Title This: WWE Super Smackdown Reaction 4-10

April 11, 2012

Piper's Pit with AJ and Daniel Bryan:

What I Liked:

Briefly, Piper brings Bryan out to the ring, who says at Exreme Rules, it will be 2 out of 3 falls with Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship. Furthermore, he says AJ will not be there to cost him. Piper calls out AJ, who is excited to be on Piper's Pit. Piper tells her not to talk to Bryan for what he said to her. She defends Bryan. Bryan gets upset at Piper who says he was using her. Bryan says if she loves him that she will leave the ring, which she does. Piper stops Bryan from leaving, calls him a coward, and says he cannot hide behind women. Bryan says he will show everyone, including Piper that his talent will slap Sheamus in the face and win the title back. Bryan slaps Piper in the face, runs up the ramp, and yells yes. I put all of this in the like column because I loved the whole segment. It did so much for the continued focus on the relationship between AJ and Bryan. It also gives us a rememberance of how good Piper can be getting the best acting out of talent. The slap was perfect, showing his cowardly side, as well as his smug and confident side all together. Piper, AJ, and Bryan did a great job together getting the best out of everyone. It made sense and worked like a gem. Well done.

Grade: A

The Great Khali, Alicia Fox, and Natayla def. Drew McIntyre and The Bella Twins:

What I Liked:

What is there to like in this match?

What I Disliked:

On Raw, you have one Bella beat Beth with the help of Kelly Kelly. At WrestleMania, both Bella's are on separate teams, but this week they are together? What is the point of that? That makes absolutely no sense. Also, when did Natalya become a face? This match made absolutely no sense to me. It did nothing for a live show, and made me really annoyed. There is no essence, no time, and no logic here. Poorly done.

Grade: F

Hunico def. Hacksaw Jim Duggan:

What I Liked:

I must really miss the point of this show. We get legends that we have seen time and time again on TV. Is there really a point to the show tonight? They go live but give us useless matches, idiotic stories, and things that will not be relevant a week from now. I wish I could say more about this, but seeing Duggan, Slaughter, and others really do not do a thing for me. I really appreciate the history and what they have done, but why did they need to do a "Blast from the Past" on a Live Smackdown?

Grade: D
