So due to both the lateness of this recap and just for my own amusement, let's do something a little different with this week's SD recap. Since the E is SO insistant on shoving their love for Twitter down our throats, I'll play their little game. So let's turn this SmackDown recap into the #SmackDownRecap! Each segment will basically be recapped with a series of 140 character-or-less statements! Let's roll!
@WWESinCara makes his entrance for our next match.
#AdBreak
@WWESinCara v. @HeelZiggler (w/@ExcuseMeWWE) We find out that Dolph is working twice again at the PPV, defending against @TheRealMorrison. HUH? #AdjustYourPPVPredictionsAccordingly
Matthews says Zack Ryder's petition is "the most signed petition in Twitter history." WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN???
Victory roll reversal sequence sees Dolph grab the tights and steal the pinfall. #CheatToWin
#WINNER: Dolph Ziggler
Post-match, Dolph talks trash, so SC kicks his ass. @RealJackSwagger makes the save. @WWE_MasonRyan cleans house on the Vickie Family.
#AdBreak
@RealJackSwagger (w/@ExcuseMeWWE) v. @WWE_MasonRyan #ZOMGImpromptuMatch
This match is not completely terrible, which is an accomplishment for Ryan. #WellnessPolicy
Swaggerbomb is countered with the Full Nelson slam to win this one for Ryan.
#WINNER: Mason Ryan
Backstage, @Justin__Gabriel chats with @AliciaFoxy. She's never met a #SouthAfrican before and thinks he's dreamy. Yup.
@ZackRyder comes in and asks for a petition sig. @WWETheBigShow offers a sig and is told about what happened to Daniel Bryan.
@Christian4Peeps comes out in crutches & neck brace for a promo. He talks about his injuries and makes sure to get his one joke in.
Big Show checks on Daniel Bryan. He vows to find Mark Henry and exits...leaving Bryan alone with the lovely @WWEAJLee. #Winning
#AdBreak
@TedDiBiase v. @DerrickWWE (w/@MaxineWWE) Derrick Bateman gets no entrance and you know what that means! #CannonFodder
#WINNER: Ted DiBiase
#AdBreak
Big Show kicks down doors looking for Mark Henry! He hits @JinderMahal with the Mayweather Sucker Punch, for fun. @KiddWWE wisely exits.
Big Show comes to the ring for a promo. He hypes Sunday's match with Mark Henry.
@TrueKofi makes his entrance for our next match. He faces Hunico next!
#AdBreak
@TrueKofi v. Hunico Hunico delivers an opening promo en Español saying we'll see what he's capable of.
Hunico argues with the ref after a near-fall, allowing Kofi to finish him with the SOS.
#WINNER: Kofi Kingston
Here's a video package for @EzekielWWE. Remember when Zeke mattered before the E buried him?
#AdBreak
@TheBethPhoenix & @NatbyNature v. @WWEAJLee & @KaitlynWWE The Beth/Eve match at Survivor Series has been made into a LumberJill Match. #SmellTheBuyrate
Is it me or has Kaitlyn gained some weight? #JustAsking
Natty finishes with the Sharpshooter and bends AJ all the way, so they've found a good replacement for Melina, at least.
#WINNERS: Beth Phoenix & Natalya
#AdBreak
Here's Raw's ending promo in its entirety. #NOPE #FFWD
@RandyOrton makes his entrance for our main event. It's next!
#AdBreak
@RandyOrton & @trueSheamus v. @WadeBarrett & Cody Rhodes The slo-mo replay of last week's Orton/Barrett is unintentionally hilarious. NO! NOT THE THUMB TO THE EYE!
Cody's on his third character of 2011. If he can get THIS character over, like he did the last two, he deserves a main event slot.
Christian comes down during the break to completely give away the ending to the match.
Sure enough, Christian wipes out Sheamus with the crutch for the DQ. #Lame
#WINNERS: Randy Orton & Sheamus
Post-match, the beatdown is on, until Sheamus cleans house with Christian's crutch. High Cross for Cody! Hit Sheamus' music!
Show ends with Orton and Sheamus standing tall.
#FinalThought This experiment wasn't as fun as I thought. The lesson is that Twitter ruins EVERYTHING! Are you listening, The E? #MoraloftheStory

I totally forgot about that! Also surprised they didnt drop the belts before Evan started his suspension. So are they just gonna ignore the tag titles until Bourne comes back, then just have them start tagging again with the belts like nothing happened? Weird.
@WWEJoshMatthews made a great reference to @RealBillyGunn, after @HeelZiggler used the good ole Fame-ass-er on Sin Cara post-match: "That'll make him famous!" Matt Striker (surprisingly no Twitter acct?) would be proud.
There was an ad during SD! for Shopzone bundles for Christmas so I checked out what sort of new merch they have now. There is an INSANE amount of INSANE CM Punk merch (and new merch for other guys too).
Nash Unhappy with Results IWS Xth Anniversary Montreal 05/30 It seems like Kevin Nash is the only man unhappy after the crowded party at the Medley last night for the International Wrestling Syndicate's Tenth Anniversary.
