Another Live Report From Last Night’s WWE Smackdown

Credit Brendon Field and prowrestling.net:

-There was no Superstars taping, unless they used they two dark matches. But from what I can tell they weren’t being filmed.

-We were amazed that we didn’t see a Divas match, especially since one was advertised. I’m pretty sure it was with Paige and Alicia Fox.

-I was very disappointed in the Hartford crowd for giving Roman Reigns as much support as they did, particularly after that garbage match with Big Show. I fear it cleared all doubt from Vince McMahon’s head. The smarks were as vocal as they could be, but alas, outnumbered. Most people there were family and young kids.

-All in all, my friend and I felt we received noticeably less for our money than we would have at Monday’s Raw. It was a routine Smackdown, nothing special. The XL Center was adamant about not offering refunds until yesterday, when Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton were pulled from advertising, and clearly much else that was not shared with us.

Dark Main Event
-John Cena and Dean Ambrose beat Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt. The anti-Cena folks had worn themselves at this point. Average match, all four men were firing on half of their cylinders.

Dark Matches
-Jack Swagger beat Fandango. Good reaction for Swagger, interesting finish with a chain of reversals into the ankle lock.

-R-Truth beat Bad News Barrett. Truth’s entrance was longer than the match, which he won clean. I have no idea what they’re doing to Barrett or why.
