IMO, WWE seriously dropped the ball with this feud. This feud could have been used to get over both men better and to make sure they would head up the card. Instead, the WWE just has them wrestle twice (they should have held off on a second matchup) and then the feud is over. I don't think it would be relevant to have the feud picked up sometime in the future unless it's over a championship belt. Comparing what both men are doing currently on SD, they would have been better off carrying their feud into Judgment Day. Leave it to the SD writing crew to drop the ball on a feud which would have been so simple to book and would have done wonders for not only both men but the show as a whole. Instead, Booker is nearing character suicide (this supernatural crap and his inevitable burial by Taker) and RVD is stuck in a feud with the stale Dudley's. What do you guys think about this situation? Has the WWE dug itself into a whole with the pisspoor booking of this feud?

Your right. It made perfect sense to book RVD and Booker T for at least two PPV feuds. Both men are two of te best on the Smackdown roster and could have not only put on great matches but also give SD! those ratings that it has been loosing.

Van Dam is being booked to put the Dudleys over. I just know that D-Von and Bubba are gonna destroy him. They need to in order to have a credible monster heel turn. While I think they are fixing the damage done to the Dudleys, the Smackdown Creative Team are killing Van Dam. BUT RVD has resigned his contract.

Booker T is getting set to be SQUASHED. The WWE are trying their damndest to get an already over Taker more over. So they are throwing Booker T at him. Have the WWE forgotten that Booker T could carry the Smackdown roster if needed. I wouldnt be so heart broken if they dropped RVD/Booker for Eddie/Booker. Now that would have been a better move.

The WWE have missed a golden oppertunity. Van Dam and Booker T really need to get over after some bad handling over the last few months. The feuds they are booked in will do nothing to get either man over. This is a pity because take RVD and Booker T out of the WWE title picture and all you have left is JBLanger and Undertaker.
