WWE Smackdown Review 3/2/12

Note: After watching TNA, I hope Smackdown is better but then again I might be wrong. I like that it is WM time but I hope both Smackdown and Raw can hype up more matches and even get some much deserve praise from the fans. So he's Smackdown.....

Sheamus kicks off the show and comes out to a big pop. He begins to talk about WrestleMania 28 but is interrupted by Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler is pulling double duty this week on both shows. Teddy Long ends up appearing and makes Sheamus vs. Ziggler for right now. 

(It's a pattern now that Sheamus must start off Smackdown in a match. More hype for him to possibly beat DB for the WHC. Poor Ziggler is just a patsy for Sheamus this week.)

Sheamus defeated Dolph Ziggler. 

(This was a typical match for both guys. Sheamus is on the fast track for WM and Ziggler is slowly getting back to mid card hell. This was a good match though.)

Segment with John Laurinaitis and Teddy Long. Laurinaitis wants an apology for what happened on RAW. Teddy refuses and makes Mark Henry vs. Big Show for tonight. 

(I cannot wait for this fued to be over with. I like it better when GMs would only fued when it comes to WWE Draft not for WM. Teddy is the face GM and Johnny Ace is the heel GM. )

Santino Marella defeated Heath Slater. 

(OMG! Santino won a match! Poor Heath Slater. He jobbed to Santino. That's better than jobbing to Hornswoggle.)

Eve Torres comes out and cuts a promo like she did on RAW. Natalya comes out and farts, which leads to a match. 

(Really? Really? So Nattie is farting to start a match? WTF! And why is Eve on Smackdown? Shouldn't she be trying to use men on Raw?)

Eve beat Natalya in a quick match. 

(This was a silly match. Eve wins after reversing a pin. Eve needs to be on Raw and Nattie needs to stop farting. )

In-ring segment with Cody Rhodes and Big Show. Teddy Long comes out and makes Show vs. Cody for the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania 28. Long brings out Mark Henry next. 

(So Big Show might get to become a triple crown champ? On paper, Show should win but Cody might pull off an upset. Also why are they still making Show and Henry face each other? Isn't their feud over?)

Big Show beat Mark Henry with the knockout punch. 

(Big Show gives me something to laugh about. When he does that punch, the guy who has to sell it look like he just got a brick thrown at him. Mark Henry has been selling this punch for a while. I never saw a big black man go down like he has. )

Backstage segment with Laurinaitis, Teddy and David Otunga. Otunga threatens to sue Teddy for pushing Laurinaitis. Otunga vs. Big Show is made for RAW instead.

(Poor Otunga. He's going to be seeing stars on Monday.)

Teddy books Drew McIntyre in a match with Justin Gabriel and says if Drew loses, he's fired. 

(It's about time......I want him to go back to Raw or even go to NXT and kill the new recruits.)

Justin Gabriel beat Drew McIntyre with the 450 Splash. This time, Teddy appeared on the big screen and fired Drew. Drew actually cried before leaving.
(Goodbye Drew. He will be back either next Friday or on Monday. Poor Drew.....)

Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton fought in the main event until Kane's pyro went off and he came down the ramp. Orton and Kane brawled as Bryan escaped. Kane got the upperhand in the ring and chokeslammed Orton. Kane took a mic and stood over Orton, welcoming him back.
(DB is a DB. This could have been a good match but Kane had to ruin it. DB needs to have a straight match or not try to be such a DB. Randy needs a good feud soon. He is not suppose to be in mid card hell. By the way, why is Kane feuding with Orton? Randy has too many voices to embrace the hate...)


Final Thoughts: Smackdown made up for TNA. I cannot wait to see the GMs switch shows. Teddy will bring his GF Aksana so I get to see her wrestle. I cannot wait for next week to see Johnny Ace fuck up Smackdown. So next week is the topsy turvy week. See you all on Monday.....
