Ten Thoughts On Smackdown 7/2
1. Swagger received virtually no response–either positive or negative–upon entering. Is the crowd asleep?
2. A fart joke. On Friday Night Smackdown. Really.
3. They should just get rid of the Intercontinental Championship. The champs never compete for them, feuds last a week, and they’re always doing other high-end matches. Same with U.S. Champions. I hope Dolph gets it, though. He’s been a contender on and off for it since Night Of Champions.
4. Serena Deeb is absolutely abysmal as a talker. As if I didn’t have enough reason to hate her.
5. Christian looks cheek-pinching adorable in that outfit. Great promo. I like the banter between him and Matt. They mirror each other and contradict each other in all the right areas.
6. I love where they have Cody Rhodes right now. He’s cocky, entertaining, and hilarious. Love the “talking into a comb” bit. I’m glad they’re doing something with him.
7. Michelle McTaker looks fierce tonight. But why the hell is Kelly Kelly going over again? Beth needs to return, NOW. I’d rather see Cena with a belt around his waist, than Kelly. At least Cena respects the business.
8. Who is this Alberto del Rio character, and why does he deem it necessary to put me to sleep?
Bonus thought: The promo showing the Nexus destroying John Cena, Bret Hart, Vince McMahon, and the Hall of Famers made me mark out for a minute. I love this angle.
9. Cody was kind of the star of that match. It feels like five minutes ago I had to be reminded that he was even on Smackdown. And here he is, highlighting the main event.
10. I still don’t 100% understand why they’re debuting Swagger’s ankle lock as soon as he loses the belt. I do think it’s funny that he has become the 2010-version of Kurt Angle, just with more hair.
I wanted to do a thought on the SES promo, but the only thing it accomplished was clearing Punk’s name. It was drawn out and only borderline-amusing. Punk was magic in the part he had; Serena, was not. Which brings me to a point…why doesn’t she wrestle? Why do we have three valets with remarkable talent in the WWE (Natalya, Tamina, and Serena) that do not wrestle? I believe the first two have only entered the ring twice, the second of which didn’t even finish. Instead of being hit in the face with bad extensions and silicone implants, why don’t we bring in ladies that can actually, oh I don’t know, wrestle?
Thanks for reading all of that nonsense. If you made it this far, ten cool points for you! Tune in next week. @KELLYFLOYDBRAND
