LIVE Smackdown thoughts - November 29, 2011

10:36 - Sorry friends, I had some Internet issues. But I really enjoyed the Henry/Bryan match. Granted, I haven't seen any PPV's since Henry became champion, but I might go as far as to say it was Henry's best match to date. And Bryan looked fine in losing as well. Nicely done and great psychology.

9:46 - Relatively minor quibble, but I don't like Mark Henry coming to the ring with a t-shirt. Henry has an interesting build.....he's built like a house and strong as a horse, but he doesn't LOOK strong in the Batista or John Cena sense. So when he comes wearing a huge shirt, he just sorta looks fat.

9:39 - So since joining WWE AJ has had flings with Primo, Hornswoggle, and Daniel Bryan. And I'm jealous of all three of them. Oh, and Daniel Bryan's ring jacket is all sorts of awesome.

9:29 - I'm not saying that Sheamus should have squashed Hornswoggle -- since the audience is sympathetic towards the little guy -- but I'm also not sure how I feel about turning Sheamus into such a softy either.

9:26 - Michael Cole, of Hornswoggle: "If they're not careful, he could eliminate all four people." Excellently delivered.

9:02 - Wow.....John Morrison sure is going to look like a real wuss if David Otunga appears on Raw this Monday...

9:00 - Alright, who said what? That was an awfully long silent censor.

8:50 - Is there anything more dreadfully boring than those WWE backstage parties?

8:43 - Ever since Kofi abandoned the Jamaican colors and started modeling his attire after pop culture items, his coolness factor has risen significantly in my eyes (and I already liked him!) There's his Slimer and Stay Puffed from Ghostbusters. There's the Robin and Green Lantern trunks. There's the Stormtroopers pair, the U.N. one. Am I missing any other great designs?

8:28 - Out of all of the secondary Nexus/Corre guys (excluding Bryan), I honestly thought Justin Gabriel had the brightest future. He's got a great look, a unique but easy to understand accent, and he's got a style that the audience responds to. And with Mysterio and Sin Cara injured, and Morrison on his way out, why not take advantage of this talent?

8:24 - Here's a prediction I know WILL come true: That "Did You Know" is going to send fans into an uproar.

8:20 - Guess I was wrong. By the way, is it me or does Mick look a lot worse than usual? I don't know if it's his haircut, which doesn't really flatter the shape of his face, or if he's just put on a lot of weight, but his face looks really round.

8:17 - Prediction: There will be a spot where AJ has a chance to win, but can't reach the mistletoe.

8:09 - I like the Make a Wish battle royal idea. This reminds me of Team Bischoff vs. Team Austin, where Bischoff rewarded his winning team by saying he'd grant each member one wish. It lasted multiple weeks and was a clever device. Wouldn't mind seeing something like that again (on a grander scale than tonight).

8:03 - Referring to Daniel Bryan as "Tiny Tim"? Not doing him any favors....

8:01 - What the Hell, why not?
