[rez]

here we go!

[DAMN iNATOR]

SAMI SOLD OUT!

[DAMN iNATOR]

Nice...bury your entire brand's tag division in one fell swoop...:roll::nono:

[rez]

Poor Corey Graves

Sunday - Detroit
Monday - Indy
Tuesday - Grand Rapids

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess Hype Bros not a fan of Usos and New Day wanting to end beating up each other.

[KIRA]

Technically Kofi didnt feel a damn thing

[KIRA]

They literally are the tag division at this point

[KIRA]

REALLY lol

[slik]

Just tuning in and Breezango is on my TV, sweet

[rez]

I like Fashion Files TOO!

[KIRA]

Usos got damn good on the mic

[KIRA]

There my boys Fashion POLICE!

[rez]

Shane's dead so Daniel is finally gonna have to do his job

[slik]

Harper and Rowan should be a tag team again

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Bryan turning heel on the tag division

[KIRA]

HAHa

[Emperor Smeat]

Harper and Rowan should be a tag team again

Add in the Singh Bros and Smackdown has a pretty great and deep tag division unlike RAW.

[slik]

SD thread really quiet r/n...figured it would be 'poppin' b/c of HIAC aftermath

[KIRA]

DB having a bad night

[rez]

*Your Site Name* still on the Halloween theme.

[DAMN iNATOR]

That's why I miss Teddy. Now THAT man was a SD! G.M. who could book a tag match with style, playas! HOLLA HOLLS HOLLA!

[ClockShot]

Didn't miss much I see.

[DAMN iNATOR]

*Your Site Name* still on the Halloween theme.

Been that way since it was introduced as an annual limited time theme years ago, just gotta deal with it I guess.

[Savio]

I only want Fashion police to win this match if they win the titles

[KIRA]

They all need to gang up on Mojo Riley because y'know...I hate him.

[ClockShot]

The right team won.

[Emperor Smeat]

Tag contenders match was pretty good.

[GD]

Psych :love:

[KIRA]

Im disappointed its not Fabreeze but I'm good with Worlds Greatest Alpha Team

[Savio]

Really worried Sami will have a piss poor explanation.

[KIRA]

Really worried Sami will have a piss poor explanation.

Its gonna be something like "We may fight we may really come after each other but I wont let anybody hurt my BFF"

[ClockShot]

I WILL KILL YOU!

[KIRA]

She needs to customize that belt put a kitty on it.

[KIRA]

"Hows your dad handling the shakes Nattie?"

[ClockShot]

She needs to customize that belt put a kitty on it.

NO!

We already went though this problem with Naomi and her glow belt.

Leave it alone.

[KIRA]

NO!

We already went though this problem with Naomi and her glow belt.

Leave it alone.

[rez]

Carmella must be on GLOW S2

[Savio]

Hope Carmella doesn't always job and then win the title out of the blue.

[KIRA]

aaaaannd she jobs

[Emperor Smeat]

Hope Carmella doesn't always job and then win the title out of the blue.

At least it would be better than what happened with Corbin.

[KIRA]

I like Owens shirt

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

My god... a heel getting heel heat :o

[ClockShot]

"People let me tell you 'bout my best friend, his name is Sami Zayn and finally turned heel."

[rez]

what the shit

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Sammy needs to change his music.

[Emperor Smeat]

Good sermon by Pastor Owens tonight.

[ClockShot]

Wanted Sami to come out dressed as an angel.

[Emperor Smeat]

Owens probably fighting the urge to suddenly powerbomb Sami right now.

[KIRA]

They really want the crowd to boo Zayn let them know he's a practicing Muslim

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Sammy tanking this heel turn big time.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Can hear a fucking pin drop. Nobody gives A SHIT. Feel bad for him.

[ClockShot]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I was expecting the typical turned heel promo everyone does.

What is this?

[KIRA]

Zayn sounds a bit like Billy Mays

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

So much exposition. Could literally cut this promo by 75%.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

FINALLY GOT THERE. Fuck. Now it's getting okay but the first 85 minutes of the promo killed the crowd.

[KIRA]

He's been ma belly warmer

[Savio]

I think people were quiet because they wanted to hear what he was saying.... but not a great reason to save KO.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Shouldn't need to spend the bulk of a promo explaining your actions. Exposition is like a number 1 no-no for good t.v. The build should have told the story but instead they just lazily did a "shock" heel turn.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Kevin Owens cut a promo... Sami Zayn recited the scripted reason of why he turned on Shane.

[KIRA]

Watch them wait til theyve killed ALL of Nakamuras HYPE and momentum to give him the belt when no one gives a shit I'll care but general audience wont

[Sepholio]

Dastardly Dale Jewstead hating on the Muslim miracle, Sami Zayn. Shocker.

[Triple A]

Knowing that there's going to be a commercial during every match conditions me to not care or pay attention to the beginning (and tbh most) of a match at all due to knowing that absolutely nothing important or interesting is going to happen

[Emperor Smeat]

Poor Rusev, just wants Orton to finally celebrate a Happy Rusev Day but he still refuses.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Dastardly Dale Jewstead hating on the Muslim miracle, Sami Zayn. Shocker.

tbh I like Sami Zayn, especially in the ring. Just thought that was a brutal promo.

[Triple A]

Shouldn't need to spend the bulk of a promo explaining your actions. Exposition is like a number 1 no-no for good t.v. The build should have told the story but instead they just lazily did a "shock" heel turn.

That's not rlly his fault though... And also people were waiting for him to "explain his actions" in this promo, so I think it was fine (by "WWE writing standards") imo

[Triple A]

Also shock heel turns are cool...

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

yeah WWE writing standards are prty shit.

[Sepholio]

I dunno, it was kinda weird. Sami started off saying that it all started with KO powerbombing him a couple weeks ago. Then he explained how it kinda all started back when Shane McMahon said he cared, but didn't, and then blew him off when he tried to give him advice, before claiming it was just spur of the moment because he didn't want KO to die.

The promo really was all over the place.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

IMO you need to be able to see the seeds of any heel turn for it to make sense. Shock heel turns just don't really do it for me.

[GD]

They're baaaaaack! :yes:

[RP]

This is fucking horrible lol.

[Savio]

:-\

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the Bludgeon Bros name.

[RP]

I have a better idea. How about we scrap the Sister Abigail and Bludgeon Brothers and just get the Wyatt gang back together?

I think thats a much better idea.

[KIRA]

Rowan has a deep fuckin voice

[Triple A]

Weren't they feuding with each other before they dropped off the face of the earth

Actually whatever... could have worked things out off camera I guess

[KIRA]

Last chance for Dolph to leave with some kind of dignity

[Savio]

No WWE Champ sighting yet...... always have to remind myself who the champ is.

[KIRA]

Weren't they feuding with each other before they dropped off the face of the earth

Actually whatever... could have worked things out off camera I guess

YES:nono:

[RP]

I thought Dolph was about to come out to Jinder's entrance.

[Savio]

IMO it'd be much better if his music didn't come on at all.

[KIRA]

I like no music Dolph

[Savio]

Did they photoshop out his crack?

[#1-norm-fan]

IMO you need to be able to see the seeds of any heel turn for it to make sense. Shock heel turns just don't really do it for me.

Batista snapping an murdering Rey Mysterio was a pretty awesome shock heel turn. When he shook his hand and then, while still smiling, was like "I'm gonna rip your head off". Amazing.

[KIRA]

Dolph is reminding me of Trump for some reason while hes talking

[KIRA]

Batista snapping an murdering Rey Mysterio was a pretty awesome shock heel turn. When he shook his hand and then, while still smiling, was like "I'm gonna rip your head off". Amazing.

The acting chops to play Drax the destroyer were inside him all along

[Emperor Smeat]

Ziggler should just walk around the ring and then leave

[GD]

Dolph Ziggler's hair :rofl:

[Sepholio]

Who was it that said Rowan and Harper need to get back together last night? Whoever it was is a damn witch.

....Wait....damn witch.....Bray from last night talking about season of the witch....Sister Abigail....Rowan and Harper back together the next night with a cryptic Wyatt Family-esque promo....ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Batista snapping an murdering Rey Mysterio was a pretty awesome shock heel turn. When he shook his hand and then, while still smiling, was like "I'm gonna rip your head off". Amazing.

I feel like the seeds were planted for that one, or at the very least most people saw it coming? I don't remember though I likely wasn't watching at the time, just keeping up with the results.

[KIRA]

LOL Corbin rubbing his title win in random peoples faces

[Savio]

So I'm guessing no Jinder tonight... Unless he interrupts this match for absolutely no reason.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wish they'd stop having ring announcers pause during match introductions so crowds couldn't scream "ONE FALL!". I swear, it's like this generation's "WHAT?!" chant, only somehow even more annoying.

[rez]

I turned the show off after that Sami promo...and it doesn't sound like I've missed much.

[KIRA]

Wish they'd stop having ring announcers pause during match introductions so crowds couldn't scream "ONE FALL!". I swear, it's like this generation's "WHAT?!" chant, only somehow even more annoying.

I don't think thats possible they can only do the "one fall " thing under cirtain circumstances the WHAT chant found its way into EVERYTHING

[slik]

damn was so tired I fell asleep....in time for the main-event

[Savio]

If I did that table spot I would try to hit Byron every time

[Savio]

JK that would be bullying

[Savio]

AJ is such a good wrestler

[Triple A]

not a bad promo by Corbin... I like when wrestlers yell... wish more people would yell

[Emperor Smeat]

US title match was good. Corbin winning clean is a bit of a surprise but on the bright side, Styles is freed up to go after the WWE title now.

[Evil Vito]

I cannot wait to see where KO and Zayn go from here. That was fun.

I'm also thrilled to see Harper and Rowan back together. Yeah it's daft that they can't find anything for Harper to do on his own so they need to resort to pairing him with Rowan again, but at least this could get the man back on TV.

[Evil Vito]

Oh and I bet with them only introducing themselves as "Harper" and "Rowan", I'm gonna guess they're the latest members of the one name club.

[#1-norm-fan]

US title match was good. Corbin winning clean is a bit of a surprise but on the bright side, Styles is freed up to go after the WWE title now.

Corbin beat AJ Styles clean!?!?! lol

[Lock Jaw]

- Really enjoyed the opening tag team segment. Usos hot fire right now.

- Sami Zayn did alright explaining himself. Seems like he might not be the best at playing a heel. Maybe because his face character seemed so "genuine" and "humble" that anything else is bound to feel forced and fake in comparison. Also, why would anyone trust Kevin Owens calling them his best friend ever again?

- Harper and Rowan back together again...... really too bad they couldn't continue Luke Harper's singles push and momentum.... he had so damn much of it.....

- Baron Corbin wins clean.... cool. Was glad AJ didn't kick out of End of Days..... one of the only really strong finishers left.....

[Vastardikai]

Is it just me, or did Rowan not look comfortable doing that promo?

[Triple A]

Watching the tag match on YouTube... did Shelton Benjamin always do the Jason Jordan thing where he "intensely screams" or are WWE just copying that from Jason Jordan

[Triple A]

Carmella really hot

[Lock Jaw]

Thinking about it more and really can't believe what they did with Luke Harper...... split from Wyatt and was getting red hot..... had a couple main event spotlights on Smackdown, and people seemed to be getting into him......

I thought surely he was poised to be WWE Champion soon.....

But then they just take him off of TV for some reason and they push Jinder Mahal to the moon instead.

[Triple A]

Always thought Luke Harper was mad boring but that might be because I associate him with Wyatt

[Triple A]

Feels extremely unlikely to me that Luke Harper would be popular with the average WWE fan...

Still don't understand why internet people like him so much either tbh

[Lock Jaw]

Always thought Luke Harper was mad boring but that might be because I associate him with Wyatt

Yeah, which is why it was good that he was finally going off and doing his own thing........

[Lock Jaw]

Feels extremely unlikely to me that Luke Harper would be popular with the average WWE fan...

Still don't understand why internet people like him so much either tbh

The average WWE fan was starting to really get into him when they took him off of TV........

[Emperor Smeat]

Watching 205 Live and still don't get how anyone in the WWE thought TJP would be a good name for Perkins. At least with RVD, it was both catchy as a phrase and didn't actually lose his full name as a wrestler.

[#1-norm-fan]

I mean... I guess it's better than Jinder beating Nakamura clean since they spent some time establishing Styles before he lost clean to someone way below him. But I still get the feeling WWE is just focused on trolling its fans rather than building credibility at this point.

Also, lol if AJ moves to the WWE Title scene now. Why would he fail up?

It's like earlier this year when they had a 6 man match to decide the #1 contender for the US Title. Styles won and then all the guys who lost had a match the next week to decide the #1 contender for the WWE title. lol

[Emperor Smeat]

Feels extremely unlikely to me that Luke Harper would be popular with the average WWE fan...

Still don't understand why internet people like him so much either tbh

He was popular in the indies and can be pretty good in the ring when WWE actually remembers about him.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Ali bailing on the Lucha taunts since he realized how dumb it is.

[Tom Guycott]

Oh and I bet with them only introducing themselves as "Harper" and "Rowan", I'm gonna guess they're the latest members of the one name club.

Instantly thought of Hammer Bros. Wanted to post the song from SMB3 and quip about it being their new theme, but apparently looks like some sort of meme happened where people mixed it with that garbage Souja Boy song. I wouldn't subject any of you to that.

[Big Vic]

Really wish they drop the Hammers before they debut.
