WWE Friday Night Smackdown 11th Apr 08 reviewed

Let me start by saying I actually could have reviewed this on Friday but I really needed the sleep. The show starts with a bit of business between Great Khali & The Big Show. I watched it on fast forward, I hate storyline set-up's & related b**ls**t.

Tag Match - John Morrison & The Miz vs Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore. Even though Miz & Morrison had the upper hand for most of this match it was Yang & Moore who proved to be more entertaining & had miles better moves. Yang doesn't need his s***ty gimmick (I'm assuming he's the Jay Lethal of WWE?) as the guy has talent! Miz took an undeserved win for his team. It's about time they dropped the belts to a WAY more entertaining team.

Finlay vs Matt Striker. Finlay took the win after using the stick. C**p match, waste of good tv time.

Victoria (with Natalaya Neidhart) vs Michelle McCool. Victoria got the win with some outside help. Not a good match at all really.

Batista comes out to bores us on the mic. Shaun Micheals likewise.

Vladimir Kozlov vs Mat Logan. Another squash match for this guy? BORING! Kozlov took the very DULL win. This guy will never be over in a million years. He's a useless c**t. Simple as that.

Matt Hardy vs Chuck Palumbo. With MVP ringside it was pretty certain we were going interference. As pretty s**t matches go, this was one. Hardy got the win. With no interference but Hardy getting "distracted".

Undertaker vs Festus. I have no idea who thought this match would ever be entertaining. How Festus was getting a match against a titleholder is a complete mystery to me. It's not as though he's even a singles competitor. Either 'Taker wasn't taking this match very seriously or Festus is an incredibly sloppy worker as this match revealed far too many of the "secrets" of how wrestling really works.

So many "punches" given away (bad camera angles too) and 'Taker didn't seem to want to sell much of what Festus was giving out as "real". Festus made a lot more of this match than I expected him to but it still looked incredibly scrappy & sloppy, I would use this in their wrestling school as an example of "how not to work on tv". Undertaker got the win off his submission hold. Pretty boring match actually.
