Sheamus vs. Kane may have turned into a Cage Match somehow. That's the dark match. |

Ryback (at least I'm guessing Ryback) appears to have had a match against John Skyler and Michael Frehley (whoever they are) according to Twitter. Or at least someone squashed these two guys.

No time or energy to break down a full report, but I just got back from the show and here's what stands out:
Damn the roster is thin... poor draw tonight, just over half full with entire top level tarped and 3/4 of the hard camera side. Lots of woos.
Seth rollins and ambrose was a really good dark match... rollins was over pretty big.
Best match of the night was Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd vs. Johnny Curtis & Heath Slater. Natalya and tamina also had a decent match on that NXT portion.
Superstars was Tatsu vs. Hunico, and it was quite good as well. More of a grounded match but good small scale storytelling and effective psychology.
Smackdown itself was by and large forgettable. Khali vs Del Rio was poor.... Brodus is so over its sickening... the pre match jobber promos before the Ryback matches are amusing.
Christian and Cody on the Peep Show turned into a good little match between Christian and Ziggler. Dolph is just unbelievably good right now and Christians a damn near ring general by now. I suspect these two could have a great feud.
Kane vs. Sheamus was really good for a big man match. These two have great chemistry, surprisingly good match(es) here. Ended in a no contest I think and then it became a cage match in the dark match. Good stuff, sent people home happy... Arn Anderson was ref in the dark match.
Triple H came out and pedigreed drew and walked right backstage. Yep, that's enough to advertise a special appearance by Hunter, I guess.
Lots of in ring action, tonight... most everything as far as angles was just place holding. Loooong taping, and Smackdown had long stretches of nothing matches, with two good ones thrown in. Some great stuff to be aired on Superstars and NXT, though.

I'm honestly not surprised that this was a South Carolina show. Just feels like a wrestling dead zone.

I heard the Main Event was HHH vs. the SmackDown Roster. Speaking of HHH, apparently he handed out a pedigree tonight. I don't know who the lucky recipient was, however. It was every jobber that Ryback's squashed so far. He stacked them up in a pile, leaped onto the top of it from the top turnbuckle and dropped them all into one massive Pedigree Pillar. |

Well, at least we get Christian vs. Ziggler on the show. That sounds like a damn good PPV match.

Was Damien Sandow on the show? Yeah, he came out during a god awful segment that went like this: they aired a video of the Cole/Cena thing, Cole gets on the mic and starts blathering, then Jim Ross' music hits and out come Hornswoggle dressed as JR acting like Ed Ferrara as Oklahomah and starts laughing at Cole. Out comes Sandow who acts like he's going to go after Swoggle, Tyson Kid comes out, Sandow ends up beating up on Kidd. Nope, no Bryan... I had a feeling, since he's been filling in for Jericho. Some faint "yes" chants... that thing is about dead. And of course, the "what"s were abundant tonight. |
