WWE Smackdown Review 8/3/12



Note: This is going to be an interesting show because we get a new GM on Smackdown. We also will see ADR and Sheamus in action. I guess I am excited to see this be a good show. So here's WWE Smackdown..........


Opening Segment: Vince McMahon kicks off this week's show to a big pop and talks about the new General Manager. He introduces Booker T to a decent reaction. Alberto Del Rio interrupts things which brings out Sheamus. Booker has Sheamus and Del Rio booked in separate matches tonight. Del Rio protests and says he's not wrestling until SummerSlam. Booker announces Del Rio vs. Randy Orton and Sheamus vs. Tensai, which is up first.
(I love this. Booker T as GM is a good fit. Also it gets him off the commentating table because he tries his best to call a match but he is a mess. Seeing Vince on Smackdown was weird since he hates being on there. Not like the old days.)


Match#1: Sheamus vs.Tensai
Winner: Sheamus
(This was a squash for Sheamus. Sheamus is the champ but he's starting the show. That's not right! Also, Tensai is being a joke as well because he is now jobbing again. What the hell!)

Match#2: Antonio Cesaro vs. United States Champion Santino Marella
Winner: Antonio Cesaro
(Finally, a guy to take on Santino. Just one thing, this is the U.S. title. So the U.S. title is code for put it on the guys from outside the U.S. This is a joke.)

Match#3: The Miz, Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan vs. Christian, Kane and Chris Jericho
Winners: The Miz, Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan
(This was a clusterfuck. A good clusterfuck. I guess I love seeing wrestling. The Miz is stuck in mid card hell. For the exception on DB, all these guys are residence in mid card hell. This has to be the best match of the night but that's not saying a lot. I am glad to see The Miz and Dolph actually in a match where it is good.)

Match#4: Ryback vs. Jinder Mahal
Winner: Ryback by DQ
(Jinder is boring. Ryback is getting stale. Moving on. )

Match#5: Darren Young vs. R-Truth
Winner: Darren Young
(Who cares? Not me.)

Main Event: Randy Orton vs. Alberto Del Rio
Winner: RKO by DQ
(RKO is back but ADR is being a pussy. This was a good match until the end. Nothing else can be said.)

Final Thoughts: Aside from Booker T. being the GM, this shit sucked. This was like the run off from WWE Raw. This upsets me because they do put more emphasis on WWE Raw that WWE Smackdown is shit. That's not right. I guess I will try to sit through another WWE Raw. See you all soon.
