Pretty good finish there didn't expect it to end with that move tho.

Booker's reaction to the bag was classic.

 

[StoneCold]

dammit, they crapped all over CM Punks promo. Can't wait to see Vince's reaction on RAW.

 

[HenchmanForHire]

A ton of strong wrestling matches on the show. Can't be mad about that!

My Review-

[Kiffy Lube]

Strong matches? Half the matches booked seem to go against the flow of certain feuds they are trying to build. They should have done better continuing the undercard rivalries since MITB match is probably going to be a bunch of random trash like most of those matches end up being. I think they should have focused more developing stuff for after the PPV, but I guess I did like Dibiase/Bryan for the sprint they put on.

Easily my favorite part of the show though was Mark Henry at the beginning yelling "What does this do? It doesn't do nuttin' anymore" to the sound guy. It just came off so comical.

Smackdown starts for me in 45 minutes. I didn't read the spoilers this week. They taped it last week because of the over seas tour this week. Interesting how it will play out.

 

[PHX]

They are really doing a damn good job at making Mark Henry look like a total beast lately.

 

[The Wrestling Addict]

Smackdown always has some solid matches but it also has a boring promo to kick off every week with Teddy Long coming out and making a match.

 

[PHX]

Glad AJ got called up but they need to add Naomi and Maxine too.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I don't think they are always boring because the talent in their can handle themselves in such a situation it's just the main event planned has already happened 3 times within in like the last month and a half(even though those matches have been pretty good). You can also blame WWE creative, but they have been incredibly busy lately. They were probably just scrapping this episode of SD! together just to get it out there.

 

[PHX]

SD is getting somewhat seeming like it's on repeat on how they book it but that said hasn't at least been bad. Do need to make some more progress though.

Booker backing down from Henry :

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I think it will shake up a bit when the Orton/Christian feud runs it's course, but even that could last another month.

 

[PHX]

With all the contract stuff they added for Christian I think he is gonna win in some screwy kind of way which will make the feud extent so yeah probably at least another month maybe 2.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Yeah, they'll need at least one blow off gimmick match on PPV to end it. Their matches have been good for the most part, though.
