Pretty lackluster episode tonight and after all the RAW replays, I don't think I want to hear the term "no confidence" ever again. I did like the opening segment and that they at least tried to explain why the wrestlers were on Smackdown. But as Rick pointed out, Triple H is the COO of the entire WWE, not just RAW. The "wrestlers will appear on Smackdown but not RAW" idea doesn't make much sense. Though at least they also acknowledged that guys like Cena, Orton, Punk, etc weren't out at ringside on Monday during the course of the episode. Del Rio/Sin Cara was pretty standard stuff, but no complaints about Del Rio getting a convincing victory. And I dig evil Sin Cara's new evil-rrific entrance and theme music. Air Boom vs. Ziggler/Swagger was basically a squash, but I liked it for two reasons: one, I have no problem with these two teams feuding. Two, it almost had a Saturday Night's Main Event vibe to it...heel team jumps the face team early, then gets a convincing (and kind of surprising) clean win. Speaking of squashes, there was Beth Phoenix/Alicia Fox. I thought the Big Show promo was a little over the top, just because the guy was coming back from an "ankle injury," not some horrific career-threatening injury or something like that. File Zeke/Mahal in the "who gives a fuck" file. Kind of funny to see the fickleness of the WWE, in that Mahal was brought in getting squash wins and having Khali on his side, to now basically becoming a jobber (not to mention Zeke just went through a similar situation). I don't know what the fuck the point of the Hornswoggle/Booker T stuff was. Tag match was pretty good, but could have used more time. All four guys are capable of better, but it's kind of hard when you barely get over five minutes for a tag match. I can't say I'm excited for Big Show/Henry, but they definitely started it off with a bang tonight. Plus, as good as Orton has been since coming to Smackdown, it is kind of nice to see him out of the world title picture for the moment. I also like the dynamic of Henry now being in a feud with a guy that can go toe to toe with him from a size/physical perspective. Another complaint: Smackdown is almost always good for some decent in-ring time, but tonight was severely lacking. I get the opening promo and all the Big Show stuff ate into a lot of the show time, but otherwise the amount of actual wrestling was pretty sad.
