    "Fair"
    I am not one who complains about things being offensive, but my stomach did turn a little bit when Jack Swagger made his comments about the Gulf crisis. I am not going to write WWE a letter or stop watching program or anything over the top like that, but it was an unnecessary comment in my opinion. You can get Swagger over without doing it.

    Michelle McCool needs to be fired, but with her relationship with The Undertaker I do not see that happening. She makes Tiffany look like Fit Finlay in the ring.

    Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston were unable to recreate the magic from last week, but their bout was not the worst I've seen on WWE programming this week.moreless
  • Good episode of Smackdown. Kingston vs. Ziggler was the match of the night.

    Christian and Drew Mcyntire had a really good back and forth match. Christian picked up the win.

    Big Show and Luke Gallows had an alright match. I did not really expect too much from this match. Big Show gets the win via Disqualification. Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler had ppv quality match. These two should definitely have a match at Summerlsam with the IC title on the line. The Diva's match sucked. They need new Diva's.

    Jack Swagger fought Rey Mysterio to a no contest in a No DQ match. It was an alright match.

    Overall This episode of Smackdown was pretty entertaining.moreless

    "Good"
    Good show overall. Really surprising that after weeks of buildup and Kane attacking Swagger, he now says it's Rey that knocked out Undertaker.

    It would have made more sense to go with Swagger as the original plan was to have Undertaker and Swagger at Summerslam. However, we definitely haven't heard the last of this, it'll be interesting to see what actually develops when Undertaker comes back to wrestle.

    Match #1: Christian vs Drew McIntyre

    Good match, Christian finally gets a singles win in a while. Big match for him. This is a long bout, lots of pinfalls. Christian makes a miraculous comeback. Drew bashes his shoulder pretty well in the match. Christian fights back and gets a surprise win.

    I like Christian, he is overdued a Wwe title run. He is a professional though and knows his time will come.

    Match #2: Big Show vs Luke Gallows

    Not much of a match essentially this is one big revenge attack on Big Show after he unmasked Cm Punk and Joey Mercury. So we'll get a Cm Punk and Big Show feud for the upcoming week. Match #3: Kofi Kingston vs Dolph Ziggler

    Kofi gets Dd'ed after he loses it following Vickie's slap in his face. A rather nice change of pace as Stryker pointed out. It is a nice change of pace could help boost Kofi's run in the Wwe. He is the IC Champ, so he's got nothing to complain about. You have to wonder though how long will Dolph go without a title run. Match #4: Women's Championship: Tiffany vs Michelle McCool

    A short match. Tiffany makes a good showing with Superplex off the top ropes, but then loses after the distraction from Layla. I don't think Michelle should be fired. She's great as the Divas's heel as is Layla. They went too far with the whole Mickie James angle, but that's Wwe's doing not Michelle's. Match #5: No DQ: Rey Mysterio vs Jack Swagger

    Wild match here. I like Swagger. He can do no wrong at the moment watching this guy grow on Smackdown following Raw trade, you can tell he's cool and confident in his role. This feud with Rey is helping him build heat. Even though he's not the Champ, the Wwe has really built him to be a credible competitor, and a guy to be taken seriously.moreless
