This is the WWE SmackDown live thoughts for September 21,
2012. The show opens up with the returning WWE champion, WWE Tag Team champion,
WWE Intercontinental champion, World champion, WCW US champion and WWE Hall of
Famer Edge. I am so glad he is back and hopefully he returns to WWE more often
than twice a year. He announces that he is in Philadelphia because they are the
home of the Broadstreet Bullies aka Philadelphia Flyers. Which I will hit the
pause button because Edge is a known New Jersey Devil fan, those teams are
RIVALS! Anywho Edge also says that he will be on Haven tonight. He is once
again a fan of WWE and says how it surprises him that Kane and Daniel Bryan are
now the Tag Team Champions. This brings out Bryan who ends up doing the Yes/No
fight which I want to see a botchamania video of Rabbit Season/Duck Season
dubbed in. Kane enters and Edge challenges Kane to remember the fact that Kane
is the Big Red Machine, the man who tombstoned the priest that was marrying Edge
and Lita. Kane says he should do something about the history and hugs Edge who
has his eyes pop out of their sockets. They offer to Bryan to join in a three
way hug but before he could “The Intellectual Savior of the Masses” Damien
Sandow comes out and says that the Bryan-Kane saga has gone on too long. I must
say to see Sandow being put in with legends and establish characters does nothing
but help him become a star that I am so glad to see he is becoming. Sandow took
an already great segment and turned it into an amazing segment. This turns into
a match between Sandow and Kane which Sandow won by his cross-arm neckbreaker after
interference by Bryan. Personally the match was not that good. I feel they
could have done better. The return of Edge is brought to you by #Awesomeness while
the match is brought to you by #Letdown.
We return and Kane is irate looking for Daniel Bryan and
Kane runs into Dr. Shelby. Kane wants his title belt back and is willing to
tear Bryan’s goatbeard off hair by hair. Dr. Shelby has a trust exercise and it
ends in Kane getting his title back. I must say I like Kane and D-Bry as a team
but Dr. Shelby is annoying. This segment is brought to you by #GetridofShleby.
After a video package rehashing the Brogue Kick (Sheamus’ bicycle kick) being banned and reinstated Alberto Del Rio is seen in Booker T’s office justifying the reinstatement of the Brogue Kick. Booker says while it may not have been fair to reinstate it before Del Rio facing rival Sheamus at Night of Champions last Sunday, he will not give Del Rio a rematch unless he proves himself. This segment is brought to you by #Letitend.
It is time for WWE diva action as Gizmo’s mommy Natyala
takes on former Diva’s Champion Layla as current champion Eve is ringside.
Kaitlyn was supposed to be wrestling Layla at Night of Champions went down due
to a sneak attack by Eve. Helen Keller could have seen that. The match was good
but short. Too bad there was no Skyade moves done by Layla. Layla wins with her
Layout neckbreaker. This match is brought to you by #tooshort.
I would recap the tag team match where former WWE champion Alberto
Del Rio and World Heavyweight title Money in the Bank briefcase holder Dolph
Ziggler took on former WWE and World champion Randy Orton and World Heavyweight
champion Sheamus but it is was the same old match you’ve see from these four. Out
of the four, I only really like Ziggler and Sheamus. To me, Orton and Del Rio
are boring. And it does not help when you have these four fight on for several
weeks in the same matches. Orton and Sheamus won after Orton hit his jumping
cutter called the RKO on Del Rio and Sheamus drilled Ziggler with the Brouge
Kick. If you ask me, this match has happened far too often of late. Can we
PLEASE have new matches. This match is brought to you by #SomethingNewPlease.
Next up is Daniel Bryan taking on former WWE
Intercontinental Champion, son of “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes,
half-brother of Goldust and Grandson of a plumber, Cody Rhodes. This was a very
good and very enjoyable match between two athletes that was ruined when Kane interrupted
the match to distract Daniel Bryan when he went for the No Lock, a modified
crossface submission. Cody won with his Cross Rhodes rolling cutter. This match
is brought to you by #RematchPlease.
We come back and WWE Tag Team champions (and rivals) Kane
and D-Bry are having a shouting match. All of a sudden Damien Sandow and Cody
Rhodes are there laughing at them to which they are challenged by the champs
for a match. This segment is brought to you by #YesYesYes!
“The Funkasaurus” Brodus Clay and his Funkadactyls Cameron
and Naomi are coming to the ring and dance. Brodus is a 360 pound wrestler who
dances before and after matches. His opponent this evening is a wrestler with
an annoying gimmick where he thinks he is a one man band, Heath Slater. Brodus
looked like he could have destroyed Slater but then Jinder Mahal and Drew
McIntyre come to the ring and attack Brodus. Jinder is an Indian-Canadian and
Drew McIntyre is the former Chosen One from Scottland. I actually forgot Drew
had a job at this point. They triple team Brodus as Cameron and Naomi look on
and scream in terror. This match is brought to you by #Interesting.
Now it is time for former WWE United States champion and
joke wrestler Santino Marella to take on the man who beat him and current US
Champion, Antonio Cesaro. The history between these two is Cesaro won after
Santino’s trademark Cobra had eyes for Cesaro’s girlfriend Aksana. Aksana
brought Cesaro into WWE and led him to success thus far in WWE. Cesaro has the
match won by dominating most of it until Aksana tries to grab the Cobra sleave
of Santino as Cesaro hits the ropes. The referee is distracted as Cesaro hits a
pop-up European Uppercutt which should have had Santino down. Santino gets a
roll up for the win. I would have personally waited a few more weeks so Santino
would have been serious. Cesaro is furious and breaks it off with Aksana in
Swiss, French, German, Italian and English because he is VERY European. This match
is brought to you by #TooSoon.
It is time for the final match of the night, Rhodes and
Sandow taking on Kane and D-Bry, THEY ARE THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! Three other
tag teams surround the ring as Jimmy and Jei Uso, Titus O’Neil and Darren Young
the Prime Time Players and the team of Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd are there
to watch on. I feel this match made up for the lack of action from the previous
singles matches from the evening. These four are some of the best wrestlers on
the roster. The match ends in a disqualification after Rhodes uses a chair on
Kane but then Kane and D-Bry actually team up together and start to wail on
Sandow and Rhodes with the chairs. The other tag teams try to leave but then
are brought in and destroyed. I like that Kane and D-Bry seem to be becoming a
team. I hope Rhodes and Sandow may continue as a team, I feel they could be
money if done right. This match is brought to you by #potential.
This episode of SmackDown was enjoyable and we are at the
start of a lot of things that can turn into interesting television for WWE.
