We're still in England and in mere months Smackdown will be moving to Syfy, so enjoy it while you can. Still in England this week so let's join those limey Brits that were there for the taping as I give you the Smackdown lowdown!
I'll hit the main point, Chris Jericho, the best in the world at what he does, comes out, calls us hypocrites, and demands Teddy job and his rematch. I wonder if Teddy Long is still on probation? Anywho Edge also thinks the WHC needs to stay on Smackdown, but he's the one to bring it back. Cue Teddy "The Former Ref" Long who doesn't, need to be hatin' on, playa. To which Y2J replies, "Well if you did your job I wouldn't be hating, player." This leads to Teddy making a World Heavyweight Championship triple threat match between Jack Swagger, Chris Jericho, and Edge.
Drew McIntyre (Intercontinental Champion) beat Kane in a singles match via DQ: 2/10 or 1/5 Stars
Enter Drew McIntyre and his awesome entrance, and he wants to address us. He tells us that we don't like him, maybe because of his looks, age, or championship. Well, Drew hates us right back. Nice. End match Kane hits his boot, clothesline in the corner, sidewalk slam, and flying clothesline. McIntyre go sick of the match at this point and tries to walk off. Out comes The Lone Jobberwalkie, Matt Hardy, and throws Drew back in this ring. This constitutes a DQ now apparently, and gives Drew the win. Kane isn't happy and choke-slams Hardy for his troubles.
Swagger, "The Lisp Champion", confronts Teddy in the back, too bad he didn't say any lispy words. He tells Teddy that this is his most unfair ruling ever, he obviously hasn't been watching Smackdown for long cause he's made far worse. Teddy says he'd better learn to like them cause as long as he's on SD he'll have to live with his rulings.
Dolf Zigger beat R-Truth in a singles match via submission: 2/10 or 1/5 Stars
We see video of Dolf choking out "Goofy Smile" Matthews last week and Teddy makes him apologize. Haha, he did like I did in 3rd grade when I threw stuff. Cue Mr. Narcissistic, cause we need our black, rapper, and bad catch-phrase. Truth hits hit move-set, and goes for the Lie Detector and misses. Ziggler slaps on the sleeper hold on R-Truth ad gets the win. Where's the three arm drops? Whatever, they're putting over the sleeper in 2010, crazy stuff.
"Mrs. Necrophilia" Michelle McCool (Womens Champion) w/Layla/Vicky Guerrero beat Mickie James-Canton in a singles match: 5/10 or 2.5/5 Stars
Great match, it was long for a womens match, and there was even time for a power sift or two. Glad Mickie's back and in good form. End match Mickie hits the hurricanrana and McCool ducks out the ring. And Mickie hits a seated-senton from the barricade, and then a Thez press on Layla. They get back in the ring and Layla get's on the apron and Mickie kicks her into the rings. Allowing McCool to hit that straight kick or the win. Afterward Beth Phoenix comes out and clears ringside as McCool was wailing on Mickie after the match. Looks like Mickie and Beth are on the same page, nice.
Rey Mysterio/Tyson Kidd/David Hart Smith w/Natalya beat CM Punk/Luke Gallows/Darren "Unh Se, Unh Se, Unh Se" Young via pinfall: 6/10 or 3/5 Stars
The Miz, our Unified Tag Team Champion and United States Champion is on commentary. And he's boasting about beating DH Smith in his daddy's home town on Raw, and rightfully so. We get an out ot the floor commercial spot as Rey goes for a 619 as Punk slips under the top rope to get a breather. Oh, yeah Grisham's questions are stupid, and I'm siding with Miz. Also Matt has toned it down and is doing good again on commentary. End match Young hits a swinging neckbreaker on Kidd for a two count. In comes Punk and hits a backbreaker on Kidd which yields a two. He then slaps a head scissors on Kidd, he gets out and rolls up Punk for a two. Dareen is tagged in and misses a flying leg drop. Punk back in and stops Rey from tagging in and DH Smith is tagged in. DH Smith gets rolled up and counter for a two. CM Punk takes advantage and hits Smith with s high-kick, which gets a two. Punk gets drop toe held into the turnbuckle. It lets Rey use the steel post to hit a 619. DH then hits his running powerslam for the 1-2-3. Miz was good on commentary, and the action was good. Smackdown is doing great so far tonight.
Cut to the back where Chris Jericho is with his NXT Rookie Wade "The Botanist" Barret in the back telling him soon he can be the best in the world at what he does. He also says this will be his lucky number seven, as he wins a world title for the 7th time.
JTG vs Caylen Croft w/Trent Baretta in a singles match: 3/10 or 1.5/5 Star
The Dudebusters have to split up for the night as Croft has to take on the freshly single JTG. Shad walks down the isle as the match is going. End match JTG rolls up Croft for a two. Croft throws two knees to the head to get a two. JTG goes for a swinging neckbreaker, Croft tires for one of his own, and JTG counters that and hits the 'breaker. JTG gets his boot up on Croft in the corner. Then JTG hits a go around inverted bulldog for the three count. Immediately Shad kills JTG with a clothesline. Yelling that JTG will never be anything. JTG though hits the falling facebuster and dropkick to Shad. Grisham said he's not gonna take it, not he's not gonna take it, JTGs not gonna take it anymore.
We have a MacGruber plug, and I like that style of comedy. "Can you defuse it?" .. "You kidding? This many wires, I'm more of a three wire guy." Haha RAW is gonna be full of corny jokes that I'm sure I'm going to laugh at.
Jack Swagger vs Chris Jericho vs Edge in a Triple Threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship: 8/10 or 4/5 Stars
Nice its starting at 8:40 so we'll have a 15+ minute match, and 10+ on tv. Why this wasn't at Extreme Rules, or Edge/Y2J added to the Orton/Swagger match, I'll never know, but this should be good. End match Swagger hits the double jump splash on Edge in the corner. Swagger works Edges back and midsection and tosses him out of the ring. He follows Edge out and gets thrown into the announce table, while Y2J takes out Edge. Y2J throws Edge back in the ring and hits a back suplex for a two. We get an Ask Him spot with the dreaded rear chin lock. Edge get's out and throws Y2J in the corner and then get's picked up by Sawgger only to throw him into Chris i the corner. Edge then hits a double clothesline and boots, leading to a Jericho roll-up for two. Y2J goes for a Lionsault that's turned into a sit-down powerslam. Y2J muffs the bulldog and Edge sets up for the spear. Edge counters it into a roll-up into the Wall of Jericho. Sawgger breaks up the Walls and gets one of his own. Edge breaks it up and hits Edgecution. Swagger goes for the gut wrench powerbomb but it's countered into another Edgecution. Jericho pounces Edge and covers him for two as hes going for the spear. Swagger with an Oklahoma roll on y2J for a two. Then a codebreaker on Swagger. y2J goes for the spear on Edge. He leap frogs it and hits the spear on Y2J. Edge get's pulled off at two and Swagger picks up the scraps for the pinfall. Afterward Sawgger threw Edge back in the ring and hit the Gut wrench powerbomb on Edge. Yeah he's still our champ, I don't mind, he's done good so far. Now Y2J goes to work on Edges torn Achilles heel. He stomps on it, and pins it between the ring post/steel steps and gives it a boot, as we close out Smackdown. I'm giving this match 4 stars, that's right 4 stars. Great great match.
Smackdown: 8/10 or 4/5 Stars
Last Week: 6/10 or 3/5 Stars (Unofficial FJ Rating)
I loved this show, the first to matches were meh but the opening segment made up for them. Then we had a nice little Ziggler squash and the very above average divas match. We're rollin' now. We hit the 6-man tag match which was a nice watch with some good spots and announcing. Finally we end the show with the epic triple threat between Swagger/Edge/Y2J, and I'm a very happy WWE fan. And I'm glad they didn't give up on the idea of a triple threat between the three. Meh to good matches, good story-line movement, and Striker wasn't annoying. I won't say he's back, but he's getting there. This is a Smackdown to most definitely catch.
That's it for The Smackdown Lowdown. As always suggest to me stuff you'd like me to write on n' shizz. Also if you wanna add me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter, please do so. Really I don't mind.
