Looks like a good show, watching Ryback/Bryan will further prove my point on how silly it would be if he was an actual oponent for Brock.

When did Teddy Long takeover Smackdown? Where was Booker? Booker books the matches.

Shield made to look like bosses, and probs gets the tag belts and Freebird it for awhile.

Looks pretty average outside of the opener and main event.

God this Shield thing is ultra repetitive, same thing every week just draw a different face on the person they're beating up.

It's simple booking, and simple booking wins. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Nobody can stop them, why should they change how they do business? Majority of fans love The Shield or they get heat from the fans who like the faces and hate the heels... they do their job. It's not like a certain someone else................

I love the way you make up your mind before you even see the match. I saw the match, and it didn't prove your point at all. It was a really solid 'big man vs. little man' type of match with Bryan constantly targeting the left leg of Ryback. He stunned Ryback a couple of times and got in a one legged Boston crab at one point (which the crowd absolutely ate up) but Ryback overpowered him in the end. Brock/Bryan would be harder to pull off, but both men are easily good enough put on a believable match.
