Smackdown SPOILERS - 2.28.14
 

Henry has to be the biggest guy Cesaro has hit the Neutralizer on.

Instead of asking if I should tape this, I'm going to ask in the form of one of my awesome haikus.

Should I tape Smackdown?
My VCR is ready
Is this any good?

More in depth description of Batista's promo from the front page...

So... Orton face turn coming?

I have no idea what the fuck is going on right now and I'm not sure WWE does either.

Orton saves a baby from a burning building. Instant face turn.

so apparently somebody literally shat on the floor during this taping

No. That's WWE's creative team.

ZING! and such.

If I had to guess, its either just the WWE/Batista venting against the fans for trying to ruin their plans or teasing the possibility of a triple threat occurring.

Seems pretty obvious that it's setting up for Bryan to be in the match as well.

And WTF somebody actually shitting on the floor? Seriously what the fuck?

Fixed.

Was Smackdown near Maine? Maybe someones diaper leaked.

The fans tried real hard to shit on Batista but only managed to get it on the floor. At least they tried.

So Christian and Sheamus are officially feuding? Christian and Del Rio beating up Sheamus together makes me think the WWE might do some sort of large "get everyone a spot" tag team match at WrestleMania. Christian & Del Rio lead a bunch of heels against Sheamus and his faces.

Blah, blah, blah. Ooooooooooooh. Shield/Wyatts rematch on Raw next week.

He got Khali before.

I think it's pretty obvious at this point that Daniel Bryan will get inserted into the main-event somehow.

I know about Khali. I am talking weight wise. Henry has like 60 lbs on Khali.

i will like watching him spin henry i guess the show is next

Its more obvious that they realize that Bats wont get any face pops so he had to go heel.

And since Orton is the real deal main event he will go face as be replaced by Bats as the Corporate Heel.

Seeing as HHH and Stephanie have been busting his shit for months, this is FAR more likely that any "obvious" Bryan ideas that are anything but.

God I hope not! Those tag matches are usually awful. Give 'em a Money in the Bank ladder match. Adds more spectacle to 'Mania, and at least gives them a meaningful match. As opposed to the default "too many part-timers taking our spots so we get a crappy tag match where everyone hits their finisher and the match is done" match.

Sheamus, Kofi, Big E and Cesaro vs Christian, Del Rio, Miz and Swagger at WM BOOK IT

I really don't see it happening at this point. They wouldn't have had Bryan say "Me vs. HHH is what everyone REALLY wants to see!"

That being said, if Orton vs Batista is locked in, they could really push Batista as the "lol Fuck you guys, Daniel Bryan couldn't lace my boots, he's a pussy. Deal with it!" detestable character that represents everything the smarks loathe to the point where they would actually root for Orton to win the match at WrestleMania. Have Orton break away from The Authority and have them back Batista and bring back badass anti-hero face champion Orton (BY HAVING HIM ACTUALLY BE A BADASS AND NOT LOSE ON A WEEKLY FUCKING BASIS). Have him keep getting one up on Batista (which the marks are gonna eat up as they grow to hate Batista and everything he stands for more and more with each realistic promo on how guys like Bryan aren't A+ players like him). That's really your only hope of getting the crowd invested in the outcome of the match.

So use Daniel Bryan's popularity to get a "more marketable" star some traction, like they did with Big Show? #BusinessAsUsual

It worked for Big Show.

For about... 2 weeks.

Then they butchered it.

I'm not saying it didn't work, just that it's a little annoying.

Makes sense. Outside of a Money In The Bank what do guys like Ziggler, Christian, Sheamus, Del Rio, etc. do?

Kinda interested in what's happening with Cody/Goldust. They were a really hot team off the back of the stuff with The Authority (even if Dusty is still to get his job back!) who then dropped the belts and faded into obscurity. I think a feud between the two leading to Mania would have been great but I also think rushing it in 5 weeks would undermine how personal they could make it. A feud between the pair should be reminiscent of Bret/Owen and not lost in the shuffle of all these other break-ups (PTP, Real Americans, potentially The Shield).
