Fat Jesus' WWE Summerslam 2012 Predictions

 This is the grand 25th Anniversary of WWE's now "Biggest Party of the Summer". I love the Summerslam event and for they most part they've never disappointed me. This is like the Wrestlemania of the Summer and they usually go all out. And I think, from what's been announced, it will be a decent show.

Santino (United States Champion) vs Antoino Cesaro w/Aksana in a isngels match for the United States Champion

This is just another pre-PPV blech filler match. Although this has potential more than the others. Santino is decent enough when given time and Cesaro is very nice raw talent. Hopefully a decent match occurs here.

Winner (New United States Champion): Antonio Cesaro

Kofi Kingston and R-Truth vs Prime Time Players (Darren Young/Titus O'Neil) in a tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship

I don't know why but I love the Prime Time Players. I don't mind Truth and Kofi but they have no reason to have the belts as they're never on TV. As bad as AW screwed up, that could only help PTP. I don't mind fresh faces with decent talent getting a chance to shine.

Winners (New WWE Tag Team Champions): Prime Time Players

Kane vs Daniel Bryan in a singles match

This match was thrown in I believe cause they've feuded before and Bryan and his "No No No" have NO match. They've had matches before and they've been solid. So I have no reason to think this will be bad. I just think it's out of no where. Filler, but good filler I hope.

Winner: Daniel Bryan

The Miz (Intercontinental Champion) vs Rey Mysterio in a singles match for Intercontinental Championship

 Yet another match to throw in to complete a card. But this has potential to be great. Even though it's probably here to give Rey the title, it should be decent enough. Miz has grown to hold his own and as long a Rey doesn't botch too much they can have a decent little match.

Winner (And still Intercontinental Champion): The Miz

Triple H vs Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman in a singles match

This match has definitely had the most hype behind it. This is Triple H's first match since Wrestlemania and Brock's second match since returning. Like Heyman said this won't be a match this will be more of a brawl/fight. I wouldn't be surprised if Steph came out also, even with what happened to Shawn on Monday, I think we'll have an appearance as well. This can be fairly good I think, like his match with Cena. I'm just worried it will take precedence over other, bigger, matches.

Winner: Brock Lesnar

Chris Jericho vs Dolph Ziggler w/Vickie Guerrero in a singles match 

This could and probably will be the match that steals the show. This also one of the few matches that had a build I was interested in. Jericho is one of my all time favorites and Ziggler, to me, is the top performer right now in the WWE. He has Vickie which garners him even more heel heat and Money in the Bank which almost guarantees him the world title. This match will be VERY good I think.
Winner: Dolph Ziggler

Sheamus (World Heavyweight Champion) vs Alberto Del Rio in a singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship

Not much more to say about this one than their Money in the Bank match. It will go on early and it will be good at best. They really need to find someone that meshes more with Del Rio (maybe Rey or Cody) and get Sheamus into a feud with Ziggler or Christian.
Winner (And still World Heavyweight Champion): Sheamus

CM Punk (WWE Champion) vs John Cena vs Big Show in a triple threat match for the WWE Champion

I have no clue why Big Show is in this match, he's literally just there. Also I'm asking why not make it a Fatal Four Way and throw in Bryan? As much as I love Punk though Cena hasn't had the title in ages and they made him fail the Money in the Bank cash in he had. The Punk turn is going well and I like him in a heel role more. He's just better at it. Anywho this could be a decent match Big Show is solid enough and we know Punk and Cena can have fantastic matches. Somehow I'm sure this won't be the main event and if it is, I'll be surprised.
Winner (And new WWE Champion): John Cena

Winners
Antonio Cesaro (New United States Champion)
Darren Young/Titus O'Neil (New WWE Tag Team Champions)
Daniel Bryan
The Miz (Retains Intercontinental Championship)
Brock Lesnar
Dolph Ziggler

Song(s) of the Day #29

These two songs have stuck in my head since WWE Raw Monday Night. Downstait anyone? Dolph Ziggler has been on fire wrestling-wise this year. Great matches and great promos. And I've always liked The Miz, the early part of this year especially. Dolph's new theme is pretty damn awesome, and speaking of AWESOMEEEEEE, so is Miz'.

Downstait- "Here to Show the World", WWE United States Champion Dolph Ziggler's Theme

Downstait- "I Came to Play", WWE Superstar The Miz' Theme

The Smackdown Lowdown 10/28/11

We're coming off yet another mediocre PPV in Vengeance. Sheamus, again beat Christian in a solid match-up and Randy Orton overtook the Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes in another solid match. Finally Mark Henry kept his title after his match with The Big ended with the ring being broken. Are we allowed to remember that? I hope so, it happened a week ago. Hopefully the superstars can somehow perform knowing Maryse has been let go as well. Anywho what will be the fallout for the World Heavyweight Champ and the rest of Smackdown? Well I'm here to tell you, here's the lowdown on Smackdown.

We start off with Teddy Long in the ring and he's addressing what happened at Vengeance. He says that the status of everything involing the title is in limbo and will be addressed tonight. Christian hits the ring and says they're gonna address the issue now. Christian says that Big Show had his shot and blew it and it leaves a hole in the title picture. Christian says he wants the shot, but Teddy comes back with the fact he's losing to Sheamus. Christian is still lobbying to get the title shot when CM Punk's music hits and he heads to the ring. Christian finishes by saying he deserves one more match. Teddy tells us that he's arranged for Raw starts to be on this show tonight for a Super Smackdown. They argue about which GM sucks more, Ace or Long. Punk then says he's a fan of Christian but not what he spews. Christian says that he thinks Punk leaving with the title over the summer was awful. Punk says all of Christian's bitching is wasting all our time and maybe that's why Punk gets title shots. Christian goes on to say that Punk shouldn't disrespect the top person on Smackdown and that he should take is pipe bomb back to Raw. Punk starts to leave but then says the people in Houston want him there and in a match...against Christian. Teddy makes it the main event and we go to commercial.

Did you know? That in fact, Matt Hardy isn't dead yet.

The Awesome Truth (The Miz/R-Truth) beat Air Boom (Kofi Kingston/Evan Bourne) [WWE Tag Team Champions] via pinfall in a tag team match: 4/10 or 2/5 Stars
Before the match we get footage of Miz and Truth taking out Cena on Raw and then Cena saying he'll team with The Rock against them at Survivor Series. End match Kofi hit a double jump crossbody on Miz for a two. Bourne knee strikes Truth out of the ring but misses a plancha over the top. Truth tags himself in and they hit both their finisher at the same time, The Skull Crushing Lil Jimmy, for the pinfall. Solid tag, great end, and great promo from the "thrown" together tag team gone big-time.

The jobber squad, led by Daniel Bryan is in the back, and just saw the HBK v Hart DVD commercial. Bryan say it was a pleasure to train with HBK when he first started in the business. Tyson Kidd comes in and starts an argument on who's better, Bret or Hart. Santino said that this is the locker room and they should "be real mans" and fight it out in the ring.

Cut to Teddy and Little Long Island Iced Z, Hornswoggle. Vickie Guerrero, Jack Sawgger, and Dolph Ziggler (United States Champion) come up laughing about Ryder being taken out on Raw or something like that. Who cares? Teddy decides to put Dolph in a match with Randy Orton and that Swagger is barred from ringside. After they leave Aksana walks up and "seduces" Teddy Long.

We then get a video package of Kevin Nash taking out triple H on Raw with that dastardly sledgehammer before Wade Barrett heads to the ring and we go to commercial.

Wade Barrett beat Trent Baretta via pinfall in a singles match: 2/10 or 1/5 Stars
Before the match Barrett says his Barrett barrage is in full swing. Barrett and Baretta, will the extra vowel mean anything in the end? End match Barrett counters a move and muscles Baretta up into The Wasteland for the one, two, three. Guess that vowel didn't help. I like Barrett and i'm glad they're showing him off and letting him win matches. Push incoming? I hope so.

Randy Orton beat Dolph Ziggler (United States Champion) w/Vickie Guerrero via pinfall in a singles match: 6/10 or 3/5 Stars
Cody Rhodes your Intercontinental Champion, unexpectedly, comes out to do commentary. I like this matching going into the commercial break too. Technical and neither are over powering each other yet, just a good back and forth. End match Orton hits the second rope DDT after a flurry off offence. Orton goes for the RKO but gets a superkick from Ziggler instead for a long time two. Ziggler regroups and goes for the Zig Zag but Orton hangs onto the ropes. Ziggler charges Orton and takes an RKO for his troubles. 1-2-3, match is over. Great match, ok finish. I love Ziggler and Orton can still put on good matches.

Afterward Rhodes is pissed and taunted Orton with a paper bag as he backs up the ramp with his baggers.

We get footage of Sin Cara Negro losing the mask vs mask match to Sin Cara Azul. We then cut to the back where the no unmasked Sin Cara Negro tells Striker that he's pissed that Azul took away his identity and something else in Spanish before walking off.

Daniel Bryan (Mr. Money in the Bank) beat Tyson Kidd via submission in a singles match: 3/10 or 1.5/5 Stars
Daniel Bryan, always amazing. Tyson Kidd, young stud rising. This could be epic. Or this could be a short match filled with great counters that is too short and I'll complain until they get a 10+ minute match. I want a grudge feud between these two. Make it happen WWE. End match  Bryan picks his way out of The Sharpshooter and slaps on the LaBell Lock and Kidd taps.

We get a video package of what we saw earlier replayed where Miz and Truth cost Cena the title and have been harassing him. Ending with Cena choosing The Rock to be his partner at Survivor Series.

Cole has a mic and he starts completely knocking JR. He has a bunch of photoshopped pictures of JR training. He says that the rules for the Michael Cole Challenge (or whatever it's called) will be explained Monday. And that of JR somehow wins Cole will quit.

Big Show comes out to the ring to address the world title situation. We get...pictures, fuck you WWE for still doing this, of Mark Henry and Big Show breaking the ring at Vengeance Sunday.. Big Show starts by saying "Oops I did it again." Big Show puts over the strength and tenacity of Mark Henry, making him hurt in places he didn't know he had. Big Show wants them to reinforce the ring and he wants a match number two for the title. He looked into Henry's eyes and he knows he can beat him. Teddy Long agrees and sometime in the future this rematch will happen. The World Heavyweight Champion, Mark Henry comes out. Both men look beat up, I like that. Henry says that it doesn't matter who he talks to, he's not getting another match. And that obviously he didn't do a good enough job beating him, that he should put his boot in his mouth right now. Big Show is ready to fight, but as Henry is getting into the ring pain hits him and he retreats. We go to commercial with Mark Henry holding the World Heavyweight Championship in the air.

CM Punk beat Christian via pinfall in a singles match: 6/10 or 3/5 Stars
No real build-up. Just two amazing wrestlers getting to talk earlier in the night and now having a main event match. Punk's going for the GTS when WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio's music hits and he walks out with Ricardo Rodriguez. Christian hits an impaler DDT for a long two as we go to commercial. End match Christian hits a powerslam counter of the spring board clothesline for a two. Christian goes for The Killswitch, Punk goes for the GTS, Christian goes for the The Killswitch, but takes the running knee and bulldog in the corner. Ricardo runs through the ring and Punk ends up hitting the springboard clothesline for a two. Punk sets up for the Macho Man elbow drop, but Del Rio knocks him off behind the refs back Sheamus' music hits and distracts Christian as he's about to spear Punk. Ricardo runs off as Punk takes advantage hitting the GTS on Christian for the pinfall.

Smackdown Rating: 7/10 or 3.5/5 Stars
Last Week: 7/10 or 3.5/5 Stars
I think this was another solid week for Smackdown. The promos CM Punk/Christian, Miz/Truth after their win and Mark Henry/Big Show were good. The matches were good as well. CM Punk and Christian was a nice end to the show and Randy Orton vs Dolph Ziggler was a great mid-match show as well. Barrett is looking good, as well as Bryan getting a win. I like those results. All in all, solid show, like last week. You don't have to hate yourself for watching Smackdown. Two good weeks in a row now.

That's it for The Smackdown Lowdown. As always suggest to me stuff you'd like me to write on. Also if you wanna add me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter, please do so. Really I don't mind.
