LordKooler's Smackdown review
1. John cena segment
This is the kind of rap that John cena does when he's feuding with someone. John cena raps about JBL and says that he will lose the WWE title at wrestlemania 21. Did any of you see the new Wrestlemania 21 commercial with JBL & John cena in a parody of A few good men?
Haven't seen the commercial, but I think it's about time they cut back on Cena's rapping and get him to act more serious about his oppurtunity. Maybe they're saving that until right around when Mania hits (and if they are, bully for them, that's a very smart thing to do, since it will convey to the audience that fun and games are over, and Cena is going to seriously take the belt from JBL, and be a credible champ).
2.Eddie guerrero & Rey mysterio vs Mark jindrak & Luther reigns
Eddie & Rey mostly dominated this match. And that's why they won. Jindrak & Reigns argued at the end and Jindrak attacked reigns. Will this lead up to a Mark Jindrak vs Luther reigns match at Wrestlemania 21.
From what I hear, yeah, it will, and apparently Jindrak is supposed to be the babyface in this situation. I think this is rushed though, especially for a big show like Mania. I don't think the fans truly give a fuck about either one of them in any real way, so splitting them and having them feud at this point is only going to hurt their potential future value I feel.
3.Booker T vs Heidenreich
It's just like their match at No way out. But with a different ending, Heidenreich wins by DQ instead of Booker T.
Terrible news, since it looks like these two will be booked together at Mania. Vince, have Book beat this idiot and then drop him, even if he's payed the downside of his guarantee (which being on TV and PPV, I know he isn't) it's still too much. There are are so many talented guys on the roster right now getting crapped on so unentertaining bastards like this can make money they don't deserve.
4.Kurt angle segment
Kurt angle shows a video clip of what he did to Shawn michaels on RAW and before he wrestles his opponent in the invitational, Shawn michaels attacks Kurt angle after taking off his Cameraman disguise.
Bout what I expected, no way they can turn me off to this match...now watch, they'll do something retarded next week just to prove me fucking wrong.
5.Dawn Marie & Rene dupree vs Michelle & Big show
Rene & Dawn marie looked shocked when Michelle revealed her partner The Big show. This was a boring match. When the big show was tagged, He domninated Rene dupree. This was a boring match.
Don't know what the hell the point of it was other then to get hot girls on TV. Big Show looks like he's going to be rudderless again now that his main event push is over.
6.JBL segment
A boring segment. Like john cena's rap at the start of the show, JBL bashes his opponent. And talks bad about Cena's fans. And says if he doesn't get any respect from the crowd, He will leave. Since the crowd didn't give him respect, He leaves.
Now if only that would work every week...
7.John cena vs Orlando jordan
Before the match, JBL said if Orlando doesn't win the U.S title, He's gonna get kicked out of JBL's cabinet. John cena dominates the match until JBL & his cabinet interfere. And at the end, Orlando wins the U.S title.
Not a bad outcome honestly I feel. Like Jordan or not, the company has put a lot of time into him, grooming him from Velocity into the position he's in now. They obviously see something in him, and I do believe he's a pretty solid hand, let's hope he can really do something with the oppurtunity he's been given, with as bad as SD! has been lately, and a lot of it having to do with guys who don't belong workwise and charisma wise in spots they've been placed in, they really need new faces like OJ to run with any sort of ball they're given.
