Superstar Sleeze Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan vs Dolph Ziggler - Smackdown 12/23/11 Good idea for Daniel Bryan's first match since winning the World Championship at TLC. Give him an opponent where they can show off some workrate. Pretty straightforward workrate style match. Bryan gets in his shine, a dropkick out of some chaining, upside down surfboard and a couple European uppercuts that look good. Ziggler is able to show off on a missed Bryan dropkick and by sending Bryan into the buckles, doing some situps and his inverted bodyslam. Ziggler takes a good bump to the outside and then Bryan hits a dive. At some point, Swagger interferes and Big Show comes out. Byran gets a top rope Frankensteiner, but Ziggler rolls through for two. Then Bryan hits a super back suplex gets two. Things break down and Teddy Long makes a Holla Holla Tag Team match. Just two wrestlers running through their movesets, but Bryan has good energy. *** Daniel Bryan & Big Show vs Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger - Smackdown 12/23/11 Great tag match from these four! A little context, Ziggler & Swagger were both being managed by Vickie Guerrero at this point so it is not totally random. Big Show came in waistlock takedown on Swagger, side headlock takedown. Look at the big man go! Ziggler comes in and he just SWATS him twice. Show asks if Daniel Bryan is ready. He is ready. Comes out red hot, but is a little overzealous missing a dropkick into the buckles. Swagger comes in immediately hits a great Swaggerbomb for two. Loved Swagger throwing Ziggler onto the top turnbuckle hard. They work the leg. Bryan is selling well. Love how Bryan is clawing towards Big Show for the tag in the single leg crab and Ziggler quashes that with an elbow. Ziggler goes into the buckles hard. HERE COMES THE BIG SHOW! FULL STEAM AHEAD! Great big shouldertackle from Show. Swagger clips the knee. Bryan tags in. Swagger goes for the anklelock, but Bryan counters into the LeBell Lock! Show had a ton of energy, great hot tag. FIP was well worked and good finish to put over the new champ. Thumbs up! ***1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
