BRM Reviews the 9/21/2012 Smackdown

[Big Red Machine]

OPENING SEGMENT- I hate this whole thing with Dragon and Kane each claiming to both be the tag team champions on their own. It is just ridiculous. Having anger management problems does not mean that they selfish! The rest of the segment was good, though (aside from Dragon getting annoyed for no reason during the hut-it-out. By the way, MAJOR props are due to Edge. His facial reactions while Kane was hugging him were just PRICELESS!

DAMIEN SANDOW vs. KANE (w/Daniel Bryan)- 3/10
I should be happy that Sandow actually got some sort of win, but this whole “I am the tag team champions!” thing is just so dumb. Why can’t they just be tag partners who don’t like each other without this stupid crap added on?

DRAGON & KANE BACKSTAGE WITH DR. SHELBEY- F*CKING MORONIC! THEY’RE NOT KINDERGARDENERS! And Dragon’s punishment is that he has to wrestle tonight? So they are punishing the professional wrestler by making him do his job? That doesn’t sound like much of a punishment to me.

BOOKER T & ALBERTO DEL RIO BACKSTAGE- HORRIFIC!
So Booker, (supposedly) a babyface, admits that he put someone in an unfair situation… and isn’t willing to fairly rectify it? What a douche!

LAYLA EL vs. NATTIE NEIDHART-DUD! Once again, Nattie gets jobbed out in a three minute match… and the announcers paid absolutely no attention to the damn match. They should have just had an interviewer interview Eve.

RANDY ORTON & SHEAMUS vs. ALBERTO DELRIO & DOLPH ZIGGLER (w/Ricardo Rodriguez & Vickie Guerrero)- 5.5/10
Way too short for the talent involved.

DANIEL BRYAN vs. CODY RHODES- DUD!

1. Everyone saw this coming.
2. It seems like exactly the type of thing that Dr. Shelbey would hate because it perpetuates the cycle of hating each other. Kane is supposed to be the good student.

DRAGON & KANE ARGUE BACKSTAGE AGAIN- why tonight? Why not build the damn match up for a week and just do it next week?

HEATH SLATER vs. BRODUS CLAY (w/the Funkadactyls)- No rating. Decent segment. Yay for Drew being involved with something, but I am weary of Slater’s presence in this stable.

SANTINO MARELLA vs. ANTONIO CESARO (w/Aksana)- DUD!
WTF was the purpose of this? Are they STILL giving us Santino vs. Cesaro? Can we please get some relief from Santino? He doesn’t need to be in the damned title picture all the time. Oh. And then Cesaro dumps her because she cost him one wrestling match? COME ON! It wasn’t even a title match.

WWE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Daniel Bryan & Kane(c) vs. Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow- no rating. Good segment.
It felt a bit goofy, but it definitely worked. I just wished it had happened to slightly lamer heels than Sandow and Cody.

Overall, a bad episode of Smackdown, but an important one for Kane and Dragon

[KILLdozer]

Yea I turned it on right as he got out the armbar and pushed him into the RKO,then "There goes the briefcase." ,so at the end of the tag match.

How many times have we seen someone get shoved into an RKO anyways by now?

And once again,Ziggler lost,I can't remember if he was pinned....Wait It just clicked as I was typing this...Since Del Rio got Rkoed...Ziggler was the one that got kicked...So yes Ziggler again loses....Bull....

Yea of course everyone knew Kane would screw em,but the match could have went much much longer....It took no time at all for Dan Bryan to get him on the floor for the No Lock...WTF is that shit? This is a man who busted the hell out of Randy Orton's head and it took him FOREVER to get him finally lined up for the RKO...

But Remember:I'M THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.

Slater and Clay was swell enough,those women with Clay weren't exactly doing the best showing concern for him and worry but I could tell they were so the way they did it was good enough...Not sure what to think of the stable...Almost seems like a less formal,version of the JOB Squad...Wait maybe I'm thinking of RTC or did J.O.B. wear ties and shit too? Yea I'm not sure the only way I can see things going as they're tired of being held back and pushed aside...

Yea IDK about M v AC...I agree are there no other title contenders at all? This guys a comedian there's an infinite plethora of things for him to do ,and yea the way she cost him the match was kinda foolish....Shoulda maybe been some tension but damn...And heel or not,Cesaro was obviously with this woman some good bit of time so WHY wouldn't he be worried about her leg? Anytime Lita was ever hurt Edge was checking on her...Come on just no good.

Yea good progession with the main event ,was hilarious when he gave em the chair,"No,after you,Use this one I insist."

Remember who's the tag team champions,after all.

this show was the rebirth of tag team wrestling. It was all centered around the tag titles.

depends on who you're forced to wrestle. This has been the punishment in wrestling for many many years

Yeah... if you're forced to wrestle a monster. Cody Rhodes does not qualify. I also think that the way that they phrase it is dumb.
