Anyone know if Josh Matthews is still on commentary, or if he's out selling Brock's beatdown? The only person who's reporting on the show hasn't mentioned anything about commentary. |

Well, this episode sounds completely unwatchable. Once I see Swiss Death, I'm out.

Hold up, Sheamus winning means he has momentum going into the PPV, so does that mean he's losing?
EDIT: Well, Bryan standing tall at the end means Sheamus is winning right?

I enjoyed both SD tapings I went to in the past two years more than the RAW I went to, but obviously SD doesn't have the star power that RAW does. I was just saying it's not like every single week SD is half-empty. They packed the arena almost completely full a couple months ago in Tulsa and they've had mostly decent-good turnouts in other places. Obviously Grand Rapids doesn't care about SD all that much, though. I've been to three SmackDown tapings since 2008, and all of them have left me feeling that I'd wasted my money. It's fun, but not $75 seat fun. The SD I went to in January 2011 was free but a fun show, the RAW I went to in August 2011 was decent and free but the best show of the three I've gone to in the past few years was a SD/NXT taping a couple months ago I paid over $90 for (two tickets). Maybe I would be more upset if I paid for the best seat, but both SD shows were fun and I thought the wrestling, atmosphere and overall experience at the show a couple months ago was well worth the money I paid and the person I brought had a good time, too. |

Apparently, Cesaro vs Kidd was a solid match.

That's the end of the Smackdown taping. No appearance by Christian, who was advertised.
After the Smackdown taping, they set up a bonus dark match for the live crowd.
Dark Match: Randy Orton & IC champion Big Show beat Daniel Bryan & Cody Rhodes.
