PWP Nation’s Zak Fellows reviews this week’s episode of Thursday Night SmackDown!
As this writer’s viewing of WWE Smackdown occurred in the lead up to the WrestleMania determining Fastlane pay-per-view here are some thoughts that sprung to mind as I watched.
Please note that not all thoughts will be mentioned because there are too many to count and this is a family friendly review.
So with that said let’s get started:
Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler is a feud of the month
Since last year, Dolph Ziggler has been in a perpetual status of non-event. Having been used for the purpose of making his opponents look good with little to no prospect that he himself will go further beyond the zenith of what he has already achieved… I mean more so than he already was and this is a former World Champion mind you.
With his victory over Kevin Owens on this past edition of Raw, which you can read a wrap up for here, and subsequent involvement Kalisto’s victory over his new found rival, it appears as if Ziggler and Owens will face each other at WWE Fastlane and perhaps in whatever multi-man match will be scheduled at WrestleMania 32.
Do not mistake this for out and out criticism as I admire the attempts by WWE to always have something for Owens to do as he remains a solid heel that is over with the audience. The match itself, assuming it does happen at Fastlane this is pro wrestling: The industry of missing the obvious and right after all, I’m sure will be decent but just don’t expect any real meat to be on it.
(Quick Thought: Ziggler may slowly become Jericho. Tyler Breeze beat him and he is doing nothing at the moment as well. The loser is on TV more than the guy who he put over fancy that).
