Posted by: Elio Cannella reporting for WrestlingNewsSource.com on Oct 12 2012

Welcome to WWE Friday Night Smackdown and this week we come to you from the HP Pavilion  in San Jose California and we kick things off with Smackdown GM Booker T coming out. Booker says in 2 weeks the World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line. For the very first time, Big Show will face Sheamus. Now there’s a buzz going around the WWE which is maneuver is more devastating? The Brogue Kick or the KO punch? Now personally, he wouldn’t want to get kicked with either one but knows both Sheamus and Big Show and both of these men feel like their move is more powerful. Well, we’re going to find out right now.
 
Brogue Kick vs KO Punch
 
The rules are simple, both are going to have one shot at the punching bag and the winner will be determined by who has the higher score. Big Show begins to protest and the crowd begins to boo and Show tells the crowd not to boo him. He’s knocked out Randy Orton, he’s knocked out John Cena, he’s knocked out every superstar in WWE. Booker calms Show down and Sheamus says he’ll take a crack at it first. Sheamus takes his turn and scores 1,322 pounds/ sq. inch. Show is up next and takes his shot. Show says he’s not going to do this thinking it’s a set up. Sheamus says it’s all about the spirit of competition they’re just here to find out which move is the best. Show takes his shot and tunrs his back ready to walk away as the meter calculates his score and Show scores 1,809 pounds /sq. inch. Booker declares Show the winner and Show and Sheamus have a staredown before Show walks off. Sheamus says he knows he’s been out here joking around and that’s impressive. But let’s face it, he was hitting a machine that was standing still. Tensai attacks him from behind and that leads us into our first match
