I am pretty sure the WWE hit a pot of gold. Well not WWE but Smackdown in general. Smackdown's show was excellent tonight. Let's run down the action, drama, and excitement that happened:
The show couldn't have started any better. It started with Vickie Guerrero in the ring. She was talking about Edge coming back and being champion. Then here comes Edge down to the ring. Boy was I happy to see him. I was going through an Edge withdraw. I been watching the "Ladder Match" DVD the past couple of weeks and I have watched Edge in those historic TLC matches. I knew Edge had talent and I looked at Edge a different way and just wanted to see him come back. Well he did on Smackdown. It looks like Edge and Vickie are back together again (which I am happy about). There are so many people who hate this storyline but I don't know how you hate it. I am just wandering where they are going to take it and if they are going to leave it off from Edge cheating on her or what. It should be interesting to know. Well Vickie announced a Beat the Clock night where whoever wins their match in the fastest time gets a championship shot at the next PPV.
The first match also couldn't have been better. I am a big The Brian Kendrick fan and when I heard his entrance music, I knew this was going to be a good match. I guess I am a genius or something but I was right. This match had solid action. I thought Kendrick did an excellent job in this match. I am not talking about his dancing, even though that was good as always, but I am talking about his wrestling. He really gave Jeff a work for his art and I was pleased with the match. It had solid action, like I said, and lasted like a real match. He had 12:13 as his time.
Kozlov had to try to beat that time as he faced Jeff's Brother, Matt Hardy. This match was not as good as Jeff's match but it was still entertaining. Kozlov couldn't win the match in the time frame but he still never got pinned.
We also saw tonight a 6 diva tag action. It was the Bella twins and Michelle McCool vs. Natalya, Maryse, and Victoria. This was one of the best diva's matches I have seen in awhile. It was certainly better than Raw's diva match and I think it was better than TNA's diva match. We saw Maryse pick up the win once again, wow she is on e winnins streak. She pinned McCool but only because one of the Bella twins knocked McCool down. Maryse picked up the advantage and won it for her team. It looks like Michelle McCool is turning heel as she pushed Maria down for no reason at all. It was a very exciting match and had plenty of action. A great match and I give them all credit.
Another match we saw here tonight was a tag team match. It was Jesse and Festus vs. The Miz and John Morrison. We have seen so much from Morrison and The Miz recently since they are basically on all three shows but I like their work. It seems like WWE is trying to build up their characters and make them a great tag team. I am beginning to want to watch them wrestle every week. Of course they won but at the end of the match was good. John and Miz were, I would say for a lack of a better word "making" fun of Festus. It was very entertaining though as they both rang the bell once and then again and it had Festus going back and forth. Then at the end it winded up being trouble for them as they weren't ready and Festus got them but they got away.
I was a little disappointed that we didn't see the Khali Kiss Cam but that was alright as the show really didn't need it since it was so good.
Now here comes the main event. The main event was Shelton Benjamin vs. HHH and HHH had to beat Jeff's time of 12:13 to get the title shot at the PPV. This was a great main event and, just like Kendrick, it showed Benjamin's talent. I kind of knew HHH was going to have the same time as Jeff but I was still skeptical. Both stars gave it their all and really had a very close match. The last minute or so I thought HHH was going to lose. Benjamin was going to the outside every time, which is a very good thing WWE thought of. At the end, HHH did win, or did he? It was a tie between these HHH and Jeff's time. If I had to decide, I would make a match next week. It would be Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy and whoever wins would get the title shot. I think that is fair but I think they are going to make it a triple threat match. Overall, Smackdown was a really great show, which is no surprise, and everything I wanted, it happened!
