Coverage and thoughts on the April 19, 2013 episode of Smackdown
The show starts with Fandango coming to the ring. He flirts with Lillian and tells that she is looking excellent tonight. Then he asks if Lillian has ever been “dipped” before. Has she ever made moves on anyone before? Then he asks if she has ever Faandanngoed before. He says it feels real good. She goes to leave the ring but he holds onto her hand and “Fandangos” her into his arms. Then he dances with Lillian and hits on her. Then he tells Lillian that was absolutely terrible and then drops her to the mat. He then tells Lillian that she is a beautiful woman but there is nothing beautiful with the way she dances. Then Lillian leaves the ring. Then Fandango says that Lillian is just like these people who butcher his name & mock his dance. Then he asks Lillian if she can at least say his name right. Then he starts to say his name but then Santino Marella’s music hits & he comes out. He says that “Fandingel” has a very insulting way about him. Fandango’s a very rude person. The way he talks to the fans & what he just did to Lillian, then he says hello to Lillian. Then he says Fandango that he’s a real son of a gun. Then Santino says that it pains him to admit it but Fandango has good moves. Then Santino gets in the ring and says that dance looks like so much fun and he was into the way the cheerleaders did it on youtube. Santino hopes the fans don’t if he does his rendition of the “Fandingel.” First Santino wants to introduce his dance partner. He’s mean and green and he loves to bite. He wants to “Fandingel” all through the night. Then he gets his sock cobra. Santino & the cobra are gonna do a 2 step all over Fandango’s face. Then they play Fandango’s music & Santino dances. Lillian finds this comical (I sure don’t). Then Fandango charges at Santino but Santino yanks down the tope rope & Fandango falls out of the ring (Man this is stupid). This was idiotic! The Fandango character is awful & having Santino come out and be the not funny man made this even more idiotic!
Santino Marella vs. Fandango. Fandango gets the pin. This was a really short match. Then he gets the mic and his chick comes in & split legs over Santino and Fandango says his name. This was lame.
Backstage we see Booker T & Teddy Long in the GM office. Booker tells Long that things are different in his administration. Long never consulted with Booker when he made the match Dolph-Swagger match for Raw. Long was just trying to help Booker out. Booker then says that Long needs to…Then in comes Big Show. Booker asks Big Show if he can help him. Big Show actually wants to thank Teddy Long for actually giving him a tag team partner for his match with Orton & Sheamus. Unlike some people (Booker T) that put him in a handicapped match where he could be injured Long had the foresight to actually protect 1 of his top super stars & he wants to say thank you to Long. They fist pump each other and Long says you’re welcome. Then Big Show walks out. Long has a grin on his face while Booker has a scowl on his. Booker takes his glasses off and glares at Long and then Long tells Big Show to hold up & Long walks out. Booker looks like he’s gonna blow a gasket. This was a short segment & better than the usual segments we get with Booker & Long.
Time for a look back at Mark Henry flattening Sheamus from last week on Smackdown & Monday on Raw.
Mark Henry is walking backstage and then Renee Young comes by. She says that recently on 2 separate occasions Henry’s attacked Sheamus. She asks him why. Henry says because he can & that’s just what he does. Then Sheamus storms in & spears Henry to the floor. Then he tells Henry that’s what he does Fella. This was a good backstage bit. It looks like they’re gonna have these 2 face each other at Extreme Rules. I’m hoping that’s what they do anyway.
Time for a look back at the Del Rio-Swagger-Dolph bit from Raw that was followed by Swagger pinning Dolph in a non title match.
Alberto Del Rio Del Rio
Time for a look back at Cena-Ryback bit from Monday.
Time for a promo from The Shield. Ambrose snaps his fingers and says attention. He says that on Monday night they made a Raw moment that no one will forget anytime soon, especially Cena. Then Rollins says you can’t see me and does the hand gesture. Reigns doesn’t think that works anymore because they see him just fine on his back & under their boots. Then Rollins says that Ryback also saw Cena flat on his back. Ryback watches as they dropped Cena from the sky. A lot of people are probably wondering why Ryback didn’t do anything. Ryback figured it out & knows how justice feels. Ambrose says that it self preservation. Ryback doesn’t want anymore trouble from The Shield. He doesn’t wanna feel their justice anymore. Then Ambrose says that the look on Ryback’s face on Monday was the same look that they saw on The Undertaker’s face. Ambrose says no one can fool them. 2 weeks ago when Taker was surrounded by The Shield Ambrose was standing 3 feet from Taker & he looked right into his eyes & he knows what he saw. They all saw the look of fear on Taker’s face. Taker was afraid. He was terrified. Taker was surrounded by The Shield & was scared to death. Taker was never so relieved & happy to see Kane and his little buddy. Taker might be a legend to some. He might be undefeated at WrestleMania but The Shield is undefeated period. Taker’s not immortal & this Monday on Raw they prove that. Then Rollins says that for 20 years Taker has run this place but there comes a time for even legends to be pushed aside. Taker’s time is up. Then Reigns says that the hounds of justice run this yard now. Believe in The Shield. Then Ambrose says believe that dead man. This was the usual good promo we get from The Shield.
They show a clip from earlier in the day. Hornswoggle, Khali & Natalya were in the parking garage and then Primo, Epico & Rosa took their spot. Then Natalya tells Rosa they stole their spot. Rosa doesn’t think so “Chica” There’s no sign there that says “Freaks Only.” Then Natalya says that she would rather be called a freak and a winner than a loser and whatever they call themselves. Then Khali does loser symbol. This was stupid.
Great Khali, Hornswoggle & Natalya vs. Primo, Epico & Rosa Mendes. Khali, Hornswoggle & Natalya win when Khali pins Epico. This was a meaningless comedy match.
Time for a look back at the CM Punk promo from Monday.
Then they reshow Brock Lesnar laying out 3MB and him Paul Heyman challenging Triple to face Brock in a steel cage at Extreme Rules.
Randy Orton & Sheamus vs. Big Show & Mark Henry. Big Show & Mark Henry win when Big Show pins Orton. This was a good match. Then Mark Henry & Big Show celebrate on the stage to end the show.
I thought this was a solid show on the whole. I wasn’t a fan of the Fandango bit with Lillian at the start and the Santino-Fandango match was weak but I liked most of this episode. Kofi-Barrett , Del Rio -Swagger & the main event tag were all good matches. I was even ok with the Booker T-Teddy Long-Big Show segment. Sheamus spearing Mark Henry was good too. The 6 person tag was a meaningless comedy match, but overall I thought this was a decent show.
