This Smackdown better be good or I just wasted my 1000th post on mediocrity

[ClockShot]

Most likely be hopping back and forth between this and the Yankee game.

[DAMN iNATOR]

This Smackdown better be good or I just wasted my 1000th post on mediocrity

HAPPY 10,000TH POST, REZ! #FrankDrebinPost

[KIRA]

Are they going to give Jinder the racist trifecta tonight?

[ClockShot]

Renee in just a basic getup tonight.

Eh.

Renee in just a basic getup tonight.

Eh.

She could dress as a nun and pull it off

[ClockShot]

Halloween is a few weeks away.

[Triple A]

Why do they keep making him cut promos

[KIRA]

Im starting to suspect that WWE does not know what to do with or how to handle Nakamura

Lucky for them the dude is over as hell

[Lock Jaw]

Renee in just a basic getup tonight.

Eh.

Really like that she has gone back to her short hair, though

[rez]

frilling interview

[Savio]

Wonder how many languages the people chanting "What" know...

[KIRA]

Thank you for taking out the mouthguard

[ClockShot]

Singh Bros. get their own music?

Why not just make them start competing as a tag team? Help Smackdown's tag team issue a big.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah

Uh

Uh

Uh

[KIRA]

and there it is

[Emperor Smeat]

Why do they keep making him cut promos
https://i.imgur.com/BkStsHS.gif

Real answer is the WWE is a very promo-heavy company compared to almost everyone else in wrestling. Also they have a really bad habit of not hiding or helping with the weakness of wrestlers. In Nakamura's case, it would be his promo abilities in English.

[Lock Jaw]

Wish I had Jinder Mahal's majestic curly hair

[KIRA]

Perfect opening to bring in Asuka to murder the shit outta them

[KIRA]

Wish I had Jinder Mahal's majestic curly hair

I pictured you with a full head of hair

[Emperor Smeat]

The Singh Bros or Smackdown's Women's division?

[rez]

Perfect opening to bring in Asuka to murder the shit outta them

Except Vince logic was to send her to RAW :rant:

[RP]

Welp! Yankees are done. Welcome back to the thread Clockshot

[KIRA]

The Singh Bros or Smackdown's Women's division?

Singh bros. and My boy Jinder

Everyone in the Womens division on both shows is already dead they just havent realized it yet.

[ClockShot]

Welp! Yankees are done. Welcome back to the thread Clockshot

HI!

Just in time to see Carmella and her bitch. Great. Not really.

[rez]

Please send Bliss back over

[slik]

So this means Nakamura is winning at the ppv...right....

[KIRA]

"Cats are magical"

[Savio]

Ellsworth should cut promos for Nak.

[Savio]

2K18 commercial:

"Be like all of these people...... Be like no one"

[rez]

Please make Charlotte a heel again. I forget she's even on the roster.

[Savio]

Thought Hispanic heritage was last month?

[slik]

I thought this was Breast Cancer month w/ Susan G Komen

[slik]

Show not really good or bad so far tbh...

[Lock Jaw]

Lengthy package

[Emperor Smeat]

Feels like they should have added an extra stip for the Cell match to spice up the hype. Maybe winner becomes new owner of Smackdown or Owens banned from all title matches till end of the year.

[slik]

Feel like Triple A has already quit watching and is jacking off to photos of Adele eating Salad.

[Lock Jaw]

Speaking of lengthy packages, can't wait for Fashon Files to return tonight!

[KIRA]

I'm still trying to figure out where SD went wrong it was on fire for a while now its hit and miss

[KIRA]

Who's the fucking genius that made Bobby Roode a face?

[Lock Jaw]

When it was on fire you had AJ Styles/Dolph Ziggler/Dean Ambrose/John Cena in the main event scene.

Then you had Bray Wyatt/Randy Orton/Jinder Mahal.

Hopefully it can get back up with Nakamura winning the title.

[Lock Jaw]

"Ha ha" at Mike Kanellis whole gimmick and "appeal" already being gone due to Maria not being there because of being knocked up

[Savio]

Happy Mike is back on TV, sad he is jobbing.

[KIRA]

Poor Mike his ENTIRE gimmick hinges on his wife

shouldve kept in your pants buddy.

[Emperor Smeat]

Who's the fucking genius that made Bobby Roode a face?

He started off the same way on NXT and then grew more into becoming a delusional heel.

Only difference is nobody really cares about his first feud being against Ziggy nor would it even be good as a basis to start the gradual turn.

[KIRA]

Mike is SD Curt Hawkins

[ClockShot]

AIR HORN!

SECURITY! TACKLE THAT MAN!

[Lock Jaw]

Audio guy screaming in the truck right now due to Ziggler honking air horn right into mic

[KIRA]

Please just let dolph go to Japan

[Savio]

This jobber is talking tough trash.

[owenbrown]

Dolph is such a dick.

[GD]

Can't stand Dolph Ziggler.

[KIRA]

If somebody had told me 5 yrs ago Ziggler would be more annoying to me than X-Pac was I'd have laughed

[Lock Jaw]

Can't stand Bobby Roode.

[Lock Jaw]

Nah, I lied. I can stand him. He shouldn't be a face, though.

[Emperor Smeat]

Please just let dolph go to Japan

If the rumors are true about his contract, only need to wait till the end of the month for him to finally be gone.

[Savio]

If the rumors are true about his contract, only need to wait till the end of the month for him to finally be gone.Good.

[Savio]

WHEN IS FASHION FILES!?

[Lock Jaw]

WHAT'S DIRK ZOGGLER DOING IN THE IMPACT ZONE?!

[Savio]

Then they will make "Dirk" world champ.

[Lock Jaw]

WHEN IS FASHION FILES!?

[Lock Jaw]

LINE 'EM ALL UP AND KNOCK 'EM DOWN LIKE THIS

[Emperor Smeat]

Having the entire tag division in the Cell sounds like a pretty great idea to do for a match.

[KIRA]

Every single tag team all two of them

[ClockShot]

Honestly think EVERY match at Hell in a Cell should be inside the cell.

Not just 2 out of 5 or 6.

[Emperor Smeat]

:| New Day branded underwear

[KIRA]

Jesus Christ the New Day must be rolling in it right now

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Neither team getting the standing tall moment tonight, wonder what that means for Sunday.

[ClockShot]

You know something. I've been noticing a rather large uptick in Bullet Club shirts worn by fans at WWE events these past few weeks.

I know sounds weird, but every Raw or Smackdown these days there's someone in the front row wearing one.

[KIRA]

When you realize Jinder Mahal has held that belt longer than Bray Wyatt

[rez]

When you realize Jinder Mahal has held that belt longer than Bray Wyatt

Who hasn't?

[Savio]

WHAT!?!?!?!?

:mad:

[ClockShot]

HA! Fashion Files got bumped to Sunday.

Runnin' out of show.

[Lock Jaw]

No Fashion Files tonight.....

[Lock Jaw]

Hey Corbin's theme has lyrics now.... makes it slightly better...... that intro bit still needs to go........

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE has a really bad habit of cooling down great things at the worst time possible. Fashion Files and Fashion Police being the most recent example.

[Lock Jaw]

No Fashion Files tonight.....

https://frinkiac.com/gif/S15E08/651234/653736.gif?b64lines=

[KIRA]

Dont want them to be too over

[ClockShot]

Whoa. Tye stole one.

[Lock Jaw]

DILLINGER WINS!!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THIS SUNDAY NIGHT?!

[KIRA]

Did not see that comin

[Emperor Smeat]

DILLINGER WINS!!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THIS SUNDAY NIGHT?!

That he's going to lose ... wait a minute ... is he even on the card this Sunday?

[KIRA]

Aj really hits corbin where it hurts by havin impeccable hair

[Lock Jaw]

That he's going to lose ... wait a minute ... is he even on the card this Sunday?

No, but Baron Corbin is!

[KIRA]

She has a paint peeling voice

[ClockShot]

Is that Summer Rae?

[Heisenberg]

Dana Warrior should drop one of the women in the ring and complete her heel turn

[ClockShot]

That's Dana Warrior?

Oh, okay.

[KIRA]

Randy Orton is actually in a proxy fued with Aiden English

AIDEN ENGLISH IS IN THE MAIN EVENT

[Emperor Smeat]

Rusev needs to go the next step and have a whole month dedicated to him.

Make it a lot harder for meanie Orton to ruin an entire month of days.

[Savio]

No Fashion Files tonight.....

They needed to fit a 5 minute Shane/KO package in.

[Savio]

Rusev needs to go the next step and have a whole month dedicated to him.

Make it a lot harder for meanie Orton to ruin an entire month of days.Bulgarian taped ropes.

[Lock Jaw]

:?:

What is the logic behind making a Hell in a Cell match Falls Count Anywhere?

[rez]

just tuned back in... go Shane go

[rez]

That's probably too much cardio for Owens to handle

[slik]

Did SD go off the air 7 minutes early?

[rez]

Yes..he's going to need an IV to re hydrate.

[rez]

oh, selfie girl...

[Savio]

So will the cell be down with the door just opened?

[slik]

oh it's back now...Crisley Knows Best started playing randomly...KO def throwing Shane off the Cell on Sunday

[Lock Jaw]

Fans chanting "THIS IS AWESOME"........ :|

[slik]

I guess Shane is winning on Sunday

[RP]

Think about your family Shane

[Lock Jaw]

So will the cell be down with the door just opened?

I guess maybe they can just call for the door to be opened like a regular cage match? Only going outside doesn't gain you victory

Seems to defeat the purpose of Hell in a Cell

If it is just locked like normal it is even worse because it is essentially "Hey, we came up with some booking plans for the match and it would be a lot easier if we could just end the match out of the ring, so let's just make that rule for some reason"

[rez]

Shoulda spray painted KO on Shane's chest..or F yo kidz

[RP]

I'm happy that didnt run over into the new episode of Chrisley

[rez]

DOES GRAYSON EVEN AGE?

[Lock Jaw]

Hey they gave Kalisto his old music back on 205 Live.

Maybe they realized his new theme was the "drizzling poop"

Falls Count Anywhere Hell in a Cell match. lol

I was wondering. How is that supposed to work exactly?

[Evil Vito]

The falls count anywhere stip makes it juuuuuuust a little bit transparent that Shane's doing a sick cell bump (again).

[Sixx]

As much as I never liked McMahon family to actually wrestle I admire Shane's willingness and ability to take bumps like that. Guy is dedicated.

[Cool King]

What is this "teacup" thing Becky keeps doing?

It's kinda stupid and a bit annoying.

[Lock Jaw]

I think it is because Becky and Charlotte are best friends again now and to show that they have imaginary tea time together

[Emperor Smeat]

According to the Observer, WWE's newest plan for keeping crowds to stay for 205 Live is for AJ Styles to wrestle as little as possible on Smackdown and instead be the focal point for the post-show stuff till 205 Live starts.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Working every night.

The man is definitely certifiable...he's jumped off the top of the titantron twice at PPVs, once vs. Big Show, once against Kane, both Last Man Standing matches, IIRC. Also, I believe @ KotR 2001, Kurt had to do the spot through the glass to him not once but twice because it didn't break the first time.

That's just listing a few. I seriously wonder at times how he hasn't been dead for like a decade due to all the insane shit he's done.

Has there ever been an explanation on why they don't just do 205 Live first, and THEN Smackdown?

[#1-norm-fan]

I've always wondered that myself. It's like if they filmed Velocity AFTER Smackdown back in the day. Seriously, it's pretty much the same thing.

[#1-norm-fan]

In fact, why isn't 205 Live filmed before RAW?

Currently, they do a Raw B-Show, then Raw.

Then the next night, they do Smackdown then another Raw B-Show

Wouldn't it make more sense for 205 Live to take place before Raw so that the 205 Live crew can stick with the actual brand they're on and then Smackdown can have a B-show instead of giving 2 B-shows to the 3 hour show and none to the 2 hour show? lol

[Lock Jaw]

Now you're just being ridiculous.

[Emperor Smeat]

Has there ever been an explanation on why they don't just do 205 Live first, and THEN Smackdown?

Not that I know of although I'd assume its probably related to them not wanting to start an hour or so earlier to set up the stage and prep work. Would be even earlier whenever they are on the West Coast.

Very likely they'd still be dealing with crowd issues except more in a PPV pre-show type of way.

Main Event is taped before RAW although before Superstars got canned it was taped before Smackdown while Superstars was taped before RAW.

Also because WWE wanted the show to be live for its namesake, 205 Live had to be done after Smackdown.

[#1-norm-fan]

It airs on their own network though. They can air it live at any time they want. Why does it need to be after Smackdown?

[Evil Vito]

205 Taped

[Evil Vito]

Still angers me that Raw gets Main Event AND 205 Live tbh. SmackDown is the one that needs the B-show.

[#1-norm-fan]

Now you're just being ridiculous.

Order and logic ARE considered ridiculous in WWE world now that you mention it.

Having a brand with a 2 hour A-show and no B-show and another brand with a 3 hour A-show show and 2 B-shows, one of which airs live AFTER the brand that it's not actually part of is such a WWE-esque clusterfuck.

[Evil Vito]

The cruiserweight division going to SmackDown gives you a chance to integrate the cruiserweight into SmackDown storylines when needed (Neville vs. Styles please) and might give people more incentive to stick around to watch the show since the cruisers are a part of the show you're paying to see.

Having a Raw B-show taped after SmackDown makes little to no sense.

Also cuts down on a travel day for the cruisers, which is cool because right now they're the only ones on the main roster getting fucked out of a day off.

[Cool King]

I think it is because Becky and Charlotte are best friends again now and to show that they have imaginary tea time together

Is them being in tag team matches together and smiling and hanging out backstage not enough to show that they're best friends?

[Cool King]

Meh, whatever. It's just silly.

[KIRA]

Think being the son of the boss he felt like he had to prove himself he's done more than enough to garner respect but devil may care seems to have just become his style

[Mr. Nerfect]

205 Live being done before RAW and SDL having a little show for Luke Harper to crush jobbers would be so much better. But whatever.

[Mr. Nerfect]

How has Shinsuke Nakamura been doing? I was just thinking that since this Jinder Mahal title reign is dying a death, they should probably switch the title at Hell in a Cell. But it just doesn't feel "big enough." Maybe have Mahal vs. Nakamura close out the show with the big feel intros, and then have the match thrown out when The Singh Brothers attack Nakamura. Randy Orton makes the save for Nakamura, but then Daniel Bryan announces that they are going to lower the cell and they are going to have a Triple Threat for the WWE Title.

Nakamura can win it in a cage with some star power there. If you have AJ Styles lose the US Title to Corbin, then you can free him up to potentially challenge Nakamura. Do a Zayn vs. Nakamura title match on SDL one week and have a MOTY candidate on television and get the reign off to a strong start.

If you want Mahal to be the WWE Champion for the Indian tour, which I think is dumb, but whatever, you can always move the belt back to Mahal for that and have Nakamura win it back when they're in the US. Or move onto whatever is next. Fairly certain they will be doing Nakamura vs. Styles at WrestleMania. Why not have it be for the WWE Title and have one of them win the Royal Rumble and challenge the other? Reigns vs. Brock can be set up other ways and is probably going to headline anyway.

[#1-norm-fan]

From what I was seeing, it seemed like Nakamura was actually being handled relatively well for a month or two. Then they had him cut the generic face promo and jobbed him to Mahal via the paint-by-numbers distraction finish and now he's just another guy. Could care less if he wins the title now.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's a shame. SmackDown could be so good so fast with just a few tweaks.

[#1-norm-fan]

I was thinking "What are the odds Khali comes in the rips to door off the cell to help Jinder retain?" And then I realized that match isn't in the cell.

Kayfabe-wise, if I were Nakamura I'd be pissed. You lose your title match via outside interference by these two guys who are always helping Mahal retain and the next PPV is fucking Hell in a Cell. You're clearly gonna get your one-on-one fair shake at the title now. Then Daniel Bryan's like "Nah. We're gonna put this other match that doesn't really have a logical reason to be inside the cell in it instead and just leave you to fend for yourself again. Also, we're gonna make that other Hell in a Cell match 'falls count anywhere' just to make the fact that it gets the cell gimmick more puzzling.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I agree, and I do think that the WWE doesn't put a kayfabe hat on enough. Why is Randy Orton just cool with The Singhs always costing him matches and shit? Shouldn't he have received some sort of cage match stipulation?

Given that they're not above whoring out their own concepts, it would not surprise me if the cell is lowered at some point during the match as a "bonus." I mean, it also wouldn't surprise me if Mahal just beats Nakamura the same way and it's just the #2 match on the card.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I just read that Nakamura apparently has the best win-loss percentage in WWE history. Promote that fact. Do hype videos showing all the great superstars of the past, and how Nakamura is still a cut above them. You don't need to clarify "this only counts Nakamura's main roster run." You don't need to qualify that this only applies to the WWE. Just point out that he's a cut above the rest. Have him win the WWE Title and then protect him. No losses in tag matches, no silly non-title bouts -- he's the champion and he's the most winningest guy they've ever had. Star. Try it. Hollywood is not going to steal Nakamura.

When The Rock comes to endorse Paige, have him interact with Nakamura at some point and have The Rock "feel the electricity." Tease Nakamura vs. Rock as a dream match and have them fight off some heels together. Fucking try something to make this guy a star. Why did you spend money on him just to get "Good Funaki?" Fuck.

[Lock Jaw]

Him having the best win-loss means jack poop because his career is what..... a couple months old to the majority of viewers? Even if they promote his NXT stuff more, it still isn't that long.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Him having the best win-loss means jack poop because his career is what..... a couple months old to the majority of viewers? Even if they promote his NXT stuff more, it still isn't that long.

You sell it. Play to your strengths. Of course Nakamura has only been on the main roster for a few months. But you don't need to point that out. Why would you? Just point out that the dude has the best win-loss percentage in WWE history, is a 15-year veteran and is a record setting and undefeated Intercontinental Champion. All those things are simultaneously true statements. Tell a story where you can. Because viewers that are still watching are not going to be chased away by this, but it might help build his cache with newer viewers.

For example, when JR used to tell me that Billy Gunn was pound-for-pound the toughest man in the WWF, it had an effect on me. It earmarked the guy for emotional investment. Now imagine doing that with someone good.

And put Christian on commentary too.

[Mr. Nerfect]

WWE have a huge opportunity here. Time to ship out Mahal. Drew McIntyre is going to need back-up with Adam Cole in NXT, eventually. 3MB reunion down there; but a more serious babyface run for them. Heath Slater and Adam Cole can have a bay-bay off.

[#1-norm-fan]

I just read that Nakamura apparently has the best win-loss percentage in WWE history.

El Torito is #2. Not even kidding.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, you certainly don't mention that one.

[Mr. Nerfect]

WWE really started to dip when El Torito left though. Just saying.

[Lock Jaw]

You sell it. Play to your strengths. Of course Nakamura has only been on the main roster for a few months. But you don't need to point that out. Why would you?

I know the fans are dumb, but even they are bound to remember that he hasn't been around that long.

By all means play up his career in Japan, though.

Just don't pretend that his WWE win percentage means anything. Certainly present him as dominant, but no need to mention the percentage.

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, I think the best they could do is play up the fact that he was something special elsewhere. WWE fans have basically known him as the guy who got hyped up and got the "he beat Cena" rub (that everyone and their grandma has gotten over recent years) just to build to him losing in 10 minutes to Jinder Mahal via distraction. He's nothing special in their eyes. Tons of guys have done what he's done early in their career only to end up as midcard fodder. Hyping him as something special based on his WWE merits just insults people's intelligence.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Has there ever been an explanation on why they don't just do 205 Live first, and THEN Smackdown?

They should but maybe they don't want people watching at 7pm?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

El Torito is #2. Not even kidding.

Josh Matthews is 2-0.

Is there a minimum match attempts for the list?

El Torito had a win percentage of 91.78%

[#1-norm-fan]

Yes. If there wasn't a minimum match attempts, there would be a lot of people who are undefeated and technically have the best winning percentage in WWE history. Including Lawrence Taylor and Jimmy Kimmel's cousin Sal.

And obviously when someone mentions "WWE history" they tend not to mean only since the name was changed to "WWE". So Josh Matthews is not 2-0.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Why is the cruiserweight show called 205 anyway? Like 205 lbs?

Because WWE define "Cruiserweight" as 205 lbs./93 kg or less.

[Cool King]
