Didn't AJ do a stretcher job when Big Show knocked her down, leading to that crazy Bryan berating? "SHE'S ONLY 95 POUNDS, YOU'RE 500 POUNDS, YOU BASTARD!" EDIT: Sure did. With bonus crying Big Show. Ahh, crying Big Show...no matter how many times you see it, it's never not funny.

See the Swagger/Cesaro match highlights exactly what I think is wrong with WWE booking. Did it really need a clean decisive finish? Couldn't they have had Rusev interfere, causing a DQ and thus making everybody look good rather than giving Cesaro another defeat coming off a fantastic performance against Cena on Raw? On that same token, though, Cesaro decisively got the upper hand in basically every encounter he had with Swagger following the team break up. Sounds like a hard fought match, there isn't really any shame in losing when it isn't like it's going to f*** up Cesaro down the line. They either give him a program or don't. "Yeah, but Swagger beat him on a Smackdown!" isn't going to be most fans' reactions if he turns face or otherwise gets out of his holding pattern. Just seems odd timing when he has pushed Cena the distance on Raw, and just two days later he loses to somebody who, despite the recent push, has been effectively a jobber for the past few years. Why not use Del Rio who is going nowhere fast to get Swagger over?

Poor poor Cesaro. Nothing against Swagger but he's only over because of national identity in a storyline about nationalism between the U.S and Russia. Also people love catchphrases. People always say things like this. 'He's only over because of x, y and z!' So? He's over. Until he is not over, keep using him, because he is over. Who cares WHY he's over?

People always say things like this. 'He's only over because of x, y and z!' So? He's over. Until he is not over, keep using him, because he is over. Who cares WHY he's over? It never ceases to amaze me how simple this formula is, and how often WWE (and wrestling promoters in general) screw this up. If some nobody musician comes out of nowhere with a huge-selling song, even if it turns out to be their only hit, record companies fall over themselves to get as much out of that performer as possible. A previously small-time actor wins an Oscar? They're headlining movies for as long as they're hot. If someone's over, push them accordingly. Doesn't matter if it's because they're over because of strong booking, a catchphrase, a gimmick, a YouTube show, a pre-existing fanbase, or because of impressive performances - just capitalise on it!

Who would it be if that happens? Which NXT guy fits for that at the moment. If a new member does come about, I'd take the wildest stab in the dark and say that it would be Brad Maddox, because of the video's he's recently been posting after his whole "cave" situation. Something about the way he does these, the way he talks, reminds me of Bray: Well I don't know about you but I a completely sold on this Maddox
This could be the best thing that happened to him honestly, if WWE capitalizes on it he is a strong Midcard talent.
I hope the Rosebuds find him and he just skins them all...

* Dolph Ziggler vs. Alberto Del Rio with The Miz on commentary is next. Miz interrupts the match by standing on the announce table and mocks Ziggler. Ziggler goes after him but Miz gets away. Del Rio takes advantage and hits the cross armbreaker on Ziggler for the win. Dolph Ziggler is to getting distracted by his rival on commentary and losing as to Sting is to getting betrayed. It's happened so many times this year. The funny part is, didn't he recently take advantage of Fandango getting distracted? You'd think he'd know about those things by now.

Crying Big Show or crying Tommy Dreamer. I don't know what to laugh at more. Big Show, because Dreamer has actually cried at appropriate times before, unlike Show. Yeah, but according to Dreamer, wrestling cures cancer.

So the divas are the most interesting part of Smackdown. If I never see Dolph job to ADR again, it will be too soon.
When is Del Rio's contract ending again? I have a feeling he ain't renewing.

I have a feeling that WWE's current booking of Del Rio is done in such a way to keep him happy. Wasn't he one of the wrestlers who was complaining about his spot in the company? Wouldn't surprise me if they have him continue to win, possibly another world championship reign, and more wins just to keep him around. Especially since it doesn't look like Mysterio will be coming back and Sin Cara(Hunico obviously) isn't over anymore.

Del Rio would be fine if they gave him a damn character.
Have him be a mexican Million Dollar man or something, Have him rub his wealth in the peoples faces (Hell have him rip off the humilating a fan for money stuff), With the economy the way it is he'd probably be a good heel

I definitely don't disagree with you. Him, much like Orton, are the heel versions of Cena where you know neither will lose a match it seems. But we know how stubborn Vince is and will do whatever it takes to keep Del Rio happy. Just to give the fans who could careless about him the big middle finger he'd probably book Del Rio to beat Bryan too. Of course, I'd like to think Vince isn't THAT stupid.
