Harrak’s Quick Quips: WWE Smackdown 2.17.12

Reviews, Shows, Top Story, TV Shows

 

– Another injury for Orton. This is not a good trend. I just hope they don’t actually blame it on Daniel Bryan.

– Love the fact they actually went with a full Daniel Bryan heel turn. There was a nice build but I’m glad he’s not in a gray area anymore.

– Is that Scotty Riggs hanging out in the front row?!

– Did they change Barrett’s music again

– Holy abs, Barrett.

– I can see Christian somehow sneaking into the Chamber match & winning the belt. Sheamus needs a strong heel to face at WrestleMania & I don’t know if Barrett or Rhodes are over enough. Of course this is all if they are sour on Bryan.

– That place was going nuts for Big Show.

– Well that video package was about 6 weeks too late.

– What’s with the Outdoor Man gimmick, Ted? Goes really well with the “I Come From Money” theme.

– “You stole from me. And where I come from, that’s against the law.” Um… that’s against the law pretty much everywhere, “holmes”.

– DiBiase’s gear is looking suspiciously similar to the “Natural” Dustin Rhodes’ old gear.

– I love the Usos. Why they haven’t been given more of a chance baffles me.

– Seeing this match now leads me to two possible conclusions:

1: They are attempting get a glimpse of what these two have to offer in a WrestleMania match.

2: They are over Daniel Bryan and just want to get this match done with so no one will feel like they are missing anything at WrestleMania.

– Well was the last time you saw the winner of the Rumble face his brand’s champion on free TV before WrestleMania?

– Good finish that played into both characters perfectly. This actually restores my faith in a Bryan/Sheamus match at WM.

– Was anyone in the world psyched about seeing Jinder Mahal versus Ezekiel Jackson?

– So glad the random Alicia Fox push is over. All for Tamina vs Phoenix.

– Fox’s pose & model walk doesn’t work too well with the Snuka jungle music.

– Nice tease of making it seem obvious that Otunga was going to the Chamber. Realistically he probably is the most obvious choice.

– Stop talking about Santino, Cole! Perfect example as to why announcers should not be given match finishes.

– Tonight was probably the death nail for Zeke. Loss to Mahal & then the crowd chanting for the comedy character over you. Rough.

– That place went nuts for Santino. I have NO issue at all with him being in the Chamber. It’s different, won’t hurt the match since Khali is already in it & gives us a nice story for Sunday.
