The Doctor's Weekly WWE SmackDown Recap: Things We Learned, Loved and Hated

I truly appreciate my loyal readers, but for those of you who are new, each week I recap SmackDown with a long list.

The entries are made up of equal parts humor, recap, play-by-play, revelations, speculations, questions, answers and anything else I notice during the show. I sometimes comment on commercials too, just because I get bored during them.

I have two games each week as well. This week, we are doing "Line of the night" and "Worst sign of the night." I will select some of the best from the comments and include them in a poll on Monday's Raw recap for readers to vote on.

Also, make sure to vote in this week's polls from the game's featured on last Monday's recap.

I try to interject some fun into these lists, so I hope you have fun reading this week's list of the 105 things we learned, loved and hated from the show.

1. SmackDown opens with Daniel Bryan coming out to the ring.
2. The crowd is clearly behind Bryan but the edited reaction sounds more like heat.
3. Not since the NWO have three letters made such an impact for a single superstar.
4. Bryan complains about losing his World Championship in 18 seconds at WrestleMania.
5. Bryan calls Sheamus a coward for giving him a cheap shot.
6. You can't argue the logic, but the bell did ring and when the bell rings, the match is on no matter what.
7. YES! Coming to Chicago for Extreme Rules.
8. Bryan says he will shock the world when he defeats Sheamus in a two-out-of-three falls match.
9. I think the last match with that stipulation in WWE was between MVP and Chris Benoit. Can anyone name a more recent two-out-of-three falls match?
10. I guess WWE had a hard time editing out the Yes reaction when Bryan asked if he was going to win the world title.
11. AJ tries to come in the ring, but Bryan tells her to go away.
12. AJ comes in anyways and Bryan seems to think she is setting him up.
13. Bryan says all the problems in the relationship were because of AJ.
14. I am still trying to grasp what WWE thinks this angle will do for AJ. She comes off as a moron who wants the attention of an abusive man instead of being the sympathetic victim.
15. Bryan says he wishes AJ had never been born and she starts to tear up, making Bryan laugh a little.
16. Bryan asks himself if he could ever take AJ back and he gives her an emphatic "NO!"
17. AJ is left in the ring crying as we fade out to commercial.
18. Maybe this will finally be the wake-up call her character gets and she will stop pursuing Bryan. Hopefully she is in Sheamus' corner at Extreme Rules or something.
19. I was a fan of the first Prototype game and this commercial for the sequel with the Johnny Cash song makes me want to buy it that much more.
20. We return from commercial and AJ is still in the ring. Natalya's music hits and she comes out wearing a leopard-print outfit with a weird cape thing.
21. It has been a long time since the last gas attack, I think we are out of the woods with the farting angle.
22. AJ is still looking towards the ramp as the match starts.
23. Natalya looks concerned for her, but AJ slaps the taste out of her mouth.
24. AJ really hauled off on that one.
25. She attacks Nattie in the corner and the ref pulls her off.

26. AJ has officially snapped. This is what I have been waiting for.
27. The ref calls for the bell when AJ refuses to stop attacking Natalya.
28. AJ leaves the ring looking sad again.
29. Booker says "It's called Love, Cole" to describe why she might do something like this.
30. No, Booker, it is called insanity.
31. Nice. Another Damien Sandow video plays.
32. He quotes Benjamin Franklin to make a point about how our society is too concerned with trivial things.
33. The icing on the cake is when he ends every promo with "You're welcome."
34. Brodus Clay is out next. I find myself being less enthusiastic about this gimmick every time they have him wrestle a short match.
35. Clay cuts the music and talks about how his little brother was supposed to be here tonight.
36. Please don't be Hornswoggle. Please don't be Hornswoggle.
37. DAMMIT!
38. He is not even a leprechaun anymore. Can we just start calling him Dylan Postl and be done with it.
39. Hunico got the jobber's entrance. I guess we know what he is being used for tonight.
40. Hornswoggle gets in the ring and tries to do a shimmy like Brodus and Hunico shoves him down.
41. Clay attacks Hunico and gives him a huge back body drop.
42. Clay knocks Camacho off the apron and then he throws Hunico across the ring before giving him the big splash to end the match.
43. Another week, another squash. I want to see Clay feud with someone like Ezekiel Jackson. Someone just as powerful, but also in need of a program
44. I just learned two new things; Hornswoggle has a tongue ring and he can do the splits, kind of.
45. Teddy Long is backstage and he runs into Titus O'Neil and Darren Young.
46. Big Johnny Laurinaitis walks up and says he has signed them to SmackDown.
47. O'Neil and Young play the annoying role really well. That is, if that's what they were going for, otherwise it might just be that they are actually annoying.
48. Josh Matthews is interviewing Randy Orton and he shows him a video package about Kane attacking Orton and his father.
49. Orton says Cowboy Bob will be fine, but Kane won't.
50. This will be a Falls Count Anywhere match. I am going to be pretty close to the ring when I attend Extreme Rules so hopefully they fight right past me and I can get some good pics to post here.

51. Whoa! Usos sighting over here!
52. I am happy to see the tag team division actually having some screen time tonight.
53. Titus O'Neil and Darren Young are out to face the twin sons of Rikishi.
54. Worst sign of the night: "JR is over-rated." If you saw a terrible sign in the crowd tonight please share it with the rest of us in the comments section below for the "Worst Sign of the Night" game.
55. The Usos attire tonight looks very similar to an outfit Carlito used to wear.
56. Usos take control early on with some quick tags and double-teams.
57. I like when Booker yells at the ref to do his job.
58. Jey Uso goes flying over the top rope and looks like he may have landed hard on his arm.
59. Titus O'Neil and Darren Young get the win after a move similar to the old Hart Attack double team.
60. The crowd looks dead, but I have to say that I see some potential in this team.
61. I do not keep up with NXT that much, but they looked better than the last time I saw either of them.
62. This WWE.com commercial reminds me of the WWE Network commercial they used to air.
63. What happened to the April 1 premiere date?
64. The car Alberto drives up in is pretty sweet, but I can't help but notice he is always driving cars that are a couple years old these days. I guess his entrance budget got reduced.
65. Big Show comes out next for their match.
66. Booker is on fire tonight. He just said "Alberto may be rusty, but he better have grease on them bones because he is facing the Big Show."
67. Del Rio is getting in a lot of offense against the Big Show.
68. Every time Show tries to come back, Del Rio slips away and takes out his knee.
69. This is a decent match so far. Del Rio looks good.
70. Del Rio tries for the Cross-Arm Breaker but Big Show powers him up and drops him.
71. The ref starts a count for both men but he only makes it to 7.
72. Cody Rhodes comes in as Show is about to finish Del Rio and hits the Disaster Kick to give Del Rio the win.
73. After the match Rhodes attacks Show, who rolls out of the ring to see his attacker.
74. Show gives chase to Rhodes but before he even gets in the ring Cody is running through the crowd.
75. Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre are shown watching a jobber in the ring.

76. That must mean Ryback is coming out soon.
77. Your mother is going to be disappointed, kid.
78. Ryback is pumped up as he makes his way out.
79. This kid is Colin Delaney-sized and Booker says not to count him out. Hilarious.
80. Ryback destroys this kid, as expected.
81. We get to see Brock Lesnar's interview from Monday where he talks about beating up John Cena.
82. Teddy Long is guarding John Laurinaitis' office and William Regal walks up and makes fun of him.
83. Aksana walks up with Antonio Cesaro. Awesome.
84. Johnny rubs in how Antonio seems to be Aksana's new beau.
85. Daniel Bryan is out next for the six-man main event.
86. Cole is chanting "Yes" as Bryan makes his entrance. Way to jump on the bandwagon, Cole.
87. Dr. Evil, I mean Cody Rhodes is out after the break.
88. Rhodes takes the leg of Khali out from under him as he tries to enter the ring and it looks like he may be out of the match.
89. Rhodes gets congratulated by Bryan and Henry for his actions.
90. Big Show comes out to fill the empty spot on the team.
91. It's kind of funny. In the past year Big Show has feuded with everyone on the opposing team, each with a singles title on the line.
92. After another commercial, we finally get some action as Orton is taking it to Rhodes.
93. Rhodes tags in Bryan, and Orton puts him down with a hip toss.
94. Sheamus tags in and Bryan bails, tagging Rhodes on his way out.
95. Michael Cole reminds us how Sheamus was fined $500,000 for hitting a ref.
96. For a product who used to go black and white whenever someone started to bleed and have medics come out to stop the cut they sure have been milking the bloody mouth Cena got from Lesnar.
97. Wow. Booker actually made Cole say he was wrong about Daniel Bryan, and Booker was right.
98. Orton gets the tag and almost hits the RKO on Rhodes, but Henry hits him with a clothesline.
99. Great line from Cole. "Stupid ref, out of position."
100. They are being hard on the refs tonight.
101. Another commercial break? Is that three just within this match?
102. Sheamus, Big Show and Orton all hit their finishers on Mark Henry to win the match.
103. I quite enjoyed the main event in terms of excitement and decent action. Everyone had a good amount of ring time.
104. Average show overall. Not much other than getting to see Antonio Cesaro stood out as outstanding to me.
105. Make sure to mention your "Line of the night" from tonight's commentary.
