WRESTLING RECAP: Breaking down WWE SmackDown from 04/28/16



Last updated: April 25, 2016

(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - This Payback Pay Per View (PPV) is Sunday so you know I am expecting a snoozer of a SmackDown.  To my surprise, they did just enough to surprise you and also let talent wrestle enough to entertain, but not injure themselves.

NOTE: All my images are directly from WWE.com


Some things I still need to happen in the WWE Universe:

  1. Bring back the Cruiser Weight Division
  2. Make all the matches mean something to some sort of belt or rivalry.  
  3. Show more of the roster.  You guys recycle the same talent too much.
  4. You may wish to consider bringing the Diva's division full circle and have them with Tag Title belts, lightweight belts, etc. 
  5. The Tag Team Division is starting to look better than the singles division.  Get more people graduated from NXT and get that division showcased more. 

Here are the highlights of the show:

(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - Wrestlemania Pay Per View (PPV) is a the biggest PPV that the WWE has every year.  Because of that, you can not expect them to have their talent go full throttle for this showing.  This was essentially a filler SmackDown until Wrestlemania happen in a few days.  They used this to push the matches a tad bit further, and did a highlight and recap show.

This SmackDown was above average and concentrated on matches more than talking!  Look how many matches they packed into this 2 hour show compared to the 3 hour RAW this Monday.  RAW needs to get it going next week to really hammer home some Wrestlemania story lines like SmackDown did this week.

This SmackDown was average and didn't do much to add to Wrestlemania.  I am not certain if they are trying to make RAW just that more spectacular so the Shane VS Undertaker story line will have more pop, or if they just are dropping the ball this much.

This is especially true after such a great return of Shane McMahon on RAW.

NEW SHOW: Playtime Williams debuts "SMACK TALK: Sports Talk Video Blog" a fan-based recap show with guest host Mr. Fair


(www.playtimecares.com) -

What a blast.


This is the first time that you get to meet one of my best friends and hear us do what we do…talk smack. 

We talk about all sports really, but we were in a wrestling mood with the lackluster showings that we experienced lately with the WWE.

Mr. Fair is a wrestling encyclopedia in many regards, so it is always fun to deal with him when it is time to talk smack about wrestling.

Take a look and listen to what we surmised.  Comment on everything!  We love dialogue.

We will let you know the next time we have something going on, and maybe you can chime in live with us!

#WWEOooWee <-- Watch to find out what that means!
