Welcome to a special edition of the News & Views. This edition of the News & Views will be different from the norm. The only thing contained here will be my preview for No Mercy. From now on, I'll post my previews here at Rajah.com every month on the Friday before the event.
As you might be aware, the News & Views have been AWOL for two weeks now. The reason for that was beyond my control as my personal life was absolutely insane during that time. It won't happen again. I'll still put out the News & Views on Wednesday or Thursday no matter what's going on in my life. I've committed to it and I will hold on to that commitment. Also regarding N&V, I received over 70 submissions for the reader essay, which is another reason why I haven't been able to put out a full edition. If you'll recall, the question was about HHH's opponent at Taboo Tuesday. Next week when N&V returns, I'll run the best ten responses in the column, so if you're waiting to see if you made it for that, just hang in there because it'll be coming a week from now.
Now that we've got the pleasantries out of the way, let's get to the show.
It's not Wednesday, but I had to share the banner!

There was Summerslam, but that only had four Smackdown matches and they were pretty easy to put together. Remember the four month thing now and realize they
