Smackdown Review 2/13/09

Welcome to the Slingshot Suplex Smackdown Review for this friday the 13th of February. This week brings us the first appearance of Jeff Hardy after the malicious turn attack on him by his brother Matt at the Royal Rumble, revealing that indeed it was him who was Jeff's attacker all along. So here we go.


Edge and Vickie make their way to the ring to kickoff the show. My mind wants to say Edge retains this sunday but if u read my Raw review from this past week, you see that there might be a different plan of attack for WWE heading into Wrestlemania that doesnt involve Edge in the title picture. Anywho, Edge claims hes not 100 percent going into this weekend. Saying that Taker injured his neck last week with the tombstone. Mentions Big Show punching him. Vickie's turn to talk now. Huge heat. Vickie sais Edge wont compete tonight in order to avoid further injury. Amazing heat from the crowd although its hard to tell how much is being pumped in with the edit machine. Weeeeeeeeeelllll its the Big Show. Big Show comes out and tells Edge come this Sunday he'll have No Way Out. If Edge drops the title this sunday look for this match to happen at mania. Bickering back and forth continues before Vickie interrupts and sais that Big Show will take on Kozlov, Taker, and Triple H later tonight in a fatal 4-way match. Pretty good opening segment.

For those of u who didnt read my Raw Review. My theory is this. Orton reminded everyone monday that he gets to choose what champion he faces at Mania. Then later they showed Stephanie talking on the phone to someone and by the way she was talking, i get the feeling it was Triple H she was talking to. Triple H becoming champ sunday and then getting involved with the whole mcmahon/orton angle would actually make perfect sense considering he's a part of the Mcmahon family. Dont call it a prediction just yet, as their is factors that wont allow me to fully say thats what is gonna happen. Just call it a gut feeling.

MVP vs Chavo Guerrero:

I'm loving the face turn from MVP. I've always been in a big fan of his to begin with, and i'm just glad he's not losing every week. This a rematch from a couple weeks ago. Big MVP chant during this match. Thats getting louder every week. Shelton comes out and hits the Gold Standard on MVP causing a DQ. Chavo then hits the frog splash on MVP while he is layed out. Seems they are teasing a 3 way fued here. Id much rather just see it 1 on 1 with Shelton and MVP, but ok.

Taker is shown in the dark and cuts a promo about the chamber match this sunday. His usual good stuff. Has their ever been a better character in wrestling, i think not.

Cut to the Colon's with the twins in the back. Miz and Morrison interject and they seem to be battling a little bit over the girls. Apparently they'll have a match later tonight, winners get to take out the girls. This whole fued these 2 teams have going has to end with a title unification. Otherwise they shouldnt be fueding at all.

Colon's vs Miz and Morrison:

These 2 teams are just so much fun to watch, that i could never get sick of seeing them face each other. Great sequence with Primo and Morrison in the early goings. Probably the 2 best tag teams the WWE has had in a very long time. Hot tag to Primo and he comes in and does the "face clears house" portion of the match, Miz ends up pushing Primo off the top allowing Morrison to hit his flipping neckbreaker for the victory. Decent tag match and Miz and Morrison get the girls. Sluts, lmao, ha ha.

Jeff arrives and is greeted by some guys and gals on his way in. He's up next.

Jeff makes his way to the ring after commercial. They show a video of Matt and Jeff growing up together over the years as Jeff cuts his promo about how Matt betrayed him. Jeff basically sais hes gonna blow off the whole deal, and move on to this sunday to become champ again. Something tells me Matt wont allow that to happen, lol duh. Short and sweet promo by Jeff.

R-Truth vs Ezekial Jackson:

R-Truth makes his annoying entrance to the ring. I dont like to hate on wrestlers but this guy just isnt all that good as i've stated before. Is he the worst ever, not by a longshot, but he just annoys me i guess lol. He's basically a one trick pony. He's got his 2 moves he hits and other then that is barely average. The fact that he was TNA champ at one point just shows how bush league that company is but thats another whole blog all together. I dont know how good Ezekial is on the mic yet, but hes very impressive in his presentation so far. I guess R-Truth is a viable mid card talent, but if he ever goes beyond that i'll be very very suprised. He victory rolls Ezekial here and gets the upset victory. This is actually a decent little mini-fued going on between him and Ezekial. See unlike other wrestling bloggers at some sites i wont mention here, i can give credit even to wrestlers i dont like.

Maria is interviewed in the back, who cares.

Michelle McCool vs Maria:

Michelle seems to be a natural heel but Maria should never enter a wrestling ring other then to strip down to a bikini or bra and panties. Hopefully this wont last long. Eve comes out, distracts Michelle, Maria gets the win with a schoolboy. Lets move on.

Triple H promo next in the back. Nice looking new T'shirt for the game. Sais he has an advantage in the chamber because its his 6th time.

Triple H vs Big Show vs Undertaker vs Kozlov:

Main event time up next as the 4 men make their entrances. Should be a pretty good main event. Too much action for me to report it all so i'm not gonna try lol. Definitely curious to see how Kozlov holds his own this Sunday with the 5 established main event players he'll be in there with. So far a nice fast paced 4-way match with nonstop action. Edge eventually comes out and spears Big Show ending the match in a DQ. Show ends with Edge standing tall with the belt.

Decent Smackdown this week leading to No Way Out. I'll be back either saturday night or sunday morning with my Pay Per View Predictions.
