WWE SmackDown: Mark Henry and Randy Orton ‘Cross-Rhodes,’ Other Hits on Show
On August - 19 - 2011
The keywords for this review are "credible" and "credibility." The 8/19 edition of Friday Night SmackDown was a solid show, with no real shockers occurring. The part of the show I'm most shocked about is Mark Henry winning the Battle Royal to determine the new No. 1 Contender. I was sure the winner would be Wade Barrett—assuming his victory over Daniel Bryan was to build him up—or Cody Rhodes. I can't say I'm saddened by the winner, however, because Mark Henry definitely deserves the victory. His performances as of late have been tremendous. With that said, Cody Rhodes put on an ...
WWE Smackdown: Randy Orton Continues to ‘Get Got,’ Other Hits on Show
On August - 6 - 2011
The 8/5 edition of SmackDown (I got it right this week) was certainly above average if you ask me. The thing that stood out the most was the fact that Randy Orton got pinned cleanly by Christian. It's quite rare for that to happen. The last time I remember Randy losing cleanly was Extreme Rules 2009 when he went against Jack Swagger. But I'm actually quite sad that he lost. Usually when a babyface begins to lose momentum he ends up winning at the PPV he faces at. And it seems to be the situation here. I could only hope ...
WWE: 10 of Wrestling’s Greatest Video-Promo Packages
On July - 2 - 2011
WWE is known for developing great video promos to basically summarize a feud. They are quite underrated in my opinion, as they are extremely effective in building up the feud.For those who don't know what I'm talking about, video promos can either be something they play for the 'Raw Rebound', or it could even be what they play before a PPV match.So I hope you enjoy the read, and that it doesn't seem like "just another article" to you.Begin Slideshow
WWE Smackdown 7/1: Sheamus Makes a Kick-Face Return, Other Thoughts on Show
On July - 1 - 2011
The 7/1 edition of Friday Night Smackdown featured a contract signing between Randy Orton and Christian, but the contract ended up as just shreds of paper.After Christian and Randy Orton confronted each other, they began to sign their contract for their World Title match at Money in the Bank.But before Christian could sign it, Sheamus made his return to Smackdown and completely decimated both Randy Orton and Christian.I was surprised of how strong Sheamus looked (not physically) while attacking Randy and Christian. When you can attack both the World Champion and the #1 Contender during the same period of time, ...
Cool Perspective: Is the Johnny Curtis Shtick in WWE Copying Zack Ryder?
On July - 1 - 2011
This is the second edition of the Cool Perspective. One or two times a week, I will be posting my detailed opinion on something going on in the wrestling world. It can be a big deal like CM Punk's shoot promo, or it could simply be about a certain Superstar. For my last edition about the truthfulness of the worked-shoot from CM Punk, click here.Over the past month or so, NXT Season Four winner Johnny Curtis has been airing vignettes on SmackDown, making inside references about him either not being on television or about his "potential."Examples for this are him ...
