The Official "If a Smackdown is Live, will anybody watch it?" Thread 1/29/15

[Lock Jaw]

Featuring THE DEMON KANE

[RVDmark]

Lol, just made a thread, good to see there are at least 2 of us watching.

[Lock Jaw]

New Smackdown graphics so disgusting.... serious "bush league" looking stuff....

[RVDmark]

Yeah, first time I've seen Smackdown in about 5 years, the intro is just really old looking.

[Lock Jaw]

Random comedy face Triple H turn

[RVDmark]

Dear Triple H, WWE is an international company and I haven't got a clue who/what the fuck you are talking about right now.

[RVDmark]

Here comes the golden boy.

[RVDmark]

Isn't this the first live Smackdown, where the hell is everyone?

[RVDmark]

Will Reigns overcome the odds?

[Lock Jaw]

Wonder why Roman switched back to his old Shield attire and ditched his "new" digs with the Tron pockets or whatever it was....

[RVDmark]

Probably damage control, people loved the shield. Or maybe Randy shat in his bag?

[Volare]

Cause he's so serious right now!

[Lock Jaw]

I hope Matador Fernando is on this show

[Kingofdaswing]

Smackdown is still on the air???

[Lock Jaw]

Ahahaha Roman spitting on his own face....

[Lock Jaw]

Roman still generally popular with a normal crowd.... with a slightly "lady-heavy" pop....

[Lock Jaw]

Vince's eyebrows freak me out these days....

[rockman725]

I personally feel that shits all over everyone who's been signed up from the start paying every month. I let November slide, but now another ENTIRE month!?! I don't mind the usual free week trial promo thing, but 30 friggin days when people have been paying all this time. It should be free for everyone then.

[Corndad]

They really are crapping on people who have paid $9.99 since the start.

[Corndad]

I was hoping Bubba Ray Dudley was coming out to fight Rollins for some reason.

[Lock Jaw]

Where's Teddy Long to make a six man tag....

[OssMan]

why did they ever "unite" the smackdown and raw brands... remember when smackDOWN was awesome in 2004, then at PPVs like royal rumble you would have guys fighting each other who never even interacted, or like an inter-brand feud between Brock Lesnar and Goldberg was insane, seems so much better that way

[Lock Jaw]

Did they just come back from commercial to show part of The Usos' entrance, and then immediately go back to commercial?

[OssMan]

Don't wanna watch this anymore

[Lock Jaw]

Tyson Kidd wins!

Cesaro and Kidd are the ONLY choice to take the title from The Usos. Anything else would be undignified.

[OssMan]

Smackdown only 2 hours right

[Lock Jaw]

Rusev reminds me of a killer tomato

[Lock Jaw]

Why does Rusev think he should be declared winner, exactly... nothing controversial about his elimination....

[Lock Jaw]

Rusev shouldn't talk... what happened to letting Lana do the talking?

[Lock Jaw]

Wish they would have picked up the Ryback/Rusev feud and had Ryback be the one to beat Rusev, instead of feeding him to Cena...

[Corndad]

Hoesie O Donnell

[Lock Jaw]

Cena "on fire" with the "hilarious jokes" tonight....

[Kingofdaswing]

Cena's shit is so old and childish. I wish he would just go away.

[Lock Jaw]

Wish Cena would at least challenge for the title... build it up as something that is actually worth something, and not something that is "beneath him"

[Emperor Smeat]

Rusev vs Cena is now for the US title?

Missed most of this segment and only heard Cena using his "Champ is here" catchphrase.

[Kingofdaswing]

Oh wow! Rusev vs Cena, Paige vs Nikki, no wonder why they are giving this shit away for free.

[Lock Jaw]

Renee and WWE Paige on the same screen....

[Lock Jaw]

Really confused at Paige's face turn.... at first thought it was an "angle" with Natalya that would lead to a triple threat.... but now she seems to genuinely be a face...

I guess now that she is a Total Diva, they get to throw out all of the "story" from her vs. AJ Lee and "start over".

[Lock Jaw]

Not that I am complaining, because more WWE Paige on my screen in any way is a good thing...

[Lock Jaw]

Nice Goldust jacket

[Lock Jaw]

BORN AND BRED TO RIP AND SHRED time

[Lock Jaw]

I miss the look for Viktor with the black contact eyes and the Starman goggles...

Viktor kind of looks like Stannis Baratheon

[OssMan]

Tyson Kidd wins!

Cesaro and Kidd are the ONLY choice to take the title from The Usos. Anything else would be undignified.
It will probly go to The Ascension

[Lock Jaw]

Probably... but I like The Usos more than I do The Ascension, so I don't want it to.

[RP]

So on Comcast, it states that Kane vs Daniel Bryan in a casket match??

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: R Truth's laugh

[Corndad]

R-Truth that entire segment LOL

[OssMan]

Bae Wyatt

[Lock Jaw]

Wyatt saying he fears nothing living or dead..... foreshadowing...

[OssMan]

Do you know if KANE is ever gonna go back to being just KANE or Demon Kane or whatever, and with pyro, just really love Kane, corporate thing was funny at first but it's old

[Lock Jaw]

Snacking on Mini-Wheats out-of-the-box...... have found the rare "three stuck together".... sign of good luck... should go buy a lotto ticket....

[Kingofdaswing]

Kane should retire.

I find it very sad, the top Heels are guys that have been in the business for over 15 years. WWE has failed miserably in creating new top tier stars. Very evident during the a Royal Rumble.

[Lock Jaw]

Daniel Bryan really needs to cut his hair... I know it is part of his "image" now, but it is just getting so long that it looks greasy and gross...

[DrCrawford]

It is getting a little long, but I get that King Arthur vibe from him, so its not so bad

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What has happened to Daniel Bryan? He looks like half of the size he was at WrestleMania 30. He needs to eat some protein or something.

[RP]

Daniel Bryan is the greatest wrestler of all time aside from Dean Ambrose who still might win last Sunday's Royal Rumble some way!

[rockman725]

It's hard for me to buy into Reigns beating Lesnar at WM as being the finish to end the PPV so I see no other possibility than Rollins cashing in on Reigns after he wins. Rollins becomes face & Reigns is now a heel.

To me, they could have legitimately saved Reigns' push by having Rollins cash in on Lesnar & win at the Rumble, creating a Lesnar/Reigns/Rollins triple threat. That title match really should have been last. Having Reigns go over Rollins to win at WM could have saved him as a face and present him with a good feud to start his run.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Daniel Bryan wearing his kickpads from WM30.

[Lock Jaw]

KANE LOST?!!!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

KANE LOST?!!!

BOGUS!

[Emperor Smeat]

KANE LOST?!!!

:eek:

[Blonde Moment]

So ... Brock/Rock/Reigns for WM?

[Mr. Pierre]

Gonna guess that HHH's announcement is that there will be two World Title matches at Mania.

Reigns vs. Lesnar
Winner of Reigns/Lesnar vs. Winner of Elimination Chamber from Fast Lane

I understand they changed the name of the Feb PPV to get away from the Chamber gimmick, but I think they are pulling a serious audible

[el bobbo]

I totally blanked on this. I wasn't even doing anything important tonight. What happened with the whole Roman Reigns/Royal Rumble fiasco?

[Mr. Pierre]

Have Lesnar beat Reigns, then Bryan beat Lesnar. Anyway, I'll stop getting my hopes up and expect HHH to say "Roman won the Rumble, deal with it."

[Mr. Pierre]

I totally blanked on this. I wasn't even doing anything important tonight. What happened with the whole Roman Reigns/Royal Rumble fiasco?

HHH said he would make an announcement regarding the "controversy" on Monday that'll "shake the universe to its core"

Paging Big Ryck...Paging Big Ryck

[Droford]

Uh

Im surprised Bryan won.

[RaginRonic]

You think they'll re-do the whole Royal Rumble match on Raw, and book a new winner?

[Clerk]

Featuring THE DEMON KANE

Can you stop trying to be slik?

[KIRA]

Viktor kind of looks like Stannis Baratheon

Bend the Knee or I will rip and shred

[Droford]

WWE Fastlane Final Four

Bryan vs Big Show vs Rusev vs Reigns for WM spot

Kane would be in but because he "dissappeared" after losing the casket match he gets replaced by Bryan who probably has to win a qualifying match on RAW involving Ambrose/Ziggler/Wyatt/Axel etc

Rusev gives up his match with Cena for the opportunity to face Lesnar but he loses and they end up wrestling at Mania as planned

Reigns still wins

[NormanSmiley]

they really are playing it fast and loose with the "controversial" term. It wasn't a dusty finish, or a someone got eliminated that a ref didn't see. there is no controversy.


cole and that idiot with him tonight saying db and ziggler had the crowd support so they should have won not only shits on the concept that "this isn't all staged" and that the rumble is a popularity contest.


I mean is the announcement gonna be we booked poorly and just encourage fans to shit all over something anytime they don't like it?

[Dark One]

Monday Night Raw In Your House: Final Four

Kane vs Big Show vs Rusev (all pro Authority) vs Reigns

Kane no shows cause he "dissappeared" after losing the casket match and is replaced by Bryan who probably has to win a qualifying match involving Ambrose/Ziggler/Wyatt

Spoiler Reigns still wins

The anger would be amazing.

[NormanSmiley]

how many paychecks has kane robbed the company for by being a worthless midcarder his whole life?

[JimmyMess]

I'm pretty sure they've willingly paid him, no robbery there.

[Droford]

Kane apparently made it out of the casket alive without disappearing so bleh

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>That Cena/Rusev confrontation was as bad as I thought it would be. 3 Lana/ho jokes out of Cena in, what, 2 minutes? Slut shaming, what a face!

Their matches should be pretty boss though.</font>

[XL]

I hope they don't position Reigns against the Authority (though it looks like they already have), it's not gonna help with people thinking he "took Bryan's spot".

[Lock Jaw]

Reigns has already been positioned against The Authority since before The Shield broke up.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I have no interest in Cena vs. Rusev. After the Rumble, they sort of have to go that way, but I'd have had Ryback come out tonight and tell Cena to stay out of his unfinished business with Rusev. Cue a match between the two, which could have ended with Rusev attacking both men and setting up a Triple Threat for Fast Lane.

Paige just being announced as Nikki Bella's Fast Lane opponent? They're not even trying with the girls. Have Paige and Natalya wrestle in a #1 Contender's Match and tear it up. Perhaps make it the longest Divas match in WWE history? Give them some sort of accolade. Nattie could challenge at Fast Lane, with Paige backing her up against Brie, leading to people wondering if Paige could be trusted.

There's not really any controversy in a kayfabe sense about Reigns winning. Still, I hope Triple H forces Reigns to defend his WrestleMania title shot at Fast Lane. I'd probably do Reigns vs. Triple H himself, but I think they're more likely to do an Elimination Chamber or something.

I'm still hoping they give us Lesnar vs. Bryan for the title at Fast Lane.

[XL]

I thought they binned the Elimination Chamber PPV because they were struggling to find arenas that could host it? Seems a bit strange if they change the PPV name but retain the gimmick, why not just wait til next year to change it?
