While last night's show was a good show (it usually is), there a few segments I want to focus on today.
As the title says, one will be the best part of the show, another will be the worst part of the show, and the other is just one of those "WTF" moments the business is known for.
The Good
Sheamus turning face. That entire 10 minutes in the middle of the show was done to near perfection. Mark Henry comes out looking like he wants to take on the world.
His opponent comes out—a complete jobber from Philly looking like he is scared to death to get in the ring with Mark Henry. He is probably outweighed by nearly 300 pounds, but he gets in there...and, well, gets destroyed. The World's Strongest Man just squashes him like a bug.
He gets the pinfall but is not done yet. He wants more! He wants some REAL competition! He wants somebody to fight NOW! Out comes Sheamus, and they stare each other down, as the crowd is clearly chanting for Sheamus and behind him 100 percent. A brawl ensues, and a battle between the two seems inevitable! Perfectly done—simple, yet effective!
The Bad
Morrison and R-Truth showing up. I can live with Truth because he wants answers from Triple H about the "conspiracy," but to drag Morrison over, fresh off of neck surgery, to have him lose his return match?
Not a good idea.
I know it was against Christian (World Champion), but it was not okay in my eyes. Truth fared better against Orton but was still beaten down by the end of the night. Just no reason for this - let Truth and John feud on Raw, likely leading to a SummerSlam match.
The Ugly
Honestly, I am not one to bash the "divas work". I can live with it. They are not a big problem like some like to complain about, but Friday was just not their night.
A six-person tag is usually good for a couple minutes, but this thing got about two minutes, and I suppose it sets up the battle royal on Raw, it just did not entertain me. Again, the women are not usually something I nitpick over, but this was just bad. B.A.D. Alicia Fox picked up the win with her nasty looking kick (seriously, that move looks brutal to take), and it was over.
Like I said, the show was good—Bryan and Wade had a nice promo segment; Bryan needs all the mic work he can get leading up to his big Mania moment. Zeke lost to Cody and Ted. Fine match there with Cody looking to get the IC strap soon. Zack Ryder, Teddy Long, and Triple H were all fun, while Orton set up his rematch for SummerSlam—NO HOLDS BARRED!
Again all fine by me, but one last question—where was my man Johnny Curtis?
