WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/18/09 Review
Teddy Long opened up the show and out came Batista. Batista demanded a title shot, and Teddy Long looked legit scared. Rey Mysterio came out, and he demanded a rematch with Batista and the winner will win the #1 contender spot.
C.M. Punk, Luke Gallows, and Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison, Matt Hardy & R Truth
I feel like every time I tune into wwe programming, it’s the same style matches, to the components and finishes. I feel like I’ve already seen this match, and it’s no wonder, these guys have all faced each other last week. But again, we have to see it again, and what are you going to do? There’s nothing else to watch, is there? Oh and this is a wwe blog afterall.
The Gospel of Luke, as Striker said, was a great play by play call. I thought that was classic. This match really gave John Morrison a hard time, he was trying to find his way back to tag in one of his partners, but it was Luke Gallows and Punk that softened him up, before tagging in Drew McIntyre to clean the bones of a obviously struggling John Morrison. Cm Punk did some good tandem moves with Gallows to really create a good overall middle point of this match. I for once, was actually impressed with CM Punk’s move set, as he doesn’t usually throw up a lot of greatness on television. It’s a good fit for Gallows, as the strong man and Punk as the high flyer, which is really just shades of the original Hart Foundation. Morrison finally got a tag in, and Hardy was in there going for broke on Punk with a sick set of combinations, straight to the nearfall. Gallows threw in the Slammy Award and Punk used it to get the fall, off of Hardy. Overall, this match started slow and really tested my patience, but it picked up in the middle, and then Punk made this thing a good match up, and I enjoyed it. Punk wins again.
Dx’s constant pandering for people to buy their crap is making nautious…I mean who begs for money by having people buy stuff from their…..uh…nevermind.
Escobar is a broke ass Razor Ramon, face it.
Kane defeated Escobar
Escobar got a little gift from Vickie Guerrero, it was a match with Kane. This match was fast, it was all Kane, as he beat up Escobar and then dropped him on his neck for a big choke slam. Escobar can’t possibly be WWE’s idea of bringing up new talent.
Now, I complained yesterday about how TNA had roughly no wrestling in an hour, well, for reference, the end of this match up came at around the 50 minute mark of Smackdown. So it’s not like WWE is doing THAT much more wrestling within an hour of their 2 hour show on Friday nights. What wrestling fans need is more wrestling and less talk. Even if some of the matches are squashes, we need that “kayfabe” ideology to come back.
Chris Jericho came out and cut the standard Jericho promo. His character is getting a little stale to me. I kind of miss that old Lionheart guy from ECW and WCW. Now he’s just running his mouth too much. I guess it works on some level.
The Great Khali defeated Chris Jericho via count out
Chris Jericho was not getting much offense in on the giant here in the early goings of this one. Khali towers over Jericho by a ton! Jericho’s moves were no match most of the time, even though Khali was a little slower than Jericho. Jericho decided to walk away after a while, since he couldn’t do anything to beat the giant.
The Hart Dynasty defeated Jimmy Wang Yang & Slam Master J
Jimmy Wang Yang is still employed? Slam Master J is still employed? What is going on?
The Hart Dynasty is one of the worst flops of WWE history. They shouldn’t even use the Hart name right now. Despite my dislike for the way the team’s been going, I did find this match somewhat entertaining. Slam Master J and Jimmy Wang Yang were proving to be a little more difficult than you’d think. DH Smith actually looked strong for once, and Natalya was finally doing a good job outside the ring. The Hart’s hit their finisher, and this thing was done. I didn’t hate this match, but it’s sad to see that there’s not more competition and teams in the WWE tag team division, if you can even call it that.
Beth Phoenix defeated Maria
Maria is simply outclassed by Beth Phoenix in regards to pro-wrestling. Phoenix was in control for the most part of this match and when she hit the Glam Slam this thing was done. Maria, for being diva of the year, really is terrible at wrestling. Phoenix has little to no competition in the women’s division of WWE, face it.
Rey Mysterio Jr. defeated Batista to become the #1 contender
Batista immediately caught Rey Mysterio with strength, catching Mysterio in mid air and throwing him emphatically into the turnbuckles, like a rag doll. This match was mostly Rey Mysterio, with no remorse or let down. Mysterio was getting pummeled in a crazy way. Mysterio did manage to come back, if only momentarily at times, with some quick reversals and counters. Mysterio had some very near falls after his ddt, and a top rope senton, causing Batista to run out of steam. Batista definitely was growing tired as the match went on, and it was obvious he couldn’t keep up with Rey Mysterio towards the end of the match up. After the 619, the mighty Batista seemed done, as he fell like a gain tree in the forest, but still managed to get the knees up to hit Mysterio as he fell from the top rope. Batista started to get frustrated near the end of the match, and right when I thought this was over, Batista was rolled up fast and got pinned!
In a shocker, Mysterio defeated Batista and now Rey Mysterio will face The Undertaker for the WORLD TITLE! On Christmas, it is MYSTERIO vs UNDERTAKER WORLD TITLE! I’m excited! But something tells me it’s not going to stay that way.
Smackdown had some good matches. I didn’t really care for the talking, or the backstage stupidity. But overall I didn’t have a hard time watching Smackdown, like I did watching Tna Impact this week.
Next week is Christmas. I will be reviewing Smackdown the day after Christmas, as I usually do on this blog. The reason why I don’t live blog the shows is because my wife works early mornings and I don’t try to stay up too late. Plus, since I have no job right now I just wait for the next day to enjoy wrestling. That’s right, I’m still broke and have no job. That’s also the reason why there’s little to no ppv reviews this second half of the year.
There will be no TNA next week, it’s being preempted, I think. I’m most likely NOT going to review the TNA year end “best of” show. But will be back for their January 4th show. I’ll be reviewing Tribute to the Troops tonight, and then be back for another edition of Monday Night Raw.
One last time today, if you have extra money please visit our amazon links and buy something online. Each sale gets me 4% and it doesn’t cost you anything. If not, that’s fine. Smackdown has definitely been the better show all year, and this one actually had a good finish.Seriously, I didn't really think Mysterio was going to get the title shot for Christmas. I still think that WWE might change that match into either a triple threat, or Mysterio is going to "mysteriously" be knocked out in the backstage area. So we'll see what the WWE does with all that.

WWE Smackdown 12/11/09 Results and Review Hanukkah Night
WWE Smackdown 12/11/09 Results
Cm Punk & Luke Gallows defeated R. Truth & Matt Hardy
Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeated Eric Escobar
Kane defeated Mike Knox
Mickie James & Maria defeated Michelle McCool & Layla
Batista defeated Rey Mysterio in a street fight
WWE Smackdown 12/11/09 Review
I’m still in high spirits, last night I celebrated my first official Hanukkah with my in-laws and after cleaning up playing with a top, I’m on a gold coin chocolate high. So it’s only fitting that we review and rant about none other than WWE Smackdown!
Batista is first to come out of the back, and his new shirt looks pretty cool. He cut a promo basically saying that he’s going to be dominant against Undertaker and Mysterio and not only that, he is only in it for the money. A good overall heel promo, with little to no major mistakes, and you can almost feel that he’s sincerely being a badass.
Cm Punk & Luke Gallows defeated R. Truth & Matt Hardy
The straightedge superstar and Luke Gallows finally got a shot at wrestling together as a team, and there was no signs of “festus” anywhere to be found. Matt Hardy and R Truth came out rapping and Hardy came out with a bag of Jeff Hardy dvd’s and Hardy was throwing them out to the crowd. Not just 1 or 2, he had a full gym bag full of dvd’s! The crowd was going nuts for Truth and Hardy and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone go over so well in a long time, seriously, Truth and Hardy were insanely over, at least for their introduction, better than anyone I’ve seen in a long time. Truth and Punk started the match, and Punk was reeling as we went to the commercial break. I thought for sure that when we came back from commercial break we would get a 180 with Punk getting the upper hand, and that wasn’t necessarily true. Not until a few minutes after the break as Gallows got tagged in. I like Gallows style now, a little better than I liked him as Festus. This match broke down into a melee at one point, but it was Hardy and Punk that were left as legal men after the dust settled. Gallows got the blind tag as Hardy delivered a Twist of Fate, and Gallows got in and hit the Gallows Pole, I think, and this match was done. Punk and Gallows win this one, in a pretty good tag team encounter.
One thing I can not stand is the backstage crap the WWE does. Kane walking? Kane and Knox talking about how they are monsters, no thanks.
Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeated Eric Escobar
Why in the world is Eric Escobar trying to be Razor Ramon? It makes no sense. He is a poor man’s Razor Ramon; or to quote my old coworker Cosby: Escobar is a Broke Ass Razor Ramon.
Chris Jericho and Escobar were putting on a one star match until Vickie Guerrero interrupted and demanded this match be a handicap match. Jericho and Show basically bulldozed Escobar, and one has to wonder when this broke ass Razor Ramon is going to get fired.
Drew McIntyre cut a promo…it bored me. But John Morrison came out dressed as Mel Gibson in Brave Heart, and broke the boredom. It was a great one, hilarious!
Kane defeated Mike Knox
Stryker makes a sick joke about David Carradine, and this match goes on. The two big men of the WWE go at it, in another slow moving slug fest. This match wasn’t that great at all. Kane wins, but after a lot of yawning on my end, that’s for sure.
Mickie James & Maria defeated Michelle McCool & Layla
Mickie James has gotten fat, admit it….alright, I’ll stop.
The main problem with the divas division is that the matches are so short, and when they are given time the divas suck at making good matches. This was a terrible match, if you could call it a match. Mickie James got the win for her team, but it wasn’t anything that could be quantified into a match, it was just a fast cluster of an attempt at entertainment. The divas division sucks, face it.
Batista defeated Rey Mysterio in a street fight
I remember when street fights had wrestlers coming out in jeans and t-shirts and taped fists. Now, apparently it means that you wrestle in all your regular wrestling gear. I liked the old days, when the Nasty Boys would come out with just street clothes, and would knock the crap out of people. Oh well, those days are long gone.
This match wasn’t half bad, but it wasn’t exactly the finest hour for either man. Mysterio eventually got out of Batista’s slow moving moves and eventually hit all his spots, and it looked like Batista was going to lose this one, just because he couldn’t keep up with the speed of Mysterio. However, Batista managed to escape the onslaught and eventually got his bearings hit Mysterio not only with his finishers but a huge chair shot to the head. Batista pinned Rey Mysterio after a massive head shot that was heard around the world, I’m sure.
Post match, The Undertaker appeared and bat down Batista with a flurry of punches and kicks.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/4/09 Results and Review More Crap To Review
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/4/09 Results
R. Truth defeated CM Punk via disqualification
Kane defeated Mike Knox
Mickie James defeated Natalya and Beth Phoenix in a triple threat match
Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison (non title match)
The Hart Dynasty defeated Escobar
Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeated Cryme Tyme
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 12/4/09 Review
The show started with CM Punk and Luke Gallows coming to the ring. I knew what was coming, but my eye hurt, so I didn’t write it down right away.
R. Truth defeated CM Punk via disqualification
CM Punk and R Truth could put a good match together, and prove to be good overall. However, this match wasn’t even close to being good at all. It was obviously headed towards a disqualification finish, and when Gallows interfered that’s exactly what we got. I like Punk with a bodyguard, and this mean streak keeps growing. I don’t dislike it, I just feel that we could use more clean finishes in wrestling. I mean, what is this? TNA? Geez.
And now ladies and gentleman, the big man slow match…what is this the 1980’s?
Kane defeated Mike Knox
I hate big man matches. I think it’s because I’ve seen them too many times. Sure they guys can move, but I’m not a fan of either right now. Kane has slowed down since his days as Isaac Yankem and Mike Knox hasn’t been relevant for a long time it seems. Kane essentially put away Mike Knox, and it’s time to fire him. Knox sucks now. Kane sucks too. This match was standard, but it ended with a good choke slam.
Jericho and Big Show backstage with Josh had the longest, and I do mean longest, promo I’ve seen in a long time. This thing was long, longer than anything in recent years. This was a main throwback to the 80’s, and if you saw it, you know what I’m talking about.
Mickie James defeated Natalya and Beth Phoenix
Best part about this triple threat match? A sick double clothesline between Phoenix and Natalya! Picture perfect, and just sick. These three are the best wrestlers in the divas division, and wow, they put on a few good shots in there. Mickie James edged out a victory after some time, and near falls. So now, Mickie James is the #1 contender.
Mickie James went nuts and started to fight McCool and Layla at ringside, and out of the back came Maria to help her out.
Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison
Drew finally gets a shot at some serious competition, and he didn’t disappoint, and neither did Morrison. Morrison didn’t just back down, he went right at Drew, and Drew was keeping up quite well, making some good reversals and catching up with Morrison’s offense. Seriously, Drew had Morrison well scouted, and was putting his boots to him better than some other contenders, including Ziggler! On the outside at one point, Drew pulled Morrison’s head into the bars underneath the ring and this caused the champion to lose the match. Drew pinned Morrison, and he’ll most likely get a shot at the title.
Escobar is channeling the “Razor Ramon” character, vest and all. Vickie Guerrero came out and cut a huge promo, and Escobar appears to be a fan favorite now? This is lame. Whatever, I’m too tired to write more about this b.s.
The Hart Dynasty defeated Escobar
Escobar had to wrestle both members of the Hart Dynasty, and early on he had this thing rolled up. He was showcasing some good offense, and clean moves, but Tyson Kidd wasn’t going to just sit down as he tagged in the big man DH Smith and Escobar was not doing well with the numbers game. The Hart Attack was hit and Escobar is done. Looks like Escobar is going to be wished his future endeavors.
Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeated Cryme Tyme
This match was fast, and while Jericho was obviously the weak link of the tag team champions, Cryme Tyme was getting some good offense in. However, Shad walked into a huge right hand and was knocked out. Big Show and Jericho win with somewhat ease.
The Undertaker was coming down to the ring, but Batista interrupted him with a chair and just attacked with no mercy. He was trying to soften up taker for their match at TLC.
And that was the end of the show. Smackdown was ok at best.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/27/09 Results and Review
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/27/09 Results
The Hart Dynasty defeated Cryme Tyme
Matt Hardy defeated CM Punk via disqualification
Batista defeated Kane in a #1 Contender’s Match via countout
John Morrison defeated Escobar
Undertaker defeated Chris Jericho via disqualification
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/27/09 Review
I’m sick. The holidays really took a lot out of me. Well, just my idiot brother in law and his mouthing off. I ran away on a skateboard in 30 degree weather. But I’m back in action here on my special wwe site. I still have no job, no one buys anything from the links below, and no one wants to hire me….lame.
The show started with Chris Jericho talking smack. He was irate about not getting a title shot. He would get a shot at none other than, the Undertaker later tonight. It would be a non title match. Jericho is gold on the mic.
The Hart Dynasty defeated Cryme Tyme
This match was actually not half bad. I’ve seen it so many other times before, but this time it seemed faster, well oiled, and good overall. It might have been the coffee I was drinking, but I was hoping for another Cyme Tyme win. The Hart Dynasty was pushing forward and really put on a good show for the crowd, and millions at home. DH Smith looks a lot more comfortable in ring than he has in the past, and the team might have a bright future, if they continue to get more competition. However, we’ll have to wait and see.
Backstage John Morrison and Escobar had a little meeting with Teddy Long and Vicky. It was a good interchange, but it was Morrison that shown through. Escobar and Vicky makes me sick…seriously sick.
CM Punk came out with a new bodyguard, and he started on the mic talking smack about purity and what not. He would wrestle Matt Hardy tonight, or should I say Fat Hardy. Oh by the way, Luke Gallows (the bodyguard) is Festus! Yep.
Matt Hardy defeated CM Punk via disqualification
This match wasn’t half bad. Hardy was actually pushing the match a little more than usual, and Punk was taking some major offense. However, after the commercial, it was the new guy Luke Gallows that would cost Punk the match. Gallows hit Hardy and then began pummeling him, costing Punk the match.
Cm Punk and Gallows continued to mess up Hardy after the match.
We had a few promo’s happen here, and a few different commercials, but we’re back in action.
Batista defeated Kane in a #1 Contender’s Match via countout
This was a longer match than I thought it would be. Batista was definitely getting worked in this match, but Kane seemed tired at times and was relying on heavy moves to try and make an impact against Batista. Batista wasn’t winning this one easily, as he was getting hit hard at times. Kane played up a knee injury, and Batista spent most of the time trying to gain one step ahead. It finally came when Kane missed a top rope move, and Batista hit the spear. Kane wasn’t going to just go down without a fight, and he was still in this. The match started getting good with lots of cool near falls, and neither man getting the upper hand. Batista out smarted Kane in this match by getting Kane counted out. Not a terrible match, but I would like to see someone get pinned. The wwe has been doing a lot of countouts, and disqualifications lately, not sure why, but it works to get the right foot forward, I guess.
John Morrison defeated Escobar
Escobar didn’t even put up much of a fight against the stellar champion, John Morrison. Morrison took out Escobar without barely busting a sweat. Morrison needs more competition, and it’s not guys like Escobar.
Post match Vickie yelled at Escobar and said she was done with him.
The WWE couldn’t resist giving the American fans a rematch of their over seas main event, and here we saw it again, Jericho and The Undertaker fighting again.
Undertaker defeated Chris Jericho via disqualification
Jericho had to with stand The Undertaker’s initial onslaught, before the commercial, to get through the match and it was insane. Undertaker seemed to want to put this match away within minutes of the bell ringing, and he had a good overall control. Batista was at ringside, supposed to be doing commentary, and at one point got punked out by Undertaker. However, Jericho jumped ahead and started fighting Jericho with the distraction caused by Batista. Jericho looked like a man possessed, trying his hardest to fight off the dead man at every turn, and it looked good. Jericho almost seemed like he could top the champion. However, Undertaker started turning things around again but was interrupted by Batista, getting Jericho disqualified. Jericho took a cheap shot and hit the Codebreaker, and Batista came in with a chair and started to mop up taker overall.
Post match, Batista kept hitting Taker with a chair. And the commentary was stupid, they kept saying, “I’ve never seen the undertaker dismantled like this”. Really? Man, the announcers have such short memories.
Smackdown wasn’t half bad, I liked it for the most part. It had it’s moments.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11/27/09 Review
I’m sick. The holidays really took a lot out of me. Well, just my idiot brother in law and his mouthing off. I ran away on a skateboard in 30 degree weather. But I’m back in action here on my special wwe site. I still have no job, no one buys anything from the links below, and no one wants to hire me….lame.
The show started with Chris Jericho talking smack. He was irate about not getting a title shot. He would get a shot at none other than, the Undertaker later tonight. It would be a non title match. Jericho is gold on the mic.
The Hart Dynasty defeated Cryme Tyme
This match was actually not half bad. I’ve seen it so many other times before, but this time it seemed faster, well oiled, and good overall. It might have been the coffee I was drinking, but I was hoping for another Cyme Tyme win. The Hart Dynasty was pushing forward and really put on a good show for the crowd, and millions at home. DH Smith looks a lot more comfortable in ring than he has in the past, and the team might have a bright future, if they continue to get more competition. However, we’ll have to wait and see.
Backstage John Morrison and Escobar had a little meeting with Teddy Long and Vicky. It was a good interchange, but it was Morrison that shown through. Escobar and Vicky makes me sick…seriously sick.
CM Punk came out with a new bodyguard, and he started on the mic talking smack about purity and what not. He would wrestle Matt Hardy tonight, or should I say Fat Hardy. Oh by the way, Luke Gallows (the bodyguard) is Festus! Yep.
Matt Hardy defeated CM Punk via disqualification
This match wasn’t half bad. Hardy was actually pushing the match a little more than usual, and Punk was taking some major offense. However, after the commercial, it was the new guy Luke Gallows that would cost Punk the match. Gallows hit Hardy and then began pummeling him, costing Punk the match.
Cm Punk and Gallows continued to mess up Hardy after the match.
We had a few promo’s happen here, and a few different commercials, but we’re back in action.
Batista defeated Kane in a #1 Contender’s Match via countout
This was a longer match than I thought it would be. Batista was definitely getting worked in this match, but Kane seemed tired at times and was relying on heavy moves to try and make an impact against Batista. Batista wasn’t winning this one easily, as he was getting hit hard at times. Kane played up a knee injury, and Batista spent most of the time trying to gain one step ahead. It finally came when Kane missed a top rope move, and Batista hit the spear. Kane wasn’t going to just go down without a fight, and he was still in this. The match started getting good with lots of cool near falls, and neither man getting the upper hand. Batista out smarted Kane in this match by getting Kane counted out. Not a terrible match, but I would like to see someone get pinned. The wwe has been doing a lot of countouts, and disqualifications lately, not sure why, but it works to get the right foot forward, I guess.
John Morrison defeated Escobar
Escobar didn’t even put up much of a fight against the stellar champion, John Morrison. Morrison took out Escobar without barely busting a sweat. Morrison needs more competition, and it’s not guys like Escobar.
Post match Vickie yelled at Escobar and said she was done with him.
The WWE couldn’t resist giving the American fans a rematch of their over seas main event, and here we saw it again, Jericho and The Undertaker fighting again.
Undertaker defeated Chris Jericho via disqualification
Jericho had to with stand The Undertaker’s initial onslaught, before the commercial, to get through the match and it was insane. Undertaker seemed to want to put this match away within minutes of the bell ringing, and he had a good overall control. Batista was at ringside, supposed to be doing commentary, and at one point got punked out by Undertaker. However, Jericho jumped ahead and started fighting Jericho with the distraction caused by Batista. Jericho looked like a man possessed, trying his hardest to fight off the dead man at every turn, and it looked good. Jericho almost seemed like he could top the champion. However, Undertaker started turning things around again but was interrupted by Batista, getting Jericho disqualified. Jericho took a cheap shot and hit the Codebreaker, and Batista came in with a chair and started to mop up taker overall.
Post match, Batista kept hitting Taker with a chair. And the commentary was stupid, they kept saying, “I’ve never seen the undertaker dismantled like this”. Really? Man, the announcers have such short memories.
Smackdown wasn’t half bad, I liked it for the most part. It had it’s moments.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/30/09 Results and Review Halloween Show
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/30/09 Results
Dolph Ziggler defeated John Morrison via countout
Beth Phoenix defeated Jenny Brooks
Matt Hardy defeated Escobar
Drew McIntyre vs Finlay no contest
CM Punk defeated Scott Armstrong
Chris Jericho defeated Kane
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/30/09 Review
Todd Grisham and Matt Striker are the ringside announcers now, since Jim Ross is not feeling so hot lately.
Teddy Long started the show talking about how Smackdown was great at Bragging Rights, and then recapping the events that transpired between Batista and Rey Mysterio. Teddy Long started talking about how great the Smackdown brand was, then Chris Jericho came out to talk about random crap. Teddy Long took the trophy away from Jericho, and the night continued with Jericho complaining about how he doesn’t have a title shot.
This prompted Kane to show up. After a near melee, Teddy Long created a match to see who would join the Big Show and Undertaker for the title. Kane and Jericho will square off later tonight and the Survivor series match is going to be a triple threat match, just like the Raw main event will be.
Long gone are the days of singles matches for the title? Am I watching TNA? I’m confused.
Dolph Ziggler defeated John Morrison via countout
This match started fast, off rails and going forward to becoming match of the night. Morrison and Ziggler are definitely the future of this company, even though John Morrison’s ring attire is a bit dated at this point. This match was fast paced, move for move, and these guys put on a great show. I really liked how these two knew each others moves and narrowly missed getting hit by them. The match broke down on the outside, as Ziggler hit a sick move on the announcers table, costing the ten count on John Morrison and winning this match with ease.
Beth Phoenix defeated Jenny Brooks
Beth Phoenix defeated this jobber or sorts. This match was all Beth Phoenix, and it was nice to see her get some good offense in and prove that she can wrestle and is not just a…face of sorts.
Matt Hardy defeated Escobar
Matt Hardy is fat. Escobar is a wannabe latino heat…only he has none of the charisma. WWE buries talent, and uses Matt Hardy and his fat gut to do it. On the other hand, this match had some good moments. Escobar attacking Hardy’s knee was a classic technical wrestler move, however, not following up and letting Matt Hardy steal another win, is not a classic move. Matt Hardy completely buries the new guy, and why not? That’s the traditional way of not getting someone over in the wwe. I don’t mind, the match wasn’t completely terrible. It was a bit shorter than I thought it would be, and probably because Escoobar isn’t ready for the big time.
Rey Mysterio wanted an explanation in ring about what happened. Batista came out and the two shared words. This thing wasn’t as tense as I thought, and it really didn’t look that great to me. However, Batista turning Heel? That’s something I could get behind, but seeing Mysterio in another “little man” vs “big man” feud is a bit much. We need a cruiserweight division, that’s for sure.
On a sidenote, I want to say that Twilight sucks, and I’m already tired of seeing the advertisements for a pg-13 new moon…now if it was rated R and we got some….um…nevermind.
Drew McIntyre vs Finlay no contest
Finlay, the guy who loves to fight, was scheduled to wrestle Drew McIntyre. However, Finlay never really made it as Drew McIntyre attacked him and forced the match to get canceled. It’s ironic really that Finlay gets pwned like this. Oh well. I like how they are building up Drew McIntyre.
The Divas had a costume contest, and it broke into a fight. I’ve been tired of the no talent wwe divas for a long time, but I don’t call the shots, I just review em.
Cm Punk defeated Scott Armstrong
Remember that awesome match in WCW with Brad Armstrong and Dean Malenko? Of course you don’t, but this match reminded me of that. Only because Scott Armstrong comes from a wrestling family and like his other brothers isn’t very famous…until now…well Road Dogg is, but that’s another story. Punk killed Scott Armstrong here, he hit the GTS and really made short work out of Armstrong, for no apparent reason other than Punk couldn’t beat the Undertaker.
Chris Jericho defeated Kane
Kane and Jericho put on an ok match. In fact, this match was a little more than ok, this was the first time I was actually interested in a Kane match. Well, the first time in a long time. The Big Slow machine has been stinking up the arena’s for quite sometime, and I feel he’s on his way out. He’s a tired gimmick and boring to watch. He has some cool moments though, but overall, he’s not that good…unless he’s wrestling Chris Jericho. Jericho was not in control for most of this match as it seemed that every time he would throw a move up, he would get stopped by Kane and couldn’t really capitalize on it. This match really started to slow down but Jericho’s Codebreaker on Kane as Kane came off the top rope, made this something to see. While it didn’t look as good as many other moments that Jericho has done, this spot was done well considering Kane’s size. Jericho wins and is going to Survivor series to wrestle a similar storyline that Raw is doing. Oh well…
Smackdown was ok, nothing too crazy happened and it was entertaining enough to get me through another day of wrestling.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/23/09 Results and Review Taker Punk Three
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/23/09 Results
R Truth, Matt Hardy, Finlay, and The Hart Dynasty defeated Drew McIntyre, Escobar, Dolph Ziggler, JTG
John Morrison defeated Mike Knox
Rey Mysterio and Batista defeated Chris Jericho and Kane
Mickie James defeated Layla
The Undertaker defeated CM Punk
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/23/09 Review
Jim Ross was sick, and we started the show with a recap of Raw. I was half asleep…and my arm hurt because I slept on it wrong.
Chris Jericho was in ring talking about how great his team was etc. Cryme Tyme interrupted Chris Jericho and it wasn’t half bad.
The show moved to having all the Smackdown Team in ring arguing about crap. Jericho and Kane basically forced four out of the seven members into a handicap match that wills tart later on tonight. This show just seemed like filler from the start.
R Truth, Matt Hardy, Finlay, and The Hart Dynasty defeated Drew McIntyre, Escobar, Dolph Ziggler, JTG
This was an odd thrown together match up, but hey, it’s the WWE, what do you expect? This match was your standard tag team fare, with the faces taking control with each major movement. The guys would hit some great shots, and keep the Smackdown hopefuls at bay for the most part. Due to the fact that there were so many personalities in this match up, there just was a lot of things working against the ref, who found it hard to keep control. Finlay hit JTG with a foreign object in the leg, and Matt Hardy hit the twist of fate, winning the match up! They didn’t let this match develop fully, but it had some good high spots, that’s for sure.
John Morrison defeated Mike Knox
This match wasn’t all that great at all. Mike Knox took Morrison to the limits, well, some limits, and after a few moments getting hit with Knox’s power moves, he managed to squirm out a win by hitting Starship Pain and not even breaking sweat! I guess he gets credit for that indeed.
Rey Mysterio and Batista defeated Chris Jericho and Kane
Jericho and Kane isolated Mysterio for a good portion of this match up. The two monster heel’s seemed to know how to really work the crowd too, because with every motion they had people cheering on Mysterio and hoping for a bright spot in the match up. The fans would go crazy when Mysterio opened up a spot for a fall away ddt and nearly tag Batista. However, the big red machine wasn’t done yet and he was pushing for more punishment. The match definitely got good when Batista got the hot tag, and this thing was a powder keg exploding, and even though Mysterio got choke slammed nearly through the mat, Batista was able to spear Kane and get the win for his team.
Mickie James defeated Layla
This match was boring to me. Mickie James was wrestling at half speed, and her opponent wasn’t keeping up at all, at least not in my view. Jerry Lawler said “very impressive” and I wish I was smoking what he was, because this match sucked.
The Undertaker defeated Cm Punk
The Undertaker had the cards stacked against him in this match up, and that made for an intriguing factor. While it was the undertaker that had all the problems against him in this match up, it was CM Punk that had full control over his opponent during the ongoings of this match up. Whenever Undertaker would try to force his will, Punk was right there to counter. This didn’t last too long as The Undertaker would find a way to come back and start giving Punk some sick moves. Snakeeyes, a leg drop and a running clothesline put Punk in a major daze. Punk brought in a chair to the match but Taker was the one that used it, well at least in reversing Punk’s running attack. Undertaker then hit a huge choke slam on the referee, and put his eyes set on Teddy Long! Punk leveled Undertaker with a steel chair and as Teddy Long called for a new referee, Punk put on the Anaconda device, but couldn’t submit Undertaker. Undertaker than slid out and hit the Hell’s Gate submission hold and made Cm Punk tap out! Undertaker retains, regardless of all the odds stacked against him.
Smackdown was ok…if you thought differently leave a comment. Also, make sure you click the Amazon ads and buy something, I still have no job…and am severely broke.

Cryme Tyme defeated The Hart Dynasty
Eric Escobar defeated Matt Hardy
Drew McIntyre defeated R Truth via countout
Rey Mysterio defeated Batista
WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/16/09 Review
Wow, I guess I missed the whole new Smackdown music and intro change. It’s not that great, but who cares? It’s just the intro music after all.
Chris Jericho was made team captain of the Smackdown crew for Bragging Rights. Chris Jericho was ranting and raving about how he’s better than DX and out came The Big Red Machine Kane. He claimed that Jericho was not the real captain, and scared Jericho. Jericho and Kane are now co-captains of sorts. Whatever…I’m not getting Bragging Rights.
Dolph Ziggler defeated Mike Knox and Finlay in a triple threat match
Finlay and Mike Knox opened up the show. I thought Mike Knox got axed a while ago? He’s not that good, but oh well. Oh right, Dolph Ziggler was also in this match as it was a triple threat match. Oh and guess what else? This match already happened a few months ago, so it wasn’t a surprise to me how this match was going. Finlay started the match fighting off Knox to the outside, then focusing on Ziggler with his Celtic offense and fast aggressive hits. Ziggler got control of the match, at least momentarily before Knox got into the fray, but Finlay wasn’t about to let go of any control in this match up, and was back in it. This match was going back and forth for sure, and it was interesting to note that all three men were never fighting one another at the same time, it was always isolated to one on one with the third breaking up the close falls. Knox hit an Electric Chair on Finlay and Ziggler hit an awkward big splash off the top, which was a nice sequence at the mid point of this match up. He couldn’t capitalize as Mike Knox broke up another near fall. The three men would exchange near falls throughout the ongoing points of the match up. Finlay hit Rolling Thunder on both Ziggler and Mike Knox which was the most impressive part of this match up. Finlay brought in his weapon as usual, knocked out Mike Knox but was broken up by Ziggler, and Ziggler got the pinfall! Once again stealing the match as he did a while back in the same exact pairing of guys. Ziggler is now a part of that Smackdown team for Bragging Rights.
Cryme Tyme defeated The Hart Dynasty
Oh man, once again we get this match? I guess this is another way to force viewers to see the same thing, especially since the stipulation is that the winners will get into the Bragging Rights Smackdown team led by Jericho and Kane. I was impressed initially by The Hart Dynasty, but at this point they are just jobbers to me. I don’t see them as a viable tag team at all, and maybe that’s just me, but come on, they haven’t been that good, at least not to get the Hart name. DH Smith had full control of the Big Shad early on, controlling him with rest holds, submissions and offense. JTG got a hot tag and started to clean house. He was hitting fast dropkicks, quick reversals and was actually flying and getting the crowd into this. It looked like he was on his way to winning this thing, but Tyson Kidd was tagged in and barely got away. JTG impressed me with a new finisher, and the win with a pinfall on Tyson Kidd! Like I said, The Hart Dynasty are just jobbers right now.
Vickie Guerrero is back with a new wrestler…I don’t know what’s going on here…this is odd…but here is the new wrestler Eric Escobar.
Eric Escobar defeated Matt Hardy
Matt Hardy is still a little chunky, I’m not sure if you guys out there notice that too. He hasn’t been in shape since returning. Escobar is a new guy, I haven’t seen much out of him, and he was a little green. Hardy was definitely the aggressor, forcing Escobar to learn quickly in ring to survive, and it wasn’t looking good for Escobar’s first major match in WWE. He did have a good flurry of offense, but nothing major. I mean, if clotheslines and hard rights and lefts are major, then maybe I’m reviewing a different show. However, right when I threw in the towel for Escobar, Vickie Guerrero interfered and helped Escobar win the match up! That’s right, he has pinned Matt Hardy and is now a part of the Smackdown team for Bragging rights.
The Miz and John Morrison did a special edition of the dirt sheet that ended with them nearly fighting each other. Insults were thrown, let’s just say that. It was a waste of time really, but those two are clever on the mic, I must admit that.
Drew McIntyre defeated R Truth via countout
Finally, these two are fighting, at least for me to finally get a chance at seeing. These two have been building a good feud, how? By doing things old school. Drew has been assaulting R Truth backstage and in matches and that’s great. I wish things were more like that more often, just random fights backstage. Truth had this match going his way early on, hitting major offense with great power. Once again, Drew continues to impress this time by forcing R Truth to miss the ten count, and lose this match. Drew would attack on the outside and inside, and just looked like a good new comer to the world of Smackdown. He also won a spot on the Smackdown team for Bragging Rights.
Rey Mysterio defeated Batista
Batista and Rey Mysterio had a match here, and it was obvious that Batista did not want to wrestle this match up. Mysterio on the other hand wanted to have a serious match up, and was coming back to any offense that Batista was throwing at him. This match was essentially a stalemate at least in the early goings. As the match went forward, Mysterio isolated Batista’s leg and tried to make this match swing his way. Batiasta was nearly put in the 619 but ducked out of the way, Mysterio just kept moving forward; Batista of course started to ramp up as well. The two friends were playing up that relationship in this match up and nothing crazy was happening, the two just continued to move forward. Batista looked seriously considerate during this match, wanting not to hurt his friend here and pushing forward with power moves, trying to put Rey Mysterio away without killing him overall. This made for a slow match up, with Batista slowing the pace down so that Mysterio couldn’t go all out, and he didn’t have to look like a jerk. This was made ever more evident when he latched onto several rest holds on Mysterio. Mysterio fought it out though and he kept going for faster moves and moments, to no avail. Mysteiro hit the 619 and then went for the Hurricanrana, but was caught by Batista, and while Batista was going for the Batista bomb, Mysterio countered and hit the Hurricanrana after all and scored the pinfall on the big man! Batista argued with the ref claiming that the shoulder was up, and it was to no avail either, Batista just accepted the defeat.
Post match, CM Punk hit Mysterio with the GTS and then ran off!
Not half bad, I didn’t hate this show that’s for sure.

Oh man, once again we get this match? I guess this is another way to force viewers to see the same thing, especially since the stipulation is that the winners will get into the Bragging Rights Smackdown team led by Jericho and Kane. I was impressed initially by The Hart Dynasty, but at this point they are just jobbers to me. I don’t see them as a viable tag team at all, and maybe that’s just me, but come on, they haven’t been that good, at least not to get the Hart name. DH Smith had full control of the Big Shad early on, controlling him with rest holds, submissions and offense. JTG got a hot tag and started to clean house. He was hitting fast dropkicks, quick reversals and was actually flying and getting the crowd into this. It looked like he was on his way to winning this thing, but Tyson Kidd was tagged in and barely got away. JTG impressed me with a new finisher, and the win with a pinfall on Tyson Kidd! Like I said, The Hart Dynasty are just jobbers right now.
Vickie Guerrero is back with a new wrestler…I don’t know what’s going on here…this is odd…but here is the new wrestler Eric Escobar.
Eric Escobar defeated Matt Hardy
Matt Hardy is still a little chunky, I’m not sure if you guys out there notice that too. He hasn’t been in shape since returning. Escobar is a new guy, I haven’t seen much out of him, and he was a little green. Hardy was definitely the aggressor, forcing Escobar to learn quickly in ring to survive, and it wasn’t looking good for Escobar’s first major match in WWE. He did have a good flurry of offense, but nothing major. I mean, if clotheslines and hard rights and lefts are major, then maybe I’m reviewing a different show. However, right when I threw in the towel for Escobar, Vickie Guerrero interfered and helped Escobar win the match up! That’s right, he has pinned Matt Hardy and is now a part of the Smackdown team for Bragging rights.
The Miz and John Morrison did a special edition of the dirt sheet that ended with them nearly fighting each other. Insults were thrown, let’s just say that. It was a waste of time really, but those two are clever on the mic, I must admit that.
Drew McIntyre defeated R Truth via countout
Finally, these two are fighting, at least for me to finally get a chance at seeing. These two have been building a good feud, how? By doing things old school. Drew has been assaulting R Truth backstage and in matches and that’s great. I wish things were more like that more often, just random fights backstage. Truth had this match going his way early on, hitting major offense with great power. Once again, Drew continues to impress this time by forcing R Truth to miss the ten count, and lose this match. Drew would attack on the outside and inside, and just looked like a good new comer to the world of Smackdown. He also won a spot on the Smackdown team for Bragging Rights.
Rey Mysterio defeated Batista
Batista and Rey Mysterio had a match here, and it was obvious that Batista did not want to wrestle this match up. Mysterio on the other hand wanted to have a serious match up, and was coming back to any offense that Batista was throwing at him. This match was essentially a stalemate at least in the early goings. As the match went forward, Mysterio isolated Batista’s leg and tried to make this match swing his way. Batiasta was nearly put in the 619 but ducked out of the way, Mysterio just kept moving forward; Batista of course started to ramp up as well. The two friends were playing up that relationship in this match up and nothing crazy was happening, the two just continued to move forward. Batista looked seriously considerate during this match, wanting not to hurt his friend here and pushing forward with power moves, trying to put Rey Mysterio away without killing him overall. This made for a slow match up, with Batista slowing the pace down so that Mysterio couldn’t go all out, and he didn’t have to look like a jerk. This was made ever more evident when he latched onto several rest holds on Mysterio. Mysterio fought it out though and he kept going for faster moves and moments, to no avail. Mysteiro hit the 619 and then went for the Hurricanrana, but was caught by Batista, and while Batista was going for the Batista bomb, Mysterio countered and hit the Hurricanrana after all and scored the pinfall on the big man! Batista argued with the ref claiming that the shoulder was up, and it was to no avail either, Batista just accepted the defeat.
Post match, CM Punk hit Mysterio with the GTS and then ran off!
Not half bad, I didn’t hate this show that’s for sure.
