BRM Reviews the 2/21/2014 Smackdown

[Big Red Machine]

DANIEL BRYAN vs. JACK SWAGGER (w/Antonio Cesaro & Zeb Coulter)- 5.25/10
The new Daniel Bryan Che Guevara shirt stinks. I believe Real Americans warm-up jacket says “Boss Hogg.” I can only assume this is intended to be a reference to Dukes of Hazard, but I cannot imagine why.
Dragon’s arm and shoulder were all taped up after his injuries on Raw. Swagger worked over the injured shoulder.
After the match Vickie and Kane came out and announced that Dragon would now face Cesaro right now. This came off like they were just repeating Raw instead of putting any real thought into what they were doing.

DANIEL BRYAN vs. CESARO (w/Zeb Coulter & Jack Swagger)- 6/10
Swagger and Big E. got into a fight backstage during the commercial.
They go for a while with Cesaro going after Dragon’s shoulder, then Kane blatantly interfered, causing a DQ. Dragon was about ot get to his feet after the match, but Cesaro ran into the ring and hit him with a Gotch-style Neutralizer

RENEE YOUNG INTERVIEWS CHRISTIAN- Awesome promo by Christian. He’s officially a heel now.

BRAY WYATT PROMO- awesome

THE WYATT FAMILY vs. REY MYSTERIO JR. & THE RHODES BROTHERS- 6.5/10

SEHAMUS PROMO- good built to the main event.

DANCE-OFF: Summer Rae (w/Fandango) vs. EMMA (w/Santino Marella)- fun, but not close to their NXT stuff.
Emma does the “advanced shopping trolley” and hits Summer Rae with the shopping cart! The heels tried to jump them after but got humiliated. The segment ended with Emma trying to touch Santino’s cobra.

TITUS O’NEIL vs. DOLPH ZIGGLER- no rating, okay segment.
Darren Young was on commentary, and they got some GREAT close-ups of Darren’s face when Titus came out, showing a fantastic combination of determination and barely-restrained anger. Darren steals Titus’ whistle, distracting him, allowing Ziggler to get the roll-up victory. Yup. Dolph won! Hooray!

ROAD DOGG (w/Billy Gunn) vs. JIMMY USO (w/Jey Uso)- 1.25/10
The Usos were kind of oddly hyper during their entrance. More so than usual, I mean. The match was extremely short, but at least the right guy went one.

SHEAMUS vs. CHRISTIAN- 6.75/10

A good Smackdown.
