Ricardo Rodriguez doing a spoof of Zeb and Swagger's "We The People"

I'M SOLD, oh and Del Rio/Dolph

Definitely have to tune in to see the spoof video, should be good. Also looking forward to seeing what they do with Ryback and Henry leading into WM. Nice to see Yoshi Tatsu still has a job.

Not happy with Sandow jobbing again and I hate the fact that the MITB holder faced the World champion again. Why put those two against each other, you are trying to build up a surprise cash-in and yet you just keep giving the match away and even worse you make the MITB holder look inferior again.

 

[Franco]

Ziggler taps again, 2nd time this week? Terrible way to build your MITB holder.
The only intriguing thing seems to be the Ricardo spoof video.

If you can ever get tired of Sheamus and Big Show beating the hell of each other, you just don't like brawls in wrestling period. These two always go full force at one another every time they get the chance. They had another solid brawl before well it was interrupted.

It was a decent show overall from my point of view. However, I thought the Zeb/Swagger spoof could have been done a bit better, Ricardo and Del Rio harped way too much on one thing and I didn't really find it that funny.

Amazing...

So Fandango said he's going to debut but didn't, again?

Backstage segment with Big Show. He blames Randy Orton and Sheamus for getting attacked by The Shield after RAW.

Sheamus and Big Show wrestled in the main event until The Shield interfered for a beatdown. Randy Orton made the save but The Shield beat him down too. Eventually The Shield were sent out of the ring and into the crowd. Big Show knocked out Sheamus but caught a RKO from Orton to end the show.

Show/Orton/Sheamus business is confusing, maybe this is the setup to Orton's heel turn, but I wouldn't be shocked if nothing happened, rumors of him turning heel have been floating around for a while now, with nothing happening.

Backstage segment with Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow. Cody asks Sandow what he thinks of Kaitlyn. Sandow says she comes from an inferior gene pool but isn't bad.

Del Rio/Ziggler and Show/Sheamus/Shield/Orton should be good.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

FAN-DAN-GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! wants his name pronounced correctly before he debuts. He berates Lillian on this show.
