WWE Smackdown 4/6/12
Opening Segment: John Laurinaitis and David Otunga coming out. Laurinaitis brings out Teddy Long for one last moment. Laurinaitis shows off his new and improved SmackDown and rips into Long. Long wants to quit but Johnny won't let him. It appears Long is under Laurinaitis' control now.
Match#1: David Otunga and Mark Henry vs. R-Truth
Winners: R-Truth and Otunga
(This was a sad excuse of a match. We all know that R-Truth was on Team Teddy. The other two guys were on Team Ace. This was sad to watch because of the new GM of both shows. So sad.....)
Match#2: Randy Orton vs. Kane - No DQ match
Winner: RKO
(This was a good match for the most part. I like this WM rematch. They put their bodies on the line for this match. I miss matches like this on TV. No blood but there was lots of shit going on in the match. This was almost old school for me.)
Match#3: Ryback vs. Barry Stevens
Winner: Ryback
(New character but same shit. This is like a match from old school WWF Superstars. Total jobber match. I really had a flashback from a kid watching this match. Poor Barry, he was fucked.)
In Ring Segment: Daniel Bryan comes out next with AJ Lee and he's pissed off. Fans chant for Bryan but he's not buying it. He tells them to quit mocking him. Lots of "YES!" chants from the crowd. Bryan won't budge and starts dissing AJ before he dumps her. AJ leaves the ring as the crowd chants "YES" and sings "goodbye" to her.
(To be honest, I like this because it is time for DB to get this shit together and he will still be a DB. With that said, it was nice to see little AJ as a valet but she needs to go back to NXT with the rest of them. I love the YES chants. I miss the WHAT chants. AJ was trying to be supportive but DB was being a DB. It was funny to see him lose in like seconds. DAMN!)
Match#4: New WWE Intercontinental Champion Big Show vs. Heath Slater
Winner: Big Show
(This was so sad to watch. Heath was like a deer in the headlights and Big Show was the semi truck that took him out. This was more of a sad excuse for exercise for Big Show. Heath got a chokeslam and knocked the fuck out in one match. Cody wanted to fuck with Big Show but he's ready for Cody's attempts. )
Backstage: More heat for John Laurinaitis. He arranges a face off between Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio before their match begins tonight so Sheamus can't use the Brogue Kick for another surprise win.
Match#5: Beth Phoenix vs.Nikki Bella
Winner: Nikki Bella
(Beth looked good. Nice to see her actually in a match not being in some mess like at WM28. Nikki Bella got my attention for not only winning the match but also utilizing on the distraction from Kelly Kelly. OMG, this was as close as WWE got to showing their divas off as wrestlers.)
Main Event: Alberto Del Rio vs. Sheamus - Non Title Match
Winner: ADR
(This was a dumb ass match because of the stipulation and also because Johnny Ace is being a total tool and creepy heel. Del Rio used the school of Guerrero for the win. This is going to be a great PPV match once we get through all the bullshit that Johnny Ace and Del Rio will use to make Sheamus life hell. )
Final Thoughts: This was Smackdown after WM 28. For the most part, I was hoping for more but got it in glimpses because the divas match showed some hope. ADR and Sheamus will be good. Kane and RKO was my match of the night. Basically the show as a whole disappointed me. I watch TNA just to see status quo but this actually was better than TNA. I guess my hopes will be uplifted come Monday night. Next week's Smackdown is going to piss me off because it will be like the Old School WWE Raw show. So see you all for WWE Raw.
