BRM Reviews the 8/10/2012 Smackdown

[Big Red Machine]

OPENING SEGMENT- LOVED IT! BOOKER T MAKES SHEAMUS APOLOGIZE! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Unfortunately, Matthews decides to take up Lawler’s cause of attempting to justify the theft. WWE found a way to rectify all of the damage that the crap from Raw did!

CODY RHODES PROMO- AWESOME!

CODY RHODES vs. SIN CARA- no rating. Great segment.

DRAGON WALKING AROUND BACKSTAGE SAYING “NO!” TO EVERYONE HE SEES- moronic.

WADE BARRETT RETURN PROMO- just as awesome as Monday.

DRAGON, KANE, & AJ SEGMENT- This was just stupid. A horrible, boring segment. WWE has turned Dragon from a main eventer into a joke in a matter of weeks. AJ is magically no longer crazy (although she seems to think that she and Kane are good friends all of a sudden), but she is acting like a jackass, biased heel.

THE KINGS OF CHANGE & BOOKER T BACKSTAGE- eh. Why the hell is Teddy Long on TV? He serves no purpose at all.

JINDER MAHAL PROMO- great

HANDICAP MATCH: Jinder Mahal vs. two jobbers- no rating. GREAT segment!

CHRIS JERICHO’S HI-LIGHT REEL VICKIE GUERRERO- good segment. Y2J IS BACK! I really didn’t like the physical confrontation, though. It wasn’t necessary here. This should have ended with Jericho’s catchphrase (showing us that the old Jericho is back).

PRIMO & EPICO vs. THE PRIME TIME PLAYERS (w/AW)- no rating. Good segment.
Apparently this was a #1 contendership match.

CHRISTIAN vs. ANTONIO CESARO (w/Aksana)- 4.5/10
Awesome, for such a short match. The aftermath was good, but I’m afraid it will lead to Christian costing Cesaro a US Title match, meaning that the belt will stay with Santino.

BOOKER T, EVE, TEDDY LONG, & KAITLYN BACKSTAGE- bad segment. I have an idea: Why don’t the female wrestlers concentrate on their wrestling. And why does Booker need another assistant? Doesn’t he already have Teddy Long?

REY MYSTERIO JR. vs. THE MIZ- 3.75/10
Way too short.

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Sheamus(c) vs. Alberto Del Rio (w/Ricardo Rodriguez)- no rating. Eh segment. I’m confused as to why there was no DQ or anything. It was a good heat segment, but it only works if Del Rio still has his title shot at Summer Slam, too, which they were never clear on.

Overall, a decent episode of Smackdown.

I'm actually LOVING Bryan even more now; after months of abusing AJ and contributing to her insanity, she's now driving HIM crazy. Karma.

And I don't buy any concept that AJ is no longer crazy; did you see what she did after Kane took out Bryan? It was the same thing she did WHEN she was crazy. AND she drastically changes her demeanor WHENEVER ANYONE says anything about ANYTHING being 'crazy.' I'm glad they've scaled it back a bit, but the full blown crazy AJ'll be back soon, I'm sure of it

And is still crazy. Definitely. It HAS to blow up one day. I would love her you start booking nonsense matches with crazy stips

But I do think that was is taking all of dragon's thunder in order to get and over. They already took the yes and gave it to aj
