welcome to a new edtion of "My infamous Smackdown recap". as Smackdown has been on My Network TV for 3 weeks now, they are breaking records but lets talk about Smackdown (SD). i made it just in time for Smackdown tonight. when SD first started on air, it started with Big Show in the ring. he was talking about his match he is going to have at Cyber Sunday. he announced that the match stipulation could either be a Last Man Standing, I Quit Match, or a Knockout Match. they said that this is the only match that is going to be voted on WWE.com. i can tell you that i am not voting via text but i will vote, actually i voted already, for the match stipulation. anyway, after show announced the matches, he had 3 demonstrations for the match types. even though they were short, it was pretty interesting. i mean, since when did we see a table being used on smackdown? not for awhile.
i have to say that each week, more and more matches are being added to Smackdown and Raw. this week Smackdown had 7 matches, which is impressive. having 7 though doesnt mean that they were good, were they? well i will tell you on what i think:
the first match of the night was for the WWE tag team championships. it was Carlto and Primo vs. Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. i would have liked this match to be longer. it seemed very short to my standards. even though it was short, it had some great action. everytime Primo is in the ring, he always makes it entertaining. he just flies around the ring and is so exciting. since he was doing that, he got the win for his team and kept the tag titles.
As you all know, i hope, i am a big fan of The Brian Kendrick. i was upset last week when he wasnt on. i heard that he wasnt on this week but when he came out, my face just light up and made the show that much better. i would have loved him to wrestle but he couldnt. he said he has problems with his throat and the docters advised him not to wrestle. well i was upset with that as he didnt wrestle but his body guard did. it was Ezekial Jackson against Super Crazy. this was a very quick match that saw no comeback from Super Crazy. Jackson dominated the match with an easy win. luckly, that wasnt the only time Kendrick came in the ring. he came in after and gave his finisher right on Crazy laying him motionless on the mat. hopefully, Brian fights next week as i am going through Kenrick withdraw.
the match that i think had a great wrestling ability and action was MVP and R-Truth. i dont want to classify MVP as a mid card as i think he could be a main event star. anyway, when i look at the mid card on Smackdown, i think of MVP, Kendrick, Shelton, and R-truth. those are the main mid cards that are very talanted. anytime these stars on in a match, it will make the match good no matter what. and if they faced each other, like MVP and Truth, it will really be a show in a match. this match was. it had the excitement, entertainment, and the action all in one. MVP is loosing every week and needs to fix that. he is better than that and WWE is just making him lose. R-Truth won this match and it was a clean victory with no interferance. like the other match, i would like to see this match again. i think it was alittle bland at first so WWE would need to fix that.
the other tag match of the night was Jesse and Festus vs. Kenny Dykstra and Ryan Braddock. i didnt see much action in this match. Festus ran wild like he always does and that is pretty much it as what stands out in this match. of course, Jesse and Festus won. i see them contending for the WWE tag titles soon.
i was alittle disapointed that Vickie was only on the show for one brief segment. i mean she is the Smackdown GM and deserves more air time. she is still in her wheelchair and neck brace. Sorry Vickie! she went to The Great Khali and asked him to face Taker tonight and basically destory him. that is where this match comes in:
The Undertaker vs. The Great Khali. i was very happy to see Taker fighting again. I havent seen him wrestle since Summerslam as i didnt get No Mercy. that was about 2 months ago, it seemed less, but having him wrestle really brought some edge to the show. i thought WWE could use that to their advantage and advertise him wrestling. really, him and Khali wrestling each other happened before so it wouldnt be that big. i have to say though that Taker needs to change his entrance music and ring attire to the Ministry look. this match actually looked good. it looked good because taker actually battled in it. he always makes matches good when he is in it. Khali dominated most of the match but Taker came back. at the end, it was a no contest as The Big Show came out and attacked Taker. he then got a chair and ORDERED Khali to pick Taker up. well khali doesnt take orders and slammed the chair out of Show's hands. this could mean he is turning babyface, but we will have to find out. it would be intersting though to see how it goes.
the diva's Las Vegas match had a lot of action in a short amount of time. now i dont think this match was short but action was all around the ring. every diva, Natayla, Maria, Marylse, Victoria, and Brie Bella, was going after the dice above the pole on the side of the ring. i was shocked when Maria won. i didnt expect it at all. Maria is great but doesnt really have the wrestling moves but she is probably the biggest diva on Smackdown right now and giving her a title shot is good. i would like to see who wins, either Maria or Michelle. to tell you the truth, i would have liked to see Natalya win this match and win the title as i think she has the most wrestling ability of all of the Smackdown divas.
the final match of the night, the main event, was Jeff Hardy vs. Vladimir Kozlov. i knew Kozlov would pretty much dominate the match as he always does. Jeff fought back at different times but he just couldnt get the job done. Kozlov just used all of his strength to beat Jeff here tonight. i was surprised that he actually won as i thought Jeff was going to win, but Kozlov is undefeated and wont lose now.
the thing i hated most during the Smackdown show was all the commercials. they had so many commercials, before, during, after the match that made it hard to keep interest in it. they have a match, then an interiview and go to a commercial break. after the commercial, they would show a video, ex. is John Cena's surgery, and then have another commercial. during most of the matches had a commercial break in the middle of it. it really disrupted the match and my interest in the product. the match next week, HHH vs. Taker, should be, what JR says "a real slobberknocker". i am hoping this is a clean match with a clean victory from one of the stars.
that is all the time Smackdown has left us this week. please feel free to comment and rate this blog.
