[Evil Vito]

YEP YEP YEP WHAT IT DO

[DAMN iNATOR]

YEP YEP YEP WHAT IT DO

I was thinking the exact same thing. Where oh where is Skip Sheffield/THE RYBACK when we need him?! :(

[KIRA]

AJs hair looking a little less than immaculate

[KIRA]

Aww I was hoping he would start doing open challenges

[DAMN iNATOR]

"...but we CAN tease Shane as a special referee for this Sunday's tag team match of KO & Sami Zayn v. Randy KO & Shinsuke Nakamura to try to get the idea of Daniel Bryan v. Shane McMahon @ WrestleMania 34!"

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: Styles in favor of a Hug It Out moment.

[KIRA]

Theyre back after their honor beating

[DAMN iNATOR]

Who the fuck is "Uncle Al"? :lol::wtf:

[Emperor Smeat]

Dr Shelby would be very proud of what just happened in the ring.

[KIRA]

Uncle AL LOL

[ClockShot]

Styles should go into private practice.

[KIRA]

Dr Shelby would be very proud of what just happened in the ring.

He has changed minds and touched hearts.

[slik]

These two are god-awful on the mic

[ClockShot]

With Triple H having his way in India, they should be done with Jinder.

[DAMN iNATOR]

"Don't boo us, guys, because this totally isn't a trap! :("

https://i.imgflip.com/vx3uw.jpg

[Savio]

"You fucked up" chant, lol

[KIRA]

whoa outside of television continuity

[Emperor Smeat]

Really ugly dress shirt Jinder is wearing.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at some random guy in the crowd shouting "I Love You Jinder"

[Savio]

Wish Jinder yelled "I love you too!" to the fan ala Batista.

[KIRA]

We are raising a generation not defined by Jinder

[ClockShot]

Didn't Raw open with a Diva's match after the opening promo?

[KIRA]

:lol: at some random guy in the crowd shouting "I Love You Jinder"

I heard that! laughed hard

[Emperor Smeat]

Didn't Raw open with a Diva's match after the opening promo?

Was a tag match like with almost every week on RAW though.

[ClockShot]

"WWF Rocks" sign.

Yeah, I have no problem with the World Wildlife Fund.

[KIRA]

So which one is the lesbian in the Riott Squad

[KIRA]

These two factions really need to sync up their gear

[KIRA]

"Thats why I'm the champ" is like the catchphrase for whoever holds the women's title.

[Savio]

So which one isn't the lesbian in the Riott Squad

fixed

[#1-norm-fan]

Thread title instantly made me nostalgic for early 90's WCW Clash of the Champions.

[DAMN iNATOR]

So which one is the lesbian in the Riott Squad

Probably Ruby herself considering her hairstyle. :shifty:

[KIRA]

7 new women and the division still feels really small

not as small as Cruiserweight divison

[Emperor Smeat]

Starting to really believe both brands get the exact same plans each week but Smackdown tweaks theirs based on what RAW does.

This week had both shows with a 3-on-1 beating occur to the big face star and both evil groups getting attacked by the rest of the division.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Oh yay...the 2 women's factions from each brand are still copying one another. :roll:

[Savio]

Feel like Ziggler will win.... ugh.

[KIRA]

I'm all for suspension of belif but I can't buy Naomi hitting people with the softest part of the human body

Couldn't buy it with Goldust either

[ClockShot]

Who's dumb idea in creative was it to grab the steel steps, angle them on the barricade, and slingshot them into them from underneath?

Table is quick and easy to utilize. So are chairs.

[KIRA]

I wouldve been all for all six showing up on both shows and calling themselves neXXus

[Savio]

I'm all for suspension of belif but I can't buy Naomi hitting people with the softest part of the human body

And she has a nice ass.

[ClockShot]

I'M HERE TO SELL CELL PHONES! I'M HERE TO SELL CELL PHONES! COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

[Savio]

Ziggler has music again.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Welp, I can hear the channel changing on millions of TVs right now

[DAMN iNATOR]

Ziggler has more than 10 seconds of music again.

Fixed.

[ClockShot]

DQs aplenty tonight.

[KIRA]

Sooo heel vs heel...ok

Baron Corbin makes me wish I was sitting in a lecture about watching paint dry

[Savio]

I can see Ziggler being added to the match to take the fall to not hurt Corbins image.

Roode wins

Corbin gets pinned in the Champs mandatory rematch.

[KIRA]

Things are looking bright for The Triple H reboot

[ClockShot]

HAMMER TIME!

[ClockShot]

Side note: Fashion Police gonna die at Clash of Champions.

[GD]

Colin Delaney?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the scream by the jobber

[KIRA]

They need to sell real sledgehammers for Harper and Rowan

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

[ClockShot]

Y'all ded.

[KIRA]

COLIN DELANY

[KIRA]

scream.

[GD]

Corey just called Saxton a “sissy.”

[KIRA]

Corey just called Saxton a “sissy.”

He's gonna be suspended for that one

[Savio]

Ziggler has music again.

:lol: at the scream by the jobberHim and Ellsworth should team next week

[Savio]

Has anyone been on the main roster longer than Rowan without ever holding a belt?

[Bad News Gertner]

Bo Dallas?

[KIRA]

Shouldve hit their real music

[Savio]

Bo Dallas?

Thought Rowan was on the roster longer but if not than that must be the answer.

[ClockShot]

Someone's sleeping in the production truck.

[Savio]

Colin Delaney should have been the only person to come down.

[KIRA]

Sleep at the switch

[KIRA]

I dunno Sami Zayn kinda is like you DB

[Savio]

https://media1.tenor.com/images/ae621dd51c692f5c5eacfb86312842be/tenor.gif?itemid=5266632

Can't look at that character without getting depressed.

[KIRA]

Stacking the deck

Bryan and Shane are Tyrants

[Emperor Smeat]

Two guest refs makes the Orton-Nakamura vs Sami-Owens match more interesting but can still see it being Shane who actually turns and not Bryan.

[Savio]

What sense would that make?

[Emperor Smeat]

https://i.imgur.com/wlthth7.gif

[KIRA]

Man was I off thinking Simon Gotch would be the breakout vaudvillan

[KIRA]

"hes balding"

[Emperor Smeat]

What sense would that make?
Shane gets enraged that his plans to get rid of Sami and Owens got thwarted and becomes a lot more tyrannical with power. Bryan doesn't suddenly side with Sami or Owens but sees Shane as the bigger threat to Smackdown.

[KIRA]

Racists

[DAMN iNATOR]

Man was I off thinking Simon Gotch would be the breakout vaudvillan

'Memba when we all thought the same about Ted DiBiase, Jr. and Legacy?

[KIRA]

There was a time when Rusev wouldve had both Usos locked in the Accolade

[Savio]

Shane gets enraged that his plans to get rid of Sami and Owens got thwarted and becomes a lot more tyrannical with power. Bryan doesn't suddenly side with Sami or Owens but sees Shane as the bigger threat to Smackdown.

Oh I thought you meant he would side with Sami and Owens

[Savio]

I've seen a match with 2 refs.... can't remember which match.

[Emperor Smeat]

So why would RAW agree to terms of not getting to sign Sami and Owens if they lose at Clash of Champs. Shane being dumb enough to potentially getting rid of two stars because of petty reasons is Smackdown's fault and not also RAW's.

[Savio]

Byron and Bryan having a good debateSo why would RAW agree to terms of not getting to sign Sami and Owens if they lose at Clash of Champs. Shane being dumb enough to potentially getting rid of two stars because of petty reasons is Smackdown's fault and not also RAW's.

I mean I guess if they are in a "ratings war" even if Raw doesn't get them it's still better for Raw if SDL to loses 2 members.

[Savio]

Now Byron is making poor arguments.... dummy

"He tried to gouge your eye out in a different company it shouldn't matter"

[KIRA]

Sounds like Shane and Bryan need to go to the table

[Evil Vito]

Well, Shane's the one turning then

[Savio]

Nak is turning, he said "Yep" in the promo.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Byron so paranoid...I bet he wakes up and falls asleep to Rockwell's Somebody's Watching Me.

[Savio]

I did enjoy the show tonight though, SDL is picking back up :y:

[owenbrown]

I wouldve been all for all six showing up on both shows and calling themselves neXXus

considering Paige is in the group, should there be a third X in that name? :shifty:

[Tom Guycott]

YEP YEP YEP WHAT IT DO

For some reason, this is what I think of when that one new chick talks. Only with someone trying to do it with a bad impersonation of the voice of Rouge from the 90's X-Men cartoon.

[Tom Guycott]

"Thats why I'm the champ" is like the catchphrase for whoever holds the women's title.

Hercule Satan thinks they should get new material.

[Sepholio]

Hercule Satan thinks they should get new material.

Ha! It's funny because in reality his daughter would mollywop his ass.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Smackdown was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Raw this week. Sucks I had to work or I would have been there.

[Big Vic]

Ha! It's funny because in reality his daughter would mollywop his ass.

Videl vs Spopovich (sp?) was one of the craziest DBZ fights I have ever seen.

[TSI]

Smackdown was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Raw this week. Sucks I had to work or I would have been there.

I much prefer smackdown to raw currently

[Cool King]

• I see the WWE Championship has had a slight change.

I like it.

• So Ziggler has his theme back again.

He really should have debuted a new one if he was going to have a theme again but at this point, why bother?

I feel Ziggler is past the point of no return and the best thing for him is to probably leave the WWE for a while.

Right now, he doesn't really "stand out" like he used to.

He's just "there". Which is a shame.

• Is it just me or does Bobby Roode kinda look like Billy Mays in the Clash of Champions match card?

https://s8.postimg.org/qyrkziq8l/cocs.png

• This is probably the end of The Fashion Files as it looks like it's been relegated to WWE.com.

Also that they're finally facing The Bludgeon Brothers.

• Hallelujah, Aiden English scored a pinfall victory. I'm a big fan of the team of Rusev & English and it's great to see English being more successfull after losing the dead weight that was Simon Gotch.

Hopefully, they win the titles on Sunday.

That would be great.

• I also just want to say how annoying I find The New Day. I really don't know who I find more annoying, The New Day or Zayn & Owens.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I thought something was different about the title, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I thought it looked good, whatever it was.

Also, I was geeking out at Big E dancing to Rusev's music with a pancake in his mouth.

[Cool King]

The red line is now a black line.

https://s8.postimg.org/6l0g4ih5x/wwe.png

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think AJ's name plates were blue also.

[Big Vic]

I think those groves in the leather are new too right?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Not sure. It does look pretty slick, though. :y:

[KIRA]

considering Paige is in the group, should there be a third X in that name? :shifty:

A triple X chromosome ? that doesn't make any sen---ohhh ok ;)

[KIRA]

Videl vs Spopovich (sp?) was one of the craziest DBZ fights I have ever seen.

Hurcule vs Cell was the best "fight" in that whole arc It was the first time DBZ made me actually double over laughing

[Savio]

Hurcule vs Cell was the best "fight" in that whole arc It was the first time DBZ made me actually double over laughing

Haven't seen that one yet. I will have to check it out.

[Simple Fan]

Had to Google this stuff and thought DBZ was some obscure promotion I hadn't heard of. Turns out it was Dragon Ball Z and I just wasn't NERD enough to get the references. Haven't watched that since I was a kid.

[Savio]

Who's the bigger nerd the Classic DBZ fan or the current TNA fan?

[Bad News Gertner]

Thought Rowan was on the roster longer but if not than that must be the answer.

Dallas has him by a few months

[Simple Fan]

Who's the bigger nerd the Classic DBZ fan or the current TNA fan?

I guess me as I'd be both, haven't watched "DBZ" in a long time and thought it was over but my brother just told me they have new ones. Used to have the video game, wasn't big into it but I liked the show just didn't get the references. It's Impact Wrestling currently by the way. Need to update that thread though and might do it tomorrow if I watch Impact at an appropriate time and am not drunk.

[Lock Jaw]

Daniel Bryan looking a lot like that bearded dude from The Hangover whose name I can't remember.....

(except not fat)

[Anybody Thrilla]

Zach Galifinakis, or somewhere thereabouts on the spelling.

[Big Vic]

Can someone remind me of a match before that had 2 referees? (Not an enforcer that is on the outside.)

[Anybody Thrilla]

They were talking like it hasn't happened before.

[Savio]

Yeah.... I remember one happening before though :/

[Anybody Thrilla]

It seems as if you don't.

[Savio]

Maybe its the Mandela affect.

[Savio]

I knew I wasn't crazy, fuck you ABT, it was this match:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WSoyUqgcz0U" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Vince didn't enter the match until near the end "due to injury"

[owenbrown]

How the hell did they go through that match with the fact they may or may not have known about Owen Hart dying in the ring that night?

[Anybody Thrilla]

I never watched that PPV.

And fuck YOU, Savior. All I said was that they talked like it had never happened (which they did) and that you didn't seem to remember it happening (which you didn't without research). Motherfucker.

[Big Vic]

We can settle this outside if you want!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Settle what? I'm one hundred percent correct.
