After taking a few weeks to check this show out I’ve found it’s pretty enjoyable and I’m going to give reveiwing it a shot.

We’re still rolling here on the Road to WrestleMania!  Will ShoMiz respond to getting rolled over by John Morrison and R-Truth on Monday?  Will Chris Jericho continue to be rolled over by Edge when the number one contender to Jericho’s title is the guest on the Highlight Reel?  Will I continue to try to work the word “roll” into every sentence?

Let it roll, let it roll, Friday Night SmackDown is unstoppable, and it’s starting now!

Darren Young def. David Otunga

Darren Young, CM Punk’s rookie, defeated Jennifer Hudson’s fiancee and R-Truth’s rookie, David Otunga in the opening contest.  Luke Gallows and Truth got into a discussion outside of the ring, and as the referee was distracted, Punk tripped up Otunga, allowing Young to pick up the victory.

After the match, Otunga shoved Truth.

Promo: Daniel Bryan says he’ll headline WrestleMania some day.

Backstage: Bryan is getting looked at by the trainers, and Miz informs him that he’ll be facing Jericho’s rookie, Wade Barrett, next!

During the break, David Otunga and R-Truth got into a bit of a brawl before officials broke it up.

Chris Jericho is introduced, and he comes to the stage to introduce Wade Barrett

Video: Wade Barrett will dominate you, because that’s what will put money into his bank account.

Daniel Bryan’s ribs are taped up as he makes his way to the ring, sans The Miz.

The Miz and Carlito watch from a monitor backstage, as Barrett dominates early on.  Barrett hits a spinebuster and it’s too much for Bryan to overcome.

Chris Jericho attacks Bryan after the match and locks him in the old school Lion Tamer style Walls of Jericho.

Later on tonight, Justin Gabriel teams with his pro Matt Hardy to face Skip Sheffield and his pro, William Regal.

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

Backstage: Heath Slater is bragging about his and Christian’s win last week.  Christian tells him that he shouldn’t be overconfident, and that David Otunga won his match too.

Backstage: Justin Gabriel is excited to work with Matt Hardy.  Hardy says Gabriel will bring a lot of high flying maneuvers, kind of like a young Matt Hardy.  Here’s hoping he doesn’t get fat and wear tights that are too small for him.

Regal and Skip Sheffield make their way to the ring.

<COMMERCIAL BREAK>

Video: Skip Sheffield is a Corn fed Meathead.  He’s an entertainer, and he’s good at it.

Hardy and Gabriel make their way to the ring and we’ve got our main event.

Gabriel picked up the win for his team.  Matt Hardy dropped Regal with a  Twist of Fate, and Gabriel nailed a 450 splash, picking up the victory.

Backstage: Matt Striker is with the rest of the rookies.  Carlito comes in and spits in the face of Heath Slater.  He says that’s cool.  Slater doesn’t think so, but Striker says, “That’s NXT.”

Welcome, my friends to the show that never ends.  I’m so glad you could attend.  Come inside, come inside.  The Circus that is WWE Superstars is here.

Match 1:  Jack Swagger and William Regal vs Santino Marella and Chris Masters w/ Eve

Santino is absolutely hilarious! He hit a cartwheel and the drop-down splits and then attempted to unleash the cobra.  Swagger and Masters need to compete for the US Title.  The end of the match came when Masters put the Masterlock on Swagger, but Regal interrupted and Swagger hit the gutwrench powerbomb for the win.

Match 2:  Zack Ryder w/ Rosa Mendez vs Primo Colon

This was a highly entertaining match.  Primo is quick and exciting and Ryder is definitely a rising star in the WWE.  Woo Woo Woo…You know it!  Primo got in his fast offense, highlighted by his cartwheel.  Ryder hit the Rough Ryder and eventually the Zack Attack for the win.  Ryder is another guy who should be thrown into the US Title mix.  The problem with RAW right now is there are too many guys who should be involved in the US Title hunt. 

Match 3:  Luke Gallows w/ Serena vs Sylas Young

Its about time they give Gallows some time on his own without Punk.  He cut a promo saying Serena and him would like to dedicate the match to their Straight Edge savior, CM Punk.  This was a quick squash for Gallows to exhibit his power and dominance since most people don’t recognize him as the former Festus.  He has some unique offense and hit the 12th Step for the win.  Serena then gets in the ring and kicks Young in the ribs and out of the ring.

Main Event:  Great Khali, Matt Hardy, and Maria vs The Hart Dynasty

What is the point of Khali and Fatt Lardy being partners?  Surely they could have found a better partner that isn’t doing anything at the time for each of these two.  They both suck, so I don’t understand why people want to see them.  Khali can’t move and Hardy apparently is living off past glory.  It’s good he went back to the pants and got away from the baby pajama bottoms he was wearing.  The Hart Dynasty should be working more meaningful matches than this.  They are probably the best tag team in the WWE and should be shown as such.  Tyson Kidd hit the Hart Attack on Matt Hardy for the win. 

See ya next week for another arousing episode of WWE Superstars.

Holy crap, it’s a trifecta of ThinkSoJoE goodness this week!  Perhaps I’ll do a “ThinkSoJoE’s Thoughts” column this weekend and make it four!  I do have a lot to talk about this week, so that’s always a possibility.  Anyways, I watched SmackDown earlier, and hadn’t gotten online to get the message that Drow wouldn’t be here this week until just now, so I’ll do my best to relate to you what happened on tonight’s show.  And if my memory is fuzzy, there’s always YouTube…

Some NASCAR guy (note:  It’s Carl Edwards) hosts RAW tonight as we witness the next chapter in the war between Bret “Hitman” Hart and Vince McMahon. What role will John Cena and Batista play? Will Edge make another RAW appearance? And who will walk out with the Unified Tag Team Championships – DX, Miz-Show, or CM Punk’s Straight Edge Society? All this and more, tonight!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Welcome to the Delayed-Time Review of this week’s “Smackdown.” As opposed to a Real-Time, you see.

Tonight is the finale of ECW Homecoming for a shot at Christian’s title at the Royal Rumble.

Its’ the first ECW of the New Year and the last week of ECW Homecoming qualifying. CM Punk is taking on Mark Henry 1 on 1.

We’re at the final ECW of the year, and if rumors are to be believed we may be nearing one of the last ECW’s ever. We’ve got more ECW homecoming matches with Matt Hardy and Evan Bourne making their returns.
