Smackdown spoilers for 2/11/16
Show started late due to being in the West Coast this week.
Also a good portion of the roster is out flying to Germany for the upcoming European tour. WWE might have pulled a bait & switch with Lesnar since he was advertised to be at the show tonight but got pulled in favor of showing up for next week's Smackdown show. Quote:

Weird.... they used AJ Style's last TNA theme (at least I think it was last) for a Wyatt Family promo pack....

Guys, I just watched a whole episode of Smackdown for the first time in years, and I did not regret it. (fast forwarded only replays/commercials)

After watching an entire show, still 50/50 about Mauro Renallo..... I like the things he says and the focus he gives to the actual wrestling and wrestlers.... but I still do not like his voice. Still feels like everything he says is in a "disingenuous" way.... like he is "putting on airs"....
So I like what he says.... just not how he says it.... if that makes sense... |

Disappointed to see AJ Styles lose to Jericho. Unless this is going to lead into some sort of PPV payoff I cant see how anyone gains from a Jericho win especially given the somewhat flukey way AJ won there first match.

WM 32 rubber match, mayhaps. Anyway, I'm just glad for an ep of SD! which doesn't have a DQ or no-finish in the main event.

Jericho vs. Styles rematch at Fastlane or a tag match pitting them against each other. Kevin Owens & Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler & AJ Styles or something.

Glad to see WWE are having Jericho and AJ work triple duty on a random SmackDown. Neither man has a ton of mileage on them or anything.

This was the best Smackdown in a long time. Jericho had to win something at some point to not make him seem like a total knob. The Divas match was really good too. So was the Dudleyz promo. Thumbs up all around. Also, I didn't see the R-Truth/Goldust segment. Did I doze off? |

a) a show of respect by the WWE towards them, and that they trust in them to lead a show and b) They're trying to make AJ seem like a pretty big deal, so making him and Jericho the focus of the show makes sense. |

I didn't watch, though it sounds halfway decent. I just have been thinking since this Bryan news broke that it might be good to try and preserve some of these guys that have been wrestling for decades. Have them wrestle yes, and I can even understand the double duty for this show given the story they were going with.
But wrestling three times in one night? It just seems unnecessary. Nothing to do with the booking, more to the "long term" view of trying to keep these dudes healthy. |

The first "match" was interrupted before it actually even started. The bell rang, but they hadn't even locked up when the Social Outcasts interrupted.

That's why I be like 'fuck spoilers'. They can be super misleading, and often not even as detailed as the ones in here.

Watched SD! for AJ Styles. Wasn't disappointed. Mexican Jim Ross can stay, he's good. It feels weird having a play-by-play of the action again

Watched SmackDown for the first time in ages. Man, Mauro Ranallo brings a different energy to proceedings. Jerry Lawler sounded like classic King on commentary as a heel. Hearing Mauro's style makes me think that they could use a more conventional babyface announcer in there to interact with King, but Byron Saxton isn't that guy. I'd still give Ranallo and Lawler a chance on their own.
I trusted Ranallo as a play-by-play guy. He could actually get over as a voice for the company. Michael Cole is great at relaying information to people, but he doesn't plant the seeds for that information to grow into fandom in the listener's minds. Move Cole from commentary and have him do another job within the company. He could even remain on-air as a manager or just doing the WWE.com interviews. Or move him to SmackDown and have Mauro call RAW. |

The women's stuff seemed awkward to me. I hope I'm just being paranoid, but it seemed like Becky was made to look stupid there. I can honestly see them running just Charlotte vs. Sasha at Mania with Becky turning on Sasha afterwards.

How the hell does it make sense to have a semi-retired 40-something year old Jericho go cleanly over AJ Styles? (i.e. a guy that if pushed properly, could be the next John Cena of the company?).
Protect Styles FFS. Not saying that he shouldn't job, but why job him to the aging semi-retired Jericho? Makes no sense. |

AJ isn't going to be the next Cena. He missed that boat awhile ago. It's not that he couldn't have been, it's just that it is too late. He's too old to get that push in the WWE.

Besides, we know he will get the rubber match win over Jericho in an epic match at Fastlane. It's a decent feud to give AJ some quick credibility in the E and having Jericho go over once reminds people he isn't some pushover.

Oh yeah, the baseball slide on the apron. It had the positioning of a basement dropkick, so I think that's forgivable.

Yeah, I'm not bothered by Jericho beating Styles. You need to heat up their program somehow. I mean, I'd be fine with Jericho never being able to get one over Styles, thus getting frustrated and turning heel, but there are numerous ways to skin a cat.
Jericho needs some sort of cred if he's going to fit into a multi-man Ladder Match at WrestleMania 32. |
