Smackdown was really good this week. Really good. It shows the contrast between WWE & TNA in terms of booking (barring a John Cena vs Randy Orton match, which is boring and I fucking hate it). And also, there was a fuckload more wrestling. Case in point, where as Smackdown had 7 matches iMPACT had 3 maybe four but all of 1 match (I am not fucking counting Tara vs Madison Rayne, NO Just NO) had a pin fall, and that match was the Pope vs Fourtune BEATDOWN. I wanna see wrestling. Wrestling! Of all those matches in impact, they lasted a good while but there was more fucking talking in the span of 2 hours than there was actual wrestling. Cutting promos is fine, it's just fine, Bound for Glory was passable because it had three good matches (2 of them were kind of ruined by what happened afterwards and it made that entire show unsavable).
Anyway, we had 3 matches, Samoa Joe vs Abyss, RVD vs Anderson and The Pope vs Fourtune. The Fourtune vs Pope match I did like because everyone there is a good wrestler and isn't fucking ancient barring Ric Flair who is not wrestling. It showed that the Pope can handle himself for a damn good amount of time against 5 guys. I like that.
We had Samoa Joe vs Abyss and Samoa Joe can move it was going well until Abyss nailed Joe in the head with a bell and established how one gets a Disqualification in the fucking Impact Zone.
RVD vs Anderson, the crowd was cheering mostly for Anderson because well, he's a good wrestler... RVD is too but he looks like a douchey Shawn Michaels to me. Just saying. This match goes on for a while. It was good until Jeff Hardy came and fucked it all up. Also, Anderson is apparently out for a few months do to an arm injury. Fake this shit guys. Better.
Smackdown is better, and here's why: It's basically a rehash of Raw's tournament but with Smackdown stars.
First match: Rey Mysterio vs Dashing Cody Rhodes: I like the match, Rey ends up the winner but he and Rhodes put up quite a fight.
Second Match: Jack Swagger vs MVP. Yeah MVP future endeavors, you losing to Dolph Ziggler and now to Jack Swaggahhh maybe you should consider more options. It was a good match though, but what the fuck to make of it I don't know. Also, take the fucking bandage off your nose MVP, it's stupid.
Third Match: Alberto Del Rio vs Chris Masters. This was a really good match, I really like how they're pushing Del Rio, and this was a good match. Del Rio gets that submission of his in and makes Masters tap.
Fourth Match: Edge vs Dolph Ziggler. Amazing match, Edge clearly is the better horse to bet on but he fought for that spot. The highlight was him missing the spear getting hit by the ZigZag and going into those steal steps. That should have been it, but Ziggler decides for a count out and Edge barely makes it back and then once he gets his second wind it's all Edge.
Fifth Match: Big Show vs Kaval time limit qualifier. Big Show makes Kaval for 4 minutes and in the last 30 seconds Kaval shows his strength and attacks Show until the Time runs out.... then stupid happens
Sixth Match: Kaval vs... Tyler Reks. THAT IS NOT A COOL NAME YOU FUCKING IDIOT! Fuck this company, really. Who the fuck is Tyler Reks? Why does he get the push over Kaval? I think TNA has a problem with people who were in TNA at some point. Jesus. This match sucked.
Last Match: Kofi vs Drew McIntyre. Hey folks, we don't hear McIntyres music, guess who is going to win here? Yep, Kofi is going to win. He gets the Trouble in Paradise and pins Drew.. good match, but I was still pissed over the fucking Kaval match.
Oh and Kane cuts another promo, Undertaker comes out and promptly beats his ass with a "Shut up woman" beat down... now if only he would do that to Michelle McCool...
