I've got no internet so I'm typing this on my phone. Google's Android browser seems to hate Google's Blogger interface, so I'll keep this relatively short.
Very 'meh' night on Smackdown. Sheamus vs. Chris Jericho was fine, but nothing special. MOTN was probably Big Show squashing Drew McIntyre, face Big Show dominating people is fun and Drew sold it really well. Mark Henry squashing Yoshi Tatsu wasn't even substantive enough to be fun.
- Santino cowering in fear from Kofi's pyro was a great bit. The Rudos of Raw vs. Teddadore's Army is still my favorite feud going into Wrestlemania, though I remain unimpressed with Team Long so far. I like Kofi but he doesn't set my world on fire, and unless they're going to be having a Verbal Debate I could care less about R-Truth. (Man oh man, I would pay money to see an R-Truth vs. David Otunga verbal debate.) They have three more spots on Team Teddy, I hope they fill it out with some interesting folks, like Zack Ryder, Hornswoggle, the Funkasaurus, a surprise return, or a face-turn.
- The best character work going on right now in WWE is the Daniel Bryan-AJ storyline. It would be so easy to go overboard with something like this, and play Bryan as an over-the-top angry abusive piece of shit. Playing it more subtly like this is far more effective, IMO. Bryan was suuuuuuper creepy in that first promo segment. This storyline was the best thing on the show, until AJ and Nikki Bella tried to wrestle a match. OMG that match, I think they both botched about 90% of the moves they attempted. I don't remember AJ being that bad in the ring last summer when she was teaming with Kaitlyn and Natalya.
- They showed surprisingly little of the Rock-Cena stuff from Raw. I'm glad they did because I thought it was crap, but I wonder what their reason was for downplaying it like that?
