*SPOILERS* WWE SmackDown Tapings for 2/8/13

[Dale]

* Big Show is shown arriving on his bus. He comes to the ring and cuts a promo, announcing that Alberto Del Rio is suspended. Show blames Booker T for what happened and out he comes. Show vs. Kane is announced.

* Cody Rhodes beat Kofi Kingston.

* The Great Khali defeated Titus O'Neil.

* Mark Henry comes out and destroys Khali to a big pop. Henry announces the Hall of Pain is back open. Henry wants a spot in the Chamber match. Booker comes out and announces Henry vs. Randy Orton.

* Big Show quickly beat Kane.

* Alberto Del Rio is outside in the parking lot and he's taken the wheels off Show's tour bus. Show comes to the parking lot but gets a bunch of paint dropped on top of him from the roof. Del Rio laughs and drives off.

* Jack Swagger squashed Justin Gabriel.

* Tensai beat Drew McIntyre by DQ when 3MB attacked him. Brodus Clay made the save.

* Antonio Cesaro beat Sin Cara.

* Mark Henry defeated Randy Orton to earn a spot in the Elimination Chamber.

I'm weirdly excited for this Tensai face turn and teaming with Brodus Clay :argh: Hopefully Henry vs Orton delivers and the beatdown on Khali rules him out of the chamber.

 

[Andrew]

Not a bad show by the looks of things at all, I am enjoying the ADR/Show feud.

I hope to see Swagger included in the Chamber.

 

[Captain Charisma]

Hmm Swagger is still not in? Maybe they will make a storyline that Swagger won't be in EC then he will be involved in a feud with Booker. Hope that won't happens. Mark vs Orton will be good, I will watch that, no more Orton vs Barrett thankfully. Good for Kofi and Cesaro. Tensai? Oh no. No return of Christian, damn, I slept last night with high hopes but nothing happened.

 

[Nerotheory]

Looks like a better then usual show. Henry back is good and in the chamber hes gonna wreck some people. Tensai teaming with Brodus will hopefully give both something to do. Swagger i think gets in the chamber probably before the actual match.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Smackdown may actually be watchable? Holy crap man! I'm actually kind of looking forward to this show.

 

[Dale]

I know it's something that gets brought up every time a chamber match is made, but i'd like to see Swagger enter by beating down Khali on the night of the PPV. I just think it would be a good thing to do with Swagger's new attitude and you could have him feel disrespected by not being chosen by Booker, so he made a statement taking out Khali.

With that being said, we'll probably just get one guy confirmed on RAW and the final one on SmackDown.

Return of the Hip-hop hippo? I always find it amusing when WWE sticks someone with a lame ass gimmick that would never work and then turn them into comedy figures. I bet Tensai does cry himself to sleep these days.

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Mark Henry being a heel makes every segment of his must watch worthy. I haven't watched Smackdown since Del Rio-Big Show but definitely can't miss Henry destroying people.

 

[The Cork]

Jobber show.

Would prol watch Cesaro/Mexibotch and Mark Henry squashing Khali if they were on raw though.

 

[Prodigy]

Rhodes winning in the show opener and Orton losing in the main event will make a good show for me. Great stuff.

 

[Troy]

Tensai and Brodus as a comedy tag team is something that I never would have picked six months ago. Could work and then maybe they could go in the right direction and turn them into a monster heel team like they both should be.

Great that Henry is in the Chamber just need Swagger to get involved as well. Looks like an alright show.

 

[Dale]

Big Show absolutely nailed that opening promo. It's a shame his ring work rarely ever entertains me because as a character and promo guy he's usually always spot on

Henry fucking bossing it too on the stick. So glad that he's back.

Just put the belts on TENSAI and Brodus already, I wanna see it.

Holy fuck at how fluid and perfect that flippy power bomb Cara did on Cesaro was.

Been a really good Smackdown. Some short but fun matches with Swagger and Cesaro and a decent lengthed Kofi and Cody match. All the promos and segments have been absolutely spot on too

Albert was over as a hip hop hippo. They don't have to be heels jaut develop a mean streak and still be fun loving

 

[The New F'n Show]

Up to the Cesaro-Cara match and I have to say I've enjoyed this show quite a bit.

 

[Troy]

Will only work if he uses the Whale as his finishing move. They can start as faces but I still think that WWE missed an opportunity with both wrestlers as heels. Brodus Clay's promos for his return made him look like an unstoppable beast yet they scratched that before even trying it. With Tensai the limits seemed endless when he beat Cena, with a lot of help. They then completely screwed it up when it should have been simple to book.
