A Dolph Ziggler hype video plays. I’m a fan of his. Last year I predicted a banner year for him and 2010 was good to him. Hopefully 2011 will continue the roll he’s on.

The Raw Rebound airs. So they have the Raw Rebound and even a recap of NXT but they can’t squeeze Smackdown into there? Blasphemy!

Mike’s Thoughts

I’ve said this since the beginning of the show and I’ll say it again. I simply hate it when they cram more than three matches into an hour-long show. All of these guys (with the exception of the main eventers) are stuck in mid-card hell so having a quick 3-5 minute match is not going to help any of them out. We had three matches done in thirty minutes, then we had to sit through the videos, and the main event. This should be a showcase show for those guys that aren’t making an impact on the main roster. Let them make an impact here and try to impress the few who actually still tune in to watch the show.

Final Rating: * 1/2
