Isenberg Reacts: WWE Smackdown “Has Dolph Ziggler Gained Momentum Back?”

December 18, 2015

Alberto Del Rio defeated Ryback

smackdown In a pretty solid match, Alberto Del Rio and Ryback go back and forth with moves. Del Rio controlled the match early by slowing the pace and keeping Ryback caged. He applied a headlock to try and ground Ryback. Ryback hits a press slam and tries to set up with a clothesline. Del Rio ends up reversing him into a German Suplex and a two count. Del Rio is ready to finish off Ryback, but he ends up getting hit with a spinebuster and a Meathook clothesline.

The League of Nations comes out and distracts Ryback, which lets Del Rio take advantage and pick up the win. After the match, Ryback gets beaten down by a Sheamus Brogue Kick and another kick from Del Rio. The heels stand tall over a beaten face.

This was a good contest for Ryback. Del Rio is viewed as a legit badass and many people know how good he is in the ring with a plethora of talent. Big or small, Alberto Del Rio can work an average match into an above average to great match. Ryback is a fan favorite because of his chants and his superhero look. Beating him down and making him look vulnerable is a good quality to have. He needs to be more versatile right now to really try and connect on another level.

What Is Tyler Breeze?

Tyler Breeze faced off and lost against Titus O’Neil in a mediocre match on Smackdown. It was your usual contest where Breeze got a little bit of offense in, including some nice kicks and a neckbreaker. At the end of the match, Titus would fire on all cylinders and hit Clash of the Titus for the victory.

Does Tyler Breeze work for anyone aside me? I like the guy and think he is a more polished gimmick than Dolph Ziggler. Like, what is Dolph? Is he a member for Motley Crew? Does he want to be the “show-off” still? I love Dolph, but when it comes to owning a gimmick, I give the advantage to Breeze. I give the overall production, popularity and ring ability to Ziggler.Nobody sees that and he has become less important each week. Now, he is losing in completely random matches against Neville and Titus O’Neil? Why would people care about him if this is how he is booked in the main roster? What was the point of him being called up? Did Fandango or Adam Rose get hurt?
