I was expecting a heel turn by Orton or Christian maybe at Over The Limits if their match happens

Bryan V Sin Cara should be good

I wish they'd put the IC belt on Code or Bryan instead of Wade

And why would Wade Barrett challenege him to a title match when he is the champ

starviewadams

Its was teased since extreme rules & happened on Smackdown last week in a weak beatdown. Bryan is going nowhere at the moment he's just a jobber for the stars. I'm not saying his job is at risk but he's lost a lot of momentum this year thanks to idiotic booking(his feud with Punk never happened,he got bumpted from the Mania card & I doubt a heel turn is coming wwe has damn all faces as it is).

JP Liz V1

Bryan should be feuding with Barrett for the IC title, they have history and Barrett needs a decent singles feud imo

Damn sure ain't going to get that with Jackson vs Barrett.

JP Liz V1

I was hoping at some stage we see a Punk/Bryan feud or Punk/Barrett feud both were kinda teased shame Punk wasnt drafted to SD

Eire-Dearg

Intrigued by the Chavo/Sin Cara thing.

Why were the lights all dark for his match against Tyson kidd last week?

Big difference between jobbing and losing a match, let's wait until we actually see the match before proclamming the j word.

Agreed. Besides, the spoiler says Chavo distracted Bryan to help Sin Cara win. Surely if anything, that makes Sin Cara look weaker than Bryan

starviewadams

But it doesn't even make sense to have two faces (Cara and Bryan) facing each other for no reason,Bryan lost last week in his 1st appearance on SD! to Sheamus and this week he loses again to Cara,senseless booking for someone as talented as Danielson imo.

Lord TSC

I like the idea of Cara vs Bryan to be honest. Has potential to be an awesome match. Not happy with the result but then I'm slowly resigning myself to the fact Bryan will never get a decent angle again....

Two faces wrestle to find out who the better man is and put on a good match, simples.

Sheamus beating Bryan makes sense also from a size and history background, plus both men looked great from it. Far from jobbing.

starviewadams

Yeah but it's not even ''two faces wrestle to find out who's best'' he's being used as a set up guy in the Cara/Chavo feud,basically as a glorified jobber,ie Tyson Kidd territory.Had no problem with Sheamo beating Bryan last week because at least there was a bit of back story to that.

WWE makes no sense sometimes,no talent muscle guys like Ezekiel Jackson get a push and a guy like Danielson gets treated like crap for having the audacity to have been popular before he entered the ''WWE Universe''.

Handsome Bob

I hate this bollox as well, just hurry up and turn one of them!

dsmythy

Decent smackdown this week IMO. I recommend a viewing.

Seems to be part of his gimmick.

Eire-Dearg

So this is not Sin Cara in the ring right now?

MAJR

Who else would love to Kharma squash Michael Cole?

Eire-Dearg

Sick of these Kharma things, this was the worst yet.

D2D

Sin Cara/Bryan was just incredible for a TV match on SD. I really want a Bryan/Cara feud after that

Slater slightly goaded him into defending the title, Barrett was just making the challenge for a match. Usual half-truth spoiler results.

Good match but them two for 20 minutes would be truly incredible,its the 1st time I seen what the fuss was about Sin Cara.The match was well paced but Chavo's run in and crappy commentary annoyed me(You want to see Bryan vs Cara after that not Chavo vs Cara).Speaking of bad commentary I had to laugh when Booker said right there two times in a row during the limp main event.

everyone can't get a push at the same time, bryan had held the us belt and has wrestled on a number of ppvs, was involved in the biggest storyline of last year, got alot of exposure on nxt season 1, played a big role in the main-event of summerslam 2010

has jackson even had a ppv match yet??

Smoshi

The Corre ting is a dud imho. they ruined barret after the hole nexus ting. decent SD! tho. Lookin interestin with Chavo & Sin cara

Christian produced a Herculean effort to somehow pull a good match out of the overmuscular dud.This happened at a Rumble ppv about 18 months ago.

That was actually the match that fully proved to me he can carry a World title, he was a miracle worker there.

Dr.Evil

Is DiBiase a face now? I didn't see the show, would be interesting though. He needs something to give his career a kick in the right direction, he seems like a natural heel, but they might as well try it. Not as if he's doing anything else.

glenjamin

For anyone that missed it. Awesome TV match.

Imagine this a couple of years down the road at Mania :eek: Sin Cara vs Heel Danielson for the rights to the greatest wrestler in the world right now :cool:

Not a fan of having the lights turned down for Sin Cara's matches. I think it's cool that he's not talking. Reminds me of when Kane first debuted. Liking the idea of putting him with Chavo. Be interesting to see where this leads too.

JP Liz V1

They should just end the Corre stable completely and put Barrett in a decent singles feud with someone like Bryan for the IC title

If Gabriel and Slater bailed on Barrett at Over the Limit I wouldn't be surprised.

GTR63

The ratings for this show are interesting

SD doing terrible numbers with Orton as champ pleases me.

So much for those Orton draws excuses either a lot of people on here are artists or the word "draw" is one of the most overused words in Pro Wrestling Threads.

I agree. Although he's been trying much harder since being drafted at getting himself over as a face; i can't stand the boring, whining, precious c**t. He's been overexposed over the last 4 years facing Cena and Trips 8,000 times and still looks the same and cuts the same awful slow promo he has done since then. At least he's got a knacker beard now! Time to grab a few tinnies and head down the park.

I know Orton's title win was more about Christian's loss, but if Christian ends his feud with Orton without regaining that title; I'll (remain) done with SmackDown. It was clear Christian was the fan's favourite at Extreme Rules and jobbing out a new 1st time world champion --especially an over longtime babyface veteran-- in 3 days is a slap in the face to every fan. It couldn't have waited until the next unsuccessful B-PPV?

In reality, the word "draw" has meant nothing in wrestling since the territories. Whilst obviously the top guys do make a difference to ratings, it is mildly overstating things to place all the blame or all the credit for a few weeks ratings on one person.

Not really when that one person is far and away the most important, heavily pushed person on that show.

I did say the top guys make a difference. But it is only a few weeks and the draw factor is over stated.
