WWE Smackdown 12/12/08 the one before Armageddon

The show kicks off with Jeff Hardy attacking Triple H! They are brawling and Chavo is sent to stop them from fighting, but Triple H knocks him out and Hardy and Triple H are brawling like crazy, and no one is stopping them, but then the ref’s come in to try and break them up.

R Truth defeated MVP

MVP has really been on someone’s bad side because he hasn’t gotten a break in a long long time. This match went by somewhat slower than I wished, as the crowd was really taken out of this one, but on the flipside, MVP was looking more like a serious wrestler, using wear down holds on R Truth to make sure his offense wasn’t too much. But R Truth managed to win this one with a roll up, proving once again that MVP pissed off the wrong person. MVP got on the mic after the match and that prompted Mr. Kennedy to come out and cut a program, weird.

The Brian Kendrick defeated Primo Colon

This match was interesting, two young guns wrestling because Kendrick and Ezekiel beat the brothers Colon once, and now they caught Kendrick hitting on the twins backstage. Primo is a good fit in this match as he counters Kendrick’s style quite nicely. Kendrick is great as the cocky heel and he play it up so well. Kendrick really took some punishment in this match at the hands of Primo, and things were looking like it was all Primo, but of course Ezekiel couldn’t help but get involved, causing a distraction and a kick later Primo loses to Kendrick. The kid is great, Kendrick wins again!

Hurricane Helms defeated Shelton Benjamin

The U.S Champion Shelton Benjamin really had his hands full with the returning Helms, and I was worried that they were just going to bury Helms now that he’s back. Benjamin really focused on Helm’s neck. A great shot was Benjamin hitting a dropkick while Helms was in mid air! Helms landed on his neck then a short dropkick sent him neck first into the ringside guard rail, and Benjamin continued his attack on the formerly injured neck of Helms. The rest of the match was a comeback attempt by Helms, and after Benjamin missed his jump on to the third rope, Helms hit a very weak cross body block and go the pin! Helms once again wins on wwe television, and he’s doing well since coming back. I like him, I admit it.

The Great Khali defeated Hawkins and Ryder

This was a throwaway handicap match. Ryder and Hawkins basically got killed by Khali, and that’s all I can and will say about this match.

The Bella Twins defeated Maryse & Natalya

I’m a sucker for Maryse, she’s kind of hot. I don’t know what it is about her, but she looks hot to me. So this match got a little more attention than usual. She’s not THAT good of a wrestler and Natalya isn’t that hot to me, but the heel side of this equation was way better than the face’s. The twins basically got beat for the most part, and Maryse did a lot of damage with the camel clutch, meanwhile Natalya landed a lot of power moves. The twins won this match, which was weird, considering they had no offense in this match up. I liked Maryse, that’s about it.

Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy (no contest)

I wasn’t sure who was going to win this match up at all. The match was about as good as you’re going to get from these two. These guys put on a ppv caliber match, which is great considering that Triple H has been known not to work as many dates as some other champions. However, he’s chasing the title, so maybe that’s why he’s wrestling so much on free television. Jeff Hardy is a machine and he was just going through and through with Triple H, Triple H was looking tired towards the end of this match up, but I liked it more than usual. Jeff Hardy hit the Whisper in the Wind, and I thought it was over, but Hardy didn’t get the cover right away, therefore Triple H kicked out and this match was getting really good, the crowd going nuts, and myself really not sure where it was going, until Hardy made a third and final comeback. Hardy then went to the top rope for the Swanton Bomb but there was no way this match was going to end this way, or was it? He missed the Swanton! Then of course we get the wwe throwing out the match by having Edge run in and spear Triple H causing the end of the match; lame.
