The Smackdown Lowdown! 2/26/10

The best wrestling show on TV starts off with an Elimination Chamber recap of HBK costing Taker the World Heavyweight Championship. Cut to the arena with nerdy Todd Grisham (but not Vintage Nerd like Cole is (Thanks for posting Maryse)) and awesome Matt Striker. Cue the master of the English language our new World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho! He's the new champ as evidence by the cameraman zooming in on the title and panning between himself and the title. Cue Edge and he asks why Jericho thinks he the best in the world, but notices doubt in Y2J's eyes, blasphemy. He then proceeds to tell him after he beat The Rock and Stone Cold in one night- spear, beat the Undertaker two times in a row- spear, when he won the elimination chamber- spear spear spear spear. Y2J is then told that he thinks he sees Edge's face before he goes to sleep, before he get's his coffee, and if he brings that same attitude to Wrestlemania he'll get, guess what, one more spear. Jericho said he'll never get speared again and sucker punched Edge. He then goes for Codebreaker but Edge holds on to the ropes. Crafty Mr. Edge. Then he hits a spear and the health care bill doesn't pass in the senate...oh wait, I mean Jericho's claim is short lived.

Dolph Ziggler beat John Morrison and R- Mr.Narsisstic-Truth w/David Otuga in a triple threat Money in the Bank qualifier match via pinfall: 6/10 or 3/5 Stars
Have you Googled David Otunga yet? Shame if you haven't. Anywho first half everyone working on each other. Before commercial Truth slung himself over the top rope onto Ziggler and it looked like he landed hard, and we go to commerci...NO swerve Truth throws Ziggler back in the ring, but takes a running knee by Morrison who quickly covers Ziggler for a two count. Now the commercial, WTF WWE? We're seasoned to people fall out to the floor, take a commercial break. Step it up from now on, k? Anywho Morrison f***ed the ring post with his shoulder during the commercial break. End match Ziggler hits a powerslam (Looks at Cole and Todd) for a two, Truth throws an inside cradle on Ziggler which Morrison breaks up and goes to work on Ziggler. Hits a back heel kick on Ziggler, but Truth put Morison in a school boy for a two. Then blasts Morrison with a big boot and Ziggler breaks it up at two. Truth with a jaw breaker on Ziggler and then hits the Lie Detector on Morrison which is broken up. Then Ziggler covers Morrison for a two. Ziggler and Morrison to the top rope, then Truth joins them to make an inverted Oreo, and Ziggler's the first to fall and smacks his head hard on the ring apron. Truth goes for a superplex on Morrison but he turns it into a super-sunset flip into a powerbomb. Morrison then hits Starship Pain on Truth, but Ziggler pulls him off at two nad Ziggler covers Truth for the win. Whata kick-off match for Smackdown this week. *Claps for Truth, Morrison, and Ziggler*

The HBK/Undertaker package is shown and they snuck in a RAW recap about Taker accepting the challenge and making it Career vs Streak. Calling it match of the year now.

Michelle McCool w/ Layla beat Mickie James-Canton (WC) in a special referee match for the WWE Women's Championship via pinfall: 4/10 or 2/5 Stars
The special guest ref is "Icky Piggy" Vicky Guerrero. End match Mickie get's pulled off the apron and dominated by McCool, who goes for a powerbomb but Mickie turns it into a head scissors take over. Offense is hit and Mickie has the pin on McCool, but Vickie's fat a** falls out of the ring and breaks her a**. All the while Layla rubs the worse thing she's ever touched. Mickie rolls up McCool in the ring, but takes a slap from the ref, nice, love a ref that calls it down the middle. Then McCool hits a straight kick OUTTA NOWHERE! for the 1-2-3. New champ, new champ, new champ...meh. Sorry was hoping to be able to put "(Thanks for posting AJ Stlyes)", but McCool didn't win with Faith Breaker. Darn it.

Kane vs Drew McIntyre (Intercontinental Champion) in a Money in the Bank qualifier: 4/10 or 2/5 Stars
I love Drew's entrance, wait he speaks! He's undefeated in the WWE, not a man has brought him down yet. He proved it when he beat Kane at Elimination Chamber. After he wins tonight he'll go onto win MitB and the prophecy will be fulfilled as he'll be the undefeated World and Intercontinental Champion. End match, Kane takes a huge clothesline to get a two. Drew then puts Kane in a reverse chin-lock and then switches it to a front face lock and get's slammed cause of it. Kane mounts dome offense and hits two running clothelines in the corner and then a side walk slam for a two. He climbs the ropes and misses with the flying clothesline, and Drew hits the Zig Zag on Kane for a 2. Todd it's ok, you're kind-of new. Kane throws some shoulder blocks in the corner and takes a back elbow. Kane set's of Drew for a chokeslam which he get's out of but takes a big boot. A kick out tough and Drew kicks Robinson as he runs by. Drew set's up The Future shock, but Kane put's him on his own back and Drew tries a cover but Kane hits a second big boot for the three count. Welcome to your first loss, don't turn into Jimmy Wang Yang. Who's that guy? Yeah we don't know either. Drew flips out after the match. Nothing more to this match.

Welcome One Who Carries Much Gold. ShowMiz will defend their titles against anyone in the WWE, but they don't have a Wrestlemaina match yet. So Teddy get out here and find them a suitable tag team to face. Buckle Up Teddy! comes out and doesn't disappoint by setting up Edge vs The Miz later tonight. I'm giddy and clapping wildly.

Shelton Benjamin beat CM Punk w/Luke Gallows/Serena in a Money in the Bank qualifier via pinfall: 5/10 or 2.5/5 Stars
Cue the best stable of people in the WWE right now CM Punk, Luke Gallows, and Serena. Yeah least a good person from ECW made it to SD! End match Shelton get's out of the figure four around the neck and hits a predy Norther Lights Suplex for a two. He mounts more offense and hits a super hammerdrop from the top rope. He missed a splash in the corner and takes a straight kick to the head from Punk which get's a two. Running knee lift into a bulldog which was countered. Gallows is on the apron at this point and distracts Shelton. While Punk set's up the GTS Rey comes out from under the ring and face plants Luke. It distracts Punk enough to let Shelton hit pay dirt for the three. Punk is livid ad Rey waves good bye to him as we go to commercial. I'll wave to Rey cause after WM he'll be going away for awhile, to Mexico..haha just kidding he's getting knee surgery and taking HGH.

RAW Rebound. I'll just post the link to my RAW recap Layin' Down the Raw. Enjoy. http://matthewmday.blogspot.com/2010/02/layin-down-raw-22210.html

Edge beat The Miz (United Staes/Unified Tag Team Champion) in a singles match via pinfall: 5/10 or 2.5/5 Stars
No jokes, I think this'll be a great match till someone interferes. Belly to belly suplex into the bridge, just a smexy move by Edge! Miz throws Edge into the ring post off the apron to take us to commercial. See I knew Samckdoqwn would make it up. End match Miz has a rear chin lock on Edge, he escapes, but get's a shoulder knock down and a boot for his troubles. Miz starts working on Edge's neck and back and hits his infamous clothesline into the corner. Miz top rope, goes for a hammer but Edge catches Miz into a one man flapjack. Side Russian leg sweep by Edge. Cut to Dainel Bryan who's watching in the back. Edge knocks down Miz and then hits a sit down DDT for a two. Damn everyone's using the Zig Zag tonight. Miz sets up the Skull Crushing finale but gets a Edgecution aka Impaler DDT. Then Edge sets up and hits the Spear on Miz for the pinfall.

Smackdown: 7/10
Last Week: 7.5/10
The matches were good and so were the promos. Had it not been for the Triple threat I would've given the show a lower rating as Edge/Miz and Punk/Shelton were good and alright and Kane/Drew was only ok. Good show, looks like it set up Rey/Punk match we've been expecting this year at Wrestlemania too. It's 30 days away, I'm excited.

Random Jesus News
I was shocked to read to that Maria was future endeavored today. The "dumb bimbo" had been with the WWE for like 5 years. She was unrightfully crowed 2009 Diva of the year, compete on the Celebrity Apprentice for the WWE, and just had a smexy photoshoot on WWE.com. Well I won't miss her too much, too bad she never held a title. I felt she deserved one for all her time in the WWE, but meh. Helms got released too, but I figured that since he's only been on TV once since the arrest and two of the four Hardy Show guys are with TNA (Jeff/Shannon). So I expect to see him there soon. Burchill had good match but no gimmick and one they split him and Katie Lea up I knew there was no hope for him. Pirate Burchill a couple years back was awesome. Don't know why Katie's still employed, she'll be gone soon. Scott was a soild ref and had a nice part in the Punk/Undertaker storyline and I thought he did well as a ref. I won't miss him, but he was a good ref.

As always suggest to me stuff to write, I'm really uncreative when it comes to ides for original stuff

Thanks for reading FJ Disciples!
