Solomonster reviews a mostly boring edition of WWE Smackdown leading into Saturday Night's Main Event with LOTS AND LOTS of mentions of actor Matthew McConaughey in the front row, and LOTS AND LOTS of ladies declaring for the Royal Rumble.  The transfer window has also brought multiple Raw stars over to Smackdown.  By June, this show will be back to two hours, but that alone will not solve the problems that it faces.  Let's talk about it.

0:39.9

And that's what they did tonight for the majority of the show.

0:42.2

They were stretching for time.

0:44.2

They were filling time.

0:45.6

It was a filler episode of SmackDown, for the most part.
