Smackdown Review 05/04/07
Well long time no see Fuckies. It’s been a long time since yesterday so I won’t waist a lot of time with the pleasantries. I will say now that Backlash is over it will be nice to see if Smackdown decides to come up with some different storylines. What am I saying I bet by the end of the day we say some of the same tired ass stories we say last week. Well….at least Vince isn’t the Smackdown champion. Lets get movin’ on the down of smack.
We start today’s show with some major toolage on the part of Michael Cole and sadly JBL as well. They spent the first 5 minutes of the show praising the Undertaker Batista match from Backlash. If the match was as good as these guys made it sound then I should be ashamed that I missed. However, these are the same guys who said Regal and Boogeyman was a great match-up, so I really don’t put a lot of stock in what they have to say. Speaking of…….Boogeyman is coming out for his match with Regal. Boogeyman has a little friend with him. Cole calls him little boogey……funny that’s what I got when I had a cold in elementary school. Regal then makes his way to the ring escorted by Taylor. Boogeyman gets little Boogey and Regal gets Taylor……I think Regal won out on the partner to ringside award in this match.
REGAL VS. BOOGEYMAN
Taylor interferes in a Boogeyman pin so the match is DQ in Boogeyman’s favor. This match was sloppy. Regal seemed like he was trying to get Boogeyman to perform but it wasn’t happening. Kane also ran in during this match against Regal and Taylor who were trying to cheat…so that was also sloppy. Just Kane coming out looks sloppy anymore. Other then that, Boogeyman is really starting to show his limitations in the ring. He seemed like he couldn’t think of what to do next through the whole match.
GOOD:
-Regal stiff hitting Boogeyman through the whole match was pretty fun to watch.
BAD:
-Boogeyman’s looks totally lost in the ring. Things are not coming together for the Boogey at all.
WERE YOU ENTERTAINED ARROWMETER?
After the match were treated to another look at the end of the Batista Undertaker match, which if you didn’t now ended in a double count….so nobody wins…….I no the feeling. If you missed it this time I’m sure they’ll show it 8 more times tonight.
Back from break and Teddy Long is in his office/supply room with the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. It seems that the dream has a scheme to become Teddy Longs replacement. Long having none of says he’s just looking for an assistant. Long and Rhodes banter back and forth for a little until The Dream leaves and MVP walks in. Man I’m telling you when the heel are heels gonna learn that you should never go to Teddy Long when you have a problem…..wait Long’s about to make MVP’s day worse. MVP talks about how he wants another shot at Benoit because he had the flu at Backlash. Long says alright but, MVP has to win a match with Kane tonight to get the shot. See….ha…I told you so. MVP bitches for a little bit then leaves.
After the break Spanky and London come to the ring. This must mean that they will be followed by Douchebag and Dipshit, which they are. I can’t say enough bad things about Deuce and Domino. It seems like the more bad shit I say the more their on TV. It looks like were having another singles match. This time between Spanky and Domino.
SPANKY VS. DOMINO
Spanky pins Domino after giving him Sliced Bread #2. This match was almost the same as last weeks singles match against Deuce, except for the ending. Kendrick really tried to make the match interesting with his high flying moves. He dove out of the ring onto Domino for a pretty cool WWE spot. Other then that this match suffered from the same thing as last weeks, one guy working his ass of for another guy who is a pile.
GOOD:
-Kendrick worked his ass off to make the match interesting.
-There were some good spots.
BAD:
- Domino (like Deuce) is really not that strong in the ring so the whole match felt lopsided.
-No matter how hard Spanky tried he couldn’t make this match exciting.
WELL…….ARROWMETER?
Well it looks like we move on right into another match right after the break. Mr. Kennedy comes out to the ring. As Mr. Kennedy walks out there is a graphic that tells us that there is 331 days until next Wrestlemania. 331 days until Mr. Kennedy becomes champion. Then Kennedy gets on the mic and says pretty much that exact thing. Matt Hardy walks out to the ring and we have a match.
MATT HARDY VS. MR. KENNEDY
Matt Hardy pinned Mr. Kennedy after giving him the twist of fate almost 19 minutes into the match. This match was a great TV match. This is about as good as it gets on TV. The match flowed well, one time Kennedy beating on Hardy, another where Hardy is beating on Kennedy. These two guys reversed each other over and over which really added to the suspense of the match. It was also a pretty long match for TV running only 3 seconds shy of 19 minutes. I really can’t say enough about this match. It was totally surprising to have this quality of match tonight. It was nice to see Hardy get a clean pin-fall in singles wrestling, it’s been a while.
GOOD:
-The match was almost 19 minutes long which is pretty long for TV.
-Hardy and Kennedy had great presence in the ring together.
-The match was back and forth the whole time, I really didn’t know who was going to win.
-Hardy got a clean win
-We’ll get to see how Kennedy will react to this loss.
BAD:
- If I had to say something I will say that the match started off a bit slow, but it didn’t stay that way for long.
ARROWMETER SAYS:
After the match we are shown yet again the ending to the Batista Taker match. Teddy Long announces a rematch for next week. The rematch will be in a cage. It sucks that I know why there doing this and almost guaranteed how this match will end. For those of you who don’t know I won’t spoil it.
Coming back from break Jimmy Wang Yang is in the ring waiting for an opponent. Gregory Helms comes out, with a new entrance theme that’s pretty laughable if you ask me.
JIMMY WANG YANG VS. GREGORY HELMS
Jimmy Wang Yang pinned Helms after the standing moonsault thing, more proof that the ungodly cruiserweight title reign that Helms had was indeed written to go as such. This was a fairly entertaining match. It was about how WWE cruiserweight match always seem to go. There were some good spots. Nothing overly exciting happened.
GOOD:
-An alright match to break up the heavyweight action.
-Wang and Helms seem like they could let so much more go if they weren’t hindered by WWE‘s rules
BAD:
-Nothing really special about this match.
-Helms losing just proves that his title reign was pointless.
ARROWMETER WHAT YOU THINK?
After the break Batista comes to the ring and it looks like he has something to say. The shirt he is wearing makes it look like he’s been rehabbing injuries at Club Med. Batista starts talking about his match with Taker and how he wondered if all the punishment was worth it. Then he says he wishes he could slap himself, or something like that, because it’s totally worth it, and he’s ready to do it again.
After the break Finlay makes his way to the ring. It looks like he will be wrestling……….The Miz? You’ve got to be kidding.
FINLAY VS. THE MIZ
The Miz loses after he is counted out because he just leaves after having enough of being terrorized by hornswaggle. This match was all about Finlay. The only good thing in this match was Finlay. Obviously this should tell you about how I feel about The Miz
GOOD:
-Finlay
BAD
-The Miz
ARROWMETER?
After the break we get to move on to the main event.
KANE VS. MVP
MVP wins after hitting the playmaker on Kane. This match was all it was ever going to be. Kane is getting old and chubby and is not able to hold his own anymore. I really would like them to give MVP opponents he can work with. There really isn’t much worth saying about this match. Kane lost because Taylor and regal interfered. MVP got his rematch with Benoit. That’s about it.
GOOD:
-MVP
BAD:
KANE
What you got ARROWMETER?
In total this show wasn’t actually that bad. There were a lot of matches which is nice to see. The over all quality of the matches were ok. This is about as much as I can expect from smackdown these days.
LETS SEE WHAT THE ARROWMETER THOUGHT:
Well see you next week, another down, another Smack.
