WWE Friday Night Smackdown 3/20/09 Review and Results 500th Episode

Triple H showed up on Smackdown and said that Triple H and Stephanie are married in real life. He then rants on Randy Orton, blah blah blah.

Triple H defeated Kozlov

They must be trying to make Kozlov look more human or something because Triple H started this match like the key to defeating Kozlov was easy. Triple H quickly took control and was in good strides as we left for commercial break. After the break Triple H had things going in his direction, at least for a short moment, as Kozlov started to dominate with his heavy handed style. This match was looking like another easy Kozlov win, but Triple H turned things around yet again and he hit the Pedigree for the three count and the win.

MVP defeated Shelton Benjamin for the U.S Championship

This match wasn’t given a lot of time to develop, yet it was adequate for what little time it was indeed given. MVP hit his finisher in this average match for the title. Shelton is a good wrestler, but he just couldn’t manage a four star match up in this one. MVP did ok, but overall this match wasn’t all that great.

Shawn Michaels defeated Kane

When’s the last time the WWE called Kane the Undertaker’s brother? It’s been a while since they’ve acknowledged their own story lines in this manner. However, this time around Shawn Michaels was wrestling the Undertaker’s brother, not just Kane not just the Big Red Machine, they kept swinging it over to the fact that HBK has to wrestle the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. That notion annoyed me, especially since I knew what was going to happen in this match. Kane was dominating this match up early on, focusing on heavy hits to bring the showstopper down to his knees and not get back up for the super kick. I didn’t really get into this match because lately HBK has not been performing like he used to. He’s just a clone of Hulk Hogan, getting beat for a good amount of the match up, only to come back with a miraculous win with his finishing move. This was no different, it looked like Kane was going to hit the big chokeslam, but as Kane was chasing down HBK, the super kick made things equal, and HBK dropped the big man for the three count.

Jeff Hardy defeated The Brian Kendrick

This match took a turn for the extreme at times, but it wasn’t very extreme at all. Once again, the WWE has buried The Kendrick yet again. He used to be an up and coming star on Smackdown and now he’s just jobbing to Jeff Hardy. This was an interesting match up, but overall it was just too fast. I liked it, which was weird since nothing developed and Hardy just killed Kendrick.

The Undertaker defeated JBL

The WWE buries their recently crowned Intercontinental Champion by getting beat by the dead man. The match was interesting, nothing that is going to be remember for a long time, but the two wrestlers put on a show for the live crowd. It had a few moments where you thought that they weren’t calling it in, but they were doing just that. The Undertaker hit his spots, JBL hit his finisher, but it wasn’t enough to end it. The Undertaker won this match with his triangle choke and it was all over. It was an ok match, but it wasn’t that memorable, it was just boring to me.

The final part of th is match was lame. Big Show called out Edge, Vickie said she was in love with both guys.John Cena came out and yelled at Big Show and Edge. Seriously, this ending sucked. Great 500th episode! Stupid. Another stupid Smackdown ending
