4 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (12 Sept - Results & Review)

2. More Wyatt Family Babble

How many of these cryptic promos can one audience withstand?!

Bo Dallas (sans Uncle Howdy outfit) and Erick Rowan appeared in a pre-tape to speak about cracks beginning to show between Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins. Telling you right now, this better go somewhere, because The Wyatt Sicks talking in riddles without much payoff is seriously tiresome. Sure, they have the tag gold on SmackDown, but the faction is totally flat and boring regardless.

This was like the millions of other mysterious vignettes you’ve seen involving these guys before. They rarely say anything of value, and it's all drenched in a poetic coat of paint that has announcers saying stock phrases like: 'Oh, well what did Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy mean by that?'. Who cares? He'll just spit some of the same nonsense next week or the week after that anyway.

Sorry to be so down on The Sicks, but they derailed a wonderful SmackDown tag-team division and it hasn't properly recovered. Other acts like Fraxiom, the seemingly abandoned Andrade and Rey Fenix combo, and even The Miz and Carmelo Hayes are all way more interesting than the champs. Worse, Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis weren't even here - this was all Bo and Rowan.

Also, The Sicks beat The Street Profits to retain their gold at Clash In Paris, so shouldn't they be moving onto other things? Splitting Ford and Dawkins would be brave at this stage in the game too, and that's unlikely to happen anyway. In other words, this all feels so...pointless and unimportant.
