I don't even remember what happened on the show, but the rating is predictable, almost the same as the previous week.

I did notice lots of squashes on the show... not good. Kane vs Sheamus was missing someone who can carry a match, Christian vs Ziggler was good.

Christian and Ziggler seemed to be holding back, but they sure as hell put on a good show. Sheamus and Kane was just... I didn't care. We've seen plenty of Kane matches against big men over the years, and they're all the same. Sheamus can't possibly be any more stale right now.
As for the squash matches:
Khali vs Del Rio: 3:29
Clay vs Bateman: 1:09
Sin Cara vs Mcintyre: 3:16
Ryback vs Jobbers: 1:46
Cesaro vs Uso: 0:59
Christian vs Dolph 10:47
Sheamus vs Kane 13:42
Hence the hate for Smackdown right now.
Five squashes and two true matches on one show? And one of the true matches was bad? I remember it now. They need to start putting the "squashers" in storylines to make them mean something, promote the talents and have a more entertaining show.
