Steve Austin was once pinned by Hacksaw Duggan.

He also lost the US Belt to him too.

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

If this is turning into a little feud between the US champ and IC champ, then I definitely have no problems with Santino's win. It'd be nice for both of them to have something to do, and maybe even end it with a match where the winner gets both titles or unifies them into one at least.

Santino has gotten a little push recently just like Cody. It's not the end of the world to lose to the US champ (who also has technically been closer to becoming a Heavyweight champ recently than Cody) imo.

B) Actually impressed at the Orton/Sheamus backstage promo. Moreso impressed by Orton than Sheamus, since I know Sheamus is a good talker. Good for both. Wish they had Jericho and ADR around too though.

It seems like Orton works a little better on the mic going up against another face. Him not playing the completely good guy in a feud makes him better.

People also forget that Santino was a serious IC champ at one point in his career.

Funny that that is actually referenced tonight.

Thought's from tonight's Smackdown:

1. Eve again

2. I wonder if Sin Cara's chemistry will be better next week.

3. Big Show is uncertain of whether he should stand or sit.

4. Sandow's russian leg sweep was awesome, as was his promo.

5. WTF @ Ryback's eye.

6. Pretty awesome finish to his match, but still, that eye, man.

7. YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

8. Because of the former as well: No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

9. Surprised Ricardo made the final event.

10.

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

Actually lots of interesting stuff on the show tonight:

Eve. Nothing new about her, just....Eve.

I think Cody Rhodes is SERIOUSLY cementing himself as Top 2 or 3 overall talent in the entire company. I ****ing love what he does. He is extremely good. I really can't say anything different each time. It's remarkable. Wanna bring back credibility to the IC belt? Have a match between Rhodes and Christian go on last at a PPV. Doubt it'll ever happen nowadays, but they should.

Ryback is pretty damn impressive. Crowd seems to be into him too. I think he lasts a good bit, but like I always say, once he loses then what?

I was legitimately laughing at Santino and Ricardo, specifically when Ricardo was running the ropes.

MILLIONS AND BILLIONS! MILLIONS AND BILLIONS!

I love Damien Sandow. Great character.

Big Show's promo was decent, but I really liked the line about "when you're drowning, do you care who throws you the lifeline?" or whatever. Very good.

Damn, I haven't seen that many chairshots since The Rock annihilated Mick Foley at the Royal Rumble. That's an...interesting twist for Bryan.

Finished this weeks episode just now.'

Sin Cara looked like he had a lot more chemistry this time around. Only one match though, so we'll see.

Good showing by Ziggler against Sheamus. More matches like that for Ziggler please.

Damn you Santino. DAMN YOU! First tag team match I've seen in awhile where one person didn't even get tagged into the match and won.

Big Show is still angry. I'm guessing he'll probably have some Handicap match against Ryder and Santino on Smackdown or Raw soon or a 1-on-1 with one of them.

Daniel Bryan's laugh at AJ was hilarious.

Tyson Kidd got in a match against Cody which is great. Glad to see him get off a couple moves.

Enjoyed the last half of the WWE Title match (which it was nice to see defended on Smackdown). Kane's music and flames turning into Big Johnny's music/entrance video made me laugh as well. AJ better watch herself around Kane. We all know how that goes.

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

Said it on Twitter but AJ really needs to align with Kane. She's already got the crazy thing going, she's already got the red/black thing going. She can be a demon woman. Would certainly make Kane more interesting too.

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

I'm watching Smackdown on Youtube. 1. the pop for Punk sounded fake, not sure how it sounded on tv. 2. I really miss Raw and SD having two seperate trons that made them unique.

[BDKiiing]

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

Also, Kane's uppercut to Punk off the springboard, and Danielson's double dropkick were sick.

I've always liked Kane's backroll out of the ring. And clearly based on how SD ended Kane is having a one and done PPV, as Punk and Danielson will continue.

and lastly "The WWE Championship at No Way Out will now be a triple threat match. People Power!" was absolutely golden.

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

I'm throughly enjoying the Primetime Players and the “Intellectual Savior of the Unwashed Masses”. Cesaro's video clip was pretty cool too.

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

Ryback, GOOD LORD!

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

I missed SD! tonight. I shall watch later tonight/tomorrow.

"Allow me to beg your indulgence for a moment......"


Sandow is ****ing awesome.

And Cody Rhodes is getting better and better week after week. He's the best in the company at this very moment since Jericho's suspended and Punk has leveled off.

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

I see they let Drew job to Sin Cara.
