WWE Smackdown Review 10/19/12

WWE Main Event 10/17/12

Match#1: Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz - Intercontinental Title Match
Winner: Kofi Kingston - New IC Champ
(After the kick that damn near killed The Miz, I wondered if this match was going to happen. This was a good match. I just find it fucked up that this match was on a third string show. I hope there will be a rematch at the HIAC PPV in a couple of weeks.)

Match#2: Dolph Ziggler vs. Zack Ryder
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
(Well I guess their match for WM29 is not going to happen after this match on the third string show. This was not as good as they use to do their matches. Both these guys basically have Youtube shows because WWE can't do anything with them on TV most weeks. So you will see Zack Ryder be goofy and Dolph Ziggler act like Daniel Tosh. This was a wasted match on this crappy pre show for Smackdown.)

WWE Smackdown 10/19/12

Opening Segment: The Miz kicks off another MizTV segment. He's upset about losing the Intercontinental Title to Kofi Kingston on Main Event. Miz demands a rematch at the Hell In a Cell pay-per-view. Miz is joined by Kane and Daniel Bryan as his guests. Miz predicts the champs will lose their belts at Hell In a Cell and rips into Bryan. Big Show comes out as does Dolph Ziggler. They all argue and out comes Booker T. Booker books Team Hell No vs. Ziggler and Show for later tonight. Miz will go up against Randy Orton.
(The Miz was right to bitch about losing to Kofi. He gets a title shot after breaking up with R-Truth. So while R-Truth is off to be the funny mid card face with an invisible friend, Kofi is off to be king of the mid carders. This was a funny segment because DB and Kane are stil dysfunctional. Big Show is still my favorite but he is also beginning to get somewhat annoying. This was basically a setup for the opening match.)

Match#1: Randy Orton vs. The Miz
Winner: RKO
(This was a good starting match. RKO needs to be ready to face ADR. The Miz will be getting a return match with Kofi at HIAC PPV. This served as what I said earlier: This was a warm up match for RKO. I loved this match and so far this did not upset me.)

Match#2: Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow vs. Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd
Winners: Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow
(This was a jobber match for Rhodes Scholars. Basically just warming up for Rey and Sin Cara on Monday. This was too quick to really see and basically was quick to be criticized.)

Match#3: Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler and Big Show
Winners: Team Hell No (DB and Kane)
(Well this was not a clusterfuck. I think this is a good thing that this was not a real serious match. I love seeing Kane become mid carder. Also, DB is about to go back to his mid card roots. The tag team titles are not as strong as it use to be. Big Show is ready to face Sheamus. Ziggler is going to fuck up the MITB by getting killed trying to cash it in on Big Show.This was a good match but it was sloppy. No clusterfuck!)

Match#4: Antonio Cesaro vs.Ted DiBiase
Winner: Cesaro
(He's boring. He makes me not want to see him wrestle. He's a joke. I am speaking of Cesaro. Moving on......)

Match#5: Heath Slater vs. Brodus Clay
Winner: Heath Slater
(Ugh, I am going to move on because the bowels of mid card hell has come to Smackdown. Moving on.........)

Match#6: Layla vs. Natalya
Winner: Layla
(As much as I wanted to watch this match, I was being a man. I just saw two women bouncing around. I was in dreamland for this match. Sorry but Layla is hot as hell. Natalya is ok but Layla is like Gail Kim in TNA. Also Eve was out doing commentary. She is sexy as well but then again, Layla has some curves. I know who won. Moving on......)

Main Event: Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett - Lumberjack Match
Winner: Sheamus
(Well this was a colossal clusterfuck! This was a good match but it was also a clusterfuck. Lumberjack matches equals brawls and clusterfucks. Good match in the ring but outside the ring, it was like a two sided gang fight. Big Show was there and also Dolph Ziggler. Team Hell No comes out at the end of the match to beat up guys and try to get to Team Rhodes Scholars. Basically DZ almost became champ but Big Show KOs DZ. Chaos in chaos. )

Final Thoughts: Why is Smackdown's second hour so messy? I wish I had the answer to that. Most of the show was good until the ending. I know I did not really watch the divas match but those matches on WWE TV means channel changers or time to drool at hot women. Basically the whole show was shitty but could have been better. I am hoping WWE Raw is better. See you all for WWE Raw.
