WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/6/09 Review
The Undertaker started the show with a “dead man” speech. I’m sick of the Undertaker already. I liked it better when he didn’t say a whole lot. The Undertaker states the obvious and he just isn’t as scary.
Chris Jericho came out to talk smack at the Undertaker and cut that random “I’m not scared” promo.
Dolph Ziggler & The Hart Dynasty defeated John Morrison & Cryme Tyme
This match was actually not half bad. Seriously, this match had a lot of things going for it. It mainly had the fast paced feel that a six man tag should have, and it had a lot of quick tags, fast moves, and good overall timing. Ziggler and Morrison aren’t the only ones that can really go in the ring. The Hart Dynasty and Cryme Tyme added a good amount of “flavor” to the match, giving an overall good time. The finish came when Ziggler tagged in blindly and got the pinfall victory. Ziggler is one upping John Morrison, maybe he’s next in line for an intercontinental title reign, and in my view, a little over due.
Rey Mysterio gave some weak interview, it bored me.
Beth Phoenix defeated Brittany Carter
Beth Phoenix squashed another no name woman jobber. I’m not sure why the WWE feels they need to reestablish Beth Phoenix as an unstoppable monster in the women’s division. It just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. She beat the jobber, and that was that. Maybe Brittany Carter will go to tna now.
Drew McIntyre defeated Jimmy Wang Yang
What the heck? Jimmy Wang Yang is still employed too? First Jamie Noble and now Jimmy Wang Yang? What the heck! Jimmy Wang Yang got very little offense in, and it was all over. Drew wins again and Jimmy Wang Yang is on his way out, he just has to be.
Rey Mysterio defeated Mike Knox
Mike Knox beat up Rey Mysterio for most of this match. Seriously, he really pushed the limits on what kind of a beating he could get. It’s an interesting thing overall, because Mike Knox looked like he was winning this thing clean, with the heaviest handed offense I’ve seen in a long time…then it all collapsed. It collapsed and I was frustrated. It’s one thing to have John Cena be superman, but Rey Mysterio is still this super little man? So lame. So lame. This bored me, sorry, I’ve seen way too much Rey Mysterio for one life time.
R Truth defeated Cm Punk
This match really reminded me how slow Cm Punk’s offense has gotten. He has some explosive flurries, but he’s really put on this slow motion, methodical offensive style instead of his fast paced indie style that he used to have while champion and while on ecw. Truth was getting worked for a good part of this match, and Punk really did try to wear him down, but Truth kept pushing and eventually got most of his fast paced moves. Punk started yelling at the referee again, and Truth rolled up Punk for the fast count and the win.
Matt Hardy defeated Batista via disqualification
You know that WWE is odd when the main event features a fat Matt Hardy. Come on, he’s not in his prime right now, and I’m not sure why I can’t get behind a super “tights” wearing Matt Hardy. It was one thing to see him annihilate Edge for screwing Lita…even if it was a work, but this is ridiculous. He’s just not someone I can et behind, even if he’s fighting a very mad Batista. That all being said, Matt Hardy did put up a fight and didn’t just let Batista get the fast win. Hardy put up a lot of defense, and went through some hard hits. Hardy’s short leg drop to Batista’s knee was the highlight for me, he should’ve started the match with that, ala Bret Hart. Hardy’s weight definitely showed when he went or the failed Moonsault…but he managed to hit the Twist of Fate! I liked this match, it was really getting good towards the end, or maybe I was just waking up.
Batista snapped nd got himself disqualified by beating Hardy to within an inch of his life. Oh well.
Smackdown was ok, I’m not really too keen on anything going on right now on either major wwe show. I just don’t care right now. I’m going through the motions, it’s true, it just seems too old to me. I’ll get back into a groove, I’m sure.

Oh and don't forget the new Batista Dvd out now!
So I guess you wouldn't be interested in highlights from a 2002 IWA MS match between maskless Rey, blond CM Punk and Eddie Guerrero with some really sweet spots and multiman moves.
ReplyDeleteTo me, the problem isn't that they are making Rey Mysterio superman... it is that they keep booking him to face the giants. I'd love to see him wrestle more normal sized guys in technical/high flying battles like he did with Chris Jericho. That is what I want out of wrestling... faster paced stuff with surprising reversals and such... not feats of strength and endurance, and they have the guys on the roster to do that, but they keep going to slow and strong.
And I can't really get behind Drew McIntyre... he's sort of boring.
I sort of feel sorry for Beth Phoenix... she deserves a little better than squashing local competitors, especially since she makes a better femiheel than anyone else on the roster (and unlike McCool, she actually seems to have mike skills).
you are right there is no regular matches for Rey. Nut there sure was in wca and lucha libre. Remember Rey cd Jericho at sold out 98? now that's an instant classic
ReplyDeleteBeth Phoenix is not doing all that well...but I've heard she doesn't really care.
I'm sure things will change if tna really does shake things up competion wise
I've seen that one but that was seven years back
Well, Phoenix lived through Glamarella after all, so I think she is probably able to take things with a grain of salt.
