Smackdown Recap & Review – “That’s a Nice Stool”
A predictable show with mostly predictable matches (though Kalisto versus Neville stood out), but it’s a good watch.
A predictable show with mostly predictable matches (though Kalisto versus Neville stood out), but it’s a good watch.
The return of the Rock and AJ Styles versus Chris Jericho highlight a good followup to the Royal Rumble.
As a complete show, the 2016 Royal Rumble started strong and lost some steam as it went along. As a match, it seemed reminiscent of years past, which isn’t always a good thing.
This show felt a lot like the previous RAW in that not much new ground was covered, but there were still enough fun segments to make it an entertaining show.
This week Main Event is bookended by two decent tag matches with a very nice, aggressive, quick match between Neville and Breeze in the middle.
As the last RAW before the Royal Rumble, this show felt a little like treading water, but one segment in particular made for an interesting lead-in to one of the most fun events of the year.
Tyler Breeze and Jack Swagger make up for their not-so-great match last week with a much better rematch.
Main Event this week had some nice matches and made a good case for a tag team that could have some potential for a move to the main shows.
This week’s RAW featured more of the same for the most part, but there were a few highlights spread throughout the show.
The first WWE show of 2016 has a couple fine matches that are worth the less than fifteen minutes it takes to watch them.
The last WWE show of the year and the last Smackdown on the SyFy channel brought some entertaining matches that didn’t mean much for stories, but were a pretty good diversion.
The last RAW of 2015 saw the much-needed return of John Cena. Did he help make the show a memorable one? Also, the Rumble starts on this show, Reigns continues to stand around while stuff happens, and Kofi wants to fight children.
The 2015 Slammy Awards are given out in a fairly entertaining show even if it was a little disappointing for a few reasons.
An okay episode of Superstars that featured Ryder versus Slater and Dallas versus Neville.
What was started on RAW continues on Smackdown with Sheamus’ League of Nations and a gimmick-filled, overstuffed main event story line.
Some good matches make this edition of Main Event a show worth watching.
