WWE Smackdown Review 4/12/13


Note: This is the first WWE Smackdown after WWE Wrestlemania 29. Unlike the epic WWE Raw after WM29, let’s hope we will see something epic. Normally, Smackdown is not epic or spectacular but then again, maybe shit will change on Smackdown. So here is WWE Smackdown.

Opening Segment: SmackDown kicks off with Big E Langston mocking Ricardo Rodriguez. He introduces Dolph Ziggler, who gets a big reaction. Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter come out and Swagger wants a title shot. Out next comes Alberto Del Rio, selling the leg injury from Swagger on RAW. Del Rio wants his rematch but is interrupted by Chris Jericho, who also wants a title shot. Jericho vs. Ziggler is the main event.
(I was happy to see this title change. Like I said on WWE Raw: What took so fucking long? This is a game changer because Ziggler is in the main event. No more jobbing to ADR and others. He’s the champ. As for this main event, I want to see this match. Now it has meaning with the title on the line. Y2J is the man. )

Match#1: Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. Darren Young and Titus O'Neil
Winner: Team Hell No
(This match was like most matches before. This was a setup match. We all know that the Prime Time Playas weren’t going to be new tag champs. So we saw on WWE Raw that The Shield is going to be a part of the tag team title hunt. So this was more for the champs to see The Shield again. So this was a good setup and I can’t wait to see a possible tag title match with The Shield.)

Match#2: Wade Barrett vs. Santino Marella
Winner: Wade Barrett
(This was sad to watch because this was a total jobber match. We all know that Barrett is not going to lose the belt to Santino. This was also a way to move on from the shit with him and Miz. Like I said both on WM29 and Raw, this was a huge waste of time. Nothing else to say……moving on. )

Match#3: The Bella Twins and Tamina Snuka vs.  Kaitlyn, Cameron and Naomi
Winners: The Bella Twins and Tamina Snuka
(So I got to see some sexy women in the ring but my attention was on Kaitlyn. This was basically a shitty match but thank got to see one of my WWE divas. I mean AJ was seen with Ziggler but right now, I got to see my sexy she beast. Other than that, this was a shitty way to put the divas in the show. )

Match#4: Big Show vs. Sheamus and Randy Orton
Winners: Randy Orton and Sheamus by Count Out
(Well this should have ended the clusterfuck of a feud. However, seeing that Big Show was a face for about three seconds, it was funny to see this match end so short. I will be honest and say that this was a good match but the ending fucked up things. Also, loved how Mark Henry took out Sheamus during the backstage interview. Thank Mark……. )

Match#5: Kofi Kingston vs.  Antonio Cesaro
Winner: Kofi Kingston
(Well this was just shit. I say that because this had no real purpose. Kingston was a commentator during the PPV last Sunday. Cesaro was not in the PPV at all. So this was thrown together and that pisses me off. What also pissed me off is seeing Kofi become a jobber and Cesaro hold a title for a long time without any challenges. This was just a shitty match for me. )

Main Event: Dolph Ziggler vs. Chris Jericho
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
(This was a good match to see because the title was on the line plus we got to see some good action for the main event. Also we saw Fandango and Big E get involved in the match. I did not like the action after the match but then again it was better to see the action after the match than see this shit end the show. So this might be a good way to end the show. )

Final Thoughts: Well this wasn’t like the WWE Raw show after WM29 but then again, that show made up for the shitty PPV. I loved that we go to see more action on the free show than the actual PPV. I guess Vince heard us bitching about the PPV and gave us something better to talk about during the week with this show and WWE Raw. So I guess we move on from WM and on to Summer Slam. See you all next week.
