WWE Smackdown Review – 12/28/12

Opening Segment: Sheamus kicks off SmackDown and says his New Year's resolution is to become World Heavyweight Champion. He calls out Big Show to the ring. Show comes out and says Sheamus won't be getting a title shot. Sheamus came for a fight and Booker T comes out. Show says Sheamus and nobody else in the locker room is worthy of a shot. Booker says the name of every Superstar will go into a tumbler and whoever gets picked will face Show for the title later tonight.

(If I had hair, I would pull it out. This is getting annoying to see and more annoying to witness. I will save it for the end. )

Match#1:  Epico vs. Brodus Clay

Winner: Brodus Clay

(Jobber winning over a jobber is like seeing a cat beating up on a kitten, sad to see.)

Backstage Segment: Sheamus shows Santino how to beat Big Show with the Brogue Kick. Santino tries to do the kick and acts like he pulls his groin.

Match#2: Wade Barrett, Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes vs. Kane, Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston

Winners:  Kane, Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston

(WWE is getting lazy with the matches because it is the holiday season. This was like watching kids do this match on WWE 13. Good on paper but we all know the outcome before the bell rings. God this is redundant. )

Backstage Segment:  Booker says Santino is injured so they will pick another name out of the tumbler. Booker says Show will find out soon enough who it is. Teddy Long brings in Big Show's opponent and it's Ricardo Rodriguez. Big Show laughs and knocks him out with a punch. Booker says this is ridiculous and Show leaves.

Match#3: Zack Ryder vs. Antonio Cesaro

Winner: Antonio Cesaro

(Total bullshit! This was bullshit. Why is WWE keeping the US title on this asshole? Why is it hard to give the title to Ryder? I am tired of Cesaro. Send his ass to NXT.)

Match#4: The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler

Winner: Dolph Ziggler with an assist to Big E Langston

(This was a good match. Love the action and the outside stuff. Big E is scary. This could be a good match to see a few more times before it gets old like Sheamus and Big Show.)

Match#5: Brad Maddox vs. Sheamus

Winner: Sheamus

(I though Ryback damn near killed this guy. Sheamus came close to making this guy look like a rag doll. DAMN!!!!!!)

Match#6: The Usos vs. Darren Young and Titus O'Neil

Winners: The Usos

(I changed the channel. I was into something else. This match made me want to turn my TV off. Thank god for distractions. Moving on……..)

Main Event: Big Show vs. Alberto Del Rio

Winner: Big Show by DQ

(Well at least we did not see Sheamus in the main event but fucked up a good match. The ending was cliché. I guess this is the holiday version of a cliffhanger. )

Final Thoughts: Well this was another holiday episode. Nothing new to see here, so Happy Holidays and see you all for WWE Raw.
