Re: WWE: The Revival
SmackDown looks good. I'll have a review up sometime later today
EDIT
SmackDown Review
- Good opening commentary hyping the show. The JBL interview of Mysterio seems old and generic but it should be okay as long as it makes something interesting out of it. Batista vs. Great Khali sounds like a meh main event but if it is kept short and sweet then it should be fine as well. Losing at Cyber Sunday made Batista lose a lot of credibity but this promo was very good. Batista vs. Undertaker again at SS? Should be gimmick or somebody else should get involved like maybe Edge. Batista was very intense and I actually like him as champion
- A good push going for Jesse and Festus. The match was good for SmackDown but D&D could've gotten a lot more offence as they were former tag team champions. I like them as well. They still have to get better to be ready for the titles imo. JBL interview up next?
- JBL promo with Mysterio was okay but it was almost just the same as with Finlay interfering. This was a good way to advertise the Rey DVD and both men were caught well in character. Chavo returning is not something I imagined. I would've thought it was Finlay again. Rey won but Chavo could've. This was a good way to give Mysterio a mini push. So Finlay does attack Rey. This just continues this rivalry and I hope you can have a good match with the two in a blow off. JBL teasing a fight was a good part as well. I hope he comes back soon and with an angle. I don't want him to just come out of retirement.
- MVP/Hardy promo was just the usual but it meant that both men were well written. Chuck Palumbo vs. MVP is predictable and I hate Palumbo as well. The match was better than I expected but it's still Palumbo. Glad that MVP retained the title, which I knew would happen. Matt Hardy vs. MVP @ Survivor Series in a ladder match pls
- Jamie Noble with his usual antics in Vicky's office. Usual Noble promo but instad of CM Punk it was Kane here. A little similar to real SmackDown but since it is the first episode, you still have time to take things in a different direction. I hope Noble gets some kind of push as I really like him. Another obvious winner in a sqash match. Noble could've gotten a little more offence as well. Kane is not at the level of Batista, Taker of Khali so Noble could've done some decent damage on Kane atleast. Kane and Hanry could have a good feud if done right. I'm intrigued but maybe if this was to happen when the referee was down then Noble might've been able to pick up a win over the Big Red Monster. The beatdown was really good
- I don't really know Runjin Singh's character but he looked alright here. Khali should speak something. This is BTB, you could've have him learn a little bit of English and speak some time as a monster would. The main event is not going to be short is it? The match was not as boring as it could've been. But Khali shouldn't have lost to one spinebuster. Atleast 2 or maybe even 3 spinebusters would work. You could've done a Batista Bomb as well in ways in which Batista doesn't actually have to lift him up. The finish made Khali looks weak but it was okay. Undertaker distraction after the show was good but there needs to be a little more physicality if you're continuing this feud. Khali taking down Batista afterwards was good but a sour end to a show. I like Batista and Khali and JBL implying that Undertaker may want Batista out of the title picture is a good way to end the show with a question mark
- Overall the show was pretty good like RAW, leaps better than ECW. I'll tune in soon for the next series of shows
EDIT II
I don't have a BTB running right now. I'm just reviewing shows that I like
