SMACKDOWN LIVE 5/16/17: The Phenomenal One vs. The Maharaja

[Poit]

No thread yet? Okay, let's do a thread.

[Savio]

Glad he finally walked out of that lighting.

[rez]

MY BAD, MY BAD

[Savio]

Who brought that huge Narc head?

[KIRA]

Juicer Mahal!

[ClockShot]

Good evening.

A-Show should be a great show.

[Evil Vito]

Jinder looks more and more ridiculous each week

[Savio]

Dolph looking to improve his record to 1-52 this Sunday at Backlash!

[Emperor Smeat]

Jinder sounded like he has a cold.

[Triple A]

Just got home... Did Jinder Mahal speak in a really boring calm voice again due to Jim Ross's suggestion, or did he scream a lot in his cool angry heel voice...

[Emperor Smeat]

Just got home... Did Jinder Mahal speak in a really boring calm voice again due to Jim Ross's suggestion, or did he scream a lot in his cool angry heel voice...

Calm like last week.

[KIRA]

Jinder looks more and more ridiculous each week

If being a disturbingly chiseled Hindu god-man is ridiculous then sign me up

You will show his abs the respect and reverence they deserve

[Triple A]

smh :nono:

[KIRA]

Jinder Mahal makes 90s Lex Luger look like Yokozuna

[rez]

If being a disturbingly chiseled Hindu god-man is ridiculous then sign me up

Canadian Canuck-God. fixed.

[Emperor Smeat]

If Jinder wins the title, his side plates needs to be a logo of his muscles.

[KIRA]

If Jinder wins the title, his side plates needs to be a logo of his muscles.

He needs a custom belt that has veins linking the plates and yes his abs should be on the plates themselves

[RP]

These Smackdown moves are dumb. AJ and Charlotte were great heels. Hell, they could have made a great stable with AJ and Owens.

[rez]

Calgarywood boyz going to interfere when AJ gets the upper hand. I like Jindar but he's no AJ.

[KIRA]

These Smackdown moves are dumb. AJ and Charlotte were great heels. Hell, they could have made a great stable with AJ and Owens.

SDL needs a main face and the King of Strong style isn't there yet.

[rez]

Styles is the hero heel and/or face we don't deserve

[rez]

Wrong Canadian interfered but same result

[RP]

Welcome to the Zayne Zone, AJ!

[Emperor Smeat]

Styles-Jinder was decent.

[KIRA]

YES!(I love you to death Styles) but YES IRON ABS MAHAL!

[RP]

I'll be honest. I love Jinder. And i really hope he beats Randy Orton. I hope they give him the strap and keep pushing him. I think he's great.

[rez]

SDL would have won already, even if Braun had been on RAW.

[KIRA]

Styles is the hero heel and/or face we don't deserve

Jinder Mahal is the heel we've always needed but didn't know how much we needed.

[rez]

I heard the Jinder/Orton match was going to take place in an Indie ring.

[Emperor Smeat]

Will laugh if they pull an Emmalina with Lana since there is no way its going to work.

Is Disco Inferno or Alex Wright the last time a dance gimmick actually worked for the long run in WWE and WCW?

[KIRA]

I'll be honest. I love Jinder. And i really hope he beats Randy Orton. I hope they give him the strap and keep pushing him. I think he's great.

Right? I am digging him like crazy J&J security Canadian branch just makes him even better.

[KIRA]

Breezango is the greatest

that one segment was better than all of RAW

[Lock Jaw]

Fashion Files entertaining once again

[Triple A]

Day One Is H

[Lock Jaw]

Really have no idea who the face/heel team is with The Usos/Breezango, though......

Both were heels..... since winning the contendership, Breezango has been fighting heel teams but are essentially "the same"....... The Usos largely been "non-existant" except for last week when they cut a face promo.......

[KIRA]

Just change them to Fashion Police

[KIRA]

Jinder Mahal's arms look at the "In my Veins" part of Randy's tron and they just laugh.

[Triple A]

Breezango def the faces and the Usos def the heels!

[rez]

Scott Steiner should guest referee

[Triple A]

Who were "The Colons" feuding with before... weren't they feuding with someone... back 2 being jobbers I guess

[Triple A]

Who were "The Colons" feuding with before... weren't they feuding with someone... back 2 being jobbers I guess

They were feuding with American Alpha... forgot about them

[Savio]

Fashion Files will probably be the highlight of the week.

[rez]

/yay. down with the midget romans

[slik]

I'm enjoying it so far.

I liked the hint at the beginning that Jericho would return (instead of disappearing for several years). Fashion Files was funny. AJ/Jinder and this tag match are just ok but harmless - I'm not bored or anything.

Easier to watch than RAW for some reason, again.

[RP]

I kinda like this Breezdango group.

[RP]

Uso's are amazing right now haha

[RP]

Holy shit! Uso's are red hot on the mic! Love it!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SHOWWWWWW

[rez]

gg. usos can't cut a heel promo for shit.

[Savio]

Where was that "Head on a swivel" line from?

[Lock Jaw]

Usos cut one good promo vs. American Alpha with the whole "It's not paranoia, it's The Usos" line.......

Which made sense because they were "coming after the champs"

But now they just use it in every promo it seems......

[Poit]

If only the Usos had been able to do a promo like that when they were faces.

[ClockShot]

I don't think I understood one word from that Usos promo.

[ClockShot]

A for effort.

Also, nice to see The Fashion Police finally getting some love from the writers in back.

[ClockShot]

Shane is available tonight.

[slik]

I have missed Rusev, hope he interferes here!

[RP]

If only the Usos had been able to do a promo like that when they were faces.

why tho? Who else could have done a heel promo on Smackdown like that?

[ClockShot]

It's that time again.

WHY IS JIMMY CHINLESS STILL ON SMACKDOWN?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?exclamationpointquestionmark

[Lock Jaw]

I don't think I understood one word from that Usos promo.

Incomprehensible promo the best kind of promo

[Savio]

All of those distracting tattoos

[Emperor Smeat]

It's that time again.

WHY IS JIMMY CHINLESS STILL ON SMACKDOWN?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?exclamationpointquestionmark

WWE pandering to the chinless market.

[Lock Jaw]

I'm a maaaaaaaann maaann maaaaan

[rez]

why tho? Who else could have done a heel promo on Smackdown like that?

Just let the SD tag division die and give Fashion Police promos to replace it

[Savio]

How come Nia Jax is on both shows?

[Savio]

:shifty:

[rez]

How come Nia Jax is on both shows?

lol

[Savio]

Who writes for the women?

[Triple A]

"I'ma snatch you bald" not 1 of the strongest wrestling catch phrases...

[ClockShot]

For you NBA fans, Celtics win the #1 pick in the draft.

[Poit]

I'm sick of misgendering jokes in wrestling. In everything, really.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Ellsworth

[ClockShot]

FIRE ELLSWORTH! *clap clap clapclapclap*

[Savio]

lol @ Ellsworth.

[Lock Jaw]

I want Becky Lynch vs. James Ellsworth pretty bad

[slik]

I for one am shocked, absolutely shocked, that a contract signed has escalated to violence.

[Ruien]

Damn. Ellsworth has improved a ton on his promos. Wonder if he is wearing baggy clothes now because he is getting into actual wrestler shape.

[slik]

"I'ma snatch you bald" not 1 of the strongest wrestling catch phrases...

It fits with the target demo for Total Divas outside of women

"Get dat weave" "Drag Ha" "Snatch ha bald" all do

[rez]

duh

[Triple A]

Still love Ellsworth...

[slik]

Charlotte looks like she is always plotting and planning her next move....

[slik]

What is the main-event tonight?

Will we see Sami or Shinsuke?

[slik]

We better get a James Ellsworth vs Becky Lynch match at some point

[Emperor Smeat]

:wtf: at that explanation by JBL for wanting Ellsworth to stay

[Emperor Smeat]

We better get a James Ellsworth vs Becky Lynch match at some point

WWE would need to convince Mattel and/or their other big sponsors to make it happen. Mattel (and the Benoit family tragedy) is pretty much the reason why they went PG.

[rez]

I'd find them playing battleship against each other highly entertaining.

[Lock Jaw]

What does a man fighting a woman have to do with PG? They could do it in a "PG" way......

[Emperor Smeat]

Supposedly Mattel hates inter-gender matches or at least that was the reason given by PWI whenever the topic would come up in their weekly Q&A articles.

[GD]

Dolphin Swiggler.

[Savio]

Was Ziggler never Tag Champ?

[RP]

I think Nakumura's got the perfect debute opponent in Ziggler.

[Lock Jaw]

Supposedly Mattel hates inter-gender matches or at least that was the reason given by PWI whenever the topic would come up in their weekly Q&A articles.

Imagining some kid making their man/woman action figures fight each other, and then Mattel executive coming out of nowhere and being all "No, you can't do that! You're playing with them wrong!"

[Savio]

Oh wait he was tag Champ in the Spirit squad but that was before the Dolph character

[Lock Jaw]

Orton's tron says "In My Veins"......

Jinder Mahal's tron should just say "My Veins"

[mike adamle]

Supposedly Mattel hates inter-gender matches or at least that was the reason given by PWI whenever the topic would come up in their weekly Q&A articles.

So basically it's fake news then right? Not everything you read in a dirtsheet is a fact :roll:

[rez]

yawn..baron/orton?

[Lock Jaw]

Giving away Orton/Corbin again in a random match..... :nono:

[Savio]

They have done it before.

[rez]

So basically it's fake news then right? Not everything you read in a dirtsheet is a fact :roll:

It's true. I'm a stockholder so shut your roll eyes

[Emperor Smeat]

So basically it's fake news then right? Not everything you read in a dirtsheet is a fact :roll:

Who said anything about it being a fact. That's been the speculated reason PWI and the Observer have given over the years whenever the topic would get brought up.

You have some really unhealthy obsession with declaring stuff as fake news.

[Lock Jaw]

They have done it before.

That's why I said "again".............

[Lock Jaw]

Feel like Aries and TJP have wrestled each other 10 times in the past two months

[mike adamle]

[GD]

For those keeping track, Randy Orton isn't a 13-time WWE Champion.

[GD]

Oh wait he was tag Champ in the Spirit squad but that was before the Dolph character

Yeah! WWE doesn't recognize his reign as a former World Tag Team Champion.

[rez]

Get a room

[GD]

For those keeping track, Randy Orton isn't a 13-time WWE Champion.

He's a 9-time WWE Champion.

[mike adamle]

Thanks for clearing that up

[Lock Jaw]

For those NOT keeping track, Randy Orton is WWE Champion.

[Emperor Smeat]

You have some really unhealthy obsession with declaring stuff as real news when you're just making up fake news.

Go troll somewhere else since you've been really annoying on TPWW the past few weeks.

That's your exact quote. I'm pointing out what you're saying is false. Not exactly trolling.

You're just upset someone is calling you out on your dirtsheets being facts nonsense.

[Savio]

Oh no its jinder unhindered!

[rez]

come on AJ

[slik]

Balor, Styles and Corbin all pinned clean this week. Building to the future, as ever.

[Triple A]

Nice @ angry, intense JInder Mahal... F Jim Ross

[mike adamle]

Would be cool if Jim Ross was revealed as Jinder's terrorist leader

[Lock Jaw]

Love Noam Dar theme

[slik]

205 live kind of dull so far....feel like I would 'not miss anything' by going back to not watching it

[slik]

What did Jim Ross do @Triple_A24?

[Triple A]

What do you mean

[Triple A]

What did Jim Ross do @Triple_A24?

Some1 posted something last week about Jim Ross saying in "The Ross Report" that Jinder Mahal needs to "tone it down" or something and speak more calmly and slowly... then Jinder started speaking in a boring calm tone and stopped being all intense and angry on the mic, which was the best part about him imo... sucked...

Why would Gallagher want to steal something belonging to someone else?

Doesn't seem like a very gentleman thing to do.

[Lock Jaw]

Hate Renee Young's current hairstyle........ p much ruined her.........

[Emperor Smeat]

Rowan could probably make an Evil Doink gimmick work.
