WWE Smackdown Hitlist: Edge's promo, Fan Axxess, MVP vs. Shelton Benjamin, Gail Kim, Jeff Hardy vs. Ezekiel Jackson, final push for WrestleMania
Apr 4, 2009 - 02:40 PM


WWE Smackdown Hits

Edge's promo: The best buildup to the World Heavyweight Championship match took place with this promo, finally placing some focus on the title. Edge was money here, but was it too little, too late?

WWE Fan Axxess Footage: I went to WrestleMania X-Seven in Houston and the Axxess was a mess. This one seemed to be a lot more organized and I enjoyed the cutaways to Todd Grisham and Jerry Lawler from the event. It looked as though there was a lot of fun stuff for the fans to do and I am sure those people that attended enjoyed the event very much.

Shelton Benjamin vs MVP: Although they were only given seven or so minutes, I enjoyed the match very match. Unfortunately, despite the very good backstage interaction between the two pushing this match and the MITB ladder match, the match itself did not do much to push WrestleMania. Nonetheless, both men had a good night in the ring.

Gail Kim: Her return to the company was nothing to get excited about, but Gail made a statement last night. She looked great in the ring, and with her clean pin of Maryse, she all of a sudden has breathed some much needed life into the Diva's division.

WWE Smackdown Misses

Jeff Hardy vs. Ezekiel: This was the last show before WrestleMania 25 and this was the last match on the show? Matt Hardy didn't even appear after the match. It was just a regular match with Hardy winning and celebrating. That was hardly a solid final sell for Mania.

Overall show: With the brand extension and with Raw being the number one show, Smackdown often gets overlooked, however, going into a pay-per-view, it is odd that WWE would not put more importance on the last show before WrestleMania. Most people probably already know whether or not they are ordering the show, but for those people on the fence, this show did not convince any of them to purchase WrestleMania.
