The Official Smackdown LIVE 11/28/17 Thread - Featuring The Money

[Lock Jaw]

Here Comes The Money

I guess

[Lock Jaw]

Here comes The Yes

[Savio]

Yay management politics.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Camera shaking from the crowd noise. Too bad his brain don't work too well or he'd be the WWE Undisputed Champ.

[Lock Jaw]

They are going to let Daniel Bryan wrestle, and his big comeback match will be vs SHANE MCMAHON at Wrestlemania. This is where it starts.

[Emperor Smeat]

Going to laugh if they do the exact same routine with Ruby's team for tonight's 3v3 match.

[ClockShot]

Had to let my dog outside. What I miss?

[Lock Jaw]

Going to laugh if they do the exact same routine with Ruby's team for tonight's 3v3 match.

And then Ruby Riot claims to have started the women's revolution

[Savio]

Had to let my dog outside. What I miss?

Nothing, SDL trying to become the B-Show.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Hmmm...K.O. v. The RKO (Outta Nowhere), Sami barred from ringside, no DQ's...

Daniel Bryan heel turn tonight?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Going to laugh if they do the exact same routine with Ruby's team for tonight's 3v3 match.

That's what I fear they're going to do...:-\:(

[mike adamle]

They are going to let Daniel Bryan wrestle, and his big comeback match will be vs SHANE MCMAHON at Wrestlemania. This is where it starts.

I would be so hyped for this.

[KIRA]

Who are you to doubt the American Dragon?

[Lock Jaw]

....... Big E serving The Usos pancakes from his tights........

[KIRA]

....... Big E serving The Usos pancakes from his tights........

At least you know theve been sufficiently warmed

[DAMN iNATOR]

I'd laugh so much if a SDL picture-in-picture match ever ends during the break.

[slik]

Just tuning in - what did I miss?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Just tuning in - what did I miss?

Not much aside from Shane and DB yakking and Shane barring Sami from and making KO v. RKO no DQ.

[KIRA]

The Usos seem to be less heels and more cocky faces lately

[slik]

TY DAMN mAN!

[slik]

Is this New Day vs Not American Alpha match the first bout?

[Emperor Smeat]

Usos-Gable/Benjamin match was really good.

[ClockShot]

I really hope the new Smackdown divas go in the better direction than Paige's crew on Raw.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Is this New Day vs Not American Alpha match the first bout?

Yes.

[Lock Jaw]

Oh no

Shelton Benjamin pinned....

Think I had him for that Survivor game.....

[KIRA]

I think Saxton is actually eating his

[Lock Jaw]

I really hope the new Smackdown divas go in the better direction than Paige's crew on Raw.

Prob the same direction

[ClockShot]

HAMMER TIME................NEXT!

[Lock Jaw]

"After tonight, no one will remember their names"

Prob true regardless of the result

[Lock Jaw]

Uggghhhh Vistaprint commercial

[KIRA]

having 3 people stand side by side talking to each other looks so fucking awkward

[Emperor Smeat]

I really hope the new Smackdown divas go in the better direction than Paige's crew on Raw.
First step would be to not have a terrible stable name.

Their potential is already better because Smackdown isn't as top heavy for stars like on RAW. WWE just has to avoid doing similar things with both groups and let each feel different.

[ClockShot]

Hype Bros. again?

[ClockShot]

Short and sweet.

[KIRA]

Watching Mojo get destroyed every week feels good

[ClockShot]

And poof. There's Renee's replacement...........again.

[ClockShot]

IT'S OVER! IT'S FINALLY OVER!

[Emperor Smeat]

For a team called the Bludgeon Bros, they don't really smash opponents as much as they should.

Turning Mojo heel instead of Ryder is a good decision.

[KIRA]

Harper needs to bring back The Yeah Yeah Yeahs that was a good band

[ClockShot]

THEY AIN'T HYPE............no more.

[slik]

Mojo has turned heel!

[Lock Jaw]

Serious Mojo Rawley could be money

[slik]

He will still probably be really annoying tbh

[KIRA]

I might be on the road to gaining respect for this goofy jackass

[Evil Vito]

I was kinda hoping the Hype Bros would both turn heel. Their gimmick really would've worked best just being arrogant dicks, and both guys needed a turn to freshen up.

But if they were only going to turn one of them, Mojo was the right call because it's their best chance of getting something out of him. Ryder is essentially an enhancement guy so using the heel turn on him would've been a bit of a waste.

[Savio]

Being banned from ringside never stopped KO's ex best friend.

[slik]

Leesa Mattress

[slik]

Tom Phillips is horrified by Mojo's heinous actions

[Emperor Smeat]

Serious Mojo Rawley could be money

First step will be giving a vicious promo against caffeine and being hyped up all the time.

[KIRA]

Wow no obnoxious yelling

[KIRA]

Its frustrating seeing Bobby Roode as a face

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah

uh

uh

uh

[Lock Jaw]

Jinder Mahal's theme pretty much the only good thing about him

[KIRA]

Jinders abs are amazing but that checker pattern suit hurts to look at

[slik]

His entrance is cool

[Emperor Smeat]

Its frustrating seeing Bobby Roode as a face

If I remember, he started off in a similar way on NXT but the big difference was his arrogance was always around in some form as a face. Usually whenever he'd give a promo and start to act a bit cocky in tone.

For some reason, WWE didn't carry that part over for his Smackdown run.

[KIRA]

Just think Jinder made it to the main event and stayed there but Bray continues to flounder

Johnny fucking Curtis is a lower midcarder but Jinder Mahal was a week away from facing Brock Lesnar on a major PPV

[rez]

watching cbb

1. has FF been on yet?
2. show recap so far, plz

[KIRA]

If had his head bent the other way he'd be dead

[Emperor Smeat]

watching cbb

1. has FF been on yet?
2. show recap so far, plz

No.

Talkie segment with Bryan-Shane about last week and tonight's main event match being No DQ.
New Day beat Gable/Benjamin in a really good tag match.
Bludgeon Brothers beat Hype Bros causing Mojo to lose his hype and attack Ryder.

[Lock Jaw]

I hope Clash is the only shot Jinder gets at the title and he loses, and they finally get him out of the main even scene.

AJ is champ, good.... but it still doesn't feel like we are "out of the woods" yet until Jinder moves back down.....

[Heisenberg]

Had to take a break and watch that song from Karate Kid 2 brother

[KIRA]

watching cbb

1. has FF been on yet?
2. show recap so far, plz

Mojo Turned heel after he and Ryder got destroyed by the Bludgeon Bros

[Emperor Smeat]

Riot Squad is a much better stable name than what Paige's group got.

[Lock Jaw]

Liv Morgan def looks v dangerous

[KIRA]

Riot Act wouldve been better

Liv Morgan never needs to talk again

[KIRA]

I wonder how much The New Day pulls down in merch sales

[rez]

already sounds better than RAW was...which, of course!

thanks

[Lock Jaw]

Whoa, did Ruby Riot always have two Ts in Riott?

[Evil Vito]

Randomly added an extra T to "Riot"

[DAMN iNATOR]

OOH HOW EDGY, Ruby got an extra 'T' added to her last name...😒😒😒

[DAMN iNATOR]

Whoa, did Ruby Riot always have two Ts in Riott?

No.

[Lock Jaw]

I guess they have to make sure that people don't confuse Riott the rassler with Riot, the unruly act of rebellion.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at the awkward landing by Naomi. Logan and Morgan completely botched that toss to the barricade.

[Savio]

Cash in tonight?

[Lock Jaw]

Ruby Riot's finisher is not good

What purpose does the setup have..... just kick them in the head.....

[Lock Jaw]

Morse code mssage being sent while that braud was talking

[Savio]

Naomi kayfabe injured, announcers barely care.

[Lock Jaw]

Ruby Riott's theme song too "upbeat" and "peppy" now

[DAMN iNATOR]

I guess they have to make sure that people don't confuse Riott the rassler with Riot, the unruly act of rebellion.

Which is a perfect reason to name their stable The Riott Squad! :shifty:

[slik]

Riot Squad already better than Absolution.

[slik]

The landing...

Would be funny if they were released tomorrow and that was legit the last time we ever saw them

[Savio]

Daniel, AJ, and Samoa Joe will save KO then the 5 of them will start a stable called Rasslers Of Honor

[Evil Vito]

Orton looks so weird with hair on top of his head and no facial hair.

Rather see this match in the little box than the others.

Oh my...

[Triple A]

weak ass chair shots

[Emperor Smeat]

Nice of Sami to help out his friend during this match. Didn't break the banning rule since he avoided the ring area.

[Triple A]

that doesn't look like alexa bliss,,

[rez]

that doesn't look like alexa bliss,,

agree and there's gotta be a shake weight up in there or a fan

[Triple A]

"The Riott Squad" all have really unnatural mic skills unfortunately... but also the writing for their backstage promo was horrible... corny ass lines

<iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h9jcimYGPSo" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Lock Jaw]

Liv Morgan hot braud, tho

[Tom Guycott]

....... Big E serving The Usos pancakes from his tights........

I think the best part about this isn't merely's Corey Graves' disgust at this, but the IMMEDIATE concern was of the "subpar syrup" that Big E presented, then about the location that the flapjacks were produced.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Mojo looked incredible in the turn. I'm into this.

[Big Vic]

decent show. I hope there is no Bryan vs Shane power stuggle storyline for the future.

[Cool King]

• I'm still liking The Bludgeon Brothers.

It's also about time The Hype Bros. disbanded. Mojo looked great though and I'm intrested in seeing what a heel Mojo is like.

As for Ryder. I really don't see a future after his angle with Mojo is over. His role is now to make Mojo look good.

After that, I really wouldn't be surprised if he was released some time later.

• Liv Morgan reminds me of a slightly ditzy Kelly Kelly but with more wrestling ability. Ruby Riott makes me think you would get her if you crossed Serena or CM Punk with Paige.

It's still very early days for me to form any kind of opinion on them though, but yeah, a week in and I'm not really feeling any of the female trios.

That promo was brutal

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently a trademark issue is why Ruby Riott now has an extra "t" in her name. Whoever opposed the trademark has enough evidence or a stronger standing that the WWE isn't going to bother to fight back.

Riott Squad was a bad promo, but the match was not bad at all.
