BRM Reviews the 9/21/2012 Smackdown
Posted: Sep 24th, '12, 06:47
OPENING SEGMENT- I hate this whole thing with Dragon and Kane each claiming to both be the tag team champions on their own. It is just ridiculous. Having anger management problems does not mean that they selfish! The rest of the segment was good, though (aside from Dragon getting annoyed for no reason during the hut-it-out. By the way, MAJOR props are due to Edge. His facial reactions while Kane was hugging him were just PRICELESS!
DAMIEN SANDOW vs. KANE (w/Daniel Bryan)- 3/10
I should be happy that Sandow actually got some sort of win, but this whole “I am the tag team champions!” thing is just so dumb. Why can’t they just be tag partners who don’t like each other without this stupid crap added on?
DRAGON & KANE BACKSTAGE WITH DR. SHELBEY- F*CKING MORONIC! THEY’RE NOT KINDERGARDENERS! And Dragon’s punishment is that he has to wrestle tonight? So they are punishing the professional wrestler by making him do his job? That doesn’t sound like much of a punishment to me.
BOOKER T & ALBERTO DEL RIO BACKSTAGE- HORRIFIC!
So Booker, (supposedly) a babyface, admits that he put someone in an unfair situation… and isn’t willing to fairly rectify it? What a douche!
LAYLA EL vs. NATTIE NEIDHART-DUD! Once again, Nattie gets jobbed out in a three minute match… and the announcers paid absolutely no attention to the damn match. They should have just had an interviewer interview Eve.
RANDY ORTON & SHEAMUS vs. ALBERTO DELRIO & DOLPH ZIGGLER (w/Ricardo Rodriguez & Vickie Guerrero)- 5.5/10
Way too short for the talent involved.
DANIEL BRYAN vs. CODY RHODES- DUD!
1. Everyone saw this coming.
2. It seems like exactly the type of thing that Dr. Shelbey would hate because it perpetuates the cycle of hating each other. Kane is supposed to be the good student.
DRAGON & KANE ARGUE BACKSTAGE AGAIN- why tonight? Why not build the damn match up for a week and just do it next week?
HEATH SLATER vs. BRODUS CLAY (w/the Funkadactyls)- No rating. Decent segment. Yay for Drew being involved with something, but I am weary of Slater’s presence in this stable.
SANTINO MARELLA vs. ANTONIO CESARO (w/Aksana)- DUD!
WTF was the purpose of this? Are they STILL giving us Santino vs. Cesaro? Can we please get some relief from Santino? He doesn’t need to be in the damned title picture all the time. Oh. And then Cesaro dumps her because she cost him one wrestling match? COME ON! It wasn’t even a title match.
WWE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Daniel Bryan & Kane(c) vs. Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow- no rating. Good segment.
It felt a bit goofy, but it definitely worked. I just wished it had happened to slightly lamer heels than Sandow and Cody.
Overall, a bad episode of Smackdown, but an important one for Kane and Dragon
