WWE Smackdown Spoilers (10/5/12)

[PHX]

Cena beating him and just ending Nexus all of a sudden surely didn't help. But really he's a case of no where to go but down before going back up again at some point because his first feud was against the biggest star in the company so it was bound to happen.

 

[Deezy]

Was Orton who ended Nexus by himself and a foot.

Cena just took out Barrett.

 

[PHX]

Was talking about the original Nexus not the Punk led version.

 

[Deezy]

Didn't think Nexus was much so my memory is fuzzy when it split into sub factions.

Nexus was a good storyline, that was unfairly compared to the nWo and was nothing more than a stable that was supposed to lead Barrett into the spotlight. He didn't shine in the light and then was left to languish in mediocrity henceforth.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Its hard to look good or stay relevant when your squashed by Cena then kicked out of Nexus, create a lame stable of the Corre then lose your next few feuds and get injured.

 

[Prodigy]

Barrett had a lot of momentum. Again I don't think he's to blame, because what's he supposed to do when he's on a hot streak and cutting killer promos, and WWE don't pull the plug on him winning the big one? Orton is not a good person to face when you're on a hot strak either, because as we all know Orton has a tendancy to kill peoples momentum, whether he means to or not.

 

[Crippler]

The opening promo with Show and Shaemus was fun with show hyping up the WMD just to have Sheamus come out and make fun of him.

fun tag match but we all knew the Piss Time Playaz were gonna win by the way they have been booked.

THE RYBACK match was the usual stuff, i was kinda hoping for a new and more credible challenger for him. He beats the IC champ, they gets the WWE champ to back down just to face Primo. C'MON.

Layla looks damn good in white with blonde in her hair, that's all i saw cause this match got fast forwarded. It's pretty obvious Layla was the one who attacked Kaitlyn.

Wade Barrett's fight club offense is pretty funny to watch. Should not be using a elbow as a finisher tho, clearly trying to screw over Ohno and keep him on NXT.

Miz/Sheamus match was fun, really fun i didn't mind Miz's work here. I was kinda surprised by the DQ finish i was so thinking Sheamus was gonna with but WWE did the right thing and have Show cost Sheamus the match.

Del Rio Impersonation of Ortons entrance had me cracking up, then when he spoke and ruined everything. The tag match was cool it wasn't bad but it wasn't awesome either. It was on that average line. Oh and Bryan doing poses during the match was GOLD.

Show/Albert match was just a normal big man vs. big man match nothing to write about. Sheamus getting his revenge was okay.

Punk/Dolph showing everyone that they are top 3 wrestlers in the world right now, and didn't feel like a heel vs. heel match. Even tho the ending was hot i felt it ended quickly. **3/4 - ***

 

[PHX]

ADR copying Orton was the best thing he's done to date to entertain me, shit was spot on. Sheamus/Show build was simple but worked. Liked them getting each other DQ losses and how the story of Show trying to make Sheamus take the match seriously. . Punk vs Dolph was good and Dolph did the best selling of the GTS I've seen in a while.

 

[Chris]

I thought it was absolutely hilarious the way Sheamus ran in and Brogue Kicked Tensai, don't know why, but I found it so funny. Other than that ADR copying Orton, Friendship, and Punk/Dolph was the only thing I liked about the show. The Sheamus/Show feud is so hard to get into no matter how good the segments are just because you know the match is going to suck hard.

If I remember rightly, he had a big shit eating grin / laughing look on his face, similar to :sheamus2:

I think Big Show needs to do something quite severe if they want to get this storyline going forward. I'd suggest having Big Show go through someone on the roster who is a close ally of Sheamus, but I don't think they exist. Alternatively you could just have Show take out Sheamus through the announce desk or something, but I don't think they'd be willing to do that out of fear of him making him look weak.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

First time ever Del Rio had me legit cracking up. That was awesome although the mic thing wasn't that great but it was good enough. Ricardo yelling SI SI at Bryan was hilarious, Ricardo is the best manager since Flair in terms of WWE managers. Heyman was with Lesnar 01-03 while Flair was around 03-06 with Evolution then HHH so Flair would be the last one that I really loved. Lita was good but she wasn't great compared to Ricardo.

First hour of Smackdown stunk, had to fast forward through most of it. 2nd hour was awesome, three decent to high quality matches. Shocked they did a heel vs heel but how am I supposed to complain about a Ziggler vs Punk match? Thats against the law complaining about a Punk vs Ziggler match.
