Title This: WWE Smackdown Reaction 2-22

Daniel Bryan vs. C.M, Punk Ends in a No Contest:

What I Liked:

A fantastic bell to bell match here, with two techincians in the ring working perfectly. I loved the aggression we got from each Bryan kick, as well as the meticulous way Punk was able to regain his offensive steam. Bryan's suicide dive followed by a clothesline off the top rope is a great way to transition into his next moves. It has athleticism and intelligence. When Long restarted the match, it was just a way to get him to take more control. Control issues are always important when "running a show." I liked this facet. Also, neither looked weak and the match was excellent due to their equal opportunities and offensive maneuvers. Long and Laurinaitis are continuing to feud at the end of the night.

What I Disliked:

This is a prime example of why Otunga vs. Jackson did NOT need to be on the card. Let the feud progress from mid carders to main eventers. That is a logical way to do this. Also, I wonder if Bryan will ever get a clean and impressive win. What will happen in the coming weeks with him? You know we will see Jericho and Bryan vs. Punk and Sheamus soon, but each week needs to have some sort of conflict from all guys involved.
