WWE Smackdown Review 3/22/13

Note: WWE Raw was lacking. I usually don't ask much from WWE Smackdown but this is Wrestlemania season. We need to see good matches and also good feuds. We are going to see the same shit from last year. However, I hope to see something different this year. So I guess it is time to be happy to see WWE Smackdown do something good. Here's WWE Smackdown........

Opening Segment: The Miz kicks off SmackDown with MizTV. His guests are Randy Orton and Sheamus, talking about the six-man match at WrestleMania 29 and how they need a partner. They talk about Big Show and here he comes. Booker T ends up coming out and says tonight, Sheamus, Orton and Big Show will team up to see if they can get on the same page.
(Good opening. I hope this match is worth the hype. Also RKO is scaring me. He is not suppose to be nice. )

Match#1: Mark Henry vs. Zack Ryder
Winner: Mark Henry
(Zack Ryder is a jobber that will be punished for getting popular without using the WWE's help. So this was another punishment for him. As for Mark Henry, this was setup to promote the power match with himself and Ryback. Seeing Ryder get pummeled was sad to see. However, Ryback and Henry will be a good mid card match.)

Match#2: Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
(Just like Zack Ryder, Kofi is a jobber that was suppose to be in the main event but we all know that Kofi is not main event stature in the WWE. This was to setup Ziggler to be the show stealer. He will do something at Wrestlemania. Big E is a beast. I saw him on WWE NXT and he is a beast. He is the second comming of Lashley. This will be an interesting situation.)

Match#3: Jack Swagger vs. Chris Jericho
Winner: Jack Swagger
(This was kind of a weird match to see because we all know that Swagger is trying to be the heel of all heels at Wrestlemania. This was kind of a good match because both men can wrestle and Y2J loves helping the kids in WWE. This also setup a fucked up match with Fandango and Y2J. What the fuck? I know Y2J did that celebrity dance show but really.)

Match#4: Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes vs. Tensai and Brodus Clay
Winner: No Contest
(I wanted the heels to win. I wanted a clean ending. Instead, we got a female clusterfuck. Why did WWE bring back the Bellas? We all know that both are fucking wrestlers in WWE now. This was a shitty match but the heels could have finished the match.)

Match#5: The Miz vs. Antonio Cesaro
Winner: The Miz
(This was a match to set up the feud with The Miz and Wade Barrett. We all know that Cesaro is not going to have a match at Wrestlemania unless it is on the pre show. I am not happy to see this feud build up because we all know that Barrett is a good IC champion but I also hate that the mid card titles are being wasted and overlooked. This was not Mizz's best match.)

Main Event: Randy Orton, Big Show and Sheamus vs. Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal
Winners: No Contest
(This whole main event was to setup the big 6 man tag match. Thank god we did not have to see the faces kill 3MB. This was good at first but when the Shield came down, it was not going to be good. Plus this 6 man match is going to end at the PPV with someone turning heel. So I guess they did setup the match at the PPV but much more.)


Final Thoughts: Well I guess it is sad to see that WWE Smackdown was actually better than WWE Raw because they did setup something for Wrestlemania. Most of the matches and feuds are better on th8is show because we have a champion that is on the road and also on TV. Unlike WWE Raw, we know that Smackdown can make it better for WWE fans to watch something good. So I guess we hope that WWE Raw is better this week. See you all on Monday............
