Ruby hits the end of all of her words really hard

[KIRA]

Who was the other bleach blonde failure

[Savio]

Ummmm Ziggler?

[KIRA]

Ummmm Ziggler?

I was guessing Roman Reigns

[Evil Vito]

Oh goodie, it's not like I've already seen enough Orton/Jinder matches to last a lifetime or anything.

[KIRA]

Orton has taken Dolphs place as the person I want to see the least

[Savio]

The facts can't mention he was a former WWE champ?

[KIRA]

The facts can't mention he was a former WWE champ?

Right it should be written in bright letters with a strobe light effect around it

[Savio]

It's like the WWE wants to forget.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ruby hits the end of all of her words really hard
Her and Corbin have the oddest promo deliveries on the main roster.

[Savio]

Ziggler Sprint commercial count:

1

[slik]

Why does that Singh brother always land on his neck

[Emperor Smeat]

Kind of funny the amount of times Jinder has beaten Orton in recent months.

[Emperor Smeat]

Pretty cool hype package for the Usos-New Day feud. Tag division still the best thing about Smackdown in months.

[slik]

Tag division the ONLY thing 'on-fire' on SD tbh

[Lock Jaw]

Lock Jaw is here. Started Smackdown half an hour late, but it was good because I could fast forward through the Orton/Mahal match.

[Droford]

Nakamura Day

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the end of the Rusev/Nakamura segment.

[KIRA]

Lock Jaw is here. Started Smackdown half an hour late, but it was good because I could fast forward through the Orton/Mahal match.

That void you feel inside you thats what happens when you skip a Jinder match

[Savio]

Nakamura should sing all of his promos.

[KIRA]

Did Nakamura just.....wow

[slik]

Rusev vs Naka should be good

[Lock Jaw]

:heart: Becky Lynch

[KIRA]

Been telling people forever Nakamura has mic skills his English just needs work

[Lock Jaw]

No reaction for Carmella anymore.

[Savio]

Pointless captions on that promo.

[Lock Jaw]

oh no these graphics

[Savio]

Damn, punch to the ovaries

[Black Widow]

Been telling people forever Nakamura has mic skills his English just needs workMaybe he should of put time into that before getting to WWE.

[slik]

just realized the big dog in spanish is el perro grande

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if WWE regrets making Carmella the 1st Women's MitB winner. They've done nothing of note with her since dropping Ellsworth and the only reason she was becoming successful was due to the heat Ellsworth generated for the pair.

[KIRA]

Maybe he should of put time into that before getting to WWE.

If someone like you doesn't like it it's all the more reason to love it.

[Droford]

ITS WORLD WAR 3...oh wait

[Savio]

Word Smeat #BringBackEllsworth

[Lock Jaw]

Natalya's transition into a cat going well

[KIRA]

Wonder if WWE regrets making Carmella the 1st Women's MitB winner. They've done nothing of note with her since dropping Ellsworth and the only reason she was becoming successful was due to the heat Ellsworth generated for the pair.

Doesn't she only have so many months left to cash in?

[Emperor Smeat]

Was half paying attention but did they mention if the winner of the 50-man Rumble gets anything special as a gift?

Dumb to give it Royal Rumble status and not have it be worth a future title shot or something as good in the end.

[Lock Jaw]

Isn't Jedda the planet in Rogue One

[Black Widow]

If someone like you doesn't like it it's all the more reason to love it.Yeah nevermind the fact he knows majority of WWE's audience speaks English so his own fault for not putting effort in.

[KIRA]

Natalya's transition into a cat going well

I would ask as she transitions from woman to cat that you refer to her as a cat.

[Savio]

Was half paying attention but did they mention if the winner of the 50-man Rumble gets anything special as a gift?


Sexual favors from all of the losers.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at showing some random guy slipping outside.

Wonder if that was the legendary wrestler Owen White.

[KIRA]

Yeah nevermind the fact he knows majority of WWE's audience speaks English so his own fault for not putting effort in.

And yet it hasn't hurt the fact that people like him

[slik]

The winner gets nothing...I wonder if they'll air the Rumble match on the Network since they keep talking about it

[Savio]

:lol: at showing some random guy slipping outside.

Wonder if that was the legendary wrestler Owen White.

Pretty sure it was, congrats to Owen White making his television debut!

[Black Widow]

Finally somebody worth something.

[Black Widow]

And yet it hasn't hurt the fact that people like himPeople like his entrance and if he was given a different one nobody would care.

[Emperor Smeat]

Doesn't she only have so many months left to cash in?

She has until June although if the rumored Smackdown women's title match at Mania happens, WWE ends up in a really tough situation. Doubt they'd want the 1st women's MitB holder to fail cashing in but at the same time, if she wins the title its going to come at the worst time possible.

[Lock Jaw]

1 hour in and we haven't had an awkward Shane/Bryan arguement

[KIRA]

Hey Black Widow you don't like Rusev?

[Lock Jaw]

oh no onscreen graphics

[KIRA]

People like his entrance and if he was given a different one nobody would care.

He was over way before people started singing his theme song.

Just him being in the WWE made wrestling nerds happy.

Now for Bobby Roode I'd say you were right.

[Savio]

"courtesy of WWE.COM"

[Lock Jaw]

Like, even though they are dumb on the selfie videos, I can at least "get" that they were going for a "style"..... (a bad one)

But now they are adding to backstage segments and promo recaps? That's just going too far.....

[KIRA]

oh no onscreen graphics

Don't jinx this please

[Black Widow]

Hey Black Widow you don't like Rusev?When he's being funny but he's lame when being serious.

[Savio]

I didn't mind it on the mixed match challenge videos but it shouldn't be anywhere else.

[Lock Jaw]

Don't jinx this please

?

They were already there...... that's why I said oh no.......

[Savio]

Record skip....pause......Music plays for 10 seconds.

[KIRA]

?

They were already there...... that's why I said oh no.......

Oh ok I missed it (lucky me)

[Savio]

?

They were already there...... that's why I said oh no.......

He watches it with some sort of delay.

Ziggler's promo's sound good but they don't make any sense.

[KIRA]

Yea I saw it now...fuck this company

[Black Widow]

That's Hysterical!!

Dolph isn't the best thing about anything

[Emperor Smeat]

I didn't mind it on the mixed match challenge videos but it shouldn't be anywhere else.

Agree. It fits well with the selfies style done for the tournament than with the main shows. Also comes off as being normal since people like using filters and stuff with their videos on social media.

On the main shows, it just comes off as cheap and WWE overdoing things just because it felt unique the first time.

[KIRA]

There was a time when AJ facing Ziggler would have been a dream come true
what the hell happened?

[KIRA]

I'm glad Dolph stopped wearing those tights with the stupid fucking flag on them :shifty:

[Savio]

Zigglers booking happened.

[Savio]

He still has a flag on the leg.

[Emperor Smeat]

There was a time when AJ facing Ziggler would have been a dream come true
what the hell happened?

Ziggy never evolving and Creative being terrible.

In recent years, whenever it seemed like Ziggy was heading towards something bigger or interesting, it got derailed shortly afterwards.

[KIRA]

He still has a flag on the leg.

hence my shifty eyes

[KIRA]

Ziggy never evolving and Creative being terrible.

In recent years, whenever it seemed like Ziggy was heading towards something bigger or interesting, it got derailed shortly afterwards.

I also recall something about him not being willing to slow down pissed people off.

I still think not pushing him after his survivor series win was dumb.

That was also when I excepted that he was never gonna rise above glorified mid-carder

[Droford]

Im here to sell the phone im here to sell the phone...

[Lock Jaw]

Why didn't Owens/Zayn do this last week with Styles/Cena?

[Savio]

Should just let Ziggler get pinned.

[Droford]

swerve

[KIRA]

Tag match playa holla

[Droford]

lol everyone wated cena not corbin

[Lock Jaw]

Or not.

Let's just do the main event of the PPV minus John Cena. What better way to build to the match then to practically have it?

[Emperor Smeat]

Sami & Owens have the worst plans ever. Always results in things getting worse for them and having to deal with Shane every time who they despise.

[KIRA]

If I can say one thing good about Corbin his character really hates everyone

[Savio]

If I can say one thing good about Corbin his character really hates everyone

I also feel like it's part of his character to be a charisma vacuum

[slik]

Either a no-contest or whoever wins then loses Sunday?

[KIRA]

It is. The best version of Corbin is one that never ever talks(or gets in the ring)

[Lock Jaw]

A tower of doom spot?! Never woulda seen it coming

[slik]

Perro Grande!!

[Emperor Smeat]

Kind of funny the only reason this main event wasn't just everyone in Fastlane's WWE title match was due to Cena not bothering to show up on Smackdown tonight.

[Emperor Smeat]

Corbin's Deep Six move is legit the best thing about him.

[Droford]

neato

[Emperor Smeat]

Time to scratch Sami Zayn's name off the winner's list this Sunday.

[KIRA]

Baron Corbon is proof positive that the front office just likes tall dudes because he literally has nothing else appealing about him

[KIRA]

Corbin's Deep Six move is legit the best thing about him.

ok maybe that

[Lock Jaw]

If Sami's "plan" was telling Owens he was going to lay down for him was his way of trying to get Owens to lower his guard against him..... why would he blow his plan tonight in a match that isn't for the title? Now on Sunday Owens isn't going to trust him.......

[Savio]

Let's watch Ossmans stream now:

https://www.twitch.tv/oquinterros

[KIRA]

Maybe its because you say things like "underlooked"

[Savio]

If Sami's "plan" was telling Owens he was going to lay down for him was his way of trying to get Owens to lower his guard against him..... why would he blow his plan tonight in a match that isn't for the title? Now on Sunday Owens isn't going to trust him.......

Yeah, same thought. Maybe.... um this is a trick?.... um.

[KIRA]

Jimmy Uso is like ummmmmmmmm

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Beth's reason why she teamed up with Santino back in the day.

I'm watching 205 this week for the 1st time in months

I wish Drew Gulak was on RAW

[Lock Jaw]

Missed the week where Mark Andrews had his first match so this is my first time seeing him..... seems like a "right wanker"

[Lock Jaw]

Oompa Loompa: "I'm sure you're wondering why I put you in tag team competition together? Well, it's because you are both Asian"

[Emperor Smeat]

I'm watching 205 this week for the 1st time in months

I wish Drew Gulak was on RAW

Its been really good since this CWC v2.0 tournament started a couple months ago.

[slik]

Gulak 'very serious' now

Good promo from Mustafa Ali

Tozawa still really over w / live crowd

[Lock Jaw]

You should check out the full Mustafa Ali promo, it is better..... see the "I support Mustafa Ali" thread.....

[slik]

So many empty seats in the arena...fans clearing out after SDLive...not many left for 205Live

[Lock Jaw]

Good match between Ali/Murphy

[Lock Jaw]

I think we will see a face vs face match of Cedric Alexander vs Mustafa Ali at Wrestlemania

[Emperor Smeat]

Ali-Murphy was pretty good overall. Got really stiff or hard hitting with the shots near the end of it.

[slik]

seems like a good final four, roderick, mustafa, gulak and cedric

[Droford]

[Tom Guycott]

Nakamura should sing all of his promos.

Eh. One hand it would be kinda cool. On the other, it would perpetuate that "ROCKSTAR" nonsense.

[XL]

Who was the other bleach blonde failure

Cody?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

"I haven't opened my copy of Microsoft Office in weeks" is not a line I ever expected to hear in a promo I would consider good.
