WWE Smackdown Review 5/18/12

Note: After the events on WWE Raw, I am going to try to watch this show without getting super pissed. I just watch a good TNA and want to end the week with some good wrestling not shitty opera stuff. With that said, this is WWE Smackdown........


Opening Segment:  John Laurinaitis opens the show and talks about facing John Cena at Over the Limit. Laurinaitis wants sympathy and wants the fans to pray for him. Punk comes out and is glad that Laurinaitis will finally be terminated after John Cena beats him on Sunday. Punk wishes Laurinaitis the best in his future endeavors to a big pop from the crowd. Punk goes on ripping Laurinaitis until he's had enough. Laurinaitis tells everyone to go to hell and announces Punk vs. Kane for tonight.
(Thank you CM Punk for starting the show with some pipe bombs . I love the way these guys interact with each others. I love this segment because we could see the end of Johnny Ace at the PPV. This was a good way to start the show. )

Match#1: Sandow comes out as Yoshi Tatsu waits in the ring. Sandow cuts a promo and doesn't think Tatsu is worthy of wrestling him tonight. Yoshi taunts Sandow and calls him a chicken. Sandow lays Tatsu out with a modified neckbreaker and leaves.
(Boring! Boring! Bullshit! Moving on…….)

Match#2: Daniel Bryan beat Zack Ryder with the Yes Lock.
(This was a good match to see. It was nice to see both these guys can give us a good match on TV. Maybe someday this could be a title match. Zack Ryder is good at being a goof but can get it done in the ring. DB is DB. So this was a good match. Better than the previous match. )

Match#3: Kane beat CM Punk by DQ with Danial Bryan staying out for commentary. Bryan tried to interfere with a chair shot but hit Kane instead. Kane, thinking Punk hit him with the chair, laid the WWE Champion out.
(This was a great match to see on TV but was wasted because of the ending. This was more for PPV but then again, it was nice to see the progression on both CM Punk/DB feud. Kane is going to retire in the sunset soon but he still can go. Great match until the ending. )

Match#4: Santino Marella beat Cody Rhodes in a champion vs. champion match.
(This was a wasted match because this could have been done to merge the titles. Both guys can wrestle but then again, the titles are pointless and useless now. It was a good match but wasted. )

Main Event: Randy Orton defeated Sheamus with a roll-up. After the match, they shake hands, but Orton RKOs Sheamus.
(I loved this match. It was a clean finish and no interference. Nothing else can be said about this match.)


Fianl Thoughts: This was a great way to lead into the PPV. All the matches look good but this is a dumb PPV. This and the next one are filler for SummerSlam. I hope nothing goes wrong at the PPV. Until then see you all for WWE Raw.
