On Sunday, we will have two Elimination Chamber matches for the World Championships. The WWE Championship match looks pretty strong with CM Punk defeating his title against Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, Chris Jericho, The Miz and R-Truth. This look like this should be a good match as you have 5 people (sorry,R-Truth) who are capable of winning the match.
On Smackdown, however, you don’t really have that. It looked
well enough to begin with Daniel Bryan defending his World Heavyweight
Championship against The Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Wade Barrett, Randy Orton and
Mark Henry. Or, so we thought. Henry has been suffering from injuries since
December, so was suspended (in storyline) and was replaced by the Great Khali. Khali,
whilst popular, is a limited wrestler and he doesn’t seem to very mobile. Then,
on the last Smackdown before the PPV, Teddy Long revealed that Randy Orton
suffered a concussion and was unable to compete. Therefore, Long decided to
have a wild card battle royal in order to determine who would be the sixth
entrant. Santino Marella won after eliminating David Otunga.
I’m sorry, but What. The. Fuck?! Santino in the Elimination
Chamber?! For the World Heavyweight Championship?! Really?! Really?! Really?! I
don’t know what to say about this. I really don’t. I know that the roster is a
bit thin with all the injuries on Smackdown. We have Mark Henry, Christian and
Randy Orton all out of action. Plus, the fact that the one person you could
replace Santino, Sheamus, already won the Royal Rumble so doesn’t need to be
there.
As for Santino, I know he is popular with the fans and he
was cheered when he won. However, you can’t hide the fact that he doesn’t
deserve to be anywhere near the main event level. The problem is that the WWE
has a limited roster, especially on Smackdown, and with people with Santino and
The Great Khali being involved in a World title match, and the farting gimmick with
Natalya; it might be understandable if some people are viewing Smackdown as
more of a Joke-Down.
