I am looking forward to getting my spreadsheet organized this weekend so I can pass this show on to someone. This show makes Smackdown of 2 years ago look like gold. My god was this a snoozefest. I hope that's not a weekly problem.

This weeks episode, not very good.
I don't remember who was on Smackdown 2 years ago, though you have always hated that show regardless of who is on it so we'll take it with a grain of salt. And since that time its far and away the best wrestling show on TV. With the only blip being when they had Batista there temporarily over the winter, he is is a waste of space and was taking screen time from the guys with talent.
I was ballparking the 2yr timeframe. All I remember is how not a single decent wrestler was on the show and I fastforward at 3 speed on my dvr to get through it.
I've always been partial to Raw because that's the show the McMahon-Levesque family has always put their energy in to. If they were realistic and spread the talent around they could all be decent programs. I'll give NXT another try next week. Btw, why do the announcers kill Daniel Bryan? Am I crazy or is he the best talent? They talk about him like he has no business even being in a ring.

Cole buries him (and the internet and Indy wrestling), Josh Matthews is a fan. I think they are trying to do the heel/face announce duo so there is a bit of extra kayfabe reality tv thing where they can't agree... like Simon and Paula or something.

Danielson has the most talent there if they let him do his thing, and he does seem to be the focus so thats good (even though they won't let him win a match yet).
Barrett and Justin Gabriel probably fit the WWE mold best. Otunga too, despite a lack of wrestling ability. They like his crossover appeal.
