Some quick notes on tonight’s Super Smackdown show for Super NES:
– Yeah, that’s right. Open the show with a John Cena promo to make me tune out early. On top of that, you have Ricardo Rodrigues talk… boo. I didn’t even watch the Cena/Barrett match in its entirety. Only the tail end where Cena wins…
– By the way, Josh Matthews, you’re an idiot. “An amazing concept – Raw AND Smackdown superstars together!” WE JUST HAD THAT FUCKING SHOW YESTERDAY! Forget all the other times when superstars from opposite brands visit each other. Even THIS year! For fuck’s sake, man!
– Sin Cara beats Daniel Bryan Danielson in an okay match. Amazingly, Sin Cara didn’t botch his entrance… and I guess he’s a heel now because he just kicked Daniel Bryan Danielson down… yeah, way to push your MiTB winner.
– Oh no, a contract signing featuring HHH talking. RUN!
– Funny note; despite being supposedly portrayed as a monster Punjabi heel, the Great Khali is still wearing his Punjabi Playboy pants… yeah.
– Crap, they’re showing the trailer for HHH’s latest crappy movie. I think this video sums up the whole thing… and this was a full year or so before the movie’s release. Dang.
– Yeah, the steel cage match… great match for a TV main event. Loved the fake-out by Christian towards the end there. I mean, the ending was a foregone conclusion, but even so, it didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the match. For that, it was good enough. It’s a shame this feud’s over, though. I’d much rather see these guys headline several more PPVs than sit through one Mark Henry main event.
Overall, this was a much better show than last night’s RAW SuperSnore… not really saying much, though.
However, I now fear that CM Punk might be on the path to burial thanks to the involvement of Big Lazy and McSon-In-Law. I might shed some more thoughts on this in a future vlog, but suffice it to say that I’m now getting Summerslam 2010 vibes of Cena overcoming the odds when he really shouldn’t have. And it’s already bad enough that CM Punk is starting to look like a chump against a 50-year-old man who can barely walk without tearing a quad or two.
