I was unpleasantly surprised to see how incredibly lightly Smackdown- the last WWE show before Wrestlemania was booked. Most of the show was devoted to footage of Wrestlemania Axxess, the fan convention being held on the eve of the HOF ceremony.
There were three matches that ranged from mediocre (Maryse/Michelle McCool vs. Gail Kim/Maria) to average (Shelton Benjamin vs. MVP for the US Title) to bad (Jeff Hardy vs. Ezekiel Jackson), and a fantastic promo by Edge. He truly plays the part of a scheming, demented opportunist obsessed with the title to perfection
I'm disappointed that we didn't get to see a final chapter in the buildup to all the feuds, as it seemed WWE was just killing time on this show. In fact the entire promotion this year has been nothing compared to the marketing blitz that they unleashed last year. But hey, it's Wresltemania weekend, and I'm still as excited as hell.
So 'll just wrap things up with my Best of the Night:
Best Performers: (1) Shelton Benjamin (2) MVP (3) Edge
Best Match: Shelton Benjamin vs. MVP (United States Championship)
Best Promo: Edge
