Any changed opinions. Oddly enough, lots of guys who never show up on RAW who are RAW guys...showed up, even in little segments. And of course Ryder. Mahal, and Slater showed up too, and they haven't gotten Smackdown time recently.
Kind of wierd, yet awesome.

It's okay. I kinda get the feeling the real purpose of the SuperShow is to get more people to tune into SD! as well.

Was it really necessary to fly Orton from France to Ohio so he could wrestle an oh so important match against... Heath Slater?

I thought it was great, hopefully they will get those guys on TV every week.

This was an awesome usage of the supershow. Big main event tag that made a bunch of heels look actually effective; strong pushing of undercard talent like Ryder and McGuilliTunga; angle advancement everywhere; effective use of JTTS losses.
Really, Orton's presence was the only thing that was unnecessary. Otherwise, this was a Raw about Raw guys, with SD guys being used for angles and enhancement - but without making Raw look superior to SD.

I wouldn't mind it if Orton just showed up on RAW for midcard matches with no storyline connections, and keeps his stories on Smackdown.
It works for his characters since he doesn't talk alot.

Honestly, it doesn't seem any different than the last few years to be honest.
Which I'm fine with; not nearly as bad as I was expecting.

If it keeps up like this, I am a very happy person.  I thought that the end of the brand split meant that we would never see Drew again... and suddenly he appeared. Hee. |

I don't like watching Randy Orton dominate on SD. I have to watch it on Raw too?

I don't like watching Randy Orton dominate on SD. I have to watch it on Raw too? I will admit that's a worry of mine, but... I have to admit I didn't mind his match tonight. Yes, Heath lost, and while I would've preferred him to have won, he actually got a couple moves in and looked pretty good, which is more than he's been getting lately (at least in televised matches). If I'm going to see Orton dominating everyone, I'd at least like to see more matches with guys that need to look a bit stronger, as long as they're not squash matches and they get to put up SOME kind of a fight. Then again, I might just be saying all of this out of excitement that Heath was on Raw, haha. |
