Sin City Smackdown (EP 660 Reviewed)

D-Bry would come down to the ring saying that Big Show was not sorry for what he had done to AJ, he stated that he was bitter due to his 45 seconds as Champion. He stated that AJ's career maybe over due to Big Show's actions. He said that he would dedicate his match against Mark Henry to her. He stated that he is not afraid of him. He stated that Big Show was not on Smackdown, and said for Show to do the decent thing and Quit.

Backstage Mark Henry would blame Teddy for AJ's assault, before he made Teddy spin the roulette wheel. It would land on a lumberjack match. He stated that D-Bry would enter the hall of pain.


As the ring side filled up with superstars.It was time for the World Heavyweight Championship match. Mark Hnery would throw his T shirt at Daniel. He then pushed him on to the apron. Daniel turned to the Lumberjacks and told them not to touch him.Mark would completely  dominate D-Bry, and stop him building momentum. Bryan would fall outside, and be quickly returned to the ring. Where Mark would continue his assault. D-Bry attempted some offense with strikes to the knee and corner offense. Daniel would be thrown off of Mark and outside where he would return. Mark would then throw Daniel outside, wheere he would attack DiBiase, before being attacked and put back in. Mark would be knocked outside, where the entire Lumberjacks would attack him. D-Bry would kick a few, where they would return the attack on him. Mark would beat off Bryan's attackers, and attempt to win, but the entire lumberjacks would beat down Mark, the lumberjacks would then attack each other while D-Bry walked out. Teddy caught up with him and announced a triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship, between him, Mark Henry and Big Show. In the Ring Sheamus would clear the ring leaving him the last man standing

I am definintely looking forward to this, I expected a DQ to be rung when the 4 lumberjacks attacked Bryan in the ring, I never expected the lumberjacks to attack one another. But it was a Royal Rumble promotion, allow I enjoyed. Well done.  


With smackdown in Las Vegas, we saw a roulette wheel. As Teddy and Aksana were flirting. Cody would intrude to spin the roulette and stated that he was the last hope for his family. It landed on a players choice. Cody then picked out Hornswaggle as his opponent, after Ezekiel and Santino were looked over.

The match between Cody and Hornswaggle not start as Cody would shove Hornswaggle, outside before the match started. Justin Gabriel came down to aid Hornswaggle. Justin challenged Cody to a match.Cody agreed to it as long as it was a non-title match. Cody and Gabriel would exchange strikes and wrestling holds. Cody would hit a throat trust to gain control. Hornswaggle would watch as his "Angel Gabriel" (See what I did there, High-lerious) would be dominated with numerous light holds. Gabriel would counter a highjack hold and attempt a 450 splash. Cody would escape, Gabriel tried numerous pin manouveres, and high flying moves but only scored 2 counts, after a hot shot, Cody would land the Cross Rhodes on Gabriel for the win.

This was a good promotion match for Cody although I expected Gabriel to win, I look forward to Cody being in the Rumble, Now I do hope he wins, he would make an epic Heel Champion

PeR would face The Usos in a tornado match. For those who don't understand wrestling lingo, Tornado tag team means no tags are required. The Usos would take control of PeR, with multiple tag moves. After Primo would eliminate Jay Uso, by tossing him outside. Primo and Epico would team up on Jimmy. Jimmy would counter, and Jay would hoip back in, this gave the Usos the advantage. The Usos would both hit a running hip attack on PeR, Rosa would distract Jay Uso, while Jimmy Uso hit a high cross body. The pin would be interupted and Primo would land a back stabber on Jimmy for the win.

I am so glad, it does appear that WWE are following my advice, keep it up, restore the tag team division to it's rightful place. The match was amazing, I am glad they brought a tornado tag match back, it's been so long, so long. If you read my review of NXT, I suggested the Usos should become major competitors for the tag team titles, however Air Boom were champions at the time, I again said a heel tag team would need to take the titles, and they have. WWE you are right to read these blogs, as I will provide you with hints and such. 

WWE would show a from the vault, of CM Punk vs R-Truth. This I believe is to promote CM Punk in the WWE championship match, and also to promote R-Truth in the Royal Rumble match. If you never saw the match, CM Punk was heel at the time and would be distracted by the referee's slow count and lose to a schoolboy pin.

Backstage the flirting continued between Aksana and T-Lo. Sheamus would interrupt ot find out his match. This would be a tables match against Wade Barrett.

Wade and Sheamus would exchange powerful strikes as the bell rang. The in ring didn't last long as the brawl lead outside. Barrett would set up a table, but this allowed Sheamus to gain control of the match, after bouncing Barretts head of the announce table, he set up a table, and tried to put Barrett through it, but was reversed and Barrett took control.Barrett, had Sheamus on the apron, he hit a running big boot, but Sheamus did not fall into the table, Barrett attempted to hit a suplex, but would be countered into the Irish Hand Grenades followed by a running Forearm, however this sent Barrett over the table. Barrett kicked a table into Sheamus's face, as he attempted to bring it into the ring, this gave Barrett control. Barrett set up the table in the ring, attempted a spinebuster, but Sheamus countered and built up momentum. Sheamus placed Barrett on the table, and went up top. Barrett rolled off and attempted to hit a superplex, after a counter, Sheamus would have to jump over Barrett and the table, but he quickly gained control with the Irish Curse backbreaker. Sheamus was looking to win, however a distraction from Jinder Mahal, cost Sheamus the match.

Post match Jinder would attempt to put Sheamus through another table, but Sheamus would counter and hit the Brogue kick, this qould be followed by a good ol' ECW sheamus running spinebuster into a table.

This was by far the best match of the night, Wade and Sheamus are my picks going into the Rumble, but who will return for this years?

Ted Dibiase would compete in a flag match against Hunico. Hunico would nail Ted with numerous strikes, but would be countered with a facebuster, DiBiase would attempt to get the flag but prevented by Hunico, likewise Hunico was prevented by Tef DiBiase. After tossing DiBiase, Hunico was inches away from claiming the flag, DiBiase would push Hunico into Camacho. DiBiase would crawl to his flag. Hunico would attempt to prevent DiBiase, But DiBiase would hit a full nelson drop and claim the American Flag for the win.

I wasn't surprised by this match, but was amazing nonetheless. DiBiase and Hunico have great in ring ability like Eddie Guerrero, they also have a nice little rivalry. The only thing is those stupid bikes they cycle to the ring, can't they drive?

WWE would have a dance off between the funkasaurus Brodus Clay and Vickie Guerrero.
This would be won by Brodus, who obviously was better, Vickie would show her moves again, William Regal would come down, asking people not to laugh at Vickie, William would attempt to leave with with Vickie, but was issued a challenge by Brodus. As William was getting down, Brodus would hit his renamed finisher, Aww Funky.

Funkasaurus, Brodus has a great gimmick going on, at least this made a change to a jobber match,

Drew McIntyre would be fired by Teddy Long, however his assistant, Santino challenged him to a match, Teddy stated this was his last chance. The match would be a blind fold match. Both competitors would be blindfolded, including Santino's cobra, They both staggled around attempting to hit each other.  Drew would spear Santino outside, and would hit the ring post thinking it was Santino. Drew would glance a peak at but would miss. Santino would then hit his cobra, as he used the cheering of the crowd to locate Drew.

All I can say about this is. LOL
