What a poor season this has been. Lets hope it goes out with a bang.
There was a big video package putting over the season and the three remaining competitors. It really does not have a “big finale” feel. Anyone with half a notion about pro wrestling knows Kaval is the only one with a chance [...]

Pre show thoughts: I just remembered this show will feature talent from all shows. Never, in the 8 year history of the draft, has that caused me to groan as much as it does tonight. Anyone from Smackdown will either be a complete momentum kill for the show, particularly if it’s any of the newer, [...]

Welcome to the Smackdown review, I’m Joe aka Townie of Townie and The Griff, who can be heard hosting this week’s Chairshot Podcast on Saturday night on chairshot.podbean.com.
Smackdown kicks off with a rematch of the World Heavyweight Title match from Summerslam as Rey and Kane face off in a No-DQ bout, which ends in a [...]

They opened with a video package of last week’s shenanigans. For those who missed it; Percy and Husky were cut, and Husky and Cody beat up the remaining stars to close the show. I am perplexed by Joe Hennig’s presence in this final three.
As usual Jamie Keyes introduces the pros and rookies to open the [...]

The show opened with a great little comedy segment. It was Josh Mathews and Michael Cole testing the equipment for tonight’s rookies challenge. It was a deal where you hit a punching bag as hard as you can and it measures your strength. It’s like something you’d see in an arcade 10 years ago. Michael [...]

They recapped last week’s show. It was all news to me as I haven’t watched this crappy show for weeks.
One thing that hasn’t changed is Striker introducing the goons to open the show. They all get tepid reactions that were made even less noticeable by the theme music playing over their entrances. To be fair, [...]

The ever interminable trio of King, Cole and Striker are on the talkie tonight.
Smackdown Money in the Bank match: Kane def. Drew McIntyre, Matt Hardy, Christian, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler and Big Show
After clearing the ring early, Big Show broke the first rung of the ladder with his foot, before swatting another rung [...]

Go home show for the ladder match PPV. Lets see how it goes. Although to sum up how uninteresting this show was, I’ll just note that the biggest talking point on Tuesday morning was Jim Ross being edited out of the WWE opening video package. Replaced by Michael Cole of course. Mr David Meltzer reported [...]

This show is like washing the dishes. It’s a chore. It’s not even a big chore. It’s not a big labour that I detest or that I find hugely annoying. It’s just something I have to do. And part of the displeasure of this show is the waiting and the anticipation. I can’t sit on [...]

They recap Titus O’Neill being eliminated then the “brooding, serious NXT theme” plays. OHHHHHHHHHHHH IF WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS…!!!
Then they play the somehow even worse theme; Wild and Young.
Show opens in typical fashion, with Matt Striker in the ring addressing the WWE Universe. He mentions the winner getting a PPV title shot. With all [...]
