5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Dec 9)

Downs...

3. SILENCE!

Oh dear.

Hit Row stopped a bout between Legado del Fantasma and The Viking Raiders by kicking the sh*t out of everybody, but...their attacks didn't come across very well at all. Top Dolla, Ashante Adonis and B-FAB looked a bit all over the place, and the segment was far from smooth overall.

Worst of all, Pittsburgh's masses just didn't give a damn about the trio at all. It's almost like the fans weren't sure how they were expected to react when Hit Row levelled everybody in sight and then posed with fists in the air. As aforementioned in the intro, these are seriously worrying times for the faction.

They haven't landed one bit since returning to WWE. Promos have played before silence, matches the same and now post-match ambush angles are making audiences yawn. Where does Triple H turn next to prove that it was the right call to bring this trio back? Christ knows, man.
