WWE SmackDown! Reviews

This is the first program I wanted to watch with my brand new TV: as often with me, I evolved from Stone Age to XX century at once: for example, my computer went from Windows 95 to XP. There, I leave a 15 inches TV to a full 47, so my screen gets nearly 8 times bigger!

I choose this wrestling show to welcome it for several reasons: I remember that my grandfather watched the french broadcast a very long time ago, that my father watched it on Canal + on Saturday nights (Hulk Hogan, Andre the giant,..) and now it's a hobby that I share with the kid. In fact, that's him who falls first with cards and I followed him. One year ago, I couldn't name any wrestlers whereas now, I can recognize Bastita, Undertaker, Mark Henry,CM Punk… It's a good show for kids because they are introduced with the violence of the world on a light dose and with morality: there are rules for the fights and you can tell why there are bad guys and good guys! Those wrestlers are role models for kids and I applause when I see they participate in reading challenge (actually, our sports models in France go to hookers!).

In addition, it is scripted like a show, with cliffhangers, suspense, comedy and artistic wardrobes and names! On a different level, I admit that I envy those wrestlers because they are strong, in perfect health while my body is weak and tired. I have always fantasied about having my soul in a bigger, taller body just to see if people would behave differently. That would be a great experience to define what are we? To go back to the ring, if the fights are great (and sometimes funny), it's a pity that it isn't more sports oriented. I don't understand how the games are chosen, how many belt are there and we can't figure how many fights, win, loses have made the wrestlers.

SmackDown is the best show WWE produces at this moment it has the best talent on the show now since the draft it's been awesome with superstars like Edge, Jeff Hardy, Triple H, Ken Kennedy, Shelton Benjamin they all make it such a great show. The only down point to SmackDown is the Great Khali he needs to be off WWE he is a boring wrestler and he is to slow. Edge is really providing loads of entertainment for SmackDown playing the bad guy (heel) which he plays it so well which you do expect to see what will happen the next week. Jeff Hardy and the MVP storyline has been a bit cruel but it's been good to watch and the whole storyline was good the only bad thing was bringing up Jeff Hardy's house on fire and losing his dog that was uncalled for. Shelton Benjamin finally glad to see him off ECW as this guy has loads of talent he can do high flying moves and offer tons of excitement during a match. Ken Kennedy that guy is just entertaining all the time. I got to say Vickie Guerrero as GM for SmackDown is pretty dam good.

Edge has just really made the show worth watching and has really improved SmackDown.
