That WSS can't feel good for Henry's knees

Meh, just like RAW last night I thought this was overall a pretty dissapointing show.

I didn't think either show was good but I didn't think either show was horrible either.

Overall show could have been better but good main event there.

I thought the main event was great, Henry does a good job of making someone look like a serious contender.

Wasn't suprised Henry retained, it was too obvious even though I hope D-Bry can become champ ASAP.

Smackdown was fucking awful. Clear Vince has realized that the past few weeks it's been better then Raw so he needed to embarrasses it on national television. Plus I hate any cage match that ends in a fucking pinfall.

It seemed like half the roster was depleted from working the night before.

No surprise with the mainevent result. Henry was always going to retain but it was a nice way to push Bryan on the live Smackdown. Plus Bryan still has his MITB briefcase so he still gets another title shot later down the line. Glad that Bryan looked strong in the match and that it wasn't a burial.

Hornswoggle winning the Battle Royal is ridiculous and now they have him talking :/

Some of the other matches seem a bit random like having Otunga wrestle Orton and Kingston vs. Kidd. Not sure where any of this is going to lead but it does look like we will eventually see Ted DiBiase vs. Jinder Mahal even though both guys have lost so many matches this year.

I wouldn't harp too much, it was supposed to be a joyful experience for a Holiday special. Wrestling seemed secondary even though they had like 5-6 matches in the end.

It is a bit early for the holiday special plus it was a Live Smackdown and not many of them occur each year so I expected a brilliant show to sell the brand to more viewers. Having a joke winner in Hornswoggle is going a bit too far.

I wasn't even bothered by that and neither was Sheamus. You shouldn't be either.

Mick Foley got something he always wanted with the show, I think we should all be happy for that.

Sheamus was playing a character on television. I am sure that backstage the wrestlers would have been scratching their heads as to why a gimmick like Hornswoggle was getting such a big push on an important show.

This isn't Foley's show and whilst I am happy Foley is back I think the goal should be to entertain as many fans as possible and not to cater to one or two people.
