WWE Smackdown 10.10.14 - 15 years and still going

 This weeks SD!:

Stephanie McMahon, the first General Manager of Smackdown, is introduced to the stage. She comes out waving to the crowd. They boo her as she goes down to the ring. Michael Cole talks about being an announcer in 1999 for the show while JBL was still wrestling and Tom Philips was only ten years old. McMahon welcomes the crowd to the fifteenth anniversary of Smackdown. She asks if anyone remembers the superstar who coined the phrase "Smackdown." It was the People's Champion, the man who lost to her husband, Triple H, on the very first episode of Smackdown, The Rock. She is so proud because as the first General Manager of Smackdown, she gets to share many moments with the people tonight.

John Laurinaitis' music hits, and the creator of People Power makes his way to the ring smiling and waving to the crowd. Laurinaitis asks if somebody said, "People." The crowd chants, "People Power." Laurinaitis reintroduces himself to the crowd before saying he created the greatest movement ever in WWE history, "People Power." Laurinaitis says he's been doing a lot of research on the WWE Network. McMahon says he is living proof that anybody can use the WWE Network. Laurinaitis says he's learned a lot and has a lot of matches to make.

Teddy Long's music hits, and the longest running General Manager in Smackdown history makes his way to the ring. JBL gets up and does a few two-steps before enthusiastically shaking hands with Long. Long gets in the ring, and the crowd chants, "Teddy." Long says he was the General Manager of Smackdown for six years, and he'll be damned if he's going to watch Laurinaitis take it away again. Laurinaitis says there is a reason he replaced Long: he was better then, and he still is today.

Long says, "The proof is in the playa." Laurinaitis says he'll give the WWE Universe exactly what they want: a tag team match. It'll be Miz and Cesaro versus Sheamus and Jack Swagger. Long asks if that's all he's got because he'd make it a six-man tag match. Long adds Mark Henry and Bo Dallas. Laurinaitis makes it a ten-man tag adding Gold and Stardust and The Usos. Long says this is the fifteenth year anniversary of Smackdown, he'll propose something that has never been done before: a fifteen-man tag team match! Laurinaitis says that's not possible, but Long says he's the Mac Militant. Long adds Mini Gator and Slater Gator as well as Los Matadores, El Torito, and Tito Santana!
