WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review 4/16/10
Edge and Chris Jericho opened the show arguing about who can beat Swagger and Orton. It was your average opening, and you know? Despite the two guys being good, I’m sick of the repetition in the wwe right now.
Drew McIntyre defeated Kane via disqualification
Kane and Drew McIntyre put on a halfway decent match in this match up. Kane was fighting hard, and Drew managed to get the win after Hardy threw Drew back in the ring. McIntyre was trying to leave and get counted out, but in a bizarre enforcement of the rules, the referee disqualified Kane! This match was decent, but come on, now you’re going to enforce the rules? This makes no sense.
Dolph Ziggler defeated R Truth
This match had Truth looking as good as ever. He was flipping and flopping through Ziggler with relative ease. However, he made a mistake and Ziggler made him pay for it! Ziggler hit the sleeper hold and wouldn’t let go, winning the match! The sleeper hold is back in full effect, which is weird in modern professional wrestling. I can’t believe it, Ziggler wins with the sleeper.
Michelle McCool defeated Mickie James
This was the longest divas match that the WWE has allowed in a long time. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all that good. McCool and James did manage to put on a halfway decent match up, but it wasn’t full of wrestling, it was a lot of resting and running, and then with a quick interference and a kick to the face McCool wins again.
Post match, Beth Phoenix came to save the day, and chased out team LayCool.
The Hart Dynasty & Rey Mysterio defeated Straightedge Society & Darren Young
Darren Young was the highlight of this match, not because of his offense, but because he was getting worked, and was working well with the straightedge society. Other than that, this match was a back and forth affair that was given some good time. I liked it, but it seemed like I have already seen this at a different time. The win came when DH Smith hit the running powerslam on C.M. Punk for the three count. Not a bad match, but not a great one either.
JTG defeated Croft
JTG in singles competition completely bored me. Cryme Tyme had something, but solo? They just aren’t that good in my opinion. JTG and Croft put together a random, and non-eventful match.
Post match, Shad came out and beat up JTG, and that was that. The lowest point of Smackdown had arrived. I don’t care about this feud at all.
Jack Swagger defeated Edge and Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat Title Match
In one of the longest main events on Smackdown, a triple threat match for the World Title was held, and it wasn’t half bad. I don’t believe it was ppv quality, but it was quite good. There were plenty of near falls, finishing moves, and lots of moments where it looked like any of the three would win. Jericho still had his ribs taped, so he was selling the believability of being injured, and let Edge and Swagger do most of the heavy lifting. Edge hit a huge spear towards the end of the match, and I thought this one was over, but nope, Swagger was able to pull Edge out and pin Jericho to retain the world title in one of the best free matches of the year. Swagger wins a hard fought battle, in this exciting triple threat match.
