WWE Smackdown Reviews

2/3/00 Smackdown

Opening segment: Good segment that made matches between the Radicals and DX and if the Radicals could take two out of the three, the Radicals will all get contracts.

Chris Jericho vs. Gangrel: Okay match as it was short and Jericho carried it.

X-Pac vs. Dean Malenko: Pretty good match with X-Pac winning which means that DX is up 1-0.

Jacqueline vs. Harvey Whippleman: A terrible women's title "match" that thankfully lasted all of 15 seconds. Yeah, a guy competed for the women's title.

Kurt Angle vs. Tazz vs. The Rock: Pretty good match with the aftermath advancing the Rock/Big Show feud.

New Age Outlaws vs. Eddie Guerrero/Perry Saturn: Another solid match with the Outlaws winning, putting DX up 2-0, eliminating the Radicals from getting contracts... for now.

Hollys vs. Al Snow/Steve Blackman: Decent tag match though nothing spectacular.

Big Show vs. Rikishi: Not much of a match as it was more of an angle.

HHH vs. Chris Benoit: Very solid main event match with HHH winning, thus DX winning 3-0.

A very solid show that showcased the debuting Radicals very strongly, advanced the feuds nicely, and had some good matches.
 
Grade: B

2/10/00 Smackdown

Kurt Angle vs. Val Venis: Very solid European title match with Angle winning the title.

Perry Saturn vs. Grandmaster Sexay: Another good match here to establish Saturn with the WWF fans. The first of a series of matches between the DX/Radicals alliance and their counterparts, Rock, Cactus Jack, Kane, Rikishi, and Too Cool.

Edge/Christian vs. Dudley Boyz: Another good match, which was the usual between these two teams, with the Dudleys putting Barbara Bush AKA "BB" through a table afterwards.

Dean Malenko vs. Scotty 2 Hotty: Yet another good match, with this one further establishing Malenko with the WWF fans.

The Rock/Cactus Jack vs. New Age Outlaws: Another good match with Rock and Cactus winning.

Gangrel/Luna vs. Prince Albert/Jacqueline: This was complete filler and didn't even last a minute. Meh!

Chris Benoit vs. Rikishi: A good match, this time with Rikishi winning by DQ.

Al Snow/Steve Blackman vs. Hardy Boyz: Another good match, with Snow and Blackman actually winning.

Chris Jericho vs. The Hollys: Not much of a match here as the APA attack the Hollys only for jericho to win shortly after.

Kane vs. HHH/X-Pac: A very solid main event that helped advance the Kane/X-Pac feud.

Another good show here. Lots of solid wrestling and great No Way Out build.
 
Grade: B+

HHH/Road Dogg/X-Pac vs. Too Cool/Rikishi: Very good match.

Godfather/D'Lo Brown vs. Big Bossman/Prince Albert: Very weak match with Tazz interfering to give the pimps the win.

Cactus Jack promo: Very good promo in what would be his last promo as a regular wrestler and HHH and Stephanie have him arrested for vandalism of the DX Express.

Billy Gunn vs. Bubba Ray Dudley: Weak match.

Chris Jericho/Rock vs. Big Show/Kurt Angle: Solid main event with a great chaotic brawl afterwards with Big Show throwing Rock through a window and HHH and Stephanie dragging Cactus Jack away with the DX Express. 

Very good show that promoted No Way Out perfectly and wasn't bad in the ring either.

Grade: A- 

3/2/00 Smackdown

Jeff Hardy vs. Essa Rios: Solid match that furthered the build to Lita leaving Rios for the Hardys.

Rock/Big Show/Shane/Rikishi promo: Very good promo exchange that made the main event.

Crash Holly vs. Tazz: Your typical comedic hardcore match at the time. Not bad but not a great match either.

Edge/Christian vs. Road Dogg/X-Pac: Solid match with Terri costing Edge and Christian the match again.

Test vs. Viscera: A complete filler match that wasn't very good.

Kurt Angle vs. Sgt. Slaughter: Decent match at best though it was booked perfectly with Kurt inning convincingly.

Kane vs. Dudley Boyz: This was okay at best, nothing special, as it was more of an angle.

Rock/Rikishi vs. Big Show/HHH: Very solid main event that was supposedto include Shane in HHH's place, but that isn't a bad thing.

Very solid show with good matches and excellent booking.

Road Dogg vs. Edge: Decent opener, nothing more.

HHH promo: Very solid until it made HHH vs. Tazz later.

Dudley Boyz vs. Essa Rios/Eddie Guerrero: Solid match.

Big Show vs. Rikishi: Weak match as it was more about the comedy since this was when Big Show was impersonating people. 

HHH vs. Tazz: Not very good with HHH winning, even with Tommy Dreamer interference. This was a subliminal WWF>ECW match.

T&A vs. Godfather/D'Lo Brown: very weak match with D'Lo turning heel allowing T&A to win.

X-Pac vs. Christian: Decent match.

Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit: Very solid match.

Rock vs. Chris Jericho: A lumberjack match that was more of an angle as both were faces and the lumberjacks were all heels. 

Very hit/miss episode with a little more hit. Good Backlash build but the HHH/Tazz match was just unnecessary.

Grade: B- 

4/27/00 Smackdown

Eddie Guerrero/Chyna vs. Essa Rios/Lita: Very solid match to open the show.

Rock/HHH promo: Very good promo exchange to build their Backlash match as it's revealed that Shane will be the guest referee.

Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy: Very good hardcore title match which ends with Crash winning back the hardcore title.

Godfather vs. Steve Blackman: A VERY short filler match, nothing more.

Final segment: Very good HHH/Rock promo exchange with Austin appearing on the titantron and destroying the DX Express bus.

Very good show to hype Backlash.

Grade: B

5/25/00 Smackdown

Opening segment: A very good Vince/Undertaker promo exchange that explained why Taker returned.

Edge/Christian vs. Eddie Guerrero/Chyna: Solid tag title match with E&C retaining by DQ.

Faarooq vs. Crash Holly: Just like on Raw, this was also a hardcore squash.

Chris Jericho vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Val Venis: Very good match with Holly getting the IC title shot on Raw with his win.

Matt Hardy vs. Essa Rios: Decent match that planted the seeds for Lita's alliance with the Hardys.

Dudley Boyz/Too Cool vs. Road Dogg/X-Pac/T&A: Very solid 8 man tag with the faces winning.

Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle: Solid IC title match that ends with Holly hitting Angle with a chair, meaning that Benoit retains the IC title and will defend it against Holly on Raw.

Bull Buchanan vs. Al Snow: Decent match albeit VERY heatless.

Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon: This was basically an angle that led to Undertaker and Rock cleaning house on the McMahon-Helmsley regime with Taker chasing them out on his bike and Rock standing tall in the ring.

Very good show with good matches and excellent storylines throughout.

Grade: B+

6/1/00 Smackdown

Too Cool vs. Hardy Boyz: Solid tag title match until Kane attacks both teams and a promo exchange with HHH takes place, making the mein event.

Kurt Angle vs. Bradshaw: Decent KOTR qualifier with Angle obviously advancing.

Very good show as it built KOTR very well and had good wrestling.

Benoit/A-Train segment: Pretty boring.

Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri: Good match.

Basham Brothers vs. Jamie Noble/Bradshaw: Okay match.

Decent show at best.

Grade: B-

10/2/03 Smackdown

Undertaker vs. Chuck Palumbo: Boring squash match...

Big Show vs. Orlando Jordan: Boring squash match...

Cena/Angle segment: Very good segment.

Shannon Moore vs. Zach Gowen: Okay match.

Chris Benoit/APA vs. A-Train/Basham Brothers: Okay match but A-Train pinning Benoit really didn’t work...

Brock Lesnar vs. Paul London: Squash... an effective one but this show really needed a good match.

Final segment: Big Show gets sprayed with sewage. Eddie/Big Show for the US title was built around sewage…

A very lame and pedestrian episode... bad wrestling all around as well as terrible writing and weak PPV build.

Grade: D

4/1/04 Smackdown

Big Show vs. Rikishi: Very boring opening match.

Rey Mysterio/Spike Dudley vs. Chavo Guerrero/Chavo Classic: Decent tag match...

Rob Van Dam vs. Charlie Haas: Pretty good.

Booker T vs. Hardcore Holly: Boring match...

Dudley Boyz vs. Akio/Sakoda: Decent since Akio and Sakoda actually got some offense.

John Cena vs. FBI: I always love it when one guy squashes a tag team, especially when that tag team has two good wrestlers in it. Next!

Ending segment: People throwing names into a hat, and Bradshaw's in competition for the Great American Award despite not wrestling in the tournament at all, which makes me have a feeling that this whole tournament will be a waste of time in the end.

Bad show. Not much in terms of good wrestling and the final segment gave me low expectations for next week.

Grade: C-

4/8/04 Smackdown

Opening segment: Just more JBL stuff... it's been a few weeks and he's yet to wrestle at all.

Dudley Boyz vs. Rikishi/Scotty 2 Hotty: Pretty boring tag match.

Chavo Guerrero vs. Jamie Noble: Good match even though the winner was pretty obvious.

John Cena vs. Danny Basham: A boring squash...

Booker T/Rob Van Dam vs. Charlie Haas/Big Show: Good match that was very well booked with Haas getting the win over RVD...

Rene Dupree vs. Orlando Jordan: Another boring squash...

Spike Dudley vs. Johnny Stamboli: Bad match with Spike winning after hitting only one move and Mark Jindrak attacking afterwards. Very, very pointless.

Great American Award finals: Very bad segment with JBL winning the award and becoming #1 contender despite not having one match on the show yet.

Very, very bad episode of Smackdown...

Grade: D

5/6/04 Smackdown

Opening segment: Footage from a house show where JBL attacked Eddie Guerrero, approaches his mother, and she collapses. Terrible segment...

John Cena vs. Doug Basham: Squash.

Booker T/Cleo segment: Very bad segment.

Chavo Guerrero vs. Jacqueline: This was just terribly booked and buries Chavo and the belt itself.

FBI vs. Undertaker: Undertaker basically squashes the FBI...

Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie: More of an angle than match.

Rey Mysterio/Rob Van Dam vs. Dudley Boyz: The only good part of the show, and it's the main event...

This is the worst Smackdown ever... hell, it may even be the worst episode of a wrestling show ever!

Grade: F

5/13/04 Smackdown

Rob Van Dam vs. D'Von Dudley: Pretty decent match to start the show.

Chavo segment: Chavo vs. Jacqueline for the CW title is added but Chavo will have one arm tied behind his back. Ugh.

Chavo Classic vs. Jacqueline: Very bad match.

FBI vs. Booker T: FBI get squashed by who their opponent last week is feuding with.

Eddie Guerrero segment: Pretty good until he gets arrested yet again...

Hardcore Holly vs. Rico: This wasn't bad albeit a filler match...

Cafe de Rene: This was poor hype for the US title match at Judgment Day.

John Cena vs. Sakoda: Boring...

JBL vs. Rey Mysterio: Really bad main event as Rey gets absolutely squashed.

Not as bad as last week but still atrocious. Wrestling was still bad, the storylines are still bad, and one of their most popular babyfaces gets squashed in the main event.

Grade: D+

5/20/04 Smackdown

Opening segment: Wasn't too bad although the Eddie/JBL feud was pretty bad. Made the main event for tonight.

Rico/Charlie Haas vs. FBI: Good match despite the predictable outcome...

Kidman vs. Akio: No match as Mordecai attacks both before the match starts, burying the cruisereight division as a whole…

John Cena vs. Rene Dupree: Okay US title match but the ending made no sense with Dupree letting Cena get counted out. It’s a title match!

Chavo Guerrero vs. Chavo Classic vs. Spike Dudley: Chavo loses his title to his dad after winning it from Jacqueline! That was ridiculous...

Booker T vs. Funaki: Squash...

JBL/Dudley Boyz vs. Rey Mysterio/Rob Van Dam/Eddie Guerrero: Good match, terrible ending with Eddie collapsing and JBL pinning him for the win. There are limits as to good heel heat and bad heel heat… this was pushing it, just like Orton saying that Eddie was in hell was.

This show was slightly better than last week though far from good. The wrestling still wasn’t much to talk about, the booking continued to suck, and the main event ended with JBL pinning Eddie after he collapsed.

Grade: D+

5/27/04 Smackdown

Rey Mysterio/Rob Van Dam vs. Dudley Boyz: Good match and the stuff with Heyman and the Dudleys afterwards was good too.

JBL/Eddie segment: Bad segment where JBL shows footage of him busting Eddie open at Judgment Day and Eddie collapsing last week.

Booker T vs. Scotty 2 Hotty: Squash...

Eddie Guerrero vs. Danny Basham: Ugh... squash again.

Torrie Wilson/Spike Dudley vs. Dawn Marie/Jamie Noble: Bad match.

Chavo Classic vs. Akio: Very bad match.

John Cena vs. Rene Dupree US title lumberjack match: It was pretty good actually because the match type prevents too many restholds and such and it wasn’t a big mess.

Another poorly booked edition of Smackdown. The wrestling sucked, Akio jobs to Chavo’s dad, another pointless Booker squash, etc. On par with last week.

Grade: D+

9/23/04 Smackdown

Booker T vs. Paul London: Pretty good...

Spike Dudley vs. Rey Mysterio: Good cruiserweight title match.

Undertaker vs. Viscera/Gangrel: Squash.

Fabulous Moolah/Mae Young vs. Torrie Wilson/Dawn Marie: Terrible match.

Kurt Angle/Luther Reigns vs. Big Show/Eddie Guerrero: Good match but a bizarre ending with Angle shooting Big Show with a tranquilizer and shaving his head.

A show with two really bad matches, a weird ending, and lots of backstage stuff. Mediocre at best.

Grade: C

10/7/04 Smackdown

Opening segment: Very good with Carlito debuting, but he's in a US title match too.

Rey Mysterio vs. Kenzo Suzuki: Bad match.

JBL vs. Hardcore Holly: Bad match.

Big Show vs. Mark Jindrak: Squash.

Kidman vs. Charlie Haas: Good until the finish.

Heidenreich segment: Boring...

Carlito vs. John Cena (US title match): Okay match but giving someone a title in their first match NEVER works (in Carlito's case he wasn't good enough in the ring to justify the push).

This show was pretty bad.

Grade: D+

11/4/04 Smackdown

Tough Enough: Boring...

Booker T vs. Orlando Jordan: Meh...

Big Show/Dudleys segment: It was kinda boring and WHY did Spike want Bubba and D'Von to attack Big Show?

Rey Mysterio/Rob Van Dam vs. Luther Reigns/Mark Jindrak: Pretty good...

Dawn Marie vs. Miss Jackie arm wrestling match: This was a bad segment.

Booker T/Josh Matthews vs. JBL/Orlando Jordan: Not that good as Matthews was the face in peril getting beat up by two subpar workers.

A show with lame angles and barely any wrestling.

Grade: D

11/11/04 Smackdown

Tough Enough: Boring...

Chavo Guerrero/Rey Mysterio vs. Kidman/Spike Dudley: Pretty good...

Josh Matthews vs. Orlando Jordan: Pretty bad and Matthews actually won.

Eddie Guerrero/Rob Van Dam vs. Luther Reigns/Mark Jindrak: Not bad and hyped the PPV well.

Tough Enough 2: Boring...

JBL promo: Was pretty good...

Heidenreich segment: Boring...

Big Show vs. Kurt Angle: Wasn't bad at all...

This was better although the pattern was bad segment then good segment then it starts all over again. Mediocre...

Grade: C

11/18/04 Smackdown

Opening promo: Pretty good debut for Carlito and made the main event...

Tough Enough: Boring...

Heidenreich vs. Charlie Haas: Boring...

Rob Van Dam/Rene Dupree vs. Rene Dupree/Kenzo Suzuki: Decent...

Kurt Angle vs. Dean Fisk: Boring Angle Invitational...

JBL segment: Good and it made the Armageddon main event.

Tough Enough 2: Boring...

John Cena vs. Carlito: This was a nothing match and Cena winning the US title while he’s still filming a movie made no sense either.

This show was pretty bad... the wrestling sucked as did the storylines and the booking.

Grade: D+

11/25/04 Smackdown

Rene Dupree vs. Rob Van Dam: Decent opening match...

Tough Enough: Boring...

Rob Van Dam vs. Kenzo Suzuki: Not that good.

Big Show Thanksgiving segment: Lame for the most part but started a feud and Luther’s promo was good.

Kurt Angle vs. Cody Steele: Boring Angle Invitational...

Miss Jackie vs. Dawn Marie: Boring... the match never really started but this was still bad.

Booker T/Eddie Guerrero vs. JBL/Orlando Jordan: Decent tag main event...

Overall this show felt mailed in due to the Thanksgiving holiday... no real storyline development and very lacking in quality wrestling.

Grade: D+

12/2/04 Smackdown

Rey Mysterio/Rob Van Dam/Torrie Wilson vs. Rene Dupree/Kenzo Suzuki/Hiroko: Very average match.

Tough Enough: Boring...

Jesus vs. Charlie Haas: A complete nothing match...

Kurt Angle vs. Sebastian McCauley: Boring... the Angle Invitationals felt pointless and never led to anything.

Jackie/Dawn Marie segment: Not a great segment.

Undertaker vs. JBL/Orlando Jordan: Very boring main event...

This show was terrible... dumb storylines and the wrestling was bad.

Grade: D

12/9/04 Smackdown

Opening segment: Decent...

Cruiserweight battle royal: Pretty good...

Jesus vs. Charlie Haas: Complete nothing match...

Kenzo Suzuki/Rene Dupree vs. Rey Mysterio/Rob Van Dam (tag title match): Not only is this match given away for free three days before the PPV, but the title switch is as well! It was a good match but also a middle finger to anyone who ordered the PPV already.
Tough Enough: Boring...

Big Show vs. Mark Jindrak: Boring...

Booker T/Undertaker/Eddie Guerrero vs. JBL/Orlando Jordan/Basham Brothers: This was decent but nothing more.

Pretty bad show overall with an insulting title change before the title match on PPV to top things off.

Grade: D+

1/13/05 Smackdown

Angle segment: Not very good as it was just him apologizing to Joy.

Basham Brothers vs. Luther Reigns/Mark Jindrak vs. Rey Mysterio/Rob Van Dam vs. Eddie Guerrero/Booker T (tag title match): Pretty good...

Kurt Angle vs. Roderick Strong: Boring... the Angle invitational segments never felt like they were building to anything.

John Cena vs. Kenzo Suzuki: Squash...

Amy Weber vs. Joy Giovanni: Match never started but it didn't advance much.

Funaki vs. Nunzio: Pretty good cruiserweight title match...

Ending segment: Not a great segment.

Grade: D+

5/19/05 Smackdown

10/26/07 Smackdown

VIP Lounge: Pretty good. Made a match for later on and hyped Rey/Finlay and Matt/MVP for Cyber Sunday.

Kane vs. Mark Henry: Very boring match...

MVP/Matt Hardy vs. Finlay/Rey Mysterio: Best match of the night by far.

Batista vs. Jamie Noble: Boring squash with no real point except for Noble to get squashed again...

Big Daddy V vs. Miz vs. John Morrison: Basically Viscera squashing the other two. Pretty bad match.

Jesse/Festus vs. Steve Fender/Joe Hennig: Boring squash to establish Jesse/Festus...

Ending segment: Pretty good. JBL cut a political ad of sorts on the other votes for guest ref, Foley and Austin, and tried to get on Undertaker’s good side… Taker chokeslammed him to end the show.

VERY boring show. The final segment and anything involving the midcarders was good but the wrestling was bad and much of it had no real point.

Grade: D+

3/21/08 Smackdown

Batista vs. Deuce/Domino: Very boring handicap squash to open the show.

Divas competition: Very boring segment.

Big Show vs. Luke Hawk/Chase Stevens/Andy Douglas: Very boring squash match.

Edge vs. Funaki: Another boring squash match.

VIP lounge: Great segment as it was good MITB hype.

Kane vs. Chuck Palumbo: Very boring match.

Miz/John Morrison vs. Jesse/Festus: A pretty good tag title match.

Undertaker vs. Chavo Guerrero: Decent match although the outcome was never in doubt.

A very boring show, especially in the first hour. WAY too squash heavy and the storyline progression was very boring.

Grade: D+

4/18/08 Smackdown

Highlight Reel: Very good as it featured the awesome HBK/Batista feud...

MVP vs. Tommy Dreamer: This was basically a squash...

Hornswoggle vs. Matt Striker: Ugh... full of the usual Hornswoggle stuff and he won too.

Chavo Guerrero vs. Jamie Noble: This was pretty decent, albeit a bit pointless.

Big Show vs. Mark Henry: A very boring match.

Cherry vs. Victoria: Another bad match.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Leroy Kincade: Very boring Kozlov squash.

Batista vs. Undertaker: A pretty good main event match.

A pretty dull show… matches were bad and the storyline progression was rather boring.

Grade: D+

5/2/08 Smackdown

John Morrison/Miz vs. Jimmy Wang Yang/Shannon Moore: Really good opening match.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Colin Delaney: Typical Kozlov squash.

Victoria/Natalya vs. Cherry/Michelle McCool: This match was pretty boring.

Mark Henry vs. Nunzio: Typical Mark Henry squash match.

Matt Hardy vs. MVP: This was a really good US title match.

Jesse/Festus vs. Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder: Pretty boring match.

Finlay vs. Julio Dinero: Very pointless squash.

Undertaker vs. Great Khali: Pretty bad main event.

Two really good matches, however the rest was the typical filler and boring storyline progression. Below average.

Grade: D+

5/16/08 Smackdown

Opening segment: Boring once again and by the rule of the Board of Directors Vickie has to face the Undertaker in the main event. So much for an actual match…

CM Punk vs. Chuck Palumbo: This match was pretty good.

Michelle McCool vs. Layla: Very boring women’s match.

Batista promo: This was decent at best, nothing special.

Big Show/Finlay vs. MVP/Mark Henry: This was not a good match at all...

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Funaki: Typical Kozlov squash.

Cherry vs. Maryse: The second bad women’s match of the show.

Matt Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin: Really good match.

Undertaker vs. La Familia: It was changed because it was revealed that Vickie just had to wrestle Undertaker and it didn’t have to be one on one. That being said, it still wasn’t much of a match.

A couple good matches but two bad women’s matches and boring storyline progression make this a below average show.

Grade: D+

5/30/08 Smackdown

Opening segment: Very boring and created Batista and a partner of his choice against Hawkins and Ryder. Yawn…

Matt Hardy vs. Elijah Burke: Really solid opening match.

Finlay vs. Chuck Palumbo: Wasn’t a great match as it was a poor clash of styles.

CM Punk vs. John Morrison: Another solid match.

Batista/Big Show vs. Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder: This match was pretty much a squash.

MVP vs. Jamie Noble: Another squash match.

Michelle McCool vs. Maryse: A very boring women’s match where Michelle wins due to Cherry distracting Maryse.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Shannon Moore: Typical Kozlov squash match.

Cutting Edge: The best part of the show as it was an awesome final touch to the dull Undertaker/Edge feud.

The final segment was very good as well as two matches in the first hour but the rest of this show was the usual squashes and by the numbers booking. Very dull show for the most part.

Grade: D+

6/6/08 Smackdown

Opening segment: An okay segment but the wedding and the main event announcements killed it.

Finlay vs. Chuck Palumbo: The best match they had, because of the Belfast Brawl stipulation. These two didn’t click in their regular matches.

Big Show/Mark Henry segment: An okay segment at best as you can't get me interested in a matchup THAT bad.

Great Khali vs. Deuce/Domino: A very boring handicap squash match and who exactly were the faces?

Cousin Sal vs. Santino Marella: One of the last times Santino was ever funny but the match itself was atrocious.

"Golden Star on a Pole" match: A very bad match, nuff said.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Jimmy Wang Yang: A very boring squash match.

La Familia vs. Batista/Nunzio/Funaki/Colin Delaney: The ring work in this was good but the booking really made La Familia look weak as they dominated the jobbers but Batista destroyed the whole stable and won the match.

A very boring show here… the entire second hour was a wash, too squash heavy, and the booking was very by the numbers and boring.

Grade: D+

6/13/08 Smackdown

Opening segment: Very boring and Batista vs. Khali is made where Batista will be banished from WWE forever if he loses. Yawn…

Finlay vs. John Morrison: Pretty good opening match...

Mark Henry vs. Tommy Dreamer: A boring Mark Henry squash match.

Cherry vs. Maryse: A terrible women’s match.

MVP vs. CM Punk: A good match but a really bad ending.

Matt Hardy vs. Chuck Palumbo: A decent match because Matt carried it.

Jesse/Festus vs. Deuce/Domino: Repetitive and boring match and the heels tease a break up.

Batista vs. Great Khali: Very bad match and Batista predictably wins.

Very dull and boring show once again.

Grade: D+

6/20/08 Smackdown

Opening segment: Okay segment. MVP vs. Kane is made...

Matt Hardy vs. Bam Neely: A decent match because Matt carried it.

Michelle McCool vs. Layla: A very boring match.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Jamie Noble: Typical Kozlov squash… very boring.

Kane vs. MVP: Surprisingly dull as these two just didn’t click at all.

Great Khali vs. Charles Robinson: Terrible “match” involving the worst wrestler on the show and a referee.

Jesse/Festus vs. Deuce/Domino: NOTHING match and the heels break up after one week of build.

Finlay vs. Miz: This was the best match of the show although it only lasted around 4 minutes.

Batista vs. Chavo Guerrero: A boring squash with Edge as the ref. Very underwhelming.

This show was VERY dull.

Grade: D

6/27/08 Smackdown

Opening segment: It was a good segment and it set up a HHH/Edge feud too.

Kane/Big Show vs. Mark Henry/MVP: Not a good match.

Finlay/Hornswoggle vs. Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder: Boring and Hornswoggle got the pin like usual...

Edge vs. Matt Hardy: Pretty good like usual...

Natalya/Victoria/Maryse vs. Michelle McCool/Kelly Kelly/Cherry: Very bad match...

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Domino: Boring Kozlov squash match...

Rey Mysterio segment: He says goodbye to Smackdown... I liked that.

Batista vs. Umaga: Not a great main event.

This was an improvement but still pretty weak as the match quality was way below average and the only thing that made it better than the recent episodes were the new faces. Other than that, the same Smackdown it was before.

Grade: D+

7/11/08 Smackdown

Opening segment: Very good until Vickie came out.

Matt Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin: Pretty good match...

Mr. Kennedy vs. Domino: Man, this was a bad match.

John Morrison/Miz vs. Finlay/Hornswoggle: Good until Hornswoggle pinned Miz. Ugh…

HHH vs. Chavo Guerrero: This was meh and really pointless too...

Maryse/Natalya vs. Michelle McCool/Cherry: This was very bad.

Jesse/Festus vs. Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder: Repetitive match but the ending was creative with Hawkins and Ryder using the ring bell to their advantage.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Stevie Richards: Typical squash although Richards fared better than most.

Edge vs. Big Show: Basically Big Show beating up Edge until Vickie stops the match.

This show was hit/miss... the matches were better than usual but the storyline progression was still really boring and still too much filler.

Grade: C-

7/18/08 Smackdown

Opening segment: A dragging La Familia promo.

Finlay/Hornswoggle vs. Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder: Solid match.

Vickie/Edge dance: Pretty bad.

Big Show vs. MVP/Vladimir Kozlov/Great Khali/Shelton Benjamin: All angle.

Segment: A bit of a mess with Natalya squashing Cherry and then Vickie pinning her after she tapped to the sharpshooter.

Brian Kendrick vs. Jimmy Wang Yang: Solid match.

Mr. Kennedy vs. Umaga: Solid match.

John Morrison/Miz vs. Jesse/Festus: Solid match.

Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy: Solid match.

Final segment: Your typical wrestling wedding with a storyline twist, though this one was good with Edge cheating on Vickie with Alicia Fox.

One of the better Smackdowns, and surprisingly it was a wedding episode, as those are mediocre to bad generally with a few exceptions.

Grade: B

7/25/08 Smackdown

VIP Lounge: Pretty good and started a feud with Jeff Hardy...

Shelton Benjamin vs. Jimmy Wang Yang: This was a pretty good match actually.

Festus vs. Curt Hawkins: Hawkins gets squashed a few days after winning the tag titles with his partner Zack Ryder.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Stevie Richards: This wasn't as good as their last match...

WHC #1 contender's battle royal: Very boring and Khali wins it too.

Michelle McCool vs. Maryse: Boring Divas title match...

Brian Kendrick vs. Shannon Moore: It was basically a squash.

Edge/Vickie segment: Very good because Vickie actually wasn't annoying! Oh, and it made undertaker vs. Edge in HIAC too.

Outside of the beginning and end this show was pretty weak. The same steady diet of filler and extremely bland storyline progression that there is in almost every show.

Grade: D+

8/1/08 Smackdown

MVP vs. Jimmy Wang Yang: Not bad although it was pretty pointless...

Mr. Kennedy vs. Shelton Benjamin: Pretty good match...

Brian Kendrick vs. Stevie Richards: Typical Kendrick squash...

Great Khali vs. Jeff Hardy: One of Khali's better matches but that ain't saying much.

Maria vs. Victoria: Very bad match.

Big Show vs. Domino: Boring and pointless squash...

Foley/Edge segment: This was excellent.

Another weak show. Some stuff was good but the second hour was still bad outside of the final segment and the storyline progression was still really boring.

Grade: C-

8/8/08 Smackdown

Natalya/Victoria/Maryse vs. Cherry/Maria/Michelle McCool: Very bad match where all the girls weared an outfit pertaining to an Olympic sport.

Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder vs. Jimmy Wang Yang/Shannon Moore: This wasn't their best match as it was very by the numbers...

Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin: This was probably the best match of the night...

Indian Broken Glass Arm Wrestling: Very boring segment.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Jesse: Squash.

Brian Kendrick vs. Super Crazy: It was very short and was borderline squash although both tried to make it good.

Edge/Vickie/Chavo segment: This segment was awesome and the Edge/Undertaker build for Summerslam was 10 times better than their Wrestlemania build.

Despite the awesome closing segment this show was very dull. Not much in the way of good wrestling and the storyline progression was boring until the final segment.

Grade: D+

8/15/08 Smackdown

Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin: Good match despite the same screwy finish as last week.

Natalya/Maryse vs. Michelle McCool/Maria: Very boring women’s match.

Brian Kendrick vs. Scotty Goldman: Goldman AKA Colt Cabana gets squashed in a very unspectacular debut.

HHH vs. Kenny Dykstra: Another squash match and Khali interferes after the match and fails.

Big Show vs. Ryan Braddock: ANOTHER squash match.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Festus: This was Kozlov’s best match so far although that isn’t saying much. The finish was very cool though.

Edge/Vickie segment: This was probably even MORE awesome than last week. Great stuff.

Outside of the beginning and end this was all boring and much of it didn’t have much of a point either.

Grade: D+

9/5/08 Smackdown

Opening segment: Pretty good...

R-Truth vs. Bam Neely: Truth carried this one quite well...

Shelton Benjamin vs. MVP: Short but good...

Maryse vs. Maria: Boring...

Jeff Hardy vs. Brian Kendrick: Just like Shelton/MVP...

Super Crazy vs. Ryan Braddock: Decent but WAY too short and Crazy's made to look like an afterthought as Kozlov comes down, attacks him, and delivers a promo.

Victoria vs. Brie Bella: Not a great match.

HHH vs. Great Khali lumberjack match: BAD main event match.

Not much of a show as the storyline progression was boring, the wrestling wasn’t that great, and some of the booking sucked like Kozlov getting a main event push and Victoria jobbing to Brie Bella.

Grade: C-

9/12/08 Smackdown

Opening segment: Wasn't bad...

Maryse/Victoria/Natalya vs. Michelle McCool/Maria/Brie Bella: Pretty bad match.

R-Truth vs. Chavo Guerrero: Solid until the confusing ending.

Festus vs. Kenny Dykstra: Nothing match with Jesse and Festus wrapping Kenny in bubble wrap and wheeling him out of the arena.

Big Show/Vickie segment: Boring...

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Funaki/Scotty Goldman: Boring squash...

Carlito/Primo vs. Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder: Not bad... the Colons teaming after Primo verbally attacked Carlito a few weeks ago on Raw makes no sense though.

Jeff Hardy vs. MVP vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Brian Kendrick: Pretty good main event and Jeff gets a shot at HHH’s title.

Another boring show… wrestling was only average at best, the storyline progression was once again really boring, and some of the stuff was either pointless or made no sense.

Grade: C-

9/19/08 Smackdown

Michelle McCool vs. Maryse: Boring divas title match...

Festus vs. Ryan Braddock: Exact same stuff as last week with Jesse/Festus wrapping Braddock in bubble wrap and wheeling him out of the arena.

R-Truth vs. Shelton Benjamin: Pretty good and R-Truth gets a US title shot...

Jeff Hardy vs. Brian Kendrick: Good match...

Carlito's Cabana: Okay at best...

Great Khali vs. Scotty Goldman: Boring squash match...

HHH vs. MVP: Solid main event...

Another weak show for the blue brand. The stuff from Truth, Shelton, Jeff, Kendrick, MVP, and HHH was good as usual but the rest was the usual Smackdown.

Grade: C-

9/26/08 Smackdown

HHH/Jeff Hardy vs. MVP/Brian Kendrick: Really good opening match.

Shelton Benjamin/R-Truth promo: This advanced NOTHING. "What's up?"? That’s all R-Truth said.

Maria/Brie Bella vs. Victoria/Natalya: Not that good...

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Great Khali: Boring...

Chavo Guerrero vs. Jimmy Wang Yang: Decent but really pointless too...

Carlito/Primo Colon vs. Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder: Solid match but the Colons teaming after Primo verbally attacked Carlito a few weeks ago on Raw makes no sense.

Undertaker/Vickie segment: Very boring.

VERY boring Smackdown that once again lacked in quality matches, and was once again loaded with boring storytelling.

Grade: D+

10/17/08 Smackdown

Big Show demonstration segment: Outside of the promos it was very boring… the stipulations demonstrated were ridiculously simple.

Colons vs. Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder: This was a step down from their previous matches as the lesser half of the heels (Hawkins) was wrestling most of the match.

R-Truth vs. MVP: Pretty good match.

Ezekiel Jackson vs. Super Crazy: Just a squash to establish Ezekiel.

Undertaker vs. Great Khali: Was about to be on par with their overrated LMS match two years ago until the non-finish.

Las Vegas pole match: Very bad match for #1 contendership to the Divas title.

Jesse/Festus vs. Kenny Dykstra/Ryan Braddock: Very boring filler match.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Jeff Hardy: An extended squash main event that furthered Kozlov’s main event push.

The wrestling wasn’t good and R-Truth/MVP was the only redeemable part of the show.

Grade: D

10/31/08 Smackdown

Carlito/Primo Colon vs. John Morrison/Miz: Pretty good...

Jimmy Wang Yang vs. Brian Kendrick: Decent match, bad ending.

Khali kiss cam: Boring segment.

Kane/MVP/Mark Henry vs. Rey Mysterio/Hardy Boyz: This was good...

HHH/Kozlov segment: Boring... typical face HHH promo.

Victoria/Natalya/Maryse vs. Maria/Michelle McCool/Brie Bella: Boring...

Undertaker vs. Chavo Guerrero casket match: Very weak main event.

Pretty weak show… okay matches but boring storyline progression once again and the feuds weren’t exactly interesting.

Grade: C-

11/7/08 Smackdown

VIP Lounge/Kiss Cam: This was a pretty boring segment to start the show.

Shelton Benjamin vs. R-Truth: Pretty good US title match.

Ezekiel Jackson vs. Jimmy Wang Yang: Just a squash to establish Ezekiel.

HHH/Jeff Hardy vs. John Morrison/Miz: Pretty good tag team match.

Big Show promo: Very boring… another casket match?

Great Khali vs. MVP: Khali absolutely squashes MVP.

Brie Bella vs. Victoria: A very dull and boring match.

Undertaker vs. Vladimir Kozlov: Decent match until Jeff Hardy attacked Kozlov, giving him the title shot. Very bad booking when Jeff wanted another title shot in the storyline.

A few decent matches but boring segments and the terrible booking of the main event means this show is below average.

Grade: D+

12/5/08 Smackdown

Edge vs. Kung Fu Naki: Squash and the segment afterwards was boring as well.

Michelle McCool vs. Maria: This match was really bad..

MVP vs. Hurricane: Solid match but MVP’s losing streak continues. Ugh…

Tag Team Gauntlet: HHH and Jeff beat Hawkins and Ryder in a glorified squash and then get counted out against Miz and Morrison. It was okay but it still felt like late 2006.

Matt Hardy vs. Chavo Guerrero: Decent match.

Khali kiss cam: Boring…

Undertaker vs. Big Show: This cage match did not undergo the big man vs. big man rule as this was really good actually.

Some of the matches on this show were good but the show was pretty boring overall and I wasn’t fond of the directions they were going in either.

Grade: C-

12/26/08 Smackdown

Opening segment: First half was good... after Chavo came out it started sucking bad. Vickie is fat jokes?

HHH vs. Chavo Guerrero: Completely pointless squash...

Shelton Benjamin vs. Hurricane: Good match but bad booking.

Carlito vs. Brian Kendrick: Decent albeit short.

Maryse vs. Michelle McCool: Pretty bad Divas title match and Maryse wins it from Michelle.

Great Khali vs. MVP: Squash... Khali even pinned MVP with his foot on his chest.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Jimmy Wang Yang: Squash...

Jeff Hardy vs. Big Show: This was pretty boring and had a countout finish. Very anticlimactic.

Very bad show as the matches were mostly bad and the booking was even worse.

Grade: D

1/2/09 Smackdown

Opening segment: Awful from start to finish and the worst HHH promo ever. Vickie nude pictures? He took off the action figure's clothes?

Great Khali/Finlay vs. Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder: A VERY pointless squash.

Jesse/Festus vs. Brian Kendrick/Ezekiel Jackson: Decent tag match, nothing special.

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Hurricane: Absolute squash.

Shelton promo: Undertaker chokeslammed him for no reason.

Michelle/Eve segment: Very good segment.

Kizarny vs. MVP: Pretty bad match.

Edge promo: Decent but the stupidity of Vickie Guerrero nude pictures hurt this.

Hardy Boyz vs. Edge/Big Show: This was pretty good although having Edge get pinned instead of Big Show didn't really work.

Another terrible Smackdown filled with bad matches and confusing booking.

Grade: D+

1/16/09 Smackdown

Opening segment: Absolutely terrible with HHH mentioning nude photos of Vickie.

Jack Swagger/Mark Henry vs. Finlay/Matt Hardy: Solid match.

Big Show vs. MVP: Good LMS match to finally end MVP's losing streak.

Battle royal: Solid except for Kozlov qualifying for the Elimination Chamber.

Hardy promo: Very good with him destroying Gregory Helms.

Shelton Benjamin vs. MVP: Solid match.

John Morrison/Miz/Brian Kendrick vs. Colons/R-Truth: Good match.

Michelle McCool vs. Eve Torres: Bad match.

Umaga vs. Kung Fu Naki: Squash.

Much better show than the last several months' worth, as it was focused on long matches rather than squashes and filler.

Grade: B

2/13/09 Smackdown

MVP vs. Chavo Guerrero: Solid match.

John Morrison/Miz vs. Colons: Solid match.

Another good show.

3/6/09 Smackdown

Matt Hardy vs. MVP: Solid match with MVP getting into the MITB match.

Maryse vs. Eve Torres: Bad match.

Edge/Big Show contract signing: It was actually about to be signed until Cena destroyed the heels and whispered something in Vickie's ear. Thank God as Edge/Big Show is hardly a WM match.

Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin: Good match with Shelton getting in the MITB match.

HHH vs. Umaga: Good main event until Orton and Legacy beat down HHH.

Another good show for Smackdown.

Grade: B

Kane/Christian/Finlay/Shelton Benjamin vs. MVP/CM Punk/Kofi Kingston/Mark Henry: Not a great opener.

Big Show vs. Jesse/Festus: Squash.

Cena/Big Show promo: Your typical Cena promo.

Matt Hardy vs. R-Truth: Solid match.

Carlito/Primo/Brie Bella vs. John Morrison/Miz/Nikki Bella: Solid match.

Maryse vs. Michelle McCool: Bad Divas title match until Gail Kim returns and attacks both. A bit bizarre considering that her vignettes stopped airing a few weeks ago.

Final segment: Very good HBK promo until Undertaker goozled him for the chokeslam.

Very mediocre episode compare to the last couple months. The show just dragged.

Grade: C

4/10/09 Smackdown

Layla/Eve danceoff: Boring and really pointless...

MVP vs. Dolph Ziggler: Solid match despite the MVP/The View stuff.

CM Punk vs. Edge: Good match though not as good as the previous week.

Layla/Eve arm wrestling: Boring...

Dolph Ziggler vs. Great Khali: Boring...

5/15/09 Smackdown

Really good show. Great storyline progression and only the stupid Hardy/Ortiz squash (did Hardy even NEED it?) sucked.

Grade: A

5/22/09 Smackdown

Grade: A

6/5/09 Smackdown

Opening segment: Really good.

Shelton Benjamin vs. John Morrison: Good match.

CM Punk vs. Umaga: Good match.

Melina/Gail Kim/Eve Torres vs. Michelle McCool/Layla/Alicia Fox: solid match.

The Great Khali vs. Dolph Ziggler: Boring...

Melina vs. Layla: Not a great match as usual.

Cryme Tyme vs. Chris Jericho/Big Show: Decent match and I don't really count the Jericho/Shad match as it didn't have a pinfall/submission result and turned into this match.

Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk cage match: Great match and the stuff afterwards was great in that it got Jeff to say goodbye to his fans and put Punk over big time.

Great show.

Grade: B

9/4/09 Smackdown

John Morrison vs. Rey Mysterio: Very good match.

McIntyre/Truth segment: Meh.

Maria/Eve Torres vs. Natalya/Layla: Bad match.

Good show only because of the first hour.

9/18/09 Smackdown

Opening segment: Solid, nothing special.

David Hart Smith vs. JTG: Solid match though these two teams' matches are REALLY starting to get repetitive.

CM Punk vs. Undertaker: Good match though why are they airing the match before the PPV? Makes no sense, especially considering that buyrates are down.

Solid show.

Grade: A-

10/2/09 Smackdown

Batista vs. Kane: Not a great match at all...

Eddie Guerrero tribute: Awesome tribute. Not much else to say.

Dolph Ziggler/Miz vs. Kofi Kingston/John Morrison: Good match.

Solid show.

Grade: A

10/16/09 Smackdown

Opening segment: Pretty good.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Mike Knox vs. Finlay: Solid match.

Cryme Tyme vs. Hart Dynasty: Boring once again as these teams have wrestled each other just about every single week for the last few months and Shad was selling once again.

Matt Hardy vs. Eric Escobar: A boring match that was badly booked. Escobar's as green as grass and he qualifies for a high profile PPV match in his FIRST MATCH. And Matt Hardy's more than over enough to be a good addition to Team Smackdown so that makes this even worse.

Dirt Sheet: Started out good then just got lame with classic quotes like "Mizzy Janetty" and a Big Dick Johnson reference of all things as well as hollywood references.

R-Truth vs. Drew McIntyre: Ugh... this wasn't as bad as Escobar/Hardy but it wasn't good and McIntyre qualifies for a high profile PPV match in his 3rd match since redebuting.

Batista vs. Rey Mysterio: Solid main event.

Pretty bad show. Very weak in-ring and poorly booked with newcomers qualifying for thr Bragging Rights team.

Grade: D+

10/23/09 Smackdown

Grade: D+

11/20/09 Smackdown

Batista vs. Matt Hardy: Not a great opener.

Drew McIntyre vs. Finlay: Glorified squash.

Punk promo: Very good with him having cigarettes, a bottle of pills, and alcohol with him at ringside and preaching about how bad they are for you until R-Truth attacked him and poured all of that on him.

John Morrison vs. Dolph Ziggler: Very good 2 out of 3 falls match.

Mickie James vs. Layla: A backdrop to a pretaped skit with Michelle McCool singing Old MacDonald and having it close with Mickie in the Looney Tunes bullseye with Porky Pig's voice saying That's All Folks. Terrible.

Rey Mysterio vs. Tyson Kidd: Decent until Batista caused Rey to lose by attacking Kidd. Screwy booking.

Chris Jericho/Big Show vs. Brothers of Destruction: Very good main event.

Not a great show, mainly because of the Piggie James skit. Just tasteless as Mickie is far from fat.

Opening segment: Very dull Batista promo on the Undertaker.

CM Punk/Luke Gallows vs. R-Truth/Matt Hardy: Solid match.

Batista vs. Rey Mysterio: For a street fight it was weak as it was mostly a glorified singles match.

Very boring show.

Opening segment: Mediocre Batista/Rey promo though it made the main event.

John Morrison/Matt Hardy/R-Truth vs. Drew McIntyre/CM Punk/Luke Gallows: Solid match.

Chris Jericho vs. Great Khali: Not a great match.

Hart Dynasty vs. Slam Master J/Jimmy Wang Yang: Decent match despite it being pure filler.

Beth Phoenix vs. Maria: Squash.

Batista vs. Rey Mysterio: Solid main event.

Not a great show, due to all the filler.

Grade: C-

1/22/10 Smackdown

Batista vs. Finlay: Not much of a match as the match gets thrown out a minute in because of fighting outside the ring. Lame.

Punk segment: Very long, but interesting, with him shaving Serena Deeb's head and initiating her in the SES.

John Morrison/R-Truth vs. Chris Jericho/Drew McIntyre: Solid match.

Chris Jericho vs. R-Truth: Solid match.

John Morrison vs. Drew McIntyre: Solid IC title match.

Grade: B+



4/2/10 Smackdown

Opening segment: Good Jericho/Edge promo until Jack Swagger cashes in MITB and becomes the new champ and looking serious despite losing to the likes of Santino weeks ago. Not buying it.

John Morrison/R-Truth vs. Cryme Tyme: Squash leading to Shad turning heel on JTG. Pointless.

Drew McIntyre vs. Matt Hardy: No match as Drew hits his finisher and leaves.

Great Khali vs. Dolph Ziggler: Terrible match.

Punk promo: This was his typical promo from the last year with hardly anything new.

LayCool vs. Tiffany/Beth Phoenix: Not a great match.

Kane vs. NXT rookies: Kane eliminates a few and then they gang up on him. Why?

Final segment: Decent promo exchange though Swagger as champ just isn't working.

Terrible Smackdown with no good matches and a guy who was a jobber last week becoming the WORLD CHAMP. Way too hard to suspend disbelief here.

Grade: F

6/18/10 Smackdown

Opening segment: Very good Punk promo setting up the main event.

Christian/MVP vs. Curt Hawkins/Vance Archer: Boring match with Christian actually getting pinned by Hawkins. Bad booking.

JTG vs. Chavo Guerrero: Bad filler match.

Drew McIntyre vs. Theodore Long: This was basically a poor man's Austin/McMahon, and Long laid down for Drew here. This didn't work because it was in the midcard and it was Drew McIntyre.

Kelly Kelly vs. Layla: Very bad match.

Swagger promo: This was pretty much a filler promo dedicating his PPV win to his dad.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Chris Masters: Squash.

Rey Mysterio/Big Show vs. Jack Swagger/CM Punk: Solid main event.

Very bad show outside of the beginning and end. Way too much filler for a go-home show and Hawkins hasn't benefitted from his win over Christian either, making this even more baffling.

Grade: D

7/2/10 Smackdown

Opening segment: Very average Swagger/Show promo exchange.

Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler: Solid match.

Peep Show: This was as good as usual.

CM Punk vs. JTG: Squash.

Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler: Solid match.

Jack Swagger Invitational: Your typical faux mat wrestling match between Swagger and MVP.

Alberto Del Rio vs. Carlos Sanchez: Squash.

Big Show vs. Luke Gallows: Squash.

Vladimir Kozlov/Santino Marella vs. Chavo Guerrero/Drew McIntyre: Not a great match.

Natalya vs. Layla: Glorified squash.

Atrocious episode that tried too hard to be funny, yet never coming close to it.

Grade: D

2/18/11 Smackdown

12 man tag: Good match but Edge uses the spear, which is banned, to beat Dolph. Vickie comes out, strips Edge of the title, gives it to Dolph, and fires Edge.

Layla/Maryse vs. Eve Torres/Beth Phoenix: Okay match.

Kofi Kingston vs. Miz: Solid match.

Santino Marella/Vladimir Kozlov vs. Justin Gabriel/Heath Slater: Bad match.

Vickie/Teddy promo: Very bad with Teddy rehiring Edge and making Dolph defend his title next.

Edge vs. Dolph Ziggler: Decent match though Edge regains his title, rushing the storyline and making all this pointless. Dolph's fired from Smackdown too.

Pretty bad show, with odd pacing, bad booking, and constant bragging about this being their 600th episode, like they were begging for Hollywood to accept them.

Grade: D

2/25/11 Smackdown

Undertaker promo: Very good promo on HHH in his return to Smackdown.

Beth Phoenix/Rosa Mendes vs. LayCool: Bad match.

Big Show vs. Kane: All angle to turn Kane face once again. Meh.

Cole promo: Your typical Cole promo, and it's silly to hype a former wold champ as the trainer of an announcer.

Jack Swagger vs. JTG: Squash.

Final segment: Decent Edge/ADR contract signing.

Decent show until the divas match, then it all fell apart.

Grade: C

3/11/11 Smackdown

Cody promo: A very good heel promo on the crowd.

Randy Orton vs. Alberto Del Rio: Not a great match and another screwy ending.

R-Truth vs. Jack Swagger: Decent match at best.
