There's a video up on the FanNation YouTube account. Titus is all "My kids, man". Titus is awesome. Just noticed that Darren Young is crying. Such an awesome segment.

LOVED it. I already laughed at so many spots,but the moment Del Rio threw the bear at Cena...I completely lost it.
Last year's Christmas Smackdown was good too,but this year's was just amazing. Only problem was the amount of recaps,but then again,I guess that was intentional to add to the ''seriousness'' of the situation. Kudos to everyone included in those segments that managed not to crack up.

I usually don't like storylines like this, but I loved how they just went so over the top with it.
SANTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

I think this storyline is an example that stories are much better when the wrestlers themselves are also having fun.

I was impressed that they made the annoyingly loud heart rate monitor beeping have a payoff in the end. During every segment, I'd think to myself, if Striker is outside the door and we can hear the monitor beeping this loud, how loud must they want me to believe it's beeping in the room? It was annoying me until the Jingle Bells, then I got why they did it. That was cool.

Even little things like Teddy saying "Hey, you don't know me like that" to Brad Maddox was hilarious. There’s no such thing as elves.

I love that Foley went all out to look like Santa instead of slapping a cheap wig and beard on and calling it a day.
And I love that Bryan now seems to be trying as hard as humanly possible not to smile when he comes out.

It's mostly just kids that are in that awkward phase where you think you have to distance yourself from everything that kids like in order to be an adult . They'll understand, eventually. Let's not be too hard on them - IT'S CHRISTMAS!

I liked it. Only thing is, it pretty much kills Del Rio's face turn, between Santa booking him against the top face in the WWE and Otunga defending him in his promo.
Maybe if they did a Santa Clause-type angle, where Del Rio becomes Santa (and Ricardo as his elf), giving out presents to the rest of the fans.

If he were a heel, he would've made the troll face after running Santa over. I think a heel Del Rio would've bragged about incapacitating Santa rather than try to explain himself. Del Rio will unleash his AGGRESSION on Otunga for trying to speak for him when he didn't ask for it.

I couldn't stop laughing for the first half hour. So ridicolous and over the top but brilliantly done. The teddy bear was my favourite bit though I was nearly crying with laughter.

It's professional wrestling in a nutshell. Just so ridiculous, yet so damn fun. and I didn't see all of it - will watch it in its entirety when I get home. Was at my parents' for this and actually got my mother (who HATES wrestling) to watch the Miracle on 34th Street Fight.

I loved it. Like people have said, it's exactly what wrestling is all about. Though I lost it when Ricardo handed Cena a gift and Del Rio looked at him and said "A pie? A PIE??". His reaction made it. Props to the crowd for the "You killed Santa" chants too. Great fun.

I said it before and I'll say it again.
Everything that lead to Ricardo saying the words "IT'S A BAZOOKA" was the greatest thing in the history of our sport.
