Smackdown - 27/05/11
Huh.
Opening promo pissed me off. Why is it okay to give Orton a title shot based purely on the crowd's cheering but it's not okay to do that with Christian? Whatever happened to "giving the fans what they want"? Fuck you.
Sin Cara V Chavo Guerrero. Predictable outcome with Sin Cara winning again but I managed not to fall asleep or skip bits like I usually do. They must have done something right then. New goal in my life is to get one of Cody Rhodes' paper bags. He lost to Daniel Bryan and then proceeded to beat the crap out of him and put a paper bag on his head. Lucky guy.
Heath Slater V Ezekiel Jackson. Who predicted Zeke would win by DQ? Well done. It's getting predictable (I'm using this word a lot, aren't I?) but it was an okay~ match. I'm not a fan of this sudden glorification of Zeke. I love The Corre.
Kane V Khali. Sorry but I couldn't watch this. So, so boring. However, after Khali lost, Jinder Mahal turned up and then I started paying attention. I swear, those promos in Punjabi never get old. If you don't know what they said, simply put, it was basically, "Hold on a minute. You lost again? You're still with Ranjin Singh after what I told you? Are you fucking dumb? If I'd been with you, you'd have won. Get rid of him." They amuse me so much ahaa.
The whole Booker/Cole segment was pointless. Though the contrast in Booker's character compared to him on Tough Enough is hilarious.
Kaitlyn & AJ w/ Natalya V Alicia Fox & Tamina. It started off unusually decent. I thought AJ and Kaitlyn were pretty good. You know, the whole wrestling aspect actually being present... The whole Kaitlyn/Dolph/Vicki conversation amused me though, haha. Good times. ;) Very anti-climatic (and generally crap) win from Alicia Fox & Tamina.
The main event. Sheamus pinned Christian for the win. Incredibly annoying. Orton interfered after Henry shoved him, which distracted the ref. whilst Christian attempted to pin Sheamus. After arguing with the ref., he got a boot in the face and lost the match. Fucking gutted. I knew the outcome having caved in to spoilers but it still took the piss. The fact that he's having to lose to people like that... No offence to Sheamus but to me, he's still a newbie and all and random pushes are really annoying. A decent match. Nothing special.
Can we please have a heel turn for Christian now?
