BRM Reviews the 4/27/2012 Smackdown *spoilers*
Posted: Apr 27th, '12, 13:52
OPENING SEGMENT- GREAT… until Big Show decided to ruin it with his special brand “comedy” which was so funny that it made me want to go watch something else.
THE BIG SHOW vs. ALBERTO DEL RIO- DUD!
A short match with a disappointing finish, which results in Cody Rhodes losing all of his heat. Because it’s a good idea to take all of the heat off of your heel two days before a PPV. Right.
JOHNNY ACE, EVE TORRES, & TEDDY LONG BACKSTAGE- snore.
DAMIEN SANDOW PROMO- HELL YEAH!
NIKKI BELLA(c) (w/Brie Bella) vs. ALICIA FOX- 2/10
DARREN YOUNG & TITUS O’NEIL BACKSTAGE WITH YOSHI TATSU- amusing
TEDDY LONG, JOHNNY ACE, AKSANA, & EVE TORRES BACKSTAGE- good segment.
YOSHI TATSU & EZEKIEL JACKSON vs. DARREN YOUNG & TITUS O’NEIL- squash
MICHAEL COLE INTERVIEWS RANDY ORTON- good segment, but if I were booking this, I would have had Randy punt Mahal in the head after the RKO and build the match at Extreme Rules about Randy trying to hit Kane with the punt.
TYSON KIDD vs. ANTONIO CESARO (w/Aksana)- good squash
CODY RHODES vs. THE GREAT KHALI- DUD!
Horrible booking, once again making Cody look bad.
THE TAG TEAM CHAMPS & ABRAHAM WASHINGTON- good segment
RYBACK vs. JACOB KAY- Jacob Kay’s promo was actually pretty good, and he sold very well, too. WWE should sign him.
MATT STRIKER INTERVIEWS AJ- good segment. It’s about time they involved Kaitlyn.
SHEAMUS vs. MARK HENRY- 6.25/10
Not good enough for a main event.
Overall, a bad episode of Smackdown, especially in the ring.
