BRM Reviews the 12/16/2011 Smackdown (almost as bad as TNA)
Posted: Dec 18th, '11, 15:22
BOOKER T & CODY RHODES SEGMENT- GREAT!
CODY RHODES vs. DANIEL BRYAN- 5.75/10. Good for such a short match.
ALICIA FOX vs. NATALYA- DUD! Alicia Fox pins Nattie in less than a minute. At this point, that doesn’t mean a damn thing anymore, as everyone (aside from AJ) has been able to do that. Props to Alicia Fox for coming up with a catchphrase, though.
CRAP ABOUT THE SLAMMY NOMINEES- THE SLAMMYS ALREADY HAPPENED. So going over the nominees in a category… IS A WASTE OF TIME!
MARK HENRY & JACK SWAGGER BACKSTAGE- Made no sense. If Swagger sees a future with himself as World Heavyweight Champion, but without Mark Henry in it, and Swagger is talking about how he has beaten the Big Show before… why would he want to injure Big Show tonight (thus making it harder for Show to beat Henry?
THE USOS vs. PRIMO & EPICO (w/Rosa Mendes)- 3.75/10, but good for the time it was given.
THE BIG SHOW vs. JACK SWAGGER (w/Vickie Guerrero)- 4/10.
TED DIBIASE JR. vs. HEATH SLATER- 3/10
JINDER MAHAL vs. SHEAMUS- 4/10. Doesn’t do anything for anyone. Mahal will never get off the ground if he keeps getting his ass kicked.
So “she” is the herald of Chris Jeric… the mysterious person in the promos… and it said “control” at the end… hell… this seems more like Chris Daniels than Chris Jericho (and come on… we’d all mark out for Allison Danger showing up on Raw announcing that Daniels was coming).
RANDY ORTON & ZACK RYDER vs. WADE BARRETT & DOLPH ZIGGLER (w/Vickie Guerrero)- 7/10. If I were doing it, I would have had Barrett pin Ryder, but oh well.
Overall, this week’s Smackdown sucked. If not for the main event, it would have been worse than Impact. It did absolutely nothing to sell me this PPV, which is what the goal of the go-home show should be.
