Official Smackdown! discussion thread

Joey speaks the truth, and I'm just glad Smackdown got good at any point since usually a bunch of shit with few decent parts lately.

 

[Crippler]

I was not a fan of this show.

@ Chavo getting buzzed without the alcohol, and DAMN at Big Show knocking the skin off Cody's chest with his chops

 

[SAIYANS]

: @ Layla telling Teddy, "Child Please" & Michelle womaning up and saying "I ... I called u a pig"

 

[Crippler]

the party needed more of the Eagle.

 

[SAIYANS]

Great main event for the IC title

 

[PHX]

Missed Smackdown how was it?

 

[SAIYANS]

- Good main event
- Sick bump by Baretta
- Good divas tag match
- Chavo was the life of the X-mas party

 

[Crippler]

The LMS match was fun.

 

[PHX]

This Smackdown has already been better than some of the past few Smackdown's put together.

 

[SAIYANS]

- K2 into the Faith Breaker counter was sweet
- I laughed when the fans hugged Rey after he lost his 2/3 falls match
- Kane and Edge was good
- Dolph delivered again

It would've been nice if they let ADR get a win that meant something to "end the rivalry," as they said over and over again. That finish screamed "this isn't over yet," so it didn't make sense. And ADR's the kind of heel who can get heat by bragging about how good he is, so he doesn't need to win dirty all the time. Which gets to my point: why have him win the first fall in 90 seconds if he has to win the second with complete bullshit?

 

[SAIYANS]

I thought Rey only lost that fall preemptively. He stopped ADR from hurting him or damaging him by tapping. They have done that in the past during Iron Man matches.

 

[SAL]

Well, ADR got the armbar on, and I didn't see Rey even trying to get out of it. Of course, 10 minutes later, he countered the armbar (was that the first time?).

 

[SAIYANS]

Yeah, Rey tapped right when the first bar was being locked on. He then countered the next attempt when ADR went to try to win the 2nd fall with the move again.
