The Vault matches started a few weeks after the draft, some of them are pretty cool but yeah with so many guys on the roster not being used it does seem a bit of a waste of TV time.

Also, when did Smackdown start doing these stupid "From the Vault" segments? I feel like it is a huge waste of time. Use that time to do something with your current talent.
We've had that from the vault thing for fucking ages, sometimes they show the most ridiculous of matches but recently they've started showing some actual classic ones like punk/jericho. Would rather more effort be put into the show though.

I love how over the years the MITB winners are still referred to as 'Mr. Money in the Bank'... even though that originally came from Rob Van Dam shaking up his whole 'Mr. PPV', 'Mr. Monday Night' thing.

The vault thing couldn't have started a few weeks after the draft or been around for ages, because I was watching Smackdown regularly then.

Recently missed a few weeks, so it must be a fairly recent addition to the show.

Was the match from an old Smackdown ep? I remember them having an excellent match on that show before Kim was moved to Raw.

They've been on the youtube / international version since then. Big Show and Kane were tag champs against the Corre when it started & their match directly followed show vs HHH from the vault. Back to back big show. If you're watching it on TV maybe they haven't been showing it "on air" until now.

They may be showing it on international versions then since I have not seen this vault thing until recently.

It was from an episode of Smackdown yeah (no idea if it was before Gail went to RAW or anything) but there was nothing excellent about this match. Was the definition of a meh, unremarkable, throwaway TV match.

Hmmmm. There was no From The Vault on the version I watched this week.

Not complaining, there usually is and it usually annoys me that it's taking time from pushing new guys/angles.

It's on international versions because of the number of ads.

If you watch Raw live in the UK, because they're not allowed to show as many ads as the US, they just make the Raw logo dance for a while after breaks.

In other words, it's not taking time from new guys/angles.

I never get the From the Vault segments on the Australian version of SmackDown! we get.

Personally, I feel that it was a good show. Sheamus is actually getting really over as a face. Wade Barrett is so good at talking. I hope he and Daniel Bryan get a match at SummerSlam. Bryan's work with Tyson Kidd was really good, too. Josh Mathews did a good job of pointing out how good Kidd is when the commentary drifted from the match too much.

Zack Ryder already has a personalised SmackDown! nameplate. I don't think the guy is getting de-pushed or anything. I like the idea of the WWE giving him air-time on both shows. I can't work out if they want me to like Ryder or not. I think a tag team match pitting Jackson & Ryder against Rhodes & DiBiase would have been better. Ryder could have played the face-in-peril, Ryder could have blind tagged in when Ryder was looking to set Rhodes up for the Torture Rack and been all "I got this, bro!" only for his chat with Zeke to allow Cody to get in a sneaky Cross Rhodes for the pin:

* Cody Rhodes gets another non-title victory over Big Zeke -- setting up their future Intercontinental Title match.

* DiBiase keeps winning, since Rhodes has said he'd bag DiBiase if he lost again.

* Whatever they are doing with Ryder and Jackson gets done.

The only segment that seemed really weird was the six-man tag. They never really explained why JTG was on SmackDown!. And while I do love the way they are trying to use McGillicutty & Otunga as a proper team, and how The Usos have been lately -- it seemed really unnecessary. They could have given more time to Bryan and Kidd.
