SmackDown!
30/4/10
SmackDown! Run-Down.
SmackDown! Off to a great start with Kofi kicking off with Jericho’s final match before heading over to Raw.
This was a great contest between the two and ended with Kofi kicking off Jericho’s head for the win.
This was followed by a Jack Swagger Promo to show how great he apparently is although it’s just to help the fans get behind him or should I say against him.
We now see Chris backstage talking to an off screen person which was obviously the Big Show this was reviled by his fist entering the screen and into Chris’s face, pushing more on this new face (good guy) Big Show we are seeing and the crowd cheered at that sudden whack.
Moving on we just had to know that Chavo was back on SD by him having a little chat to the crowd. This was interrupted by the Big Red Monster Kane as he made his way to the ring, and choke slammed him to the mat. De Ja Vue I hear you say? Well that’s because it was the scene of WM24 when Kane won the ECW title. Kane welcomes back Chavo and then sets off his usual pyro.
After the Ads we have Shad confirm my theory even more by having a little promo about how it is his time.
We then have the final SmackDown! Match of John Morrison against new SD member Cody Rhodes.
Out of interest who else has notice that the logo on Cody’s boots is the Triforce of Hyrule from Zelda?
This is turning out to be a good match and may be proving me wrong when it comes to Cody fazing out. He is showing strong potential in this match which could push him into a good story line.
It was a good back and forth match with close 2 counts and some good reversals. The whole match was impressive with neither of these superstars showing a bad side as they put all they could into it.
Cody nails the Cross Rhodes on Morrison picking up a win. I definitely see him proving me wrong and actually rising and not fazing out. Either way he should be quite interesting,
Straight after we had Jack say about how great he is, yet again….. We don’t care.
After the ads we have Edges final farewell to the SD crowd. He says his good bye and saying that he loves us so obviously still face for now. After this Christian popped down to the ring and a great sight it was seeing these to former tag team partners in the ring together again, Edge even has to stop and say, “Edge & Christian” but this renewed friendship was not to last long.
Christian talks about there historic past, then leads on to say that what Edge said to us, was a load of crap.
Edge say’s he is a 9 time world champion and asks how many world titles Christian has held. Now although he says none we all know he has held world titles in both TNA and NWA.
After pushing it Edge turns on us finally turning back to heel. Christian then moves on to challenge Edge to match right there and then. Edge refuses but then cheap shots Christian and sets up for a spear, it’s reversed and they end up in a slug fest, this ends with a possible kill switch (un prettier) but is reversed.
Christian then leads the crowd into the chant “Na Na Na Naa, Na Na Naa Na, heeeeyyy Gooodbyye!”
After the ads we see Edge being asked about the previous encounter to have Big Show confront him then lay a fist into his face as well.
It looks like Big Show is getting his fans back by leaving hand prints in all the people we don’t like, and he is really laying into them with these hits, they are looking pretty damn real.
Now its time for a toilet break as we have a short Divas tag match between LayCool and Beth and new SD Diva Kelly.
Once again only two of these divas have skill if you ask me, being Beth and McCool but Layla is showing improvement.
Once again we have Jack saying how great he is and…. We STILL don’t care.
After the ads we have Chris Master’s put on a great little skit with his dancing pecks which was so much better than Jack’s promos.
Next up is Mr.Ziggles coming down and saying his proudest moment was putting Horswaggle in a Sleeper; this just seemed like a time killer as it didn’t have relevance to anything.
We then see the “injury” of Matt Hardy from last week, followed with Matt talking about it back stage to be attacked by McIntyre. De Ja Vue I hear you say again? Well that’s because he did it to R-Truth during his opening storyline.
We then see a boring message from JTG saying that he wants gold, this was boring pointless and hard to understand and since he was drafted to Raw why is he talking to SD crowd about it?
Moving on we have CM Punk come out to have one of his great promos showing why he is so good on the mic and why we all hate him. He is cut short by MVP another great microphone user.
The crowd really enjoyed this and seems to be kicking off a possible good storyline.
MVP makes his way to the ring and then hits Punk causing a fight to break out. MVP gets mauled before Rey Mysterio comes to save the day.
After the break we have a Tag match in action between Rey & MVP and the S.E.S.
Once again we see some great wrestling skill and tag moves and a lot of unwanted chest hair.
We have the crowd chanting and getting behind this match and I must say I am impressed by this as the crowds are usually dull making the show dull regardless of what is happening in the ring, so to have a livelier crowd makes a livelier event.
Rey & MVP came out on top but while cheering the mystery man appears to take Rey down.
After this guess what? Jack wants you to know how great he is again. In the words of my mums fiancée F*** off! But he just wasn’t done he just had to come to the ring to tell us more.
Out of interest again did anyone else notice that he was using a replica World Title belt last week before Extreme Rules?
The crowd wanted to be as load and disrespectful to Jack every time he tried to lisp a sentence to us and they succeeded. I have to say this is a very good thing, it shows that he is becoming someone we love to hate, and the crowd would have really loved doing it. And Jack loved it, because it shows that they know who he is.
He seems to be a lot like JBL in some ways coming out and gloating and bragging, he could turn out to be a very good Heel Champion from this.
Jack is finally shut up by Teddy Long who comes out to cheers of the crowd. He announces that the #1 contender the title is the man who has been leaving a hand print in all the heels, the 7ft giant the Big Show.
Show comes down to the ring to help the crowd in the disrespect of Jack.
Some caned heat was used to start a “Knock Him Out” chant and they soon got it as Big Show laid him out in one punch to close the show.
My thoughts of this show are pretty good. I really enjoyed this show it had some good matches and some great promos kicking us into the new stories leading off the draft.
I really like Big Shows punch being a main move, as before it was performed in a sloppy manna but now seems to be done well, with an awesome sound to the impact, but we still need to see this newer version of the move in a match, it could be done sloppy again.
Cody seems to of kicked off well which I didn’t expect but it is a good thing as he is a great in ring competitor and Jack is getting the crowd to hate him which is showing that we are getting a more lively show and a more active crowd.
Let’s just hope that all this hype is from the crowd and not caned heat coming from the speakers all the time.
This was a great end to the week for WWE and I am looking forward to Raw this Monday night.

This is Matty.D signing off.
