Okay so I just got home from seeing a WWE Smackdown house show, and it was really good. I have a couple of problems but they don't detract from the good parts.
So the opening match was Matt Hardy Vs Christian, a very gtood choice, which explains why it was on most Smackdown shows last July. Once it got going about a minute and a half in it didn't really stop nor did any wrestler get an advantage for a significant amount of time, and naturally there was a lot of high flying. The ending came after Christian tried to reverse the Twist of fate into the killswitch only to be flipped over by Hardy, but Christian landed on his feet before his leg buckled and Matt turned around and delivered the Twist of fate for the three count. Really good opening match but nothing extraordinary,
The second match was a divas match, which confused me because I figured the bathroom match would be later in the night. Anyway for some reason Serena was tagging with Layla which is confusing for two reasons, one Serena hasn't wrestled at all, or at least since joining the Straight Edge Society (SES) and two Layla already has a tag team partner. Their opponents were Kelly Kelly, who would have trouble wrestling her way out of a paper bag and Natalya who is one of the few capable female wrestlers in WWE, a group which doesn't include any of the other females in this match. Naturally this means 90% of the match is Layla and Serena beating on Kelly, though they work in an angle about Layla bossing Serena around, eventually Kelly gets the tag to Natalya and Layla, smartly tries to tag in Serena, though Serena just walks away. Natalya then beats up Layla before tagging back in Kelly Kelly who finishes off Layla and gets the three count. Upon doing research it seems Serena actually can wrestle and has been for five years, well she didn't really do anything that made me see her being good but I'll reserve judgement for later.
The third match involved Alberto Del Rio, a guy who hasn't ever wrestled on WWE, because apparently the rest of the locker room didn't want to come over to Australia or something, against Chavo Guerrero. Chavo starts out strong but this just leads Alberto to walk out of the match, or at least he starts to but the crowd starts chanting "You are a wanker" and he gets back into the ring, only for Chavo to get on the microphone and inform him what the audience was saying, and then mouthing he doesn't know what it means after getting rid of the microphone. So Alberto takes control of Chavo for quite a while and the only interesting thing that happens is another chant of "You are a wanker" breaks out. Eventually Chavo makes a comeback and even hit the Three amigo's, he heads up top for the frog splash but Alberto gets his knees up and at that point it's academic as Alberto drags Chavo to the middle of the ring and locks in a submission move on Chavo's heavily injured arm which Chavo taps to in about two seconds, and Chavo's career takes another hit, which is annoying as he's actually been allowed to win a couple of matches lately.
Up next was 'dashing' Cody Rhodes Versing M.V.P. Even before the bell it was going well with M.V.P. taking a sign from the crowd reading 'Douchebag' Cody Rhodes and showing it to the crowd and Cody. Cody then tries to make a deal with M.V.P. if M.V.P. doesn't hit him in the face he won't hit M.V.P. in the face, he does this because apparently his teeth cost $20,000, which he comments is more than the woman with the sign will make in her life. M.V.P. responds by slapping Cody in the face, Cody then rolls out of the ring and walks off, but at the count of nine he gets back in the ring because apparently he didn't really want to lose. So the match happens, and I remember nothing about it besides that M.V.P wins so that should tell you how good it was.
As there was an interval at this point and it's currently 1:30 I'll wrap up here an give a recap of the last four matches tomorrow morning
