Title This: Friday Night Smackdown Reaction 10-14-2011

Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship/What Happened:

Orton hits fast and furious early on. Accordingly, Henry begins to dominate Orton, with power slams and boots to the throat. Orton morphs into the viper, striking from all areas. Cody Rhodes comes out, and Rhodes causes a DQ. He pounds away at Orton, and tries to paper bag Orton. Big Show comes out to stop the attacks, and punches Henry. He throws Rhodes into an RKO. Orton also goes after Henry, and Show hits a chokeslam to Henry. Orton and Show stand tall.

What I Liked:

The last match implimented two feuds. They progressed on the return of The Big Show, as well as the emergence of the Orton/Rhodes feud. Will Show or Rhodes win at Vengeance? Probably not, but I do think Rhodes needs a win over Orton to solidify himself as a main event caliber talent. I also enjoyed the ending, the unified Orton and Show, both aiding one another to hit their finisher.

What I Disliked:

Although I liked Show and Orton working together, both want the World Title… right? So, shouldn't they both be wanting the other to fail? I know both want Henry to suffer, they both want to hold gold. Other than that, the last segment was good, solid, and continued to show us the main guys that Smackdown is offering us.
