- Big Show was shown arriving in his bus after being told by his driver that the coast is clear. Show came to the ring and complained about the fans's double standard. "Because I'm not popular, it's fair to attack me?" Show said we're cheating a criminal in Alberto Del Rio. "When you're popular, you can do anything you want to. I just don't get you people. You call ME a bully and a bad person?" he said.

Show announced to the crowd that Del Rio was suspended. He held Booker T accountable because is jealous of Show's accomplishments, ability, wealth, and career longevity. Booker interrupted to a great live reaction. He accused Show of being a bully toward Ricardo Rodriguez and the fans. But, Show accused Booker of feeding Del Rio his hotel information to attack him during Raw.

Booker said he treated all Superstars equally, and the fact that he suspended Del Rio is proof of that. But, Show again asked, "Who gave Alberto my hotel details?" Booker avoided the question and informed Show that he would face Kane tonight.

(1) Cody Rhodes pinned Kofi Kingston with Cross Rhodes. Nice, dominant first Smackdown victory for Rhodes during his new singles run. Poor Kofi, though. At least he has a cool ring entrance.

(2) Great Khali squashed Titus O'Neil.

- Post-match, Mark Henry's music played to a great ovation. Henry hit the ring and decimated Khali with World's Strongest Slam. Loud "Welcome Back" chants followed. Henry then got on the mic and said the Hall of Pain is now open again. This led to a recap of Henry's attacks from Raw. "That! Is what I do!" he shouted. Henry said it's Booker's fault for not calling him to compete in the Chamber match. "How do you forget the strongest man who ever lived?!" Henry shouted. Henry demanded an explanation.

Booker T came out and said Henry can't expect results by bum-rushing the roster. He said there is no room in the Chamber for him. Henry responded that if there isn't room, then he will make room. Henry threatened to take everyone else. Booker replied by saying that if Henry beats Randy Orton tonight, then he will qualify for the Chamber.

(3) Big Show beat Kane with the WMD in quick fashion.

- Post-match, Del Rio was shown in the parking lot. He told Big Show that he made some changes to Show's tour bus and invited him backstage to take a look. Big Show arrived in the parking lot to find his bus on blocks, wheels removed. As Big Show lamented over the bus, Del Rio poured a bucket of orange paint off the roof onto Show's head. Del Rio drove off as Show hollered in anger.

(4) Jack Swagger squashed Justin Gabriel.

(5) Tensai beat Drew McIntyre via DQ. Tensai hit a two-handed chokeslam and went for the pin, but 3MB ambushed him. Brodus Clay made the save, then they danced in the ring.

(6) U.S. champion Antonio Cesaro squashed Sin Cara. Cesaro won with the Neutralizer.

(7) Mark Henry beat Randy Orton clean with the World's Strongest Slam to qualify for the Chamber match.

End of Smackdown taping.

Post-taping, Big Show called out Del Rio. Del Rio obliged and met him in the ring for a slugfest. Del Rio capitalized with a chair and sent Show reeling to the back. And, that's all for tonight.

Overall, what a marathon taping. The flow of the show was off tonight. There were literally five-minute breaks between each segment and pointless video packages throughout. There's no need for that during a Smackdown taping. There was no opportunity for the crowd to pick up any steam and the mood in the arena was pretty flat throughout.

Started watching the show just about now and wanted to post this.

Did anybody lol when Booker T called Big Show Nig during the entrance promo? Instantly thought of "Hogan, we commin for you, .....".

This Smackdown was good. But I think Randy Orton will win Elimination Chamber match.
 
#113 ·
Orton won't ever be Champ again, maybe a number 1 contender for a lower level PPV. He's too much of a risk to be fired via a 3rd drug strike. He'll be the ultimate jobber to the stars.

He's not at that Cena/Sheamus/Ryback level of booking anymore, not even close. Those guys would never lose to a midcarder like Barret clean, or be squashed the way Mark did to Randy this Smackdown

I also believe Orton will win the chamber match. Overall it was a fair show, not one of the strongest as of late but watchable. The main event, Henry's promo and Sin Cara versus Cesaro were the highlights for me, Kofi versus Rhodes was also a fun watch. Unfortunately the rest of the show wasn't anything that special, Del Rio getting his own back at least advanced their feud.

Full recap on my blog.

WWE Smackdown 2/8/2013

The show had:
Kofi Kingston vs Cody Rhodes
Great Khali vs Titus O'Neil
Kane vs The Big Show
Jack Swagger vs Justin Gabriel
Tensai vs Drew McIntyre
Sin Cara vs Antonio Cesaro
Mark Henry vs Randy Orton

I reviewed the show with pics/gifs/quotes here:
http://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/wwe-friday-night-smackdown-282013-review.html

Overall thoughts: Lots of matches but little wrestling if that makes any sense. Cara/Cesaro was good but short and it was probably the best thing wrestling wise. The show felt like it went on forever though. Henry and Show both were pretty good though on the mic.

Some shots from the show:

- Cesaro/Cara needed more time, maybe a future match on Main Events.
- I actually like ADR right now, at least in this feud.
- Hall of Pain, i hope people are right and WWE is setting up Henry/ADR at WM.
