This episode of Smackdown was a marked improvement over last week. I'll cut the crap and get straight to the action.
PROS
~ The opening promos did a good job of setting up the main event, a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Championship. I'm surprised that Dolph retained. I don't mind it so much, but if they want Dolph to get over as a heel, they should have him split with Vickie Guerrero. Right now, he's just a heel by association feeding off of his kayfabe girlfriend's cheap heat. He should have his own heat.
~ The Big Show/"Dashing" Cody Rhodes match. Those chops were fucking serious, son! Cody's chest was bleeding as he walked up the ramp. Damn.
~ The Drew McIntyre/Trent Baretta match. Two things...I'm liking Drew's character, and I enjoyed seeing Trent finally work another match on Smackdown. It's too bad that The Dudebusters are dead.
~ The tag match between Edge/Rey Mysterio and Kane/Alberto Del Rio. There were a few inventive double-team moves.
~ Chavo Guerrero is officially a crowd favorite. His segments were funny as hell.
~ The Diva's match! Ever since Natalya won the title, this division has been getting more and more respectable. Last night's contest between Natalya/Beth Pheonix and LayCool actually extended beyond a commercial break. Unreal.
CONS
~ Teddy Long is an awful actor.
Only one con? I can't believe it either.
