Nobody interested in Smackdown this week?

 

I thought the Page vignette airing would have had everybody going nuts.

[Ruderz]

I enjoyed Smackdown this week, never saw the Paige vignette though for some reason. Ziggler/ADR was good and Sandow on commentary was pretty good, although they really did overhype the possibility for a Sandow cash in on SD a bit too much for then not even a tease cash-in.

 

I was worried that the Wyatts would end up wandering about doing nothing with no real sense of direction and that's precisely what's happened. Personally, the Wyatt's have run out of steam now and I'm no longer interested in them, which is a real shame cause they showed great promise.

 

Pretty much every single match was predictable ending wise, though.

 

EDIT: The Wyatt promo isn't even included on the spoilers for this show, which goes to say something...

[Ciaran The King]

Currently watching SD, Ziggler/ADR is very good

[Jimmy Redman]

Dolph/Alberto may have been good for all I know, but I couldn't concentrate with ALL THE DAMN SHOUTING IN MY EARS. They may not have been shouting, actually, but they were damn sure annoying and distracting. It felt like a verbal form of "jobbing out the MITB winner to test them", the way that even JBL was undermining him and their broken record talking point. "Cash in tonight? Why don't you cash in tonight? Will you cash in tonight? If you're so good why don't you cash in tonight? Oh, you're cashing in tonight? Good to hear you're cashing in tonight! Could you pass me that cashing in tonight? How's the weather in cashing in tonight?"

 

F*ck out. Can't you haze people in private the way normal people do it instead of putting it on TV and letting it ruin shows?
