BRM Reviews the 8/10/2012 Smackdown
Posted: Aug 13th, '12, 23:25
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.
