WWE Smackdown 8/17/2012
This is the abridged international edition. Say what you will, but SD in 45 minutes is better than SD in 120 minutes.
This opened with a long montage with Sheamus and ADR.
ADR came out:
 |
| "I want my world title match back now. That peasant Sheamus came out and stole my car and he gets rewarded?" - ADR |
 |
| "I am the #1 contender." |
 |
Booker T came out.
"You're not a man. What you did is step across yo boundaries. I will not tolerate that here" - Booker T to ADR. |
Chris Jericho then came out:
 |
"You sound like a chihuahua."
"You want me to give him a spanish lesson? I can speak spanish too."
"Translation - I just said that his breath smells like dog poop."
"I"ve got a little proposition of my own. Since your not getting a title match of your own and since I'll be beating Dolph Ziggler at Summerslam, maybe I'll take your spot in the match against Sheamus." |
 |
| "How about we make a main event tonight? Chris Jericho vs Alberto Del Rio." - Booker T |
Cody Rhodes then came down after the break:
 |
"Last week, I tried to expose the abomination that is Sin Cara's face."
"Please, avert your eyes. I am now able to provide you this rendition of Sin Cara unmasked." |
 |
"Hahah, that's really what it looks like. I've seen him." - Michael Cole
"Ugly as sin." - Cody Rhodes |
Cody Rhodes and The Miz vs Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara
 |
| Rey and Cara then did double dives |
 |
| "Cody has this obsession with Sin Cara's mask." - Michael Cole |
 |
| Awesome 619 by Mysterio, perfect spot for this |
 |
The finish
"Mysterio, the legal man in this match." - Josh Matthews |
This was a good match. Fast paced and had some nice spots. Doesn't hurt that Rey and Cara are quite the dream team. Rating:**
 |
| Miz tried to attack after but got a 619 for his troubles |
Winner becomes Booker T's assistant - Kaitlyn vs Eve Torres
 |
| ARM-BAR |
 |
| "Kaitlyn told me today, her biggest idol: Chuck Norris." - Josh Matthews |
 |
| The pin, as Eve laughs at Teddy Long at ringside |
So-so match. It's the divas afterall! Eve won with a roll o' the dice neckbreaker. Eve is now Booker's assistant, YAY. Not. Rating: 1/4*
Randy Orton vs Daniel Bryan:
 |
"YES"
"NO" |
 |
| Orton takes a reverse dragon screw |
 |
| DB misses the shoulder |
 |
| DB whipped into the rails |
 |
| Kane's music hit and they teased him coming down, but he didn't. |
 |
| The Finish |
Decent match. Could have gone longer and would have been better without the Kane thing. Good work though by both men. Rating: *1/2
When they came back from the break Dolph attacked Jericho in the back, right before Jericho's match.
Dolph hit him with a tool cart. He then said, "You don't overlook me."
ADR tried to declare himself the winner since Jericho got beat up. Jericho still came out, I mean it was just a heavy tool cart afterall...
 |
| Y2J holds his ribs |
 |
"You wanna argue about this? Royal Rumble? Eliminated. Elimination Chamber? Lost. Wrestlemania? Lost. Extreme Rules? Lost Over the Limit? lost." - Michael Cole going on Jericho's resume this year. If he lost that many times, why is he in line to get a title match?
"Hey Stephen A. Smith, can I get a word in here?" - Josh Matthews |
 |
| DZ pulls the top rope down |
ADR then won with a low enzugiri. Good match but short. Not worth going out of your way to see but atleast it built up Dolph a little. Rating:*
 |
| "How's your arm eh? You'll never beat me." - DZ |
 |
Sheamus snuck down
"Bandaged up, bruised...Sheamus assaults Alberto Del Rio." - Michael Cole |
 |
"I want you to reinstate my title match against Alberto Del Rio." - Sheamus
"Sheamus, you're injured, I cannot do it." - Booker
"You'll have to rip off my arm from my body, and even then, you cannot stop me from getting in this ring." - Sheamus
"Sheamus, if I do it, you know it will be for the World Heavyweight Championship right?" - Booker
"Please reinstate the match." - Sheamus
"Then you got it." - Booker |
Overall thoughts: Even though this was abridged, this was good. Loved the Rey/Cara tag team match, Orton/DB was good and ADR/Jericho was good. Loved seeing DZ look strong too. Check it out!
