WWE Smackdown Review 3/29/13

Note: This is starting to be a weird time of year for WWE. This is Wrestlemania season for the WWE but it feels weird because the main events are taken up by guys who are only in the picture because Vince is scared to trust his full time wrestlers. This is going to be an interesting show because we will see some of the part time players get more attention than the people that are in the roster full time. So with that said, here is WWE Smackdown.........

Opening Segment: The Rock kicks off SmackDown and gets a massive pop from the crowd. Rock tells a story about Hershey from when he was younger and cuts a promo on John Cena. He's interrupted by John Laurinaitis. Rock asks who the hell Laurinaitis is. Laurinaitis says Teddy Long gave him permission to come out. Laurinaitis says John Cena is the reason he was fired and he wants to be in Rock's corner at WrestleMania. Rock says we'll let the people decide and they boo. Rock says he and Laurinaitis should send Cena a message together but they need a handshake first. Rock lays Laurinaitis out with a spinebuster and a People's Elbow. Rock pulls a giant Hershey bar from under the ring, signs it and gives it to kids in the crowd.
(My friend Zak Fellow was happy to see his idol come back to make an appearance. I was happy to see Big Johnny back because he was enjoyable to see. As for The Rock, well he is not promoting Wrestlemania but he is promoting GI Joe 2. This was a classic to see but this is one reason why WWE or Vince is scared to admit that he is stuck in the past.)

Match#1: Chris Jericho vs. Wade Barrett
Winner: Chris Jericho
(I feel so fucking bad for Y2J because it is bullshit that he is in a jobber match with Fandango. I really think Y2J should retire for good and move on with his life. Because WWE is going to fucking bury him. This was a setup match because the Miz was watching Barrett and Fandango was watching Y2J. This was a good match but sad to watch at the same time. )

Match#2: Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee vs. Daniel Bryan and Kaitlyn
Winners: Daniel Bryan and Kaitlyn
(This was interesting to watch. I got to see my two favorite women in WWE wrestle for a second. What puzzles me is why is Ziggler in a match for a lesser title ? We all know that Ziggler could steal the WHC from either ADR or Swagger. Also, why is Big E being put in a tag match? He is the current NXT Champion. This is going to be a clusterfuck of a match.)

Match#3: Jack Swagger vs. The Great Khali
Winner: Double Count Out
(WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! You have to be kidding me? This was the shittiest match of 2013. First of all, anything with Khali is shitty. This was a setup match but a shitty one. We did see ADR and RR get some revenge on Swagger. That was it. )

Main Event: Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow and Antonio Cesaro vs. Sheamus, Big Show and Randy Orton
Winners: Sheamus, Big Show and Randy Orton
(This was a lame ending. We all knew that it was setting up for a confrontation with The Shield. The match was basic babyface tactics. We all got to see their finishers. Then we saw the good guys battle the heels. The end. Boo......)

Final Thoughts: So WWE Raw is three hours and we barely get ten matches but WWE Smackdown is one hour less and we got four matches, what the fuck? This was as good as we will get to see for a WWE Smackdown show. This was fucking sad. We did not get to see ADR in action. We saw bullshit segments. I mean the shit with Ryback and Mark Henry was cool but dumb. We did get to see the WWE Title and we got to see Johnny Ace come back. I will say this show was good for Smackdown but I will call bullshit. See you all for another WWE Raw.
