OFFICIAL JULY 4th Edition of SMACKDOWN!!!!!!!!!

[Lock Jaw]

Ha ha at "You're no Strowman" chants at Neville.

:nono: at Neville's reaction just being "Nice." and then going back to his script....

[Emperor Smeat]

Commercials don't work that way....

Understand they probably have a required amount to do per show and ad companies would get pissed if they were bunched together but feel WWE could do a lot better job with timing them on their end.

Think main events during the Attitude Era rarely had bad commercials break during them because WWE was a lot better with timing or planning out shows for breaks. Then again things could also have changed a lot for how commercials are handled.

[Lock Jaw]

Matches were a lot shorter back then.

[Emperor Smeat]

Would have been better for Kendrick to just show up with a bag of tea and trash it if he wanted to really insult Gallagher on America's birthday.

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty great match between TJP and Rich Swann.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Renee Young doesn't know what today celebrating. Silly Canadian.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Daniel Bryan looking at that title like he has never seen anything as hideous in his entire life.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL @ WWE letting Lana use her IRL name above her twitter handle.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Bryan doing a rap against New Day because he couldn't be in the rap battle earlier.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Oh DB...always so adorable when he's trying to appropriate hip-hop culture. :lol:

[GD]

Quality episode of Smackdown with very less to complain about.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

She's not even a real journalism.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That's right.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Couldn't care less about what Mike & Maria are saying; just enjoying Maria's beauty...looks like she hasn't aged a day since she won the Diva Search in whatever year.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL Bryan bringing up the last name thing. :lol:

[Lock Jaw]

Daniel Bryan announcing a weiner-eating contest for next week between AJ Styles/Kevin Owens.

[Lock Jaw]

#AJStylesWeinerChallenge

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the hashtag Bryan wants trending for Styles.

[owenbrown]

the fuck? :wtf:

[slik]

Maria never won the diva search

[Triple A]

I wonder if Kenton Lane will report that The Colons have been re-hired!

Yeah, they were..... think they were gone after the commercial......

Apparently only EPICO was there and not PRIMO

[Big Vic]

Maria never won the diva searchShe didn't? Are you sure?

[Cool King]

• Happy to see Rusev back. I didn't realise how much I missed him until now.

It's a shame he's involved in this American vs Evil Foreigner thing though, as it's blatantly obvious that Cena will win. Where will Rusev go after that?

I can see Cena continuing with his Americana shtick after Battleground though, as I think he'll be going after Mahal and the WWE Championship.

• Styles/Gable was actually a good match.

I feel that American Alpha are pretty much done now though.

• SmackDown Women's Championship match is ten seconds long.

Why?

I can only hope that Tamina randomly showing up leads to her getting a shot for the title.

• Boring Barron Corbin appearing on SmackDown dressed as somebody's dad for some reason.

• Why are we getting a rap battle and who the fuck is Wale?

Also, why is it pronounced "Wa-le" and not "Whale"?

It's safe to say that I skipped it all.

• It's in the history books. Aiden English defeats Randy Orton.

I really would like to see more of English. I think a decent singles run would be interesting.

• So it looks like The Hype Bros are going their own way. Which is fine, it's just seems like Mojo will be the one turning heel, which I'm sure can only mean that Ryder will slip into jobber obscurity once he loses to Mojo on PPV.

I said it before but for me, I think Ryder should be the one to turn heel and Mojo stay as a face. I think it's the only way that both guys will "win" and avoid being jobbers in the future.

The way it looks now, Mojo is the only winner.

• Overall, this SmackDown was very "every country that isn't America sucks", but I've come to expect that kind of thing now from 4th of July Raw & SmackDowns.

[Big Vic]

The rap battle was pretty good honestly.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

She didn't? Are you sure?

She won it by losing it. Same with the Miz and Tough Enough.

[Big Vic]

Whoa totally had her confused with Christy Hemme.

[XL]

The timing of the Hype Bros split is terrible. It's gonna come off as a low-rent Cass/Enzo.

[Big Vic]

I don't think they are splitting.

[slik]

She didn't? Are you sure?

The first DIVA search was a battle between Christy Hemme and Carmella DeCesare. Carmella made it to the finals via 'being hot' but never seemed interested in WWE or seemed to really care. Competitors Carmella defeated who were eventually hired by WWE included:


* Michelle McCool

* Maria Kanellis

* Joy Giovani (she was portrayed on SD as "Big Show's special friend Joy, who likes to bake cookies"...led to Michael Cole screaming Big Show had "Frying Pan Sized Hands" every match he was in)

* Amy Weber (she who infamously had her bag pooped in by Randy Orton and was given the onscreen role as JBL's valet during his WWE main-event run).

* Candice Michelle


Carmella DeCesare was hired by WWE after the Diva Search and had a 'Lingerie Pillow Fight' with Christy Hemme at the infamous Taboo Tuesday p-p-v. Despite being popular for her looks and more over than Hemme with live crowds, WWE released DeCesare a few weeks after Taboo Tuesday due to "a really bad attitude backstage". DeCesare then retired from acting and wrestling and took a job working for her husband (NFL player Jeff Garcia)'s charity, 'Pass It On'.

[Big Vic]

I eat styrofoam peanuts and am not as cool as owenbrown.

[slik]

lol

[Big Vic]

I find it absolutely SEXY that Kenton "Dickpic" Lane is resorting to mod abuse to further his agenda.

[Simple Fan]

Rap battle was better than I thought it would be and The Usos totally won. Gable/Styles was good for the time it went. With Ellsworth being gone I really want to see Cass come over to Smackdown and be with Carmella. Have Enzo/Cass match be a loser leaves Raw match and Enzo winning somehow. Wouldn't hurt Cass anymore than all the superstars that came over during the Superstars Shake Up and would give Cass a fresh start away from Enzo. Styles winning the battle royal was kind of obvious especially after Sami has interrupted the Power of Love two weeks in a row. Sami is a good start for Kanellis but Mike has to go over I believe or he wont last long in WWE. Might be another Total Divas dude.

For 35 seconds, Vic Joseph was tolerable.

[#1-norm-fan]

American Alpha was so fucking good in NXT. So much potential. How did they fuck it up so badly so quickly?

[KIRA]

It is completely worth it to follow James Ellsworth on Twitter.

[Shadrick]

It is completely worth it to follow James Ellsworth on Twitter.

DUH...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

American Alpha was so fucking good in NXT. So much potential. How did they fuck it up so badly so quickly?

They rushed them to the main roster.
