My 1st Smackdown since 17th Apr this year, again I make no apologies for not knowing people or storylines. Show opens with CM Punk getting booed so I guess he's a heel now? No-one cares what he was saying & all the darkness bulls**t was exactly that.
Tagmatch, John Morrison & Finlay vs Mike Knox & Dolph Ziggler - So Psycho Sid lost his gimmick to Ziggler & The Barbarian lost his to Knox? By the time the bell had rung for this (the 1st match of the show) the show was already well over 17 minutes old with no wrestling having happened yet. Well this thing kicked off & they went for a commercial break within a few minutes, coming back Knox was on top over Finlay who was too old to be jobbing like this 10 years ago so he's well past whatever prime he might have had. Morrison had a decent enough match, I enjoyed his Hurricanrana on Knox as well as the standing Shooting Star Press. Knox took out his own partner with a Flying Crossbody Block allowing Finlay to nail him with the Shillelagh allowing Morrison to take the win off Starship Pain.
Slam Master J vs Kane - J is Jesse (of Jesse & Festus fame) so it looks like they are trying to wring every last drop out of s**tty rapper gimmicks. P**s poor super s**t match where Kane took the win off a Chokeslam. Jesse, go back to Festus, at least you were over & not a jobbing wanker with him. Well, not a wanker at least.
Vince McMahon comes out, gives a cheap crowd pop, makes some announcement. No clue who Drew McIntyre is or why he was being introduced either.
The Big Show vs Batista - F**king awful & very long boring match, Batista took the win off DQ by outside interference when Chris Jericho came in to make the save on his tag partner. Atrocious match.
JTG vs David Hart Smith - Smith had a good match, I enjoyed watching him. JTG didn't fare all that badly either, I've never seen much of him to be honest. Natalya distracted the ref allowing Tyson Kidd to kick JTG in the head & Smith took the win off a big powerful Suplex. Not a bad match at all.
CM Punk vs The Undertaker - I see we've gone back to Ministry Of Darkness Taker? I guess if we're going back through all the Taker gimmicks it'll be the American Bad Ass next then? I'm not exactly sure why we are seeing these 2 fighting if their due to meet each other at a PPV fairly soon. Possibly one of the most boring matches I have ever seen with pretty much nothing happening, CM Punk took the win when The Undertaker was counted out,
Call THAT a finish? P**s poor.
