I ended up going to the SD last night, so i figured i would write a mini review.
When i first got there the first thing i noticed was that the upper deck/ was pretty much all shut down, and this was the smallest crowd i've ever seen at a WWE show. I normally go to their bigger events, but this was still surprising. I'd say about 8,000 fans tops. The show kicked off with Tyler Reks vs. One of the dude busters... Poor match, but Tyler Reks looks a lot like Tyler Black now. I think they would make a good team.
Then NXT, and honestly, the fans were pretty much cringing in their seats. Everyone just wanted SD to start. I think you heard the boo's for Vickie when she came out, I couldn't hear a word she said. It's just a poor show now with the divas. Joke contest, obsactle courses, with really poor wrestling.
Then one match was taped for Superstars. MVP vs. Luke Gallows. Good promo to start the match, the crowd was starting to get into it. MVP and Koffi Kingston were probably the most over guys of the night. Good ending. The match was ok, dragged a bit, but not bad.
NOw time for SD and the crowd wakes up. The peep show set was put up, and the fans knew another Del Rio/Christian promo was coming, and it was good. Del Rio is getting a great response from the crowd, mostly hate, a few cheers. But everyone was either cheering or boo'ing. Good promo to start the show, but not as good as their one 2 weeks ago.
Tag Match with the Hart Foundation vs. MCintyre/Rhodes. Not a bad match, but the hart foundation is soo boring to me. More specifically DH Smith. Decent opening match though.
Next up is Swagger vs. Koffi Kingston. Easily match of the night. Good stuff from these guys, in the 3.25-3.5 range. The match starts off with Swagger dominated with mat wrestling, then Koffi would get his pushes, with his high flying moves. Very solid.
Next up is CM PUnk vs. Christian. Del Rio comes out for commentary, so we all know the ending, As expected Del Rio distracts, CM Punk wins with the go to sleep.
Another Kane/Undertaker promo to end the show.
Overall average smackdown. It was fun, had pretty good seats. I think the WWE needs to take notice now the attendence is down. I saw a lot of parents and kids...which is good, BUT those parents aren't WWE fans. Typically at a wrestlnig event, i see mostly fans, and this show , that was not the case.
