6 Ups & 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (25 Oct)
5. Swiss Superplan
Cesaro must have raced from catering quicker than a flustered Eric Bischoff when he heard his music blaring throughout the arena at the climax of an opening segment designed to clunkily set up the evening's main event. After all, why would he have been anywhere else?
The 'Swiss Superman', if any of this was real, would have arrived at work and noticed that his name wasn't on the board for the night. With a bit of time to kill (but that incredible physique to preserve) he probably went to get himself a decent black coffee and a high-protien salad before saddling up and moving on to the next town to get a few reps at a local gym before bed.
But then!
Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair talked the SmackDown quotients of their teams into such a frenzy that they simply had to fight in an impromptu six-man tag. IRL, WWE clearly hate Sami Zayn so much that he needed impromptu replacing in this impromptu match. Thank goodness Cesaro had a sprint on him...unless Zayn had pre-warned him that maybe the talk-in at the start could turn violent, and maybe he wasn't in the mood to work, and maybe he keeps him on standby in every arena?
Maybe. But surely not, because then every single person involved with this would appear lobotomised and lost.
