Saturday, May 12th, 2007

Well hello again Fuckies. It’s been a long time since last week….no it hasn’t. I’m still hoping that we can finally get an entertaining show this week, although I say this every week and well……..you know. Call me an optimist though, but this week might be the week that shit starts to get interesting. I might be saying this because of the WWE’s worst kept secret since being implicated in a steroid scandal a few months back. If you don’t know what this secret is I won’t spoil it, you’ll find out by the end of the show. Well on that note……lets get to it.
Since I DVR Smackdown I have been fast forwarding the intro. I have to admit I really can’t force myself to like it. The start of the show and already were getting video packages pimping the Undertaker Batista match that is coming up at the main event. I can just tell that were going to be seeing a lot more of these packages all night.
Out of the package and MVP is heading to the ring. MVP’s entrance still reminds me of the college football entrances, well without the pyros….and the tron……..and the Smackdown set. After MVP makes it to the ring Finlay makes his way to the ring. Commenting on Finlay’s entrance is a little stupid considering his entrance is just him walking to the ring. Hey speaking of…..Benoit then comes out followed by Matt Hardy.
MVP AND FINLAY VS. BENOIT AND MATT HARDY
Benoit pinned MVP out of some weird roll up type thing. This match screamed “throw together tag match to cross feud people for a while,” The match pretty much followed the WWE tag formula to a tee. The wrestling was pretty solid. The roll up that Benoit did to MVP looked smooth. I’m predicting that next week we see MVP vs. Matt Hardy and Finlay vs. Benoit.
GOOD:
-The wrestling was pretty solid
-Benoit and MVP are working a good little angle
BAD
-Formula, formula, formula.
-Predictable WWE booking
WHAT DID YOU THINK ARROWMETER?
Coming back from break and another promo for the main event, Jillian is in the ring singing……..well that’s what Cole said it was. On cue Michelle McCool comes to the ring.
JILLIAN VS. MICHELLE MCCOOL
McCool pinned Jillian after a backbreaker. This was the negative of last weeks match, still the same picture just a different outcome. It was pretty much as standard of a Woman’s match as you can have. There were blown spots and the wrestling was below sub-par.
GOOD:
- boobs
BAD:
- The Wrestling.
DID YOU GET OFF ARROWMETER?
Backstage and Teddy Long and Kristal are getting their thing on. Teddy long asks Kristal to bring in Vickie Guerrero next week. Then what can only be described as two extras from the movie Deliverance walk in. Apparently these Banjo playing Appalachians are the new tag team on Smackdown. They call themselves The Dalton Boys……..that sounds like a car parts shop. These two upstanding gentleman will be wrestling on Smackdown next week……and I thought Deuce and Domino were dumb.
Back from break and Michael Cole and JBL interview Ashley who looks like she is live from the Equipment room. They talk about her injury and seeing Kendrick and London lose their belts. Not a really exciting interview.
Out of the interview and guess who comes out…………come on guess………oh come on………fine. Kendrick and London run out to the ring. Guess who follows them………..still not guessing huh? Douchebag and Dipshit, also known as Deuce and Domino. They drive their monkey asses half-way down the ramp, then they walk the rest of the way. Looks like were getting another singles match. Yeah….that makes sense to do with your tag teams.
LONDON VS. DOMINO
London pinned Domino after a moonsault that also kicked Deuce off the ropes. I’m still sticking with my original opinion of Deuce and Domino, they can’t wrestle well, their not entertaining, and their gimmick is just stupid. London tried his hardest to make the match somewhat interesting. I’m sorry to say that there was no way this match was going to be interesting. The only good thing about this match was London.
GOOD:
-London
BAD:
-Domino
ARROWMETR SAYS:
After the match yet another promo for the main event. Their really pimping the shit out of this match.
After the break Kane Comes to the ring, followed by the Boogeyman with his little Boogey. Regal and Taylor then follow. Looks like the match is Taylor vs. Kane so I’m not sure why the hell Boogeyman is out there……he must be bored.
KANE VS. DAVE TAYLOR
Kane defeated Taylor after a clothesline. I really don’t want to talk about this match. These feuds are pointless. Boogeyman being at ringside was also very pointless. The wrestling isn’t very good because Kane is getting old, and Taylor is already there. Next week were probably going to get Regal vs. Boogeyman with Kane in his corner.
GOOD:
-It ended eventually.
BAD:
-It didn’t end soon enough.
ARROWMETER THINKS:
After a couple more commercial breaks filled with entrances and more pormos for it the main event is about ready to start.
BATISTA VS. THE UNDERTAKER ( Cage Match )
The match was ruled a draw after both wrestler’s feet touched the ground at the same time. Since it was a draw Undertaker retained the championship. This match was actually pretty good considering. This match had two handicaps working against it, Undertaker’s arm injury, and Batista. Despite those however the match turned out to be somewhat entertaining. Batista pretty much did his thing the whole match. Taker was doing pretty well, although you could just see the pain in his face. The match went for a long time so that was nice in itself.
GOOD:
-Good match Length time
- Undertaker worked around the injury pretty well
BAD:
-Taker’s injury still dictated the pace of the match.
ARROWMETER:
After the match Mark Henry just walks out and starts beating on The Undertaker. Not sure why, but when you’re a Gorilla Predator you don’t need a reason. After Henry beats on him for a while Edge’s music hit. Edge walks out and gives his case to the referee declaring that he wants his title shot now.
EDGE VS. THE UNDERTAKER ( Money in the Bank Title Shot)
Edge pinned Taker after giving him the spear. Edge is now the World Heavyweight Champion. This really wasn’t much of a match. Undertaker was Bloody and already knocked around really good before this match even started. Edge tried to pin him right away after doing nothing but that didn’t work, so he tried it again…it still didn’t work. Edge waited for Taker to pull himself up so he could spear him and get the pin. Congrats on the swerve.
I’m not going to rate that as a match because it really wasn’t. But I will say that just on the swerve alone Smackdown has become a real interesting show. I wish WWE hadn’t of spoiled that for me. I would have been so psyched to see that play out without knowing what was going down. Overall the show was pretty good taking into account the ending. I can say that I am going to tune in next week to see how shit is going to play out.
ARROWMETER SAYS WHAT? 
Well that’s it for me this week. I’m going to go to bed because it’s 2:45. See ya Fuckies.

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

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.
Posted in WWE SmackDown by TheBoss
Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Welcome back Fuckies. It’s the down……the down of smack. This week I’m not very excited to get started. After the brain fuck that was last weeks Smackdown I‘m finding it very hard to be excited about the show this week. Especially with announced matches like Kane and Boogeyman vs. Taylor and Regal. So I apologize if I seem a bit hard on the show this week, but fucking hell the “E” stands for Entertainment so that’s what I hope for. But like I’ve always been told you can hope in one hand and shit in the other and which one will fill up faster. On that unsanitary note lets start the show.
The WWE opening kicks off but no Smackdown opening this week. Instead we come right up on Batista beating down Kennedy. This seems like a logical move after last week except for one thing. Batista’s not fighting Kennedy at the pay-per-view. So why the hell are we supposed to care about Batista and Kennedy. The beat-down continues for a couple more seconds until Finlay runs in and starts beating on Batista with his rock-on-a-stick. They all start going at it for a while until they make their way to the ring. As they start getting close to the ring Undertaker’s music hits then the lights go out. The lights come back on and Taker is standing in the ring looking at all of them like they just farted on his pillow. The three other guys stand there quaking with fear as Taker’s music hits again, and the lights go out as well. When the lights come back on Taker has disappeared.
After the break Kennedy and Finlay are in talking to Teddy Long yet again. You’d think that heels would eventually learn not to go to Teddy Long. All he does is pretend to give a crap for about 5 seconds until he makes their situation worse. And it looks like tonight is no different. Kennedy says that Batista and Undertaker should have their match tonight. Yeah…..good one Ken. That’s going to win Teddy over, giving away a pay-per-view match away for free……..oh wait they did that on RAW. Well Teddy Long says they will have a match…..wait for it…….but it will be a tag match against Kennedy and Finlay. AGH…….who didn’t see that coming. There should be a sign on Long’s door that reads HEELS DO NOT ENTER FOR FEAR OF BEING JOBBED OUT.
The first match of the night seems like it’s going to be a dooosy.
KANE AND BOOGEYMAN VS. TAYLOR AND REGAL
Boogeyman pins Regal after a double handed choke slam. This match was incredibly sloppy. Kane and Boogeyman fumbled their way through this match. It seemed like Regal and Taylor were not even able to keep these guys in any sort of groove. I found myself frequently looking at my watch during this match. There were many blown spots, many by Kane himself. Boogeyman wasn’t even tagged in until the last 30 seconds of the match. Speaking of Boogeyman, he looked especially gross today. He looked like the human equivalent to a pimple.
GOOD:
-Regal and Taylor frequently went stiff on Kane which is always nice to see against Kane.
BAD:
-Kane looked so out of it during the match.
-There were many blown spots.
-It looked like nobody knew what the other was trying to do.
-The end just looked like an easy way to keep the Boogeyman from looking weak in the ring which we all know he is.
ARROW METER RATING:
After the break London and Kendrick start heading towards the ring. It would appear that Spanky is wrestling a singles match because London is all taped up. The DDP look doesn’t really work for London. I bet your saying to yourself “Well at least this segment is going to be at least a little better then the last one,” well you’d be wrong because out come the eternal douche bags, Deuce and Domino. Yet again driving their car about seven feet and then getting out and walking 50 yards. After a certain distance it just makes it ridiculous to even bring the car out at all. So it looks like Deuce is going to be the guy that wrestles Spanky, this should be fun.
SPANKY VS. DEUCE (this sounds like a match between things guys do in the bathroom)
Deuce pinned Spanky after a kick to the head. This match was as bad as was expected. This Deuce guys whole repertoire seems to be based on hitting people hard. Spanky tried to break him down but it just came across as pointless. This match was long, it seemed to drag on, and ,even though it might be leading to a longer feud between these two teams, the match felt pointless. That was just the feeling coming off the entire thing. Deuce and Domino are really starting to piss me off.
GOOD:
- Spanky tried his hardest to make Deuce look like a competent wrestler but to no avail.
BAD:
- The match was boring, no other way to say it.
- Deuce is not a strong wrestler and it is starting to show through bad.
- This match felt pointless even though it really wasn’t.
ARROW METER SAYS:
Well lets see if the next segment can continue on with the whole shows theme. The Theme so far is to put everyone on the show that pisses me off. I’m, not kidding we have a real stinker show so far.
Well there might be a ray of hope because MVP is making his way to the ring. I finally realized the whole spectrum of MVP’s character. He’s what would happen if you took Kobe Bryant, Terrell Owens, and Barry Bonds put them in a blender and hit gooify.
He hit’s the ring with a mic and starts cutting a promo. He starts talking about beating champions. This must mean were about to get a jobber thrown at MVP. It looks like I was right but MVP says instead of one “champion” he is going to fight two “champions.” He introduces the first one. The guy comes out and he looks like a drunk frat boy who decided to dress as William Wallace for a Halloween party. MVP announces him as Hamlet McBeth. Come on guys Hamlet McBeth was Romeo Henry the 5th taken.
MVP VS. HAMLET MCBETH
MVP pinned Mr. McBeth after he hit the playmaker. And that is about as much attention as this match is worth. Anything more would be giving way to much attention then the Smackdown writers gave it.
GOOD:
- Again we got to see MVP’s arsenal.
BAD:
- This match was a squash on top of a squash so it was pretty much boring.
ARROW METER? 
After the match MVP prepares to announce the next opponent when Benoit’s music hits and he comes out. Benoit says that if you feel like fighting a champion then why not fight a real champion. So Benoit makes his way to the ring. Are they really going to give this match away only two days away from the pay-per-view.
MVP VS. CHRIS BENOIT
Huh……looks they are. MVP walked out on Benoit right before he hit the flying head butt. This match was pretty long considering it’s at Backlash on Sunday. It was actually a pretty decent match-up between these two guys. For the most part Benoit owned MVP. The ending was the only logical way from making people who are actually going to order Backlash from feeling like they just saw one of the matches for free.
GOOD:
- I said it after Wrestlemania and I will say it again, these guys can work together well.
- The ending was expected but good.
BAD:
- The match was a little long for the people who are actually going to order Backlash.
ARROW METER WHAT HAVE YOU?
Jillian came out to the ring, presumably to make them regret coming to the show. Yep…..she starts singing. Michelle McCool comes to the ring for what looks like a match.
JILLIAN VS. MICHELLE McCOOL
Jillian won the match after giving Michelle some kind of face buster. This was about as standard a women’s match you can have in the WWE today. Blown spots, a lot of slapping and hitting, and two girls wearing something that would look a little too revealing at a beach. I’m not complaining about that last one.
GOOD:
- Um……….Boobs
BAD:
- Pretty much everything else.
WHAT YOU THINK ARROW METER?
After the match Jillian tries to sing again but gets tackled by Michelle. That was pretty funny actually.
Up next is the main event. I don’t have to tell in what order they come out. Let me just say that over two commercial breaks Kennedy, Finlay, Batista, and Undertaker came out.
KENNEDY AND FINLAY VS. BATISTA AND UNDERTAKER
Batista pins Finlay after giving him the spine buster. This match was actually kind of frustrating for me. See……it was a no DQ match, yet Undertaker spent most of the match watching Batista get double teamed while he just sat there trying to get the tag. It was a goddamned no DQ match he could have just run in and helped. Hell if he was trying to soften up Batista he could have run in and done it himself. Most of the match was Kennedy and Finlay double teaming whoever was in the ring. They used the no DQ but Batista and Undertaker looked like they had forgotten it was a no DQ match. Nothing much else special happened in the match. Batista over-sold the leg injury. Kennedy and Finlay did what they do, in being heels. I still don’t get the fact that since Batista and Taker are fighting at Backlash why are they fighting Kennedy and Finlay instead of each other. It makes no sense.
GOOD:
- There were no blown spots or nothing.
- Kennedy and Finlay heeling it up was pretty entertaining.
BAD:
- Batista and Undertaker seemed to forget that it was a no DQ match.
- Nothing happened that I would consider interesting in this match.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ARROW METER?
Overall this show stunk for me. There really wasn’t anything entertaining other then MVP and Benoit’s pre-Backlash match. Segment after Segment just seemed to be trotting out the dull. I really hope shit starts to pick up after Backlash.
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE SHOW ARROW METER?
Well see ya next week. Hopefully it will be better, cause it can’t get any worse.
Posted in WWE SmackDown by TheBoss
Saturday, April 21st, 2007

Welcome to the fold Fuckies. It’s time for the down on the same smack time and the same smack channel. This week were coming off the……uh……..last week…..were coming off last week. It does seem that now that Wrestlemania is over the bookers can breath a sigh of relief and coast until the Rumble. Well lets see if that pattern continues with this week as were promised Kennedy vs. Undertaker a match that came out of last weeks tag match. Oh…good a pointless match coming out of another pointless match….oh well….lets get to it.
This week’s Smackdown is being brought to us Americans from Milan Italy…..does that means that all those boots that the wrestlers give to each other have finally come home. Looks like we start out our foreign exchange wrestling with the Blahtastic man himself Batista, strange enough its for a match. I can’t remember the last time Blahtista had a match that wasn’t the main event of Smackdown….oh well I also can’t remember the last time I gave a crap about Batista in general so this is no different.
After Batista makes it to the ring, and poses for about 2 minutes too long, Finlay walks his Irish ass down to the ring. This match exists for one of two reasons. One, Batista will own just to show he is still bad. Or two, somebody’s going to run in for some reason.
BATISTA VS. FINLAY
Looks like reason two it is, Batista wins of DQ when Kennedy runs down and clobbers Batista. This match was pretty pointless, even for a Smackdown match. Nothing was really accomplished except that we know that Kennedy and Finlay are officially affiliated. The match was pretty sloppy, but I guess that’s what you get when you get Batista. Other then that there really isn’t anything else to comment about., it was pretty……blah.
GOOD:
-Kennedy and Finlay being aligned could work out.
-We got this match out of the way…right away tonight
BAD
-Even with the run in there really wasn’t any point to this match. I like how building up to a Batista Taker rematch involves Batista and Taker not even dealing with each other but two other guys that aren’t even involved in the angle.
-It was a Batista match so it was pretty sloppy and slow
OVERALL RATING: Crap-on-a-Stick
After the match Finlay and Kennedy continue to beat down on Batista until the show goes to break.
After the break Jillian comes out to the ring. She grabs a mic and starts singing a song that can only be described as sounding like the banshee from Darby O’Gill and the little people singing the menu from Olive Garden. Michelle McCool comes out to the ring and butchers the Italian language some more when she tries to tell Jillian that she sucks. Jillian disagrees, McCool beats her down, end of segment.
The Hardys and Chris Benoit come to the ring. Matt Hardy had to add a little more movement to his entrance as to not make Jeff look like he is totally tripping balls. Chavo and Helms come out together, even though there really is no good reason these guys should team up considering that Chavo is holding the title that Helms held for a fucking year. MVP’s tunnel then magically appears and he makes his way to the ring.
THE HARDYS AND CHRIS BENOIT VS. CHAVO, HELMS, AND MVP
The match ended with Benoit making Helms tap to the sharpshooter. This match seemed to be a platform for everyone in the match to get their spots in and nothing more. MVP and Benoit are feuding but Hardys aren’t feuding with Chavo and Helms so it really seemed like a throw together match. The match was technically sound, but Benoit was in the match so there is no reason it shouldn’t have been. The ending was fitting but nothing really came out of it.
GOOD:
- A technically sound match with very little roughness.
-A decent TV match considering no build or reason.
BAD:
-Lots of spot wrestling towards the end of the match. Just everyone getting their moves in.
-Little to nothing came out of this match so it was a throw away match in that respect.
OVERALL RATING: Ehhhh.
Spanky and London run out to the ring, and I do mean run. London looking more and more like Keanu Reeves. In fact if we cave Spanky a red hat they would so look like Bill and Ted. This is followed by the Double D Douche bags driving their car all of five feet until they have to get out and walk the whole rest of the way to the ring.
SPANKY AND LONDON VS. DEUCE AND DOMINO
Deuce and Domino win after hitting Spanky with the Crack ‘Em in the Mouth. Well there goes an entire year reign from Spanky and London. The whole match was decided by London doing some moonsault to the floor and KO’ing himself. Not to mention that Deuce and Domino showed absolutely no wrestling skill in this match so not only the win hollow it hurts the entire reign of the other team. And after last week, spending so much time dealing with the fact that they got DQ’ed for doing their move, this week the do it right in front of the ref and nothing happens. This is horrible booking and I hope Deuce and Domino fall out of the plane as it heads back to the states.
GOOD:
-Nothing.
BAD:
-Everything I just said and so much more.
OVERALL RATING: Black hole of entertainment (no entertainment leaves its grasps)
After the match Spanky tends to his still downed partner as we all wonder what the hell tag team titles are actually for, while in the back we get a shot of Kane’s head and a promise of Kane coming next…..woohoo.
Taylor and Regal are in the ring as we come back from break. The pyros hit and the pudge monster makes his way to the ring.
KANE VS. REGAL AND TYAYLOR
Kane wins off count-out when Taylor and Regal just leave his ass in the ring. This match was sloppy. This match was too long. This match was pointless. Kane is very obviously taking Big Shows role as the lumbering big guy because he cannot wrestle the way he used to. The best part of this match was when Taylor and Regal just left.
GOOD:
-Good sense taking over and Regal and Taylor leaving in the middle of the match.
BAD:
-Pretty much everything else.
OVERALL RATING: Fuck Kane
Back from break and Taylor and Regal are asking Teddy Long not to be put in any more matches with Kane. So what does he do? He puts them in a tag match against Kane and the Boogeyman next week. I’m telling it wouldn’t be so bad if Long would change it up every now and again. But every week it’s the needless persecution of heels all across the Smackdown Kingdom.
Kennedy comes out, does one of his promos, and over the course of a couple commercial break Undertaker makes his way to the ring.
THE UNDERTAKER VS. KENNEDY
Kennedy gets DQ’ed when Finlay runs out and clobbers Taker. This is pretty much the same exact thing that happened earlier. It would be cool except for the fact that it’s not going anywhere. Kennedy and Finlay aren’t facing Taker and Batista at the pay-per-view so why are they running in. The match itself was pretty standard. There really was nothing special in the match.
GOOD:
-It’s just nice to see Taker in the main event and not Batista.
-Kennedy’s character is ever present and he looks extremely comfortable in the role he plays.
BAD:
-Still don’t see the point of the run ins but hopefully things are worked out
Overall this show left a very sour taste in my mouth. We have just hit cruise control since Mania. There is no evidence that their planning on shaking shit up any time soon. There really wasn’t that great match on the show tonight. There really wasn’t any really good matches for that matter. Really nothing happened at this Smackdown.
OVERALL SHOW RATING: Lame
Well that’s it for me this week, Fuckies. I’m pretty tired so I’m gonna get going. See ya nest week.

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

Happy Friday fuckies, it’s The Boss here with another rousing rendition of that song you know and love called Smackdown. I’ve been listening to a lot of radio so I’m inadvertently talking like a DJ. I’m taking pills for it…..so I hope it clears up soon. That being said on with the countdown of the Smackdown. This week were following up the follow up to Wrestlemania, lately this means that nothing changes and we all wonder what the hell happened at the biggest pay-per-view of the year.
Starting out this week we get the Smackdown equivalent to McMahon…Teddy Long, well if McMahon was shorter, blacker, and had it out for every heel on the show instead of being the biggest one in the company. Long announces that, since Blahtista so eloquently asked for a rematch last week, there will be a match at Backlash. That match will be Blahtista vs. Undertaker in a Last Man Standing match. Ahhh…Backlash, giving people a reason to be pissed of that they spent an extra ten dollars on Wrestlemania instead of waiting for a month to see all the same shit. After this announcement Long tells us to kick it, not sure what were supposed to kick exactly.
Then Finlay makes his way out to the ring with the little hornswaggle, I still don’t feel right typing that name I feel like I’m cursing in another language. Kennedy comes out to the ring and grabs the mic. He pleads with Finlay not to let the match commence, and that he’s sorry for everything that happened with Hornswaggle. Finlay accuses Kennedy of whining and whimpering, but then he accepts his apology because that’s what people who like to fight do, they look for any other recourse instead of fighting to solve a problem. Then Finlay tell Kennedy that if he puts his hand on his Hornswaggle again he will stick the rock-on-a-stick down his throat. All this talk of hornswaggles and sticking things down other’s throats makes me feel like I’m watching a Celtic promo movie. The two shake hands and guess who comes out…..Teddy Long. Keeping his long reign of unreasonably booking heels he puts them in tag match against Blahtista and Undertaker. Ya know that makes so much sense, booking two guys in a tag team match that are feuding. I wonder where they got that idea? Oh…….I think I saw that on RAW three weeks ago. I love recycled booking.
Backstage we see Michelle McCool getting prepped, to do what I’m not sure, when there arises a ruckus in the ladies locker room. Detective McCool runs to check out what’s the haps. She runs in to see Gillian manhandling…….I’m sorry womanhandling Ashley. Gillian bitches about not being in Timbalins new video and then she bolts. In run in Spanky and London to see what’s the matter. We go to break while Ashley is whining like a goat in a blender about her leg.
Back from the break and “the Double D Douchebags” Deuce and Domino head to the ring for their tag team title match, P.S. I do however like the top rope flip they give to their girl escort….taint it terrific. Spanky and London then run out to the ring sans useless plastic. I really hope that’s not going to be the reason they lose this match. It would just fit that the one day they actually need Ashley she’s crying in the back like Nancy Kerrigan at a night stick convention.
“THE DOUBLE D DOUCHEBAGS” DUECE AND DOMINO VS. SPANKY AND LONDON
The match ended in a DQ when the douchebags went for the Smashmouth. Side note, it’s not good when your finishing move as a team is one where if the rules are being enforced it leads to a DQ. It’s also not good when you make the quickest and most agile team of wrestlers in the WWE look slow and lumbering. That must be what they teach at the Andrew Dice Clay school of wrestling. This match was slow and lumbering. Deuce and Domino’s whole shtick is being able to beat their opponents bad. However that really doesn’t work against Spanky and London, their some of the smallest guys in the company it’s not that impressive. So far Deuce and Domino have shown me that their gimmick isn’t the only thing that sucks about these guys. The ending of this match just made the whole thing mean even less.
GOOD:
-Spanky and London are still cool, even if the guys they wrestle are lumbering jackasses.
BAD:
-Deuce and Domino have shown me absolutely nothing in the ring to prove to me that there worth a shit, same goes for this match.
-The ending was so stupid. Hey guys you’re getting a tag team title shot. OK why don’t we get ourselves disqualified for doing our dumbass double team hold-and-kick.
-The constant need for Smackdown to make their tag champs look week is perplexing to me.
OVERALL RATING: Hickory Dickory Dock…This match sucked Cock.
After the match Deuce and Domino act all butthurt because the ref DQ’ed them. They yell at the ref and then at London and Kendrick.
After the break Deuce and Domino break into Teddy Longs office while a Playa is trying to get the hook-up yet again. Guys you should know not to cock-block this man, he will take it out on you. They still act all butthurt for getting DQ’ed and Long tells ‘em that if they want to make it at all they should start playing by the rules, Yeah cause that’s worked so well for guys like Triple H, Ric Flair, and Roddy Piper. JBL then refers to Long as Captain Cyalis. Sometimes I love JBL
Back out at the ring MVP enters the ring area with all the usual fanfare and spectacle of a mid-season game in Oakland. Benoit makes his way to the ring with absolutely none of said fanfare.
MVP VS. BENOIT
MVP pinned Benoit by some reversed roll up near the ropes. This was a pretty good match. One of the best matches I’ve seem on Smackdown in a while. I really like the way MVP and Benoit work together. I think that MVP could have a future with the WWE. Matches like this are the ones that show what wrestlers are all about. I mean if you put on a good match at Wrestlemania its because it was the big show. It’s the match that you put on weekly for the TV audience that shows what wrestler you will be. MVP duped Benoit in the end to try and go for a roll up then used that roll up to get Benoit to pin himself so that MVP could steal the win. I really liked this ending and the match in its entirety.
GOOD:
-Good match flow between these two wrestlers. The back and forth between MVP and Benoit works well.
-Pretty long match for a TV match. That was a nice change of pace.
-The ending was great. You could see MVP work out the ending in his head. It was planned so it seems so much cooler then just a regular roll up.
-MVP has shown in his two matches with Benoit that he can hang with the big boys, and that he is a pretty sound wrestler as far as fundamentals go.
BAD:
-There was no Ballin’
OVERALL RATING: Kickass
After the break MVP is in the back talking too Krystal. He says to everyone he’s got four words for them “I told you so,” right on man….right on. He also says he’s going to be ballin’ when he becomes US Champion, I hope it happens.
Daivari is in the ring when we go back out, and his opponent Kane slobs himself to the ring. Kane gives Daivari that ” I know what your insides look like,” stare. It’s a look that also says that Kane didn’t call after their last date because he was busy with a bigger dildo.
KANE VS. DAIVARI
Kane def. Daivari of a chokeslam. For all of you who didn’t read my first Pink Slip or if you have never read one of my reviews before, I HATE Kane. He’s slow, He’s lumbering, worst of all were supposed to believe that this pale mass of dough is a monster. This match is another reason I hate Kane. They put guys like Daivari in these matches against Kane that he has absolutely no chance of winning. I mean after a while feeding these guys to a big lug like Kane just seems mean. This match was a squash. More importantly it was a boring squash.
GOOD:
- Uhm……….nobody died
BAD:
-Kane
-Daivari
-squash
OVERALL RATING: Pale white horse shit
After the match Regal and Taylor hit the ring and start whaling on Kane. It’s nice to see that some wrestlers don’t like him either. The three guys scrap for a while until the two attackers felt they’ve done enough and leave the ring.
After the break Blahtista hits the ring with his farting pyro. Seriously pretend he’s farting when his pyro hits, it’s freaking hilarious. Then the Undertaker hits the ring. Well I shouldn’t say hits, more like takes 5 minutes to eerily walk towards the ring then takes another two minutes to take off his hat. It is nice to see him with the belt still. We go to break while Undertaker’s music is playing.
We come back from break and Undertakers music is still playing. Then Kennedy and Finlay head to the ring consecutively.
BLAHTISTA AND UNDERTAKER VS. KENNEDY AND FINLAY
This match was more of an excuse to create tension between Batista and Undertaker. Most of the match was spent focusing on what Undertaker and Batista were doing then worrying about an actual tag match. Don’t get me wrong the match wasn’t bad it just seemed to have a split personality. One hand you have two feuding individuals who are trying to work together. On the other hand you have Kennedy and Finlay who don’t give a fuck about their feud and are just trying to beat them. Batista wasn’t terrible in the match which is nice. I am tired of seeing Kennedy put in these matches that do nothing but further somebody else’s feud, especially after he won Money In The Bank.
GOOD:
-Kennedy and Finlay did everything they could double team Batista and Taker.
-The back and forth was done pretty well
BAD:
-Kennedy does not need to be dragged into another persons feud just to give it a little more tension.
-I’m tired of the “let’s team up the guys who are feuding,” matches. In reality these guys probably wouldn’t work together at all and just spend the whole time making sure the other one was beat up going into their match at Backlash.
OVERALL RATING: Spectacularly Blah!
After the match Blahtista and Undertaker stare at each other until the show goes off the air.
Overall this show just felt like it was running in place. It felt like nothing happened. Most of the matches were pretty good so that was nice.
OVERALL SHOW RATING: This show was limper then Tom Cruise at the Playboy Mansion.
Well that concludes this weeks Smackdown review. Until next week I’m out like overused wordplay jokes.
Posted in WWE SmackDown by TheBoss
Saturday, April 7th, 2007

Ah-hoy there fuckies, The Boss is back with the Smackiest of the Smackdown review. For the two people who read this review, you might have noticed that last week was unfortunately lacking in the Smackdown department. My cable yet again went and didn’t record Smackdown. I thought about just writing something up from the results, but I decided against it. I owe all two of you a review that actually reviews the show not just talks about results. That, and I figured nobody would notice. Now on to the down of smack.
Well this week were coming off the biggest pay-per view of the year…Wrestlemania. I tell you this like you don’t already know. Some things happened at that show, Kennedy won Money in the Bank, Mercury is still fired, and….oh yeah Undertaker beat Blahtista for the World Championship belt. I’m so happy. Let’s see how they can fuck this up.
Kennedy starts off this weeks show, by coming out to the ring with his metal case, meaning that he is Mr. Money in The Bank…………Bank. He cuts a promo about his win and introduces us to the next big era of wrestling, announcing that the Kennedy era has just begun……..begun. I love this whole repeat the last word thing. People at work think I’m autistic because I’ve started to do this in every day life. could you imagine doing this in the drive-thru at McDonald’s, “Yeah I’d like a cheeseburger….cheeseburger ,and some fries…..fries, also a coke…….coke”. Yeah that’s fun.
Jeff Hardy then pays a visit to the Smackdown arena. You know I just figured it out. there is no brand split, it was all a clever trick to make us think that were seeing something different then Mondays. I’m not fooled…….not anymore. It looks like we’re getting a match.
JEFF HARDY VS. MR. KENNEDY
Kennedy def. Hardy off of a DDT
A decent little opening match here. Jeff Hardy seems to wrestle the same type of match over and over, but it’s not out of place considering that the type of match he wrestles is consistently entertaining. Kennedy dominated most of this match with the exception of the beginning. There were a few slow spots but nothing that took away from the match as a whole. the crowd was very much pro-Hardy.
GOOD
- Pretty good opening match with a good pace.
- I usually don’t get to see Jeff Hardy at all so that was nice
- Kennedy won…so that makes it good in my book
BAD
- Nothing really unique at all
- Jeff Hardy wrestles one type of match
OVERALL RATING: GOOD
After the match, as Kennedy’s heading towards the back, Hornswaggle (god I feel like a tool when I type that) comes running out towards Kennedy. While Kennedy is looking at the little guy Finlay clobbers Kennedy with the shelale……I still can’t spell that word, looks like it’s still rock on a stick. Finlay then grabs Kennedy and tells him that if he ever touches Hornswaggle again he will be watching Wrestlemania from a wheelchair. Ah….. so that’s what happened to Droz. I guess it makes sense though, my mom always told me that I better stop touching my hornswaggle, and I hardly ever got out of my chair. Finlay walks towards the back as they go to break.
Back from break, and Teddy Long appears to be getting his Mack on in the back with one of the divas, that whole line would have been funnier if Rodney Mack still worked for the company. And as always Kennedy runs in while a brother is trying to get with it. I’m sure because Kennedy did this that Long will put him in like a funeral match against Kane and the Undertaker, the object of the match is to be the first one to kill Kennedy. Kennedy then asks Long for a match with Hornswaggle, and Long agrees. So next week it will be Kennedy vs. Hornswaggle…………oh and Finlay. See I knew it Teddy can’t go five minutes without screwing a heel on this show. It’s all well and good but…come on at least try and mix it up every now and again.
We go now to Ashley walking backstage, when all of a sudden Timbalin comes to talk to Ashley. I’m not really sure what they talked about, pretty much the whole conversation was in new gibberish. Then Gillian interrupts the intellectual spouting of random syllables so she could give Timbalin a taste of the singing pipes from hell. Her singing sounds a lot like Howard the Duck having a seizure.
Benoit greets us from out of the break. He heads to the ring…..well pretty much that’s it. AAAHHHH Fuck…..The Miz then heads out to the ring. You know if there is one person who I would love to see boiled in acid up to his chin it’s the Miz.
CHRIS BENOIT VS THE MIZ
The Miz def. Chris Benoit, lets just say by interference from MVP
I really didn’t even have to watch this match to know what it was going to be like. One of these Wrestlers is a great talent who has constantly been known as one of the best talents in wrestling ever. The other is a black hole of talent, any talent even near him gets sucked up into oblivion. Can you guess which one is which. The Miz is like the Paris Hilton of the WWE, you know the only reason he’s on TV is because he sucked a dick somewhere. The only thing that came out of this match is that maybe we’ll see a rematch between MVP and Benoit.
GOOD:
- Chris Benoit
BAD:
-The Miz
OVERALL RATING: Bad (sorry Chris The Miz’s sucktastic ways took this match)
Backstage Booker is bitching about Matt Hardy grabbing the queen during the MITB match. The run to a match as we go to break.
Back from break and Booker is on his way to this ring missing a lot of the fanfare that we usually get from a King Booker entrance. Matt hardy then makes his way to the ring in about the same fashion he has done for about three years now.
KING BOOKER VS. MATT HARDY
Matt Hardy def. King Booker with a small package roll up
This match was pretty slow all the up to the last minute or so when it started to pick up a bit. The whole match, other then the end, was just Booker beating on Hardy and wearing him down with holds. there were times during the match Hardy would start some offense only to be stopped cold. The end of the match was quite a bit faster then the rest of it. It seemed very much like these two were saving everything they had for the end of the match.
GOOD:
- The ending was unexpected, I did not see Hardy taking this one.
- For about the last minute of the match these guys had a good back and forth match going on
BAD:
- For the most part the match was slow and a little boring.
- Sharmel was more annoying then usual on the sidelines.
- Too many stall moves in a TV match
OVERALL RATING: GOOD
After the match Sharmel comes into the ring with a mic and berates Booker for losing. She calls Booker a disappointment, then she bolts as we go to break.
Back from the break and Dave Taylor is in the ring with William Regal. Kane’s pyros hit and he comes brooding out to the ring.
KANE VS. DAVE TAYLOR
Kane….uuuuhhhh….I guess def. Taylor
There really was no match here. It was just Kane coming out and venting frustration because he lost to the Punjabi pile at Wrestlemania. There was no start bell, there was no end bell, there really was no match. Regal and Taylor both got Glennified.
GOOD:
- Nothing good about this waist of time
BAD:
- Kane coming out is basically bad from now on.
- The non-match was pretty stupid
OVERALL RATING: BAD
After the match Booker is running after Sharmel backstage to apologize to his boo. Sharmel slaps the shit out of Booker for his trouble.
Oh yeah we get a promo for the return of the predator ape himself Mark Henry.
Spanky and London run out to the ring with useless plastic Ashley, who’s sole purpose is to be the mask remover for Spanky and London. Chavo Guerrero and Gregory Helms comes out to the ring, followed by Deuce and Domino. Looks like the double D dumbshits are out to spectate.
SPANKY AND LONDON VS. CHAVO AND HELMS
Spanky and London def. Helms and Chavo with a double team sliced bread to Helms
This match was pretty high intensity through most of the match. As far as tag team matches go this was a fairly decent one for TV. It did seem to follow the formula a bit too much but since the speed kept up it really didn’t hurt it all that much. The last spot of the match was pretty cool. Sliced Bread #2 of the top rope with London helping powerbomb style. Chavo and Helms kept up with the tag champs pretty well, which can be tough considering they’re like the fastest wrestlers in the company right now.
GOOD:
- The match was fast paced with a good amount of quick moves throughout
- There were some good spots through the match
- Chavo and Helms were able to put down with these two
BAD:
- Did not stray from the tag team formula too much
OVERALL RATING: Good
Back from break and a promo for all of the people that Undertaker has beat at Wrestlemania plays. I am so glad that Taker took the match with Batista. It rights so many wrongs. Then the druids come to the ramp. So this means instead of the 5 minute Undertaker entrance we get the ten minute entrance. Sheriff Taker comes out to the ring holding the belt which still looks cool. Taker grabs a mic and stands in the middle of the ring, and then Blahtista comes to the ring. Is it too much to ask that we get one Smackdown without the Big Bad Blah. The two guys stand in the ring and eye each other for a while until Batista so eloquently states “Congratulations I want my rematch.” It is a wonder that people think this guy is any good doing anything. I mean come the fuck on. then out of no where Booker attacks Taker. Undertaker however does not go down. Booker gets beat down by Taker then he gets tombstoned through the announce table. And Booker is down, while The Undertaker stands defiantly with his belt.
OVERALL SHOW FEELINGS
This show was defiantly better then the Smackdowns leading to Wrestlemania. Something about this show just felt like more was happening then past weeks. Some of the matches were good, some of the matches were bad, but the overall feeling of the show was better.
OVERALL SHOW RATING: GOOD
Posted in WWE SmackDown by TheBoss
Saturday, March 24th, 2007

What’s up fuckies, it’s another edition of the ever mind-numbing Smackdown review. I’m sure that this week will be another in a long line of shows that really does nothing but keep us coasting until Wrestlemania. Oh ya, I forgot about the BATTLE OF THE BILLIONAIRE BUTT PLUGGERS. I didn’t really forget I just was trying to give myself forceful amnesia. I’m sure we’ll here all about how Vince McMahon and Donald Trump will somehow be the most interesting thing at Wrestlemania this year, despite holding any entertainment value what-so-ever, or even being involved in the direct match. Well lets get on with down of smack.
Well it looks like we start this weeks Smackdown with something that actually makes me ponder that Batista starting things out isn’t so bad, Vince McMahon. He comes to the ring blows himself verbally for a few minutes, he shows footage of Eugene getting his head shaved, and then he blows himself some more. God this whole Battle of the Billionaires match is quickly rising in my forever fuck you list. He then tells everyone in the audience that when he shaves Trumps head he will symbolically be shaving all of America’s head. Yah Vince, because all of America has a billion dollars, numerous hot ex-wives, their own TV show, and looks like they wear a dead ferret on their head. I think Vince has officially stepped out from reality to his own world filled with billionaires, cocksuckers, and people who think wrestling is mainstream news worthy. Vince keeps talking and pumps the fact that Stone Cold will call the match down the middle, if by the middle you mean slightly scewed one way then sure he will. He keeps talking and then announces again the Bobby Lashley vs. Vince McMahon match that will happen next week. I will love Lashley forever if he gives Vince the dominator through a bed of spikes. Then he puts Lashley in a match tonight against………MR. KENNEDY…….and Randy Orton? Brand Extension be damned. Orton then gets booed almost louder then Vince, until Vince does the Orton pose at the turnbuckle then everything is right in the land again. The two wrestlers take turns sucking the proverbial dick of McMahon in the ring for a while. Vince, in his all knowing wisdom, makes the match against Lashley a handicapped table match. this segment was way too long, but it had Vince so I’m sure he thinks it was time well spent.
Back from break and Kendrick and London make there way to the ring accompanied by useless plastic Ashley. They seem to be wearing masks that I can only describe as surrealist Halloween masks. Then MNM come to the ring in all of their metro sexual glory.
KENDRICK AND LONDON VS. MNM (TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH)
London pins Mercury after a frog splash crossbody. The match was actually pretty good. The tag team formula that I so often bitch about was not present in this match. The flow was good and the pace was quick. There was no bullshit ending which helped.
GOOD
-The pacing of the match was quick
-These two teams seem like they can work well together. Given a longer time I think these teams could put on a really great match.
-There was no formula in this match which was really nice considering it has been so long since I have seen a WWE tag team match without the formula.
BAD
- The useless plastic at ringside added absolutely nothing to the match and actually hurt the product just being out there, which is great considering they are probably going to be the ones at Mania, how sad is that.
OVERALL RATING:GOOD
Backstage an interview with the big pale gump Kane is taking place. We get to hear about Daivari and how Kane is going to use his hook on him in the match, to do what I’m not really sure, maybe to make Daivari Kababs (mine will come with chicken). This whole hook thing, which is so subtly brought back from See No Evil, is ridiculous. Well unless the match ends like the movie which sees Kane’s getting his eyes gouged out. That would be worth the price of admission alone. In a sad note it looks like WWE decided not to go with the middle eastern quasi devil baby idea.
Back from break and yet another Maryse intro which at this point I’m thinking is to make horny 14 year old boys think Smackdown is like those 1-900 number commercials, all visual and no pay off.
CHAVO GUERRERO VS. JIMMY WANG YANG
Jimmy Wang Yang pins Chavo after a top rope moonsault body block. This match was a good WWE cruiserweight match. Vince doesn’t let these guys bust out very often but we do get short glimpses of it, which is nice. There were some good spots in the match including the afore mentioned moonsault. Chavo drop kicked Jimmy Wang Yang while he was trying to do a flying crossbody. The match was quick and these two wrestlers worked pretty well together. All in all this match was a good showcase of good WWE cruiserweight wrestling.
GOOD
-Quick match with some good spots.
-These two wrestlers worked well together
-There were no slow parts of the match
BAD
-The match itself was pretty pointless. It just seemed like a way to get these two wrestlers on TV. Which isn’t a bad.
OVERALL RATING:GOOD
After the match they show a video package remembering Arnold Skaaland. If there is one thing WWE does that is bar none better then any other organization it is remembering fallen wrestlers.
After the break we are treated to a look at Stone Cold’s movie The Condemned, which looks like a cross between The Running Man and No Escape but thrown together by monkeys with ADD.
After the movie preview MVP comes to the ring. I still expect an entire football team to run out of that inflatable tunnel. He then announces his opponent Cedrick Van Haussen, who looks like a buss boy at Oktoberfest. JBL then blasts Cole for being a Xenophobe for commenting on his clothing.
MVP VS. CEDRIC VAN HAUSSEN
MVP beats Van Haussen with a play-maker which is that overdrive move from last week. This match was just made to get MVP some sort of momentum going into Mania, even if the momentum is just a crawl speed.
GOOD
-MVP seems to be getting his wrestling groove
BAD
-Still pretty pointless
OVERALL RATING: GOOD (I don’t care, I like MVP for some reason.)
After the match MVP gets on the mic and starts talking shit to Benoit about their match at Wrestlemania. He says that Benoit will become part of the MVP legacy. Well if the whole football thing holds true that legacy will involve at least three drug related arrests and another bogus assault charge as well as Benoit.
Time for the handicapped tables match. Kennedy comes to ring and instead of his full entrance we get…..HEY, Orton’s music hits. Then in true over pushed marking style Lashley comes out to a pretty large ovation.
MR. KENNEDY AND RANDY ORTON VS. BOBBY LASHLEY (Handicapped tables match)
Lashley puts Kennedy through a table then consecutively puts Orton through another table. This whole match was slow with random bursts of Bobby Lashley’s push showing through when he dominates Orton and Kennedy all at the same time. This match was the Bobby Lashley show. This guys push is so weird, first he’s not over enough to main event a Smackdown brand pay-per-view, now he’s in the most hyped match at this years Wrestlemania. It looks like somebody might have broken that magic eight ball that WWE creative uses to decide who to push and when. This match was just hard to watch. Considering that Kennedy has one on one wins against the Undertaker and he couldn’t beat Lashley in a Handicapped tables match this whole match was just silly. there are just some days when watching wrestling is about as fun as playing an old school Game Boy with half of the pixels missing.
GOOD
-The tables broke in the right places.
BAD
-Well lets see. the match was incredibly lopsided considering it was against two of the top heels in the company, and it was still a squash.
-Lashley did not need to go over these two guys, even if you don’t like them
-The match was pretty slow and boring.
-Everything else, I’m done talking about it
OVERALL RATING: BAD
After the match McMahon glares at Lashley, which I think is all he can do now-a-days, well that and verbally tickle his own twat.
Back from break and we have another backstage interview. This time it’s…..Batista. I’m beginning to hate this Kristyl chick, she picks the lamest interviews possible. First we get Kane then Blahtista. That’s like ordering poop for an appetizer just to find out that a bowl of bile is the main course. Well lets see what he has to say, it’s about to get Blah in here.
He reacts to what Taker did last week. Then he fulfills the blah in his name by saying that its not about getting angry but………..I DON’T FUCKING CARE. This guy is about as useful on the mic as frustrated field mouse.
CHRIS BENOIT VS. GREGORY HELMS
Benoit makes Helms tap out to the crossface. This match was about as standard a match that Benoit can have when you know he is going to own his opponent. The match was pretty solid considering it was just a match to put over Benoit so he didn’t look so bad tapping to Cena on Monday. Really nothing else to say about the match. Both of these guys are good workers. well I guess I did have else something to say.
GOOD:
-Benoit style match with brisk pacing
-JBL putting over Benoit instead of MVP even though he’s a heel announcer
-Some good wrestling spots through out
BAD
-Point of the match was just so Benoit could win a match after taping to John Cena.
OVERALL RATING: GOOD
After the match JBL gets up from the announcer chair and just leaves. I’m not exactly sure why maybe he doesn’t like the show either.
There’s all this pimping going on for the BOB match but I refuse to mention it because the more I talk about it the more I want to bob for apples in a vat of acid.
Teddy Long is shown backstage macking on Kristyl, it must not be for her interviewing skills. JBL walks in to cock block the brother. Bradshaw then suggests that he interview Blahtista and the Undertaker in the ring next week. That will be fun, “I’m here to wrestle,” “Rest in peace,” for ten minutes. Teddy Long then agrees to what he calls the biggest interview in sports entertainment history. I don’t know it seems that honor should belong to when Roddy Piper had Austin in Piper’s Pit. That’s not a joke or nothing that’s just how I feel.
In the back Batista is shown walking when Booker comes up to him to talk. But before any words Finlay attacks Batista, and both Finlay and Booker beat on Blahtista until security pulls them off of him. All this while Booker is shouting, “That’s what I wanted to talk to you about.”
When they come back from break Booker is in the ring. Next out is Finlay with his rock on a stick. Undertaker comes out with his ten minute long entrance. It looks like Blahtista is not coming out. I’m so happy I don’t know how to express it. I will just get to my knees and thank god I don’t have to watch Batista wrestle.
KING BOOKER AND FINLAY VS. THE UNDERTAKER
The match ended with Booker and Finlay getting DQ’ed for Finlay hitting Taker with his rock on a stick. This match progresses like most handicap matches for the most part. It also felt like most tv main events lately, especially going into Wrestlemania. The crowd didn’t seem to be into this match very much, which doesn’t surprise me cause it was mostly just Finlay and Booker beating on Taker. The Deadman started to turn the match around, but that’s when Finlay hit Taker with the rock on a stick.
GOOD:
-It was a solid wrestling match. There were no blown spots really.
-I like the whole Booker & Finlay partnership.
BAD
-The ending was pretty standard WWE DQ
-The triple threat formula was pretty strong hear with no deviation from the normal flow
-The match never felt like it went anywhere for me
OVERALL RATING: BAD
After the match Booker and Finlay continue to beat down The Undertaker until Batista comes out and cleans house. Batista and Undertaker beat up on Booker and Finlay. Taker then goes for the last ride but Batista throws Booker into him and boos abound. The show ends with the two men glaring at each other and snarling.
This was just another show that felt like it was just cruising into Wrestlemania without really doing much in the way of shaking shit up. There were some decent matches on the show but, overall, the show was very bland.
OVERALL SHOW RATING: Meh
Well, I will see you next week here at the only Smackdown review on this site.

Hola fuckies, I know the Gringo does the spanglish thing but I figure I would give it a try. I’m not sure if it really works for me, oh well. My cable is up and running, well not so much running as displaying colorfully. It’s time for the down of smack, and I’m sure we will be hearing about the battle of the of billionaire buttfuckers sometime today.
And this week we start Smackdown with………you’re kidding me Blahtista again. This is getting ridiculous. Blahtista has started off every Smackdown since I have started reviewing it. He is dressed this week in a very New York stock exchange kind of way, JBL should be able to connect with himon that alone. Things then go from worse to much fucking worser as we are shown the Miz is in the ring in a highlight reel type of setup. This should be interesting, who can cut the shittier promo. So let me get this straight instead of Jericho’s highlight reel we get Miz TV, which must stand for Miz totally vapid. Miz tries desperatly to prove to everybody that he really is a worthless waist of skin by merely opening his mouth. I would like one of those missiles from that Future Weapons show to stray from its course and turn the ring in to very boring rubble. Miz then tries to show that he has a sense of humor by turning the lights out and trying to get Blahtista to think Undertakers coming out. Oh yay hahaha, that’s a good one, I think my eyes are starting to bleed. Blahtista then shocks everybody by Batista bombing The Miz.. Ya know for a moment Batista wasn’t that boring, he did something I have wanted to do since the diva search. However I come back to my senses when I realize that whole promo said absolutely shit.
Side thought: I’m just a little creeped out by these Wrestlemania promos that show the wrestlers as kids. Especially the one with Torrie. No young girl should ever dress like Paris Hilton, that’s just not right. and if they really wanted to make her look like Torrie they should have gotten a little Puerto Rican kid to follow her around so she can kill his push.
Back from break Mr. Kennedy comes to the ring and gives us all one his great entrances\promos. KENNNNEEDDYY…….sorry I get carried away. Matt Hardy then walks to the ring. Well I guess Kennedy is going to win this match. Matt Hardy will not die but that doesn’t mean he’ll win either
MR. KENNEDY VS MATT HARDY
Well it looks like I was wrong. Matt Hardy wins the match with a twist of fate. Mr. Kennedy is starting to look like the AntiCena, he kicks the guys ass for the entire match and then falls after two or three moves. The match was decent. It was pretty long for a Matt Hardy TV match. It felt a bit lopsided being that Kennedy pretty much owned Hardy for most the match and then lost. There wasn’t many spots to note. However, there was a spear by Hardy out of the ring to Kennedy that seemed pretty stiff.
THE GOOD
-The match was a good length for a TV match, and it never felt too long
-There was some pretty good psychology in the ring from Kennedy that made the match interesting to watch
-It was technically sound with no blown spots which is a lot to be said for WWE
-Hardy actually was in a match with a wrestler that wasn’t Mercury or Helms
THE BAD
-The match seemed pretty one-sided for most of the match being that Kennedy owned Hardy for most of the time and then lost in 2 to 3 moves.
OVERALL RATING: GOOD
After the break Kennedy is backstage talking about how losing doesn’t effect him at all and that he will win money in the bank. Then he says bank again, How much funnier would things be if you repeated the last word of every sentence…………………..sentence.
MVP makes his way to the ring. His entrance still makes me laugh its like an entire football team is coming to ring, felonies and all. He then introduces his opponent El Grande Latte, which resembles an albino El Santo, kinda like Gringo.
MVP VS EL GRANDE LATTE
Mvp wins the match with the Overdrive, or at least that’s what the SvR 2007 game calls it. This match was pretty much pointless. I’d say it was MVP showing everyone his arsenal, but there was like only six moves in the match. If that’s your entire arsenal you might as well continue to wrestle albino jobbers.
THE GOOD
- Um…..I finally got to see the overdrive on TV to see if the move actually looks any good
THE BAD
-pointless
-pointless
-pointless
OVERALL RATING: BAD
After the match MVP reminds everyone that it has been seven days since he asked for a shot at the US title, and he hasn’t heard back from Teddy Long. Dude I wouldn’t be asking Teddy Long for anything. The quickest way for a heel to get beaten is to ask Teddy Long for any kind of match. Speaking of Teddy Long he comes out and continues to hate on the heels. He announces a match for Wrestlemania, MVP vs. Chris Benoit, who waists no time by running to the ring and attacking MVP. A brawl ensues until Benoit tries to get the crossface on and MVP bolts out of the ring like Barry Bonds out of a drug testing lab.
After the match Kendrick and London get to come out, but only after Ashley so that she can remind everyone that she’s naked in a magazine somewhere. Then the Brand split is yet again proved to be going Ludicrous speed as MNM comes to the ring. You know after a certain amount of this, one would have to look at the whole brand split thing and wonder” Does Vince McMahon watch his own shows,” cause how the hell could he shit on continuity so much and then ask everyone to still believe that a brand split actually still exists.
KENDRICK AND LONDON fet. ASHLEY VS. MNM(mixed tag match)
MNM wins the match by giving the snapshot to London. There is one word that describes this match, FORMULA. this match followed the WWE tag team match formula to a tee. Kendrick and London had some good spots but the formula took me out of this match quite a bit. You know the formula, match starts out normal the heel tag team isolates one of the wrestlers from the other team. That happens for a while until the hot tag and that wrestler comes in and cleans up until the heel team pulls a move out and steals the match.
THE GOOD
- Kendrick and London can put on a good match, and this match had some pretty interesting spots.
-Everyone in this match(except the women who I have chosen to disregard because they really didn’t affect anything) is pretty athletic so there were not many slow parts to the match
THE BAD
-The formula is killing me. It totally took me out of the match.
-Ashley and Melina were just thrown into the mix to build steam for Wrestlemania but it ended up hurting the match overall.
OVERALL RATING: BAD
After the break King Booker is backstage complaining about wrestling the Undertaker tonight when Finlay comes in looking for Hornswaggle. Booker asks Finlay for some advice when facing Undertaker, who tells Booker to RUN. Finlay leaves and Booker follows. Then Hornswaggle comes and tells Sharmel to kiss him because he’s Irish. He then proves that he is actually Irish by drinking Lager from an actual pint, you can’t get more Irish then that, p.s. pints are big when you’re a little guy.
WWE then spends the entire break pumping the Battle of the Billionaires match. I can not believe that this match is the most hyped for Wrestlemania. Under it all this is just a match between Lashley and Umaga.
I fucking hate Vince McMahon. He feels that he is the biggest thing about his show. I don’t care about this match. I don’t care so much that I feel like I need to say that again. I DON’T FUCKING CARE ABOUT THIS MATCH.
Back to the actual show and someone I don’t care about almost as much as Vince McMahon comes out, Kane. This has to be leading to what is probably going to be the worst match at this years Wrestlemania, Kane vs. The Great Khali. Kane seems to be coming out to fight Daivari. I didn’t think I would ever say this but GO Daivari.
KANE VS DAVAIRI
Its hard for me to even comment on this match. Mainly because it wasn’t really a match. It was Kane beating up on Daivari the whole time, until he grabs a hook with a chain on it and drags Daivari backstage. Kane must be trying to make a sequel to his movie, it’s going to be called I See No Evil In What You Did Last Summer. Kane then drags Daivari into a room filled with red light. I don’t know what he plans on doing to him in their but the last person he took in that room was Lita and he impregnated her. So this whole thing could get really interesting. Daivari could become mother to Kane’s middle eastern quasi devil baby, I have to stop and wonder what that would look like.
THE GOOD
-Nothing
THE BAD
-Kane
OVERALL RATING: SUCK
And right before the break Blahtista starts to come out to the ring. We get Blahtista twice in one night. Was I bad, did I do something to deserve this. Maybe it was when I made the comment about Kane and Daivari’s baby…….ok maybe I do deserve this.
It turns out that Batista is just doing guest commentary for the match between King Booker and The Undertaker. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Blahtista doesn’t stay at the commentator table the whole match
KING BOOKER VS THE UNDERTAKER
The is ruled a disqualification when Finlay runs in and hits The Undertaker with his rock on a stick. The match was pretty solid for a heavyweight match on Smackdown. Booker and Taker are showing their age but are able to get around it with descent ring presence. Blahtista on commentary is mind-numbing though. I haven’t heard someone this uninteresting since…….well The Miz and Batista from earlier.
THE GOOD
-The match flowed well considering that these guys aren’t the fastest wrestlers anymore.
- The match strayed from Taker’s formula by a bit, not much but still enough for me to notice.
- The match seemed to also have good psychology to it which made it more interesting
THE BAD
-I would have liked to see a clean finish for either wrestler but since it’s leading up to mania WWE doesn’t really allow clean finishes in main events, come to think of it they really don’t allow clean finishes in main events anytime
-Batista on commentary was ridiculously horrible and boring, I think the crowd is going to swing towards Taker at mania just because the guy can talk without putting people to sleep
OVERALL RATING: GOOD
After the match Booker and Finlay continue to beat down Taker until Taker turns it around and throws Booker into the ring. As he goes to throw Finlay into the ring he turns and tosses Finlay into Batista sitting at the commentator table. Man I’m beginning to really like The Undertaker. Taker then gets in the ring and chokeslams Booker before leaving the ring and heading backstage.
Overall this show felt very blah. It seems WWE is just coasting to Wrestlemania this year. I would have liked to see a little more happen in a show building up to the biggest pay-per-view of the year.
OVERALL SHOW RATING: Meh.
Well that’s all for this weeks down of smack. Join me next week to see if that whole middle east quasi devil baby thing comes true. Later Fuckies

Well fuckies this weeks Smackdown review is going to be a little different. See my cable is still feeling the effect of the lights out stunner Austin was talking about on ECW. So I was not able to DVR Smackdown to watch it. That being said things this week is going to go a little different. Looks like all I will be able to do is comment on the results of the show. So this should be great fun for us all. Or it could suck much ass, you don’t want to know which one I think it will be.
MATT HARDY VS. KING BOOKER: winner King Booker
This would have been an interesting match to see because Matt Hardy actually wrestled somebody other then Joey Mercury. I’m not exactly sure why it’s King Booker but I guess that’s why I need to watch the show
Apparently after this Blahtista continued to go on about how he wasn’t afraid of the Undertaker. That’s great dude, I really feel good for ya. Now if you would be so kind and shut the fuck up about until Mania that would be super. It seems WWE is trying some new crowd hyping techniques. Put one guy out there who says the same thing over and over in the most boring way possible so the crowd pops for everything else we put in front of them. Sounds like a winner of an idea, thanks WWE.
It also looks like Teddy Long has returned to Smackdown this week. Watch out heels, the man who irrationally persecutes you is on the loose again.
BLAHTISTA VS. KANE: winner Blahtista
Wow, I am so happy I missed this match. If there is one person who could be worse for me to watch in the ring other then Blahtista it’s Kane. This must have been a monumentally craptacular match. If it seems like I have some sort of unexplainable dislike for Kane your wrong. It’s more of a hatred.
Oh and now it appears that the Miz has a talk show. I am feeling better and better that I wasn’t able to watch this show.
MR. KENNEDY VS. CM PUNK: winner Mr. Kennedy
Well we have officially gotten to the first part of the show that I actually would have really liked to have seen. Although it figures that Kennedy finally wins this match.
FINLAY VS. THE UNDERTAKER: winner The Undertaker
Well this seems like that good generic Smackdown match that is just meant to put one party over. That being said, I still would have liked to see it.
Well sorry for the short review this week. My cable has been fixed so everything should be normal next week. Well by normal I mean normal for me. Later fuckies.

Welcome fuckies to the best Smackdown review this week…..on this specific site. I hope you’re in for one titillating review this week because I sure am. If it sounds like I’m a little excitable its because I just got home from work, I’ve got a lot of caffeine running through my veins, and this is my first smackdown review. So lets get on with the down of smack.
It’s the 2nd of March and Smackdown is coming to you taped from San Jose, and lets get ready to Blah….Blahtista that is, wearing something that can only described as the fashion equivalent to a body cast. Blahtista seriously looks like he is going skiing in aspen with the Goodyear guy. We are then treated to another Blahtista promo, which is exactly like every other Blahtista promo. “I’m here to compete, I’m your champion.” This guy is rivaling John madden for pointing out the obvious. Until the even more obvious Undertaker interruption where he points out yet again that at wrestlemania Undertaker is the equivalent of a no armed man’s penis…unbeaten. And after all these years with the Undertaker we actually get to see something we’ve never seen, him actually tending graves, I guess wrestling was his side job all this time. And as we go to break we get Blahtista’s blank look to signify slight trepidation, not to be confused with his blank look signifying excitement, or joy, or any other of his blank looks.
Back from break and King Booker is coming to the announcer booth, where he actually made JBL and Cole kiss his ring as Matt Hardy comes to the ring. Then Mercury comes to the ring looking like Hannibal on queer eye for the metro wrestler
MATT HARDY VS. JOEY MERCURY(money in the bank qualifier)
Matt Hardy wins the match with a twist of fate of the top rope. This match seemed to flow pretty well. The crowd was very pro Hardy. There were some decent spots in the match including the previously mentioned twist of fate which Mercury sold the shit out of, especially considering the current state of his face. These guys seemed to work pretty well together which made the match more interesting.
GOOD:
- the match had some good psychology coming from Hardy and Mercury which made the match enjoyable to watch.
- King Booker on commentary was pretty interesting considering it sounded like Booker had forgotten he was a heel and just decided to put over the match.
- A decent finish to this match which was good considering the past of these two wrestlers.
BAD:
- It was kind of obvious who was going to take this match so it took me out of the match a little.
-We’ve seen these two wrestlers go at it time and time again. Something new would be appreciated. maybe this will be the last time these two meet for a while. HA!
MATCH RATING: GOOD
After the match we are treated to a backstage interview with MVP. He talks about punching his own ticket. I’m surprised Vince lets people do that at work.
After the break we are treated to look back at the ever famous Brawl 4 All where Bart Gunn got the ever loving snot beat out of him by a man named after a side dish. And we also get another lead in by Maryse, which I believe is directly translated to pointless bitch in French. I feel like calling a 1 800 number.
Then Scotty Too Hotty dances out to the ring followed by the waste of flesh Shannon Moore who’s bringing boring back, and Jimmy Wang Yang who were all supposed to laugh at because he’s a redneck Asian who’s name has a word associated with a penis, AH the creative minds in the WWE creative team. Then Helms comes out followed by Daivari and Chavo Guerrero.
SCOTTY NOT HOTTY, SHANNON MOORE, AND JIMMY WANG YANG VS. GREGORY HELMS, DAVAIRI, AND CHAVO GUERRERO
Jimmy Wang Yang gets the win for his team with a moonsault onto Daivari. This match flowed pretty fast which, considering the style of match this is, is a must. There were some pretty good spots for this kind of wrestling on WWE. There doesn’t seem to be much point to this match other then filling the show, but it works.
GOOD:
-The match speed kept up and never really slowed down which is a must for this type of match.
-The spots were well time out and executed which kept the match going.
BAD
- The over of all pointlessness of the match took away from the end result of a fairly entertaining match.
- Cole seemed not to know there was a match going on because he talked about everything else but the actual match. We’ve watched the show we know what’s going on, we don’t need to hear everything over and over.
OVERALL RATING: Good
After the match they recapped Rey Mysterio getting injury owned in his hometown by UUUUUMMMMAAAGGGAAAAAAA last week, sorry that was unnecessary.
After the break Mick Foley pimps his book which is fine by me, At least we get to see Foley in some respect.
Oh goody Vince comes out which can only mean Its time to sell everybody on why they should care about Vince even though nobody does. He then whores himself out more then a self pimping prostitute and then goes on to give himself and UMMMAAAAGGGAAAA verbal felacio (p.s. what the hell does systematically annihilate mean in reference to wrestling is that like ripping somebody’s limbs off every two minutes). And even though it’s Smackdown we get to hear about the battle of the billionaire cocksuckers even though it really doesn’t have much to do with the Smackdown at all. We get to hear about how this match is going to make national headlines. I work at a news station and take it from me this event wont even make it to that entertainment section which is to busy commenting on the sex habits of American Idol contestants. then a recap of why we should care even if we never will. Although I will say that the Lashley cage spot from ECW was pretty cool. Lashley then comes out to prove that the brand split really is meaningless. We have the standard stare down until Lashley’s turns down Vince’s advances and gets a bitch slap. Lashley then gives Vince the silliest angry eyes ever. It looked like a fat horny thirteen year old looking at a porno birthday cake.
Coming back from the break Vince is berating a P.A. when Kennedy interrupts and in a manner that can only be described as a puppy wanting to play fetch asks for a match against Lashley. Vince agrees and then makes it a no holds barred match but only for Kennedy. Lashley has to abide by the normal rules.
Back at ringside Ashley runs out while her boobs remain motionless. Jillian then comes out and sings in a manner that can be described as a the sound a duck would make when being put into an iron maiden
ASHLEY VS. JILLIAN
this match is Ashley vs. Jillian nuff said. Ashley wins off an elbow drop. This match is just an excuse to remind us that Ashley is showing her cash and prizes in playboy
GOOD:
-uuhhh……..boobs
Bad
- these two wrestling
OVERALL RATING: Bad
Back from break and Finlay is coming out for his match and the little guy is fucking with JBL. Then Finlay reminds Cole that instead of Bastard the little dudes name is hornswaggle……..right. MVP comes out with his usual, NFL player on steroids and cocaine, antics. then Chris Benoit waists no fucking time getting himself down to the ring.
FINLAY VS. CHRIS BENOIT VS. M.V.P. (money in the bank qualifier)
Finlay wins after nailing Benoit with the…..ok I not even going to try and spell shellalee….ah fuck it rock on a stick, while “hornswaggle” distracts the ref. This match was fairly mat centric. Benoit and Finlay were wrestling pretty stiff while MVP was trying to fit in to the whole style of the match. The matches flow was pretty standard for Finlay and Benoit but it did fall into the triple threat cliché style of two wrestlers working on each other while the other one over sells a minor bump on the outside. The ending was a bit of a let down but its Finlay and I shouldn’t be surprised because he’s heel and that’s what they do.
GOOD:
-Match style was pretty stiff and the overall match flow was pretty smooth
-Benoit and Finlay work pretty well together and MVP did alright fitting in even though he was the odd man out.
BAD
- The match eventually drifted into that old triple threat cliché match style where you never see all three men in the ring at once. There is always two men in the ring and one with his ass glued to the outside.
- The ending wasn ‘t really necessary even though it made sense these guys could put on a clean match but I can’t complain it’s an easy way to explain why the US champ lost.
OVERALL RATING: Good
After the match Cole starts talking about the hall of fame ceremony while mentioning Mr. perfect and Dusty Rhodes. Then a video package runs that explains why Jerry Lawler is being inducted, which is good because I am sure there are a few people out there who would like to know that its not just because he said puppies a lot.
Back from break to the introduction of the ECW world heavy weight title match, which is funny because …. you know that whole brand split thing. But who needs to let a little thing like continuity ruin a storyline. Kennedy comes out to his usual fair which includes getting on the mic and touting himself the future winner of the match. Then Lashley comes out in his usual style. I don’t know about you but I’m starting to think that Brock Lesnar Shaved himself and rubbed shoe polish all over his body because I don’t think you can get more like Lesnar without being him.
BLACK LESNAR VS. MR. KENNEDY ( ECW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH, on smackdown go figure)
Lashley wins with a powerslam on Kennedy. This match was extremely onesided in Kennedy’s favor for pretty much all of the match except for the end when Lashley decided not to sell anymore. The no holds barred stipulation basically added nothing to this match. I am sick of Kennedy losing matches on one move after owning his opponent the whole match. This match resulted in nothing happening which is the norm I guess but it’s still honey roasted bullshit.
GOOD
-Kennedy pretty much showed almost his entire repertoire, which was pretty good if your into Kennedy.
BAD
-The no holds barred stipulation was pointless and just another way to put over Lashley without him having to do any work
-Kennedy owned Lashley the whole match which made the ending a little hard to swallow.
-Lashley didn’t really look like he belonged at all in the match.
OVERALL RATING: Bad
OVERALL SHOW RATING:
Instead of the two point system I use for the matches I am going to use a three point system for the overall grade of the show. The ratings will be Good, Bad, and Meh which denotes indifference.
This show had decent matches but the overall focus of the show seemed to be pretty much money in the bank which kind of overwhelmed anything else going on. And I still don’t get the idea of Lashley coming to Smackdown to get slapped by Vince and have his title put on the line in a pure fuck Lashley style match.
Overall I would have to give this show a solid Meh.
Well until next time, I’m The Boss saying peace bitches.
