The Smackdown Lowdown 2/18/11 [600th Episode]



It is the 600th episode of Smackdown and my 600th blog post...well not really but it's a big night for good old Smackdown. The Rocks back in the WWE, we have a huge 12 man tag match and Dolph Ziggler will be crowned the new World Heavyweight Champion. Kelly Kelly's still fired right? Good, let's get going with the lowdown on Smackdown!

Edge [World Heavyweight Champion]/Randy Orton/John Morrison/R-Truth/Rey Mysterio/John Cena beat CM Punk/King Sheamus/Wade Barrett/Drew McIntyre/Kane/Dolph Zigler [New World Heavyweight Champion] in a 12-Man tag team match via pinfall: 5/10 or 2.5/5 Stars
Josh Matthews informs us that Vickie will crown Dolph as the new champion later tonight as Edge makes his way to the ring. God it's always nice to hear Chimel's voice crack during Edge's intro. Like a WWE pastime. Oh they fired up the Barney Anus Cam to shoot Cena out there. Booker said it! King BOOKAH! Ziggler hit a counter T-Bone Suplex to Morrison who was on the top rope for a two as we go to commercial. Wow a bear hug from Kane, you know WWE's killing time when they let someone do that. As we go to commercial again Kane throws Rey out of the ring onto a waiting CM Punk, who had his knee out for the gut buster. Wow, I really like that heel teamwork. Booker T pointed out Barrett dropped Rey on his coccyx bone..for what reason I do not know. End match Edge and Ziggler are in. Edge hits the flapjack and Edgecution and calls for the Spear. Sheamus hits the Blarney Boot on Sheamus, Morrison takes out Sheamus with the Flying Chuck, Kane took out Morrison with the chokeslam, Cena took out Kane with the Attitude Adjustment, CM Punk killed Cena with the GTS, Orton takes out Punk with the RKO, McIntyre takes out Orton with the Future Shock, R-Truth takes out McIntyre with Paydirt, Barret takes out Truth with the Tilt-O-Whirl sideslam, Rey head-scissors Barret into the ropes and Ziggler joins him. Rey hits a double 619, and Edge spears Ziggler afterward for the 1-2-3.

After the match Vickie comes out and showed us what happened last week. Guerrero says that Edge will lose the title, and Ziggler will get it later tonight. Vickie says he's welcome to watch the coronation from his hotel room. Teddy and Vickie see eye to eye on one thing, and what Edge did is inexcusable and that he's fired.

WE get a recap of the "Dashing" Cody Rhodes tragedy, when Rey hit him in the face and in turn ruined his face. Grisham caught up with Cody, who has a face mask on. Cody says that his chances of success are gone because he's not on the Road to Wrestlemania like everyone else. He's not gonna bad mouth Rey, but he's here to tell us that next week on Smackdown he'll have a special message for us.

We have a flash back to the first Smackdown. Where Triple H and Shawn Micheal screw The Rock out of the WWF Title.

Layla/Maryse beat Eve Torres [Divas Champion]/Beth Phoenix in a tag team match via pinfall: 2/10 or 1/5 Stars
My lovely British buttercup! Awww she's so beautiful! McCool is on commentary due to her injury. End match, McCool hobbles to the apron to yell at Eve. Beth hits her in the foot. The ref goes to break them up. Layla and Maryse takes out Eve and Layla pins Eve to end this thing.

Here comes a reap of The Rock fucking epic promo on Raw. I'm pretty sure this is gonna be cut up and bleeping out all the great parts when he insulted John Cena and cursed. And holy fuck I got chills STILL just now when The Rock's music hit. THEY DIDN'T CUT IT! YESSSSS! AND I QUOTE, from The Rock, at 8:03CDT! God, I've seen it like 5 times and it's still awesome. Yes, more so than The Miz.

They show a flash back of the first sports oriented Smackdown, and event in the USA, after 9/11. I'm sure it was moving night. I got into the WWE at around Wrestlemania 20, so I missed it.

The Miz [WWE Champion] w/Alex Riley vs Kofi Kingston [Intercontinental Champion] in a singles match:
I like this pairing. They're both good in-ring, but not great and can put on a good show if they work hard. Alex Riley is staggering around the ring drunk as we go to commercial after Miz kicked Kofi off the second rope. End match Kofi hits a standing dropkick for a two. Miz shoulder blocks Kof inot the corner and misses his clothesline in the corner taking the p kick. Kofi follows up with the flying crossbody for a two. Miz then hits the VINTAGE (at 8:22CDT) Mizard of Oz for a long two as well. Miz goes to throw Kofi out, but he bounces off the ropes hits the leaping clothesline and then the Boom Drop. Kofi calls for the Trouble in Paradise as Del Rio comes out. Miz rolls up Kofi who counters the roll up at two into one of his own that gets a two. Kofi goes to yell at Del Rio, who hits him with his scarf. Miz takes advantage by hitting the Skull Crushing Finale for the pinfall.

Afterward the Miz and Riley celebrate and Del Rio climbs in the ring and taunts the crowd as we cut to Cole running down the top 10 running episodic television shows in history. It goes; (Starting at 10) My Three Sons, Bonanza, Ozzie and Harriet, Death Valley Days, Law and Order, The Simpsons, Lassie, WWE Smackdown, Gunsmoke, and WWE Raw. That's interesting to me. It's not to you? I don't give a fuck.

Did you know? A Beached whale runs faster than Matt Hardy.

YES! They show the flashback of the Smackdown after Wrestlemania 20 where Eddie Guerrero came out as still the WWE Champ! Thanks Booker and Cole for being great about talking about him!

Santino Marella/Vladimir Kozlov [WWE Tag Team Champions] beat Justin Gabriel/Heath Slater in a tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championships in a tag team match via DQ: 2/10 or 1/5 Stars
Team Cobra baby! I just can't get behind that ginger Slater tbh. End match Santino htis the Peoples Headbutt which Slater breaks up. Vlad gets rid of him and Santino hits The Cobra on Gabriel and Barrett hits the ring and the ref calls it off.

Afterward The Corre beats down Santino. The Big Show then storms into the ring and destroys everyone. Big Zeke is on the outside and Big Show calls him in. Zeke jumps to the apron and back down. As if to say Ezekiel will do it on his own time.

We get another flashback to the classic Booker T/Stone Cold brawl in the supermarket. God I watched that a couple weeks ago, it is beyond epic. "Price check on jackass" Hahaha.

Alright! It's coronation time! Vickie is about to crown you're NEW World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler! Perfection! As Vickie gives the belt to Ziggler, the crowd starting chanting "We Want Edge!" OH MY! Teddy Long has returned from the grave! He said that they're both surprised to see him. Teddy Long says that Vickie was the first on the scene and had the most to gain. Vickie then cracks and squeals on Dolph doing it and it being his idea. Teddy Long says that they can clear the ring cause we're having a world title match now. He says Vickie has the power to fire and Teddy has the power to hire. And Edge is rehired and Dolph's opponent.

Edge beat Dolph Ziggler [World Heavyweight Champion] in a singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship via pinfall: 2/10 or 1/5 Stars
It starts as soon as Smackdown comes back from commercial. End match, Dolph slaps on the sleeper, but Edge blocks it. Ziggler hits a big boot and goes for the Zig Zag but Edge hung onto the ropes. Ziggler whips Edge into the rope but the spear is what he got in return. 1-2-3.

BUT WE'RE NOT DONE YET! Teddy comes out and fires Dolph Ziggler. WTF, thats cold, and racist I'm sure. Edge says excuse me and tells us that this has been one big party and Edge wants to sing. So as we close the 600th Smackdown, confetti and all, we're singing "Nanana nanana hey hey hey goodbye!"

Smackdown Rating: 6/10 or 3/5 Stars
Last week: 7/10 or 3.5/5 Stars
I liked the 600th Smackdown, even though it was promo/storyline furthering filled. The 12-man tag was a good way to start and not a bad match in itself. The diva's match was decent enough and all the Edge/Dolph/Vickie/Teddy interactions were done well. Also them showing the unedied The Rock promo from Monday was great. The Elimination Chamber PPV is this Sunday and you could tell they were somewhat pushing it as well. Good enough show, check it out and congrats on the milestone WWE!

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.
