ring- she always works good matches. I thought she and Linda put on a good match. It was obvious, however, that it was a mistake to make Linda face and Jackie heel, as the response at the live event was that after Al Snow raised Linda's fans the crowd booed. Hey, we all watched Tough Enough, we're not going to suddenly turn around and pretend to like Linda because you told us to!
I think it's surprising that they are giving Linda last name and not giving Jackie one. I mean, Linda McMahon hasn't been on WWE TV in like a year, where as Jacqueline (also known as Jackie) is on TV all the time, and is in the women's division. Who knows, maybe she will be given a name after all.
Hey, do you guys think that Linda and Jackie will now be appearing on WWE TV regularly? I find it weird that they are starting an angle with them, considering that TE 2 just ended... I mean, Nidia won TE 1 about a year ago, and she only made her debut a few nights before them- on the same night if you do it by live event rather than TV appearence. It's strange... Doesn't bother me though, I like Linda and Jackie both more than Nidia.
Penguin, I LOVED the new WWE Desire video too. Very cool to see the WWE Superstars warming up and passing the time backstage. Very cool.
