Smackdown was ok. I am glad they are putting more emphasis on the WRESTLING, but the show was just ok.
The Good: Opening promos with Edge and Cena. Loved seeing Edge a bit displeased with his wife's decision to not have him compete. Still baffled why the Big Show and Edge are best buddies again where a couple of weeks ago, they were at each other's throats, but ok. Consistency is not WWE's strong suit. LOL
Cena losing. Didn't lose clean as Edge interfered, but good to see him lose. What I hated a couple of years ago, Cena was booked as Superman and overcame EVERYTHING.. Here, he is showing some vulnerability. Good to see Edge standing over him talking trash.
Tag title switch. Getting tired of Miz and Morrison holding the belts. I don't mind Morrison. Hate Miz. Just annoys me and I don't mean in the "good heel heat" manner. Glad they do not have the belts.
The Bad: Letting Big Show go 20 minutes!! I admit Show has improved, but that guy should just go 10 minutes and that is it. Match became predictable and repetitive as far as workrate/moveset.
Volkov beating Taker. Let me repeat. Volkov beat the Undertaker. I know that they have to make this guy strong, but man......I just don't like it. I know Volkov is being teased as being involved in the Taker/HBK match at Mania (Please. NO) but I just had a hard time stomaching this.
In between: Benjamin/Guerrero match. It was ok. Wonder what they will do with MVP.
The overall show was just ok.
Dear missedgehead:
Eddie-BoyThanks for the recap from last night's episode of "SmackDown", even though the thought of Vladimir Kozlov defeating The Undertaker was as shocking as anything I've seen and heard in recent memory.
Whether the undefeated "Moscow Mauler" will be thrown in the 'Taker-HBK match at WrestleMania 25, however, remains to be seen at the moment. Let's see how Kozlov will fare against Shawn Michaels this Monday night on "Raw", and we'll figure out the answers by then.
Morrison rocks... Miz sucks... Morrison rocks... Miz sucks... Morrison rocks... Miz sucks...
Do you think Edge can fully trust The Big Show? They may appear to be best buds now, but I have to wonder if the "World's Largest Athlete" and "SD" GM Vickie Guerrero may be setting up the "Rated R Superstar" for the most embarrassing and humiliating moment of his career pro wrestling's grandest stage on April 5 in Houston, Texas. We'll see what happens over the next few weeks.
Well, that's it for me right now. Hope to hear from you soon. C-Ya Later and Enjoy the Mat Mayhem.
Regards,
Eddie-Boy
