Taker did win even with a blooded and bruised nose so he will be heading to F4W.
Allowing Taker to bleed was quite interesting after the fiasco at Over The Limit.
While on the subject of blood some information has come to my attention on WWE’s take on the PG rating and blood use.
Some people in the company blame the new no-blood rule on Linda McMahon running for office and they believe it should be just a phase. Now if you’re like me you’re thinking, “great so it shouldn’t last long.” Uhh well, you’re wrong. One of the reasons for the no-blood rule is to attract a higher class of sponsors. If WWE’s popularity drops then the rule will most probably be lifted but Linder winning or losing the election will not change anything. Dave Meltzer believes that the PG rule will likely be in effect until either the license deal with Mattel runs out, which is years from now, or another company, such as TNA, takes away from WWE’s popularity. So expect to be stuck with it for a long time unless TNA spikes higher.
Of cores if WWE hadn’t made the no-blood rule, or had not decided to aim for kid fans, TNA wouldn’t even be an issue, and wouldn’t be a threat in the slightest. So if TNA spikes and WWE drops WWE will only have them selves to blame. WWE will still be strong if it comes to that though so they should bounce back easily
Wrestlers such as Stone Cold and Chris Jericho want TNA to do well because good competition should improve there show.
Anyway back to SmackDown!
Along side Taker at F4W will be the Champion Jack Swagger, the still #1 contender the Big Show, and the now Masked CM Punk. That’s right; CM Punk reviled him self, wearing, an S.E.S Mexican wrestling mask, in his match against Kane, to qualify for F4W.
I am guessing one of the reasons for this mask is due to the 13 staples stuck in his, as well as to move the story along with Rey. Now at first thought you would think Punk looks like a buffoon but it grew on me quickly.
The match was a good one up till the end where the GTS kind of muffed up, due to Kane being such a heavy load.
We also saw the former Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre team with World Champion Jack Swagger, to face the new Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston and the #1 contender for the World Title, the Big Show.
Before the match Drew produced another letter from Vince McMahon sating that Matt Hardy is now suspended.
Once again this tag match was another great bout which saw Big Show and Kofi pick up the win.
These matches that WWE produce prove that WWE does not need to purposely use blood to intensify a normal match. But when blood becomes visible from an accident, let it bleed unless it’s serious, otherwise you put a huge dent in the matches as trainers and medics jump in, also camera angles are awful as you try to make the blood hidden. This is wrestling, there will be blood, and there will be injuries, so stop trying to hide it to keep the kiddies happy.
If you produce a match with weapons then yes purposely use blood but do not over do it. The blood intensifies the match, also use weapons properly if you are putting them in place.
We saw a very good back stage promo from LayCool, and in my opinion they are the best Divas in WWE at the moment, I just hope they bring in some good opposing Divas for the co champs.
We also saw a pretty stupid match up between the teams of Christian and Hornswoggle vs. Dolph Ziggler and Chavo Guerrero. After that match we had MVP vs. the S.E.S member Luke Gallows which saw the mystery man again.
Overall a good show.
Well that is all for now Matty.D Signing off.
