Smackdown 5/23/14

1. I always mark out when Hogan's music hits, even when he's just coming out to sell something.
2. Time for Ziggler's beat down. I really think Ziggler needs to team up with Sandow and...Drew McIntyre, who needs to leave 3MB like three years ago. Face or heel, I don't care. That would be a badass stable, and maybe they could get the respect together that they can't seem to get on their own.
3. A no-DQ match between Batista and Ziggler? How long before the minions of the Authority interfere?
4. No interference. Color me surprised. Just a very good match. Ziggler steals the show every night, even in defeat.
5. Not ready for a Bo debut. *sigh* Can we get his brother Bray to destroy him?
6. Diva tag match between the Funkadactyls and Eva Marie with Nikki Bella with Summer Rae as the guest ref? Sounds like a Total Divas botchfest.
7. Quick count pinfall. At least it was short.
8. I am not a Bo-liever. Poor Hunico--er, Sin Cara, that is--to have to put Bo over.
9. Stratusfaction, Bo? Really? That's your finisher? *sigh*
10. Keep talking Bray. That stuff is gold.
11. Sheamus v. AdR with Cesaro and Heyman at ringside. Should be a solid match, if predictable, as I fully expect Cesaro to interfere.
12. There it is. I was really hoping Cesaro would be a babyface. Oh well.
13. And Vicki brings out Adam Rose for his Smacdow debut? *sigh* My kingdom for Leo Kruger.
14. It *was* funny to see Vicki carried around by the freakshow.
15. Both Usos have gotten much better on the mic. Good to hear.
16. Cena? What...was that? I guess you made your point, but...geez.
17. The Usos v. The Wyatts Jr. Both teams have come a long way since their debuts, but it's amazing how quickly Harper and Rowan have progressed.
18. Excellent match until Bray brought on the DQ for his team. Hate to see it end that way. I'd rather, as JR suggests, see time limits brought back. Oh well.

Three decent matches, only one of which ended with a pinfall/submission victor. Not a great show, but much better than RAW was.
