[Rated R Superstar]

Yes! Claudio! That is the greatest thing I have seen on Smackdown! I'm so happy about this right now. I recently watched a shit ton of ROH shows, and I cannot wait to see him perform.

 

[Andrew]

Cesaro v. Kidd is the only thing I am looking forward to this week.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Rhodes jobbing to Khali really annoys the hell out of me. Smackdown looks alright but man I miss the good old Smackdown days. I remember a time when they had Jericho, Edge, Punk, Mysterio, Undertaker, Morrison, Kane, McIntyre and Truth all on the same show. That was by far some of the great shows that I used to cover and they would blow Raw away with show quality.

I'm looking forward to Orton-Cole interview because I can see that being totally awkward and funny. I don't get what in the world Jinder Mahal thinks he's doing but that's that. Also of course a D-Bryan promo as he continues his run as best performer of 2012.

 

[Troy]

I actually think that it looks like a decent show, there are quite a few things there that I want to see.

Del Rio's push is interesting since he is basically keeping himself in the World title and IC title scene. I would prefer him to face Sheamus after Extreme Rules rather than Big Show.

I am enjoying the Damien Sandow character so look forward to how he progresses this week.

Young and O'Neill winning again is good for the division to have a team that wins regularly. Random tag team in Yoshi Tatisu and Ezekiel.

Jinder Mahal attacking Orton is weird. You should always aim high but that was never going to be believable.

Really looking forward to Cesaro wrestling his first WWE match and they picked a good opponent for him.

Mainevent should be good as Henry has been on a really good run in recent times.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Sandow and Cesaro are the reasons i'm watching SD this week

 

[Crippler]

I'll be watching but non of the matches look interesting apart from Sheamus/Henry.

 

[The Cork]

I'll catch Ryback on Youtube.

 

[Defiant]

I've never seen Castagnoli in action so I'll try watching SD this week.

 

[TheGoldStandard]

I'm still trying to people to go to Smackdown with me next Tuesday. Hopefully, I'm able to go and I'll post what I see.

 

[Heisenberg]

Doesn't look like a very interesting show but I will watch the Bryan promo, ADRs match with Show and Cesaro v Kidd.

Why the fuck is Cody losing to Khali?

 

[The New F'n Show]

I'm still trying to people to go to Smackdown with me next Tuesday. Hopefully, I'm able to go and I'll post what I see.

If I didn't work till 8 I'd go but just can't.

* Daniel Bryan opened the show cutting a promo. He talked about getting rid of A.J. and his guest referee job on Raw. Alberto Del Rio interrupted and said he would be the next World champion after Extreme Rules. Big Show interrupted and cleared both men from the ring. He then chokeslammed Ricardo Rodriguez.

Why did Big Show just randomly appear and clear them both out? I know he has been somewhat involved in matches with Del Rio lately, but his main feud is Cody Rhodes. Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio aren't Cody Rhodes.

* Alberto Del Rio beat IC champion Big Show in a non-title match. Del Rio won via Cody Rhodes outside interference.

Didn't this exact thing happen last week or the week before?

* Damien Sandow talked on-screen about the age of enlightenment.

Hopefully this guy makes his debut the first Smackdown after Extreme Rules. It's been, what, four promos now? I'm sure that's enough. I'll watch for this considering I didn't see last weeks.

* New Divas champion Nikki Bella beat Alicia Fox after Twin Magic.

Nothing special here. At least Nikki Bella wins a match as Diva's Champion. Surely she won't be champ after Extreme Rules or even Raw.

* Darren Young & Titus O’Neil beat Yoshi Tatsu & Ezekiel Jackson.

What a really wierd tag team. 2/2 for Young & O'Neil.

* Michael Cole interviewed Randy Orton about his rivalry with Kane ahead of Extreme Rules. Jinder Mahal then interfered and ate an RKO.

Why the fuck would they have Jinder Mahal interfere? That sounds so stupid and makes no sense whatsoever.

* Antonio Cesaro (Claudio Castagnoli) beat Tyson Kidd in a try-out match.

I'll be watching for this as I'm very keen to see what Cesaro can do. Never watched a match of his before.

* The same Brock Lesnar hype video from Raw aired.

I've seen this four times. It was shown two or three times on Raw, so I'm already over it.

* Great Khali beat Cody Rhodes.

No interference? What the fuck's the deal here?

* Ryback beat local wrestler Jacob Kaye in another squash match.

Just what we've seen the past few weeks. Still gonna watch for it.

* They recapped A.J. attacking Natalya last week after D-Bryan dumped her.

I didn't watch the AJ attacking of Natalya, so I might check this out to see how ridiculous it probably was.

* World Hvt. champion Sheamus beat Mark Henry in a non-title match.

Not surprised by the result, just surprised that Daniel Bryan gets cleared from the ring at the start of the show and that's it. Surely he should've appeared in some way for this match.



By the sounds of it there was some really dumb booking. Frankly this is Smackdown nowadays. There are good parts but then they're overshadowed by all the bad parts.
