Slapnut Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Not quite sure if Christian turned heel at the end, but it definitely seemed like it. According to a report the live crowd cheered it, but there were a lot of boo's that must have been piped in on the actual broadcast. I hope not, well I say that but if Christian is heel what concerns me is that there isn't another babyface in the main event scene unless Alex Riley is going to fill that void or something! Â Yeah, plus he's arguably the most over face on Smackdown right now, and as good a heel as he is, he's just so popular right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Only caught the main event which was a really strong match with a great finish. Orton/Christian is easily feud of the year so far, and unlike so many recent programs I want it to keep going. Those two have fantastic chemistry together and this is the most interesting Orton has been in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Seven Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Sheamus going "OI DIDN'T MEAN IT FELLA!" was quality. He's a great heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Riley's on Raw, not Smackdown. You say that but i distinctly recall him being drafted to Smackdown, I know he's on RAW but i'm pretty sure he was drafted.

Mr. Seven Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 He got re-signed by the Raw GM after Miz fired him. His contract with Miz superceded the draft. Probably good to forget about that as his only SD appearance was eating an RKO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPW Kristian Zane Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Ah i didnt know that but well it just goes back to my original point though, there is only technically 1 babyface main eventer on Smackdown. God knows how they are going to plug that hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
textonly Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Personally I really liked the way everything shook out. It might even be my favourite heel turn in a long time, such was the level of believability to it. You've got this nice guy who fought for a lifetime to achieve his goal, lost it before he could take a breath, tried and tried again to get it back, and then finally snapped out of genuine personal, professional and competitive frustration. It's believable and sympathetic while still being obviously heelish and wrong. And Christian's now in a position where he can go full-fledged heel or he can play that role for a while before coming to his senses and turning face again. I think it's been a brilliantly booked programme thus far and I'm really intrigued to see where they go with it next. Â Also, I absolutely adore Cody Rhodes at the minute. I know some people are probably getting tired of the repetitive nature of the "for your benefit, and at great expense to myself" promo, but I think he's probably only second to CM Punk at the moment when it comes to staying in character 100% of the time and adding entertaining little flourishes to his work. I'm looking forward to the idea of a PPV match with Daniel Bryan and the end of this week's segment - Sin Cara coming to help Daniel Bryan evade a DiBiase/Rhodes beatdown - is possibly the first time in god-knows-how-long that I've been excited at the prospect of an inevitable slung together tag match. I just hope this doesn't mean Sin Cara might be muscling in on Daniel Bryan's match. Â And, yes, Sheamus is fantastic. Always great when he gets to play gutless and sneaky rather than just aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Murtz Posted June 4, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 4, 2011 I thought the most heelish thing Christian did was cost Sheamus the match! Usually its a heel getting cocky with the ref only for the ref to have the last laugh, but Sheamus hit him by mistake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt Stevens Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Danielson/DiBiase was really good. Everything else shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
