SMACKDOWN is Solid, But Not Super(or Live) from the UK

This weeks Smackdown was a good show, but as the title "SuperSmackdown LIVE!" it was promoted under, is was not exactly super. Maybe it was because the show was just a taped one instead of a live one(as it was promoted under), and the show did not feature both WWE brands, but this just felt like a normal episode of Smackdown, just airing on a Tuesday.

The main event Falls Count Anywhere match started out shaky, as Del Rio looked very much off-pace. The action, however, improved as the match went on. My favorite spot in the match was when Orton backdropped Del Rio onto the stage from the floor. That was very cool to watch, and Randy beating Ricardo into the Phone Booth & closing the door was pretty innovative too.

Since these two are currently still in a feud, I expected a dusty finish, but Orton surprised me with a clean victory, and the show went off the air less than a minute later. Counting commericals, the match went on for around 25 minutes, which is a rarity for a TV main event.

Another match of note was the IC Title match, which was another hot contest.

And we got a William Regal match, which is another rarity. He lost, but it remains to be seen if he will continue to be involved in the Sheamus/Big Show feud, which by the way I still don't care too much for. Hopefully that train wreck ends at Survivor Series...
