BRM Reviews the 3/10/2016 Smackdown

Post by Big Red Machine » Mar 11th, '16, 00:03

Someone in the fourth row is holding up a “Y2AJ” sign. I guess he wasn’t watching Raw.

MIZ TV WITH KEVIN OWENS & SAMI ZAYN- okay
I thought that this (especially with Miz interrupting) was a very poor way introduce non-NXT fans to this feud. A video package would have worked much better. Their promos were great, but the fact that they are doing the first-ever Owens vs. Zayn match on the main roster as anything but a one-on-one match shows how out of touch they are.
Neville showed up and was unhappy with Owens. Miz was angry and exchanged promos with Zayn, then Miz jumped Zayn from behind and we went to commercial, and I guess Teddy Long showed up during the commercial because when we got back from commercial we had a tag team match.

SAMI ZAYN & NEVILLE vs. KEVIN OWENS & THE MIZ- 6.25/10
The whole thing with Owens walking out was so dumb. The Miz doesn’t need to be protected and you don’t need to be building up heat between Owens and Miz because the only person Owens should be wrestling at WrestleMania is Sami Zayn.

GOLDUST & TRUTH IN THE BATHROOM- idiotic.

BRIE BELLA vs. SUMMER RAE- 1/10
Lana has decided to a jerk and sit directly ON the announcers’ table to do commentary, blocking the fans view of the ring.
Listen up, Byron. You can’t just say “we know the things that Brie has gone through” because not every does. If you were a first-time viewer, you would be worse than totally lost after Byron’s statement; you would be made to feel like you are on the outside and everyone else is on the insider. And if you’re not a first time viewer, saying generic crap instead of actually specifying Brie’s hardships and how Lana has added to them or mocked them is just plain old ineffective commentary.
Summer takes a chunk of the match but then Brie made her comeback and made her tap. Lana did the “YES!” chant. Summer tried to jump Brie from behind but Brie saw it coming and kicked her ass (or, more accurately, kneed her face), but then Lana ran in and hit Brie with the Bella Buster… so we’re exactly where we were at the end of their segment on Raw, and nothing has moved forward at all (except that Summer now looks like a loser). Then Lana did the “YES!” chant again.

CHRIS JERICHO PROMO- awesome.
The guy with the Y2AJ sign still hasn’t put it down. Jericho set a Y2AJ shirt on fire. It would be awesome if Jericho went into the crowd and grabbed the sign and set it on fire, too.

LUCHA DRAGONS vs. THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS (Wade Barrett & Sheamus) (w/Rusev)- 6/10
Barrett and Sheamus are getting a tag title shot at Roadblock. This is the first time in a very long time that I can remember WWE promoting heel vs. heel. It would be nice if we could see the Lucha Dragons face someone different. It feels like they’ve been facing the League of Nations in some form on every show for a month and a half now. Ryback was watching the match backstage.
Mauro said “sports-entertainer” instead of “wrestler,” so I guess he got a talking to at some point. Ironically, Mauro’s sentence (“he was inspired to become a sports-entertainer”) is one of those fantastic examples of the problem with banning the word “wrestling.”

JOJO INTERVIEWS RYBACK- fine
If you were going to cut to a Ryback interview right after the match that started with him watching the Lucha Dragons’ celebration, why did you show him watching the monitor earlier? This interview was going to get that info (that Ryback was watching the match) out there anyway, so why stretch kayfabe by randomly cutting to a camera that happens to be in place, watching Ryback watching the match?

RENEE YOUNG INTERVIEWS THE BABYFACE TEAM- The Usos cut a fine promo on the Dudleys. Then Dolph and Dean randomly showed up and Renee asked Dolph about his conversation with Steph. Dolph said nothing interesting. Dean was great.

THE WYATT FAMILY vs. DEAN AMBROSE, DOLPH ZIGGLER, & THE USOS- 7/10
Fun

A good episode of Smackdown. You should definitely go out of your way to see Jericho’s promo.
Also the Social Outcasts didn’t appear, so that was good.

Your grammar is getting worse. All these got dang run-ons and absence of words.

I'm not going to get into detail of exact examples, but more times than not, your longer, drawn out feelings about the things leave me a little mentally tired for a second-because it doesn't allow for a break briefly.

The words thing is simple-a whole lot of times-literally every single time almost: simple words will be left out and the brain attempts to process "what was meant to be said.," That in turn takes away the current enjoyment of it and it causes an unnecessary abrupt stop.
