Blast From the Past Smackdown (but not really)!

Can't wait to see one of these stages! Wait, no? Sad face.

- Who’s ready for a two hour Legends House commercial?!
- An old school Mean Gene promo? SWEET.
- Nevermind; just a Sheamus monologue.
- Big Johnny laying down the law, a $500,000 fine for hitting the ref! Permanent probation!
- Johnny doing Smackdown Teddy Long style: TAG MATCH. D.Bryan & Del Rio vs Sheamus and Mean Gene. Dafuq?

- Cowboy Bob Orton giving Randy a pep talk. His arm is finally healed! Bet his Hep C hasn’t, though.
- I’m glad Mark Henry is getting another push. I get why he was jobbed out while he was hurt, but it was such a fall from grace. He’s been nothing but money for the last year.
- Was Kane really hiding behind a trash can?
- Kane delivered his “A little fun the entire family can enjoy” line very creepy. If he only displayed those acting chops in see no evil…

- Benny Camer ain’t no Barry Stevens.
- I LOVE that they’re giving jobbers promo time before getting killed by Ryback.
- Ryback: Like Pitbull with RVD tights.
- Holy SHIT what a clothesline.
- “FEED ME MORE” is an outstanding catchphrase.

- Heath Slater is on TV AGAIN?! That’s like twice this month!
- Don’t get me wrong, I really want Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel to be a real team. But Kidd/Slater with Jimmy Hart? That excites me.
- You know what makes Smackdown so great? Custom nameplates during entrances.
- I enjoy hearing Mick Foley back on commentary. A Mick Foley/Matt Striker would be outstanding.
- Jimmy Hart: annoying as hell/
- Foley with an Owen Hart quote!
- I like how one of the Usos is getting fat. Finally fulfilling their Samoan heritage.

- Piper’s Pit! D.Bryan! YES! YES! YES!
- So much for the YES chants being dead. DC crowd sucked ass last night.
- 2 out of 3 falls at Extreme Rules for the WORLD! HEAVYWEIGHT! CHAMPIONSHIP!
- Oh my God AJ is beyond adorable.
- Bryan holding his own against Piper on the mic. Nice.

- Khali/Natayla/Alicia Fox vs Drew McIntyre/The Bellas. Really? Natayla’s tits look great, though.

- I’m not sold on Damien Sandow yet. He’s like Sean O’Haire circa 2003 but not as interesting.

- Hacksaw vs Hunico? For real?

- Finally someone to save us! Cody Rhodes!
- A little Dusty on Cody promo action?
- Seems like every time Dusty is on TV, Cody always turns on him. Then they’re ok, then they’re bad again.
- I fail to see how the Dashing Cody Rhodes promo are embarrassing. That gimmick put him on the map!

- There is no reason for Howard Finkel to not have done ring announcing the entire night.
- YESYESYES & SISISI together at last. The crowd should be going crazy.
- Now Ricardo vs Mene Gene is a match I could get into.
- Oh great, all the Legends come to ruin this match. Del Rio high tails it and D.Bryan gets feed a Brogue Kick.

They had an excellent chance to showcase what Smackdown is all about: wrestling. Instead they waste our time with old guys and video packages. Cole did have a great line, “Look! It’s the walking dead!” Smackdown sucked, such a disappointment. The only good things were Ryback and Piper’s Pit. Other than that, no thanks. I could’ve been watching Hardcore Pawn!
