WWE Friday Night Smackdown 6/12/09 Review
The show opened up with CM Punk and the new world championship in his hands. He got on the mic and was greeted with a chorus of boos and yeahs…it was mixed. Jeff Hardy came down and he was the face of the night cause people were all for Hardy not punk. Of course Edge came out and started yelling at each other. Hardy fought off Edge, then hit Punk with the Swanton and a Twist of Fate! The crowd went nuts.
You know why I hate these segments?
Because no MATTER WHAT the champion is still the champion; Punk is still champion regardless of Hardy & Edge talking trash. Whatever….
Out came Theodore Long to fix things.
Dolph Ziggler defeated The Great Khali by countout
What in the world? Ziggler put on quite the match here, and he took some nice bumps for Khali too. What in the world is going on with the world where Khali is having half way decent matches with the likes of Dolph Ziggler? This match was not half bad, and I do believe that Ziggler is improving, since he can carry Khali to a watchable match up. I didn’t even mind that it was a countout after the dust was settled. Ziggler impressed me, which is hard to do, so hello…my name is Dolph Ziggler…isn’t bad.
Michelle McCool & Layla defeated Eva Torres and Melina
This match was interesting, because Michelle McCool was on fire. She was working stiff, and she was really showing the other women that she wasn’t a diva, and that she was actually serious about wrestling. This showed throughout, and with the face breaker, it really drove the point home. This was an ok match, a little too quick, but other than that, it was the Michelle McCool match. I kept thinking, man Undertaker is nailing that? Lucky dude.
John Morrison & R Truth defeated Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin
This match had Morrison looking like the new all star, with R Truth playing second fiddle to Morrison’s faster, harder style. Truth had some great moments, and The Moonlight Drive plus Starship Pain made this match look like a million bucks and really pushed Truth and Morrison above jobber status. Speaking of jobbers, Benjamin and Haas have to be some very expensive jobbers, because they aren’t doing much but losing to whomever needs to get a rub to the higher levels of wrestling. That Starship Pain, wow, talk about timing. It makes RVD’s split leg moonsault look like child’s play, seriously.
C.M. Punk defeated Chris Jericho
These two put together a nice match up. I don’t agree with the champion being on before the main event. However, it’s ok afterall, this match was given a little bit more time than usual matches, and these two were great overall. Highlight for me was Punk missing the clothesline and then getting hit with the Lionsault, a nice exchange. Punk kept kicking Jericho and eventually got the GTS for the win on Jericho. This match was four stars folks, I liked it a lot; it could’ve ran further, but it was a good one for Punk!
Edge defeated Jeff Hardy via dq when Cm Punk interfered
I feel that the WWE keeps throwing rematches down at me, and I have no choice but to accept it. Once again, we see Edge and Jeff Hardy wrestle. I’m sick and tired of these guys wrestling, seriously, give me something new; oh well, these two put on a show for those of us that didn’t get the ppv this past weekend. Hardy, despite favoring his side, still managed to pull off some nice near falls with a ddt, and with some high flying offensive moves. Hardy seemed like he had this thing in the bag, but Edge managed to get to the outside, followed by Hardy.
Edge threw Hardy into C.M Punk at ringside, so He ran in and attacked Edge! This caused a DQ and then Hardy ra in and started fighting Punk, then fighting Edge, and this thing turned into a melee! The last man standing after all was done was CM PUNK! Kid looked strong, and I liked it a lot.
Raw notes**
Christian vs. Dreamer for the ECW title was announced
Edge vs. CM Punk vs. Edge for the World Title was announced
hey man nice post. I to am tired of the rematches and the same people winning the title. That is why I like CM Punk as the Champion and I hope he keeps it for a while. Some thoughts thought. First of all R-truth and Morrison would be a great tag team if you ask me and second I think Shelton Benjermen needs to be used better. Also I disagree with your thoughts on the Ziggler and Khali match it was a very awful and unintresting match.
