All these shows read profoundly the same IMO.

More the same than usual I mean!

Enjoying this show so far, Big E catching Dolph was impressive if a little odd. Miz v Dolph was a pretty good match, Miz is less annoying as a face (in the ring, not when he talks) but not exactly a stand out so far in his new role.

Barretts new finisher is a big improvement on the first one he had. Also Cesaro's finisher is more impressive when done quickly.

I know it came up in another thread but Santino really is wasted as a low card guy.

JBL makes smackdown worth watching (and listening too obviously)

LOL at Daniel Bryan wanting to be called The Dazzler.

how bad was the big show when he hit ricardo back stage, he did it so slow and badly you can see him not connecting at all and slapping his arm to create the sound. botch a lot

JP Liz V1

So how many "try out matches" is Maddox getting?

Big Show fears Ricardo is what I got from that segment!

I am just holding out for a Ricardo Rodriguez unveiling as El Locale angle sometime next year hopefully!
