Smackdown can't catch a break. It wasn't even this week that it was particularly bad or underwhelming like it's been over the last few months. There were recaps - goddammit, the recaps were annoying - but the stuff they used to fill in between the RAW spam was on point. The wrestling was good, especially Jack Swagger vs. Alberto del Rio. I liked their WrestleMania match. I liked it a good bit. I thought that their match tonight was better than the one they had 12 days ago. It felt so gutty and raw.
I even dug the angle behind the mixed-trios match. Having a parking spot snaked from you is one of the most annoying everyday foibles that can befall the average person. Even if the match wasn't all that good (it wasn't Nattie's fault, FINALLY she got to wrestle), the fact that it was built on a story that was relatable made it so cathartic.
But none of that's going to matter in the long run, because Boston Police Department caught the main surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon Bombing case. Them's be the breaks. Real life is more important. Thus is life.
