WWE Smackdown Review - 5th December 2008

With Raw picking up since the in ring return of Cena and Orton it’s now time for Edge to pick things up on Smackdown following his in ring return at the last PPV.

Good Points

Huge Main Event

The Big Show / Undertaker feud is really going the distance and following their Casket Match they engaged in a cage match to headline Smackdown. To have such a big match on a weekly TV show is a rarity and really showed that the creative team are trying tp ush the boat out.

Edge and Vickie running the show

Was great to see these two baack as the evil couple ruling Smackdown unfairly. The only problem is with Edge booking himself in to easy matches the fans aren’t seeing the best of him and isn’t developing his worth whilst HHH and Jeff Hardy put in quality matches and develop their feud.

Bad Points

Khali kiss segments

The quicker Khali’s contract expires the better. I think WWE would be better off buying Khali out of his contract because his segments are terrible.

MVP under used

Since getting involved in the Scramble title match a few PPV’s ago MVP’s career has taken a nose dive with loss after loss and not having the VIP lounge segment any more to develop his character. They could use him to do so much more and could be a bigger player on Smackdown given the right push.

Overall

When Edge gets himself more involved in main events and quality matches then Smakcodnw will be hittting them out of the park. Good to see both Raw and Smackdown ending the yeaar on a high.

WWE Raw Review - 15th September 2008

With the promise of a steel cage title match I was looking forward to seeing Raw this week, add to this I had the week off work so I could stay up and watch it live for once whilst switching between my beloved Dallas Cowboys.

Good Points

Good Cage Match

We all knew CM Punk wasn’t going to win the title back but the creative team handled it well giving CM Punk a good long match which ended with Jericho falling out of the cage after a CM Punk head butt so it kept CM Punk strong.

Push for Evan Bourne

Great to see Evan getting slingshot to the top as he came in to save Rey Mysterio in his main event bout against Kane. After only two weeks on Raw he is already making a big impact which is great to see, I for one can’t wait to see what they have him doing next week.

Matches lined up for No Mercy

This episode of Raw did a great job in building No Mercy as two matches got announced those being Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels in a Ladder match for the title and JBL vs. Batista for number one contendership.

Bad Points

Burchill push is over

When they have you losing to Jamie Noble when you are a big guy you know your push is over. Word is that Burchill could be close to on his way out so the result was of no rel surprise.

Tommy Dreamer and Jerry Lawler

These two shouldn’t be wrestling on Raw if the WWE want to push a young and fresh product they need to keep these two off the cards.

Overall

Great show one of the best Raw’s of the last few weeks. More like this please Vince.
