Think I'll have a wank over these tomorrow.
Can someone please explain to me what the point of burying Kofi like that was? Everyone's saying "trade him to RAW", but what they did to him on this show doesn't make me confident about his future on that brand, or any brand. That said, that was really good for Sheamus and I like how he's now "full steam ahead",Opening was better than I thought it would be considering Orton was doing his normal burying. Frankly, I don't think I have too big of a problem with it. I've come to terms with Super Orton. John, no way they turn him heel, he's Cena with 100% of people cheering him. Despite what people say about Henry I like the new direction and I always liked it when he was a heel. I hope he gets a decent push.Cara and Swagger was decent.Overall, forgettable smackdown.
Womens I skipped, although LOL at the worst dubbing ever.
Fair enough about Kofi, I didn't think of the fact that he looked good on Monday. I'm still skeptical about his potential run on RAW though, we'll see.BTW one thing I really loved on SD, and it might be a little thing, but was Swagger doing push ups on Cara after a big move. I hope he continues doing that.
