TJR: Talking Smack for 01/15/10 (Batista/Mysterio in a Cage)

The John Report: Talking Smack for 01/15/10 (Batista/Mysterio Cage)
Welcome to the Talking Smack column where I offer up a quick rundown of WWE’s Friday broadcast, Smackdown. For the second straight week, I was spoiler free heading into SD again. It’s a better way to enjoy the show. Also, I asked for some reader comments similar to the Commentfest we do for Raw, so those will be seen after my review of Smackdown. Let’s get right to it and then I have some things to plug at the end of the column.

Taped from Green Bay, Wisconsin let’s talk some smack…

After the usual video packages, we start out with Chris Jericho. 10 out of 10 already. Or not. He’s got a huge bruise on the left side of his face to sell what Tyson did to him. When Big Show, a WWE employee, punches somebody like that nobody has a bruise. When Mike Tyson, a guest host, punches somebody they put it over huge. What I’m saying is maybe you might want to put over your own employees as much as you do the guest hosts. Anyway, Chris cuts his usual awesome promo ripping on the fans, calling himself the baddest man on the planet and talked about winning the World Championship again.
