My Review of this weeks Smackdown. I haven't seen Smackdown in over 4 years
so this'll be an interesting experience. I'm reviewing it completely open
minded.
Just like my TNA reviews, the usual caveats apply I'll call it how I see it.
I may use colourful language or curse or swear. If it's shit, I'll say so. I
won't apologise for not knowing who certain people are that WWE may have
hired in the last 4 years.
I'm in a truly unique position after my review of a recent RAW show, once
I've seen this, as an impartial observer I'll be able to tell all you loyal
WWE fans exactly what kind of condition the WWE is actually in at the moment
and I'll be honest but brutal .
So on with the review:-
Show opens with the Wrestlemania news conference. YAWN!
2 on 1 handicap match - The Big Show vs Joey Ryan & Jay Garland. Obviously
these 2 guys were jobbers, Show taking the predictable win. Rating? 0
Jamie Noble vs Chuck Palumbo - An overly long match, pretty dull really.
Palumbo took the predictable win. Rating? A generous 2.
MVP & Khali vs Batista & Kane - Batista & Kane haven't changed in 4+ yrs, I
don't know either of the other 2 guysl. MVP looks like a cheap Booker T
impression, Khali smells of Giant Gonzalez wannabe. Not a great match, Khali
was very short on moves. Likewise MVP. Batista got the win. Rating? 2
The Miz & John Morrison vs Festus & Jesse - Nobody I know in this one.
Festus got the win. Rating? An overly generous 1
Big Daddy V vs Balls Mahony - Daddy V I remember as both face & heel when he
was part of MOM. Balls I haven't seen work outside of ECW to be honest. This
was actually quite watchable until Undertakers music kicked in. Result? A No
Contest. Rating? 3. Taker then bores us on the mic.
Zack Ryder vs The Undertaker - Taker took the win, very boring match.
Rating? An extremely generous 1.
Well this was certainly a short show, they managed to do video packages of
just about every star they have.
Thoughts on the state of the WWE.
All the matches were utterly awful and had no entertainment value what so
ever.
If this is the best Smackdown has to offer then it's truly died on it's
arse. Rating it against RAW? The Raw show was longer and had the exact same
amount of matches that Smackdown fitted into 45 minutes, 4 matches and 1
aborted match with no finish.
If those 2 shows are typical of what WWE is currently offering as a product
today then Vince needs to look into finding a new avenue to invest his money
in because WWE appears to have quite literally stopped working. It hasn't
progressed in 4 years. All the workers I recognised don't seemed to advanced
as either characters or in actual amount of talent. None of the new guys
impressed me in the slightest and thats really sad as WWE's future lies in
developing its new talent.
