Dot Net Members’ Exclusive – Powell’s Bonus Blog: WWE Smackdown thoughts on the new stipulation for Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre, Ilja Dragunov’s latest open challenge, wrestling mascots

By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

-They just can’t stop themselves. If a WWE broadcast team member calls a big move and says the match is over, you know damn well it’s not. The Miz attacked Carmelo Hayes while the referee was distracted, and then Kit Wilson hit Hayes with a top rope elbow drop. Michael Cole saying the match was over completely ruined what could have been a believable near fall for Wilson.

-It’s one thing to have college mascots “wrestle” in front of a live crowd, but showing the so-called highlights during the show was ridiculous. Kayfabe died a long time ago, but that doesn’t mean WWE needed to dig up its corpse and go all Ed Gein on it.
