I can double post right? If so, here are my thoughts on SmackDown this week.

1.) Daniel Bryan, Wade Barrett, Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Mark Henry, and Randy Orton. Henry got taken out for running his mouth, and suddenly Teddy got his testicles from out of Aksana's purse. Mark Henry now suspended for touching Teddy Long, but what about Aksana? Hehehe. With all due respect to Mark Henry, he brought this upon himself. Talking reality, he got injured, and all main event plans were thrown out the door involving Henry. Look what happened, and he hyper extended his knee when he should've taken a break. He wanted to keep playing hurt. Sorry, that's just how it is, and it's good that he got taken away, it would've been too dangerous, and cost the match. Sheamus saved the day, good for him, and I like he was implying that he was going to wrestle matches before picking his world champion opponent, instead of talking. That's fine, Sheamus just needs to keep showing fans that he's world champion material, by wrestling guys. Simple. Cody Rhodes interrupting was awesome, very funny with the Ultimate Warrior comparison he mentioned. Rhodes did eliminate the most guys, and it shows that not winning the Rumble is the end of the world for some superstars. Got to tout other accomplishments from the Royal Rumble.

2.) Sheamus beating Rhodes cleanly. Another new move from Sheamus, first the Finlay Roll, and a new finisher. Looked like the Air Raid Crash, that's very nice. It was a great match, I've been thinking how Sheamus would fare facing each of the 6 Elimination Chamber participants, to tease how a Wrestlemania match involving him and a possible winner of the Chamber would be. As evidenced with Cody Rhodes, it would be very well paced, with the power of Sheamus really coming to play well, and the smarts of Rhodes. He has been perfecting his moonsault, that's nice, because back then, he never even hit it.

3.) Rhodes stayed ringside. A way to make up for his loss coming? Interesting. Hunico was nice, but his music shrouded his talk, it was hard to hear him. Rhodes attacked Justin Gabriel with Hunico and Camacho, which was nice. Thankfully when Khali came, Rhodes escaped from danger. So he's still alive after losing to Sheamus and being intimidated by Khali. I was never a fan of Great Khali, so I'm not necessarily pleased that he's back.

4.) It would be awesome if Drew McIntyre participated in the Elimination Chamber. He was so amazing last year: just vicious, pissed off, dominating left and right. Violence is possible in PG, Drew proved that! Man, how the mighty fell. The payoff is coming, I hope. "Massive piece of wood?" "Hoooo." Ok, that was a little funny.

5.) Rosa is a snake charmer, good one Cole. Short match, the tag team champions get another win in their book, that's all I want. The backstabber by Primo was very well done, it was less setup, and more of a float over effect, if that makes sense. Makes it less predictable of coming out.

6.) Yes! Yes! Yes! Bryan is still world champion. Bryan shrugged off a humble Michael Cole! Nice! Bryan was doing a sermon on how bad meat is, but I heard a "we want bacon" chant. I eat meat, but that chant was a little disrespectful. Bryan got the heat by saying he's healthier than the fans. That has to make him a great world champion! Bryan got angrier when he addressed Big Show, and it was even better. Calling him a failure, just running him down. Bryan wants Show off the Chamber, and he sure made a case. If Mark Henry isn't in the chamber, Show shouldn't be as well. They had their shots, for crying out loud. Great promo from Bryan, but his voice cracked here and there. I can look past it though. Big Show then comes out and runs Bryan down as a role model? Grr. Bryan's comeback was stronger than Show's talk! Big Show mowed Bryan down, and AJ comes. AJ could very well be my favorite diva now, she saved Daniel Bryan from certain Knockout doom. Bryan's character is further developing, and it's a good way to keep him fresh: preaching veganism, and being a caring boyfriend. Great segment all around.

7.) Farting again. Err, if it's funny, I'll laugh. It wasn't, so I didn't laugh. Fart moments are better as passing, occasional things, if it happens every week, it will be tiring. Despite the match being incredibly short, the thing to pay attention to was Beth Phoenix taking the win, shaking Natalya off. Hmmm. Face turn, Natalya vs. Beth Phoenix vs. Kharma at Wrestlemania. It would be epic, but that might not happen. Natalya just got kicked and splashed.

8.) The Great Khali in the Elimination Chamber? Uhhhh, I'm immediately more interested in the RAW elimination chamber. Better talent there, I think that goes without saying. Good interview with Randall Orton.

9.) Barrett's Barrage got its first pin loss, at the hands of Orton. It was a darn great match. Barrett will hopefully come off unscathed, as he continues his rise. Very physical, all over the place, and Randall even took a risky table bump. The fact he showed little signs of lingering injuries shows he's likely A-OK. That's cool man. It was pretty even until the final minute or two where it was obvious that Orton had Barrett beat. A stamp of approval with 2 RKOs to finish the job. Barrett's street fight mentality shined very well here, really taking it to Orton and putting up a fight. Orton too, and Booker's commentary deserves credit. Mentioning Orton's bursts of energy as adrenaline rushes, blocking out the pain. Most notably, the endless praise for Wade Barrett: future hall of famer, future first ever English born world champion. Booker was on his bandwagon, and put the heel over. It tells me that the Barrage isn't over yet. There is still the Elimination Chamber, weeks left for Wade to get some momentum back. Entertaining main event over all.

10.) Daniel Bryan and Randall Orton on SD! Come on! First CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, two dream matches on WWE PPV in two weeks? Oh boy. Bryan went to the ring, and stole all the attention of Orton's celebration! That's hilarious.

I would hate my life to be on the line while waiting for The Great Khali to make the save. More good news with him being in the elimination chamber.

solid match with Sheamus and Cody Rhodes. Keeping Sheamus strong. Cody wasn't killed or anything

Natalya farting . whatever . Beth Phoenix turning into Scott Steiner and tagging herself in to kill Aksana . I guess that is cool.

The Daniel Bryan promo was very good. Liked the line from Big Show about just finishing off a big steak . Bryan will not brainwash me meat rules.

I thought Khali was done with wrestling???

Im glad he is not. i know you guys hate him but I liek the larger than life characters in wrestling.


I want to see Show vs Khali At mania as a gimmick match.

The Battle of the Giants or have them tag up as a Dominating tag team.

I know i will get flack for this but...its all good.

I was impressed with sd this week. lots of good stuff

will somebody shut DB up. He is so fucking annoying on the pipe bomb

I am not a Khali fan, but in the grand scheme of things, I don't see who else would be in his place. Christian definitely, but he's injured, and if he were to be a return entrant, he'd have to win or have a really good showing. Everyone else isn't an established name like Great Khali. I see this as doing business with WWE. While he was gone, he was promoting the company in India, and they split contractually, on good terms. This could be one and done, or not. I actually would like to see Daniel Bryan continue the streak as the Giant Killer, but this time, actually pinning or making a giant, submit. Could happen in the Chamber.

Speaking of Daniel Bryan, I'd like to see him enter to Wrestlemania with the song "The Final Countdown" by Europe. He used it as his song in Ring Of Honor, but something about it fits him so well. Epic song to an epic show, featuring an epic world championship match? Why not?

Yeah, shut up the fool. Hard to believe Bryan somehow talked AJ into falling for his weakness. I am a vegetarian, so he was not talking about me.
I would like to see If Bryan can actually pin an opponent to keep the belt. I am tired of his winning without ever being in a match. He thinks he beat the Big Show so many times, but how many were actual pin-falls?
When did he actually "kill any giants?"
He walked away from the match with Henry, and he got AJ run-over by Show to keep his belt.

you might get your wish at the Chamber pay per view.

I mean the Elimination Chamber pay per view. He will have to pin or submit one wrestler at least if he is to retain the title. yes I state the obvious but whatever.

Be cool if he took out Big Show and Khali in the chamber . Even better if he took out all 5 ha ha, who am I kidding ?

As far Daniel Bryan actually pinning or making guys tap, I think it's most likely to happen at Elimination Chamber. His next scheduled TV match is against Randall Orton. That match is extemely intriguing, but I doubt Bryan will actually pin Orton. The most I hope for is Bryan not losing in any way shape or form. It would be worse if it was clean, because I think the fact his character is developing and he's still the world champion, he has the confidence of people backstage. It had to have increased after his match with CM Punk. I worry though on how Orton's going to be in Bryan's business. I just hope they clash at SD, Chamber, that's it. I don't want Orton winning the world title, whether that means Bryan getting a rematch at Wrestlemania or not. It's too late, the world champion needs a long term, for the hero Sheamus to end. Just doesn't have the same power when the titleholder has it for just 6 weeks, and either drops it to Sheamus (making them a transitional champion), or winning and thus making Sheamus' impactful Royal Rumble win, pointless. If Bryan took the title to Wrestlemania, Sheamus would be against a guy that people are growing to dislike. He's not really winning his matches, he now claims to be a role model, preaches veganism, and he celebrates way too much. Big Show called him an arrogant little ass. That's such a guy Sheamus would so want to beat up, who also holds the world championship. Makes for a better story, the prestige of the world title isn't diluted, plus these two already have history.

While anything can happen in WWE, I'm growing to think more and more that Bryan is taking the world championship to Wrestlemania. To me, that's a good thing.

I'm still holding out hope that Drew McIntyre attacks Khali and takes him out before the Elimination Chamber and enters in his place (comparable how Edge did it a few years back, to Kofi in 2009). Besides it being a good way to kill this "losing streak" angle, McIntyre was awesome in last year's Chamber - he'd be a good hand to have in the match.

My guess is that Bryan will retain at EC, but only eliminate the final guy. I wouldn't be surprised to see him be one of the two guys that starts and then stalls/hides/runs while the other 4 guys all come in, and then last to the end where he gets a cheap-pin over the final guy to retain. The fact that so many people are pissed that he's not 'earning' his wins shows - to me - that the angle is working.

And then, yeah, Sheamus over Bryan for the belt at Mania.

I see it in my head the usual happening . Yes, anything can happen in the WWE. remember that was the old tag line for WWF, along with shit like WWF unbelievable . ah, the good old days.

ok so back to today, when I said I see the Usual shit happening. that means Orton goes on an RKO rampage and takes out Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett, fuck it , it probably will happen.

where this leaves Show and Khali ? I have no idea.

burtog, I forgot that McIntyre was even in the chamber match last year. I blame that more on WWE than memory loss. I do remember now but you had to bring it up first . I think it is a good idea.

With the strong possibility of Sheamus being world champion, and Christian returning, I would love a title feud between those two. Christian and Sheamus never finished their feud because of Christian's injury. Something I didn't think about at all is how Christian could come in and make a world title triple threat match between himself, Sheamus, and Christian at Wrestlemania. That might not happen, but that's the only multi man match I'd be fine with. Simply because that feud never ended, and Christian wouldn't have to win the world championship. He can get his lawyers, or whine and complain to get into the match, it'd be awesome.

Something I read however is the discussion of a special Money in the Bank ladder match at Wrestlemania with all participants being former world champions. This allows for Christian, Ziggler, Orton to go to Wrestlemania with an always interesting match. However, learning of a house show match between Wade Barrett and Orton going past Elimination Chamber, maybe they will continue the feud. I don't know, I felt it had a definitive ending this past week. Maybe next week, Barrett will cost Orton his match with Daniel Bryan. Anyways, back to Christian, he could win that match, cash in on Sheamus right after he wins the world championship, their feud therefore gets a huge restart. Or he cashes in a real match. I would only want Christian or Dolph Ziggler (former world champion you know) to win such a possible match.

Oh and that idea of Drew McIntyre jumping Khali and forcing himself in the Chamber, would be awesome. Also, have at least one pinfall in the match to persuade Teddy Long that he means business.
