WWE Smackdown Review 11/23/12

Note: After seeing a bad showing for TNA Impact, I might have to hope for this show is better and not as weak. This is also the madness and craziness of Black Friday for shoppers. This is Black Friday for the WWE. I really hope this is a good show. Here's WWE Smackdown........


Opening Segment: The Miz kicks off this week's SmackDown with another episode of MizTV. He actually gets a decent reaction. Miz talks about Dolph Ziggler and brings out his guest - John Cena. The segment ends up interrupted when AJ Lee and then Dolph Ziggler comes out. We see recaps of the segments at RAW and then out comes Vickie Guerrero and she's upset. Vickie promises it's not over for AJ and Cena.
(Love the Miz either way. However, for the love of God please let this soap opera drama go. Vickie needs to be let go or move on. However, Dolph vs. Cena is going to be interesting.)

Ryback vs. Darren Young
Winner: Ryback
(This is a sad day for PTP. They got sqaushed by Ryback. This was like watching a bear hunting for fish. I mean the carnage. This is also a pissed Ryback because of the events of last Monday's Raw. This was sad to watch to say the least. By the way, Ryback also squashes O'Neil.)

R-Truth vs. Antonio Cesaro
Winner: R-Truth
(Little Jimmy is growing up. However, R-Truth is a grown ass man trying to be a effeminate man. Cesaro is weak to me. He's like watching a soccer player with no balls. This was a good match but these men are going in different directions.)

Alberto Del Rio vs. Sin Cara
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(Did we go back in time? I think I saw this match over and over again. Same with RKO and ADR. I think WWE was on cruise control for this segment. Really? I am going to hope for something different for the next match.)

Big Show vs. Kane and Daniel Bryan
Winner: Big Show
(So this was a good match. This was not bad to watch. I would love to see this more often. However, the ending was lame. I know Team Hell No is very dysfunctional but geez this is bad. This was funny because at least they do have some things in common.)

Kofi Kingston vs. Damien Sandow
Winner: Kofi Kingston
(This is a mid card match of the year candidate. This was like watching classic IC title matches. Damien Sandow is not a bad wrestler but he has a shitty gimmick. This match is too good to try to find anything bad. Except for the fact that Damien Sandow was wearing pink or light purple. Not a bad match......)

Dolph Ziggler vs. Randy Orton
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
(Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez ran in and Orton hit RR with a RKO. Del Rio escaped. On the ramp, John Cena came out and attacked Ziggler from behind. Cena put Ziggler in the STF. Out of all that happened at the end, what puzzles me is how is John Cena able to pull off the STF on Ziggler?)


Final Thought: John Cena can work on Tuesdays again. It was weird to see him on Smackdown after so many years being on Raw. This was a holiday show. What does that mean? It means this show was shit as a whole but parts did make it bearable to watch. Also just on a side note: WWE needs to be consistant about matches and also storylines. So off to relax for the weekend. See you all for WWE Monday Night Raw.
