I’m I the only person hoping that WWE has coerced Damien Demento to job to the Undertaker on Raw 900? That was the first main event back in 1993.
No Disqualification Match for the WWE Championship: Rey Mysterio vs Kane
- Well, the match started with Rey kicking Kane’s legs and Kane throwing Rey under the top rope. Guess they got those two spots out of the way as quickly as possible.
- Why the hell are there four Kendo Sticks under the ring?
- This is the most abuse Rey’s taken in a while. Last time I saw him get this beat down was when Chavo put him on the shelf.
- Our local MNTV station is showing this segment in SD. Dear America: Buy new TVs or deal with letterboxing. You’ve had a few years. Suck it up and embrace the change.
- So all this match has shown me is that unless Rey can cheat legally, he can’t be remotely effective against Kane.
- And even with hitting Kane with Kendo Sticks and chair shots, Rey still does the job.
- I’m a bit surprised Del Rio didn’t involve himself in this match.
- I’m still entirely excited for the upcoming Kane vs Undertaker series. Hopefully, neither man gets hurt.
Alberto Del Rio promo/Beatdown of Rey
- Oh, there he is. It’s my new favorite heel.
- Hehe, he just called Rey “little buddy.”
- I’d watch a show where Alberto and Rey are on a desert island with five other castaways.
- Swagger could be The Professor, Kelly Kelly Ginger, Tiffany (if she doesn’t go to jail) Mary Ann, and Vince and Linda would be the Howells.
- “Here on Smackdown Isle!”
- Oh, and Del Rio coldcocking Rey while he was down drew some nice heat.
- Oh, shit, he just Pillmanized his arm!
- I really like that cross arm-armbreaker.
CM Punk with Luke Gallows, Joey Mercury and Serena vs JTG
- MVP and Cody Rhodes are bumped to NXT, Drew McIntyre works Masters on Superstars and they somehow find a way to get JTG onto the main show? What the hell?
- I will miss Serena Deebs and everything she brought to the ring. Two things primarily.
- They brought back the Anaconda Vice? Kickass!
- JTG got in less offense than any jobber I’ve ever seen.
CM Punk promo
- “A pool of his own drool” eh Punk? Guess we can’t leave him in a pool of blood any longer.
Rosa Mendes and Teddy Long backstage/Hornswoggle does his cartoon crap again
- Is it just me, or is The Shake Weight just a big bundle of innuendo?
- While I was a little bored with Hornswoggle charades, Horny doing the Peanut Head dance was a riot.
Dashing Cody Rhodes’ Grooming Tips
- Dunno if I’m going to shave my entire body, but Cody looks good.
Intercontinental Championship: Dolph Ziggler with Vickie Guerrero vs Kofi Kingston
- Wow, Kofi already lost his rubber band. That was fast.
- I have the oddest feeling this feud will go to the PPV and they’ll finally bar Vickie from ringside then.
- The back and forth has been great. The only problem is, every match between these two is just a countdown to Vickie interfering.
- They had me after that Fireman’s Carry takedown. That actually might have been three.
- So Vickie gives Dolph the countout loss and he’s happy? I’m really tired of her. When is Teddy going to step in? Does he even do anything any longer?
And we’re still in SD. I can’t wait until Smackdown goes over to SyFy.
So that whole segment was just a recap of last week’s Kane promo?
Okay, looks like we might squeeze in the basketball contest.
Or not. There’s the commercial.
Jack Swagger Sr. Invitational: Jack Swagger vs MVP
- Uh, so it’s not a basketball contest? I’ve never heard the term “shootout” used for an amateur wrestling contest.
- Ooh, Cape Cod Melody Tent was this weekend. I’m sure that drew well.
- Okay, so this thing that isn’t even a match ends in disqualification? Why are they bothering to start this feud? They won’t have time for this match at Night of Champions.
- That said, Swagger hosting VIP lounge should be fun.
Ley-Cool and Kaval backstage
- I have to agree with Ley-Cool: Melina did look ridiculous. Entirely too silly for such a big event.
Are we really going to call Drew and Cody “Dashingly Sinister?” That sounds awesome. And it made Mrs. Atomic groan, so it works perfectly.
Alberto Del Rio vs Carlos Sanchez
- I still think they should have gotten Joel Gertner. He used to do the intros for Extreme Lucha LIbre in ECW.
- Okay, he goes from destroying Rey Mysterio to working a local jobber?
- Sanchez has more offense than JTG. Mr. JTG, rent, don’t buy.
- The setup for the cross arm-breaker is fantastic. Del Rio is a fantastic addition to Smackdown.
The Big Show with Kelly Kelly vs Luke Gallows with Joey Mercury and Serena
- Why is Striker suddenly behind Show? Just a matter of curiosity.
- Well, there goes the StraightEdge Society.
Undertaker promo/Kane interrupts
- No major change to the Undertaker after this hiatus? Strange.
- Maybe he’ll have a new move or something similar.
- So they’ve added a Doc Holliday cough?
- I like Kane’s implication that Undertaker is getting on in years and doesn’t have it any more. This might be building towards Undertaker retiring.
- I’m hoping Undertaker throws lightening.
- Hmm, third time might be the charm for Kane.
- Biggum heat for Kane stealing Taker’s line. This whole segment was fantastic.
