LordKooler's Smackdown Christmas in Iraq review
aviewaskewed's Uncensored Reactions as he did not see the show.
1.Booker T vs Rene dupree rating:***
A good match to start off Smackdown. I missed the beginning of the show and the beginning of the match because I didn't come home from the library until 7:16pm because I had to walk home in the cold winter weather. Booker T won at the end.
Well, least they're getting some work here, Book is a solid hand, and even though he hasn't done anything spectacular for the brand and maybe never will, he's a strong worker to have on the shows. Dupree needs to be repackaged BADLY, he's gotten stale and they're doing nothing with him, time to repackage him into something new and see what happens.
2.Santa claus segment rating:***
A good segment. Santa claus come out with the Smackdown divas and gives the troops and the divas presents. Then at the end, The divas unmask him, Revealing Mick foley!
Nothing bad to say here, you knew they would have a segment like this, glad they decided to put someone in the suit who wasn't going to get beat up, as that's usually the tact they take with such an angle.
3.Undertaker vs Heidenreich rating:**
I didn't really like this match. Heidenreich is nominated for the 2004 Wrestlecrap gooker award along with Chyna's sex tape, Shaniqua, The Kane/Lita pregnacy angle, Mordecai, Mark Jindrak's Reflection of prefection gimmick, The Booker T/Undertaker feud, JBL as the WWE champion, And the RAW diva search. Undertaker won by countout.
ah god! Fuck me blind! Here I was hoping this would be the end of it...but now we're guaranteed another chapter in this sorry ass feud...please at LEAST tell me that Paul E wasn't out there having to lower himself trying to get this over. Hopefully Taker breaks a part of Heidenreich's body in their next match that puts him out of my misery forever.
4.Hardcore holly vs Kenzo suzuki rating:***
A good match. Hardcore holly won at the end.
I love how there are guys so much more talented then Holly (like most of the Cruiserweight division) with better attitudes and professionalism (just about anybody on the roster), who languish on Velocity or don't even get a TV pay check at all, yet this bastard gets time on Smackdown! on a tour I'm sure the guys are making at least a decent payday off of, and he's done nothing to earn it. Good call Vince...ya fucking putz!
5.JBL segment rating:**
A boring segment. JBL comes to the ring in a biohazard suit and without Orlando jordan, Amy weber, and the Bashams. Then the big show comes out and attacks JBL. JBL's reign as WWE champion is nominated for the 2004 Wrestlecrap Gooker award.
JBL just continues to suck, I give him all the credit in the world for trying, but the only heat he ever gets from me is "I want to change the channel" heat, and that just isn't any good. I HATE Triple H, but I can at least stand to sit through his promos.
6.Eddie guerrero & Rey mysterio vs Kurt angle & Luther reigns rating:***
A good tag team match to end Smackdown. Eddie & Rey won at the end.
I really don't think Angle has much time left with all his neck problems, and the fact that he continues to be booked in tag matchs and squash's just seems to illustrate that, it's sad as hell in that it really could have been avoided. I give Angle huge amounts of credit for having gone out there, and never cheated the fans of a good show, and giving it his best, I just wish he'd been a little smarter about protecting his body.
