Official Smackdown is maybe still worth it thread 8/7/18

[Dark One]

Some stuff will happen

Perhaps AJ Styles will apologize to his family

Zelina vs Lana Part 2 out of 839

[Savio]

Poster Loose Cannon had this gimmick in c-fedding

[slik]

This Randy Orton/Jeff Hardy feud is the best thing Orton has done in years.

[Savio]

Hope Lynch goes heel.

[slik]

Becky talking about Charlotte's boobs

[ClockShot]

Boingy boingy boingy.

Never really noticed Charlotte's new boobs until now.

[slik]

THE BIG CAT CHARLOTTE FLAIR

SUPERGIRL PUNCH

SPEAR!!

[Dark One]

Oh no. They have microphones.

OH god.

[Savio]

Really wish Byron was transferred to Raw.

[ClockShot]

They chanting boring?

[Dark One]

They chanting boring?

Yes

To the surprise of no one.

[rez]

Show content aside, Jacksonville got RAW. Orlando gets Smackdown.

Universal Studios/Medieval Times > ....Jacksonville

[slik]

Damn....The IIconics getting a boring chant

[ClockShot]

They were.

Haven't heard that one in a while.

Cities need to do it more often.

[Savio]

When the crowd was chanting boring they should have said "yes she's boring but..." And then continue with what they were saying

[slik]

I feel bad 4 the IIconics

they have the most 'fun' theme song in WWE

[Dark One]

Rusev/Lana Snickers+Dollar General commercial infinitely more interesting than IIconics heat segment.

[Savio]

Rusev/Lana Snickers+Dollar General commercial infinitely more interesting than IIconics heat segment.

So is gonorrhea

[ClockShot]

Professional dressed Renee tonight.

[Dark One]

White Kofi Kingston has more charisma than Kona Reeves.

[slik]

Is anyone else going to watch the first episode of THE PURGE tv series?

[Savio]

White face :(

[ClockShot]

Atleast she got a laugh out of it and not a totally confused look other backstage reporters do.

[Emperor Smeat]

Missed the first 30 minutes, anything interesting happen?

[Savio]

Hopefully there is no ending between Miz and Daniel Bryan at @ SS.... extend that ishhh

[ClockShot]

Missed the first 30 minutes, anything interesting happen?

Orton gets no respect

Becky/Charlotte beat the Iiconics

[rez]

the fuck was that strange finger fucketry

[Emperor Smeat]

Orton gets no respect

Becky/Charlotte beat the Iiconics

Still can't believe WWE's grand idea for the Iconic Duo's callup was to just add another "I" to their name and make them as the resident jobbers of the Blue Brand.

[ClockShot]

I dunno, Joe. Styles is one of the few who figured out the happy marriage in pro wrestling.

[Dark One]

I mean

That's more planning than AOP/Sanity/No Way Jose/etc

Vince says that never happened.

[Emperor Smeat]

Thought for a moment Styles was going to throw a jab at TNA/Impact with this promo.

[Emperor Smeat]

I mean

That's more planning than AOP/Sanity/No Way Jose/etc

True.

[slik]

AJ IS A FATHER AND HE IS HERE TO DO THIS FOR THE WWE UNIVERSE

[KIRA]

Hey gents what have I missed?

[ClockShot]

I'm whatever is beyond tired of The New Day.

The Bar should win that match.

[Dark One]

Thought for a moment Styles was going to throw a jab at TNA/Impact with this promo.

I'm going to assume that was the Roach-infested Apartment Complex.

[rez]

over under on if Aiden video tapes Lana/Rusev sexing

[Emperor Smeat]

Nice of RuRu to mend his relationship with Aiden.

[ClockShot]

What is on top of your head, Zelina?

[Savio]

But who will sing? :(

[slik]

Zelina here to show Lana how it's done

[Emperor Smeat]

Give it a couple more weeks and the swap of manager & wrestler roles between El Idolo and Vega will be complete. She's wrestled almost as much as he has since getting called up.

[KIRA]

Nice of RuRu to mend his relationship with Aiden.

Yeah....watch Aiden fuck it up

[Savio]

Tozawa gets no cheesy bites :(

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Aiden screwing up again

[KIRA]

Vega is a soldier man

[ClockShot]

I miss no speaky engli Nakamura.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: R-Truth

[KIRA]

Rusev doesn't look angry he looks more like a disappointed dad

[xrodmuc316]

LOL that is awesome that Truth thinks he will get a title match by beating Carmella

[Savio]

That was a good segment. It didn't really need tye though

[KIRA]

Ha nice Carmella.

[Savio]

Oh, and if anyone was interested Nak dropped some racial epithets

[Dark One]

lol at the crowd cheering/clapping for "Byron... That's why you'll never be anything more than a second-rate commentator."

[Dark One]

Miz is uber heel with that GIF pronunciation.

[ClockShot]

Is the Miz & Mrs. set literally backstage?

[KIRA]

Has R-Truth been US champion before

[KIRA]

Total Bella's gets a fourth season meanwhile Gotham's about the end what is wrong with this poor world

[ClockShot]

There we go.

[Dark One]

STONE COLD DAN BRYAN

[ClockShot]

This needs Brock/Taker buildup ASAP.

Was waiting for Daniel Bryan to scream "I WILL KILL YOU!"

[KIRA]

Miz and Daniel Bryan could be each other's Rock and Austin

[Emperor Smeat]

Baw Gawd Daniel Bryan has snapped.

[KIRA]

That was not a smooth cut to Nakamura

[KIRA]

Oh, and if anyone was interested Nak dropped some racial epithets

What..
Where?

[Savio]

Has R-Truth been US champion before

Yes, for a short while

[rez]

R-Truth could be the next DMX.

[KIRA]

R-Truth could be the next DMX.

You mean he could get busted for abusing animals despite claiming to love them

[KIRA]

R-Truth stole John Cena Jorts he looks better in them frankly

[KIRA]

I just want to reiterate Truth is somewhere close to 50 years old

[Savio]

Not sure why when someone gets kicked in the head and WWE the announcers say they kicked him in the back of the neck. Being kicked in the back of the neck is not much safer at all....

[KIRA]

Get some real hammers gentleman those giant whack a mole mallets just look silly

[rez]

You mean he could get busted for abusing animals despite claiming to love them

forgot about that. damn you, deadpool

[Dark One]

What in the fuck is happening on the picture-in-picture.

[Dark One]

Did they legitimately just show a trio of jobbers warming up in gorilla and then their entrance?

THIS is what the picture-in-picture was conceived for.

[Emperor Smeat]

Some weird looking jobbers in this Bludgeon Bros massacre match.

[Dark One]

"Roman Reigns Starter Kit Tazz Jr"

Good grief

[Dark One]

RIP love child of Brodus Clay and Santino

[KIRA]

"Roman Reigns Starter Kit Tazz Jr"

Good grief

He forgot to say budget Santino Marella

[KIRA]

The new day contributing to America's obesity problem one child at a time

[Dark One]

Oh--okay.

They're chanting "We want pancakes"

I thought they were chanting "We want Sheamus" which, you know, cool, he's pretty good, but that would have been random as fuck

[Dark One]

The new day contributing to America's obesity problem one child at a time

Gotta sell them 5XL shirts somehow.

[KIRA]

I just realized if Cesaro ever won the World Heavyweight Championship I'd be extremely happy although I don't know why

[KIRA]

Those belly-to-belly suplex is can't be good for a guy with spinal stenosis

[KIRA]

"Swiss Cyborg" Scottish Terminator" I'm starting to think Corey Graves has a fetish

[Emperor Smeat]

Oh--okay.

They're chanting "We want pancakes"

I thought they were chanting "We want Sheamus" which, you know, cool, he's pretty good, but that would have been random as fuck

WWE will probably edit in Sheamus chants for the Hulu version or Youtube clips of this show.

[Dark One]

"Swiss Cyborg" Scottish Terminator" I'm starting to think Corey Graves has a fetish

Still less weird than JBL.

[Dark One]

WWE will probably edit in Sheamus chants for the Hulu version or Youtube clips of this show.

That's not how you spell Roman.

[rez]

"Swiss Cyborg" Scottish Terminator" I'm starting to think Corey Graves has a fetish

He quit social media over his dummy brother so he gets a pass for whatever tonight.

[Dark One]

Imagine the Raw Tag Team Division main eventing Raw




I'm sorry.

[KIRA]

Cesaro adds absolutely nothing to that double team finisher

[KIRA]

Imagine the Raw Tag Team Division main eventing Raw




I'm sorry.

:rofl:

[Dark One]

Miz gonna be pissed at the tag team division pre-empting Miz and Mrs.

[Emperor Smeat]

New Day vs The Bar was really good overall.

That's not how you spell Roman.
WWE will probably edit in <s>Sheamus</s>Roman chants for the Hulu version or Youtube clips of this show.

[Savio]

That was a very good tag match

[KIRA]

That finish was cool af

[rez]

not a great show..had it in the background, mostly. end was good, tho

[Anybody Thrilla]

That main event was really great. Also, the IIconics promo wasn't even bad. Not sure what everyone was so miffed about.

[Big Vic]

Their pacing.

[Cool King]

• It's 2018 and I'm enjoying Randy Orton and all he's really done so far is talk.

What's going on?

• The IIconics are absolutely terrible. How did they manage to get called up to the main roster?

To be fair though, Payton Royce hasn't really done all that much. Billie Kay seems to be the one that's having more matches and in my opinion, she's the worst of the two.

I'd actually say that there are times where she's worse than Kelly Kelly.

• Is it just me or was Kofi's interview character just a tiny bit racist?

• The main event was great and I was really wanting The Bar to win.

I do hope though that this is New Day's last shot at the titles because their shtick is really old now but they do put on some really good matches from time to time.

It would be good to see them either disband or freshen up their gimmick. They have to pick one of them.

[Innovator]

I really wanted a hoss fight between the Bludgeons and the Bar

[Anybody Thrilla]

Their pacing.

I didn't see a problem there either.

They got some new enhancements to their look :shifty:

Like a lot of callups, they were way better in NXT in terms of direction and how their characters were handled. What hurt them the most was getting cooled down way too much prior to the callup and main Creative being absolutely shit. Impossible for them to succeed if WWE's grand plan was to just water them down to a single trait and have them be nothing more than jobbers.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The New Day are going to be sticking together because they want to market the pancake stuff. I'm expecting them to win the Tag Titles at SummerSlam. It would have been more intriguing to see a battle of the brutes between Cesaro & Sheamus and The Bludgeons, but they want to put the merchandise movers in there, and they would feel like they need token black guys in some sort of position on the card since Bobby Lashley isn't booked.

[Impeccable]

I've barely watched any WWE since 'Mania but due to having some time off from work watched the last few weeks of both Raw and Smackdown.

SmackDown has been great.

When did R-truth get back on TV? Fairly entertaining. I do like Shinsuke as a heel though.

Orton has been very entertaining. Loved last week with the wiping away with facepaint of Hardy. I'm not a fan of the way he is ending promos with the "R-K" and then abruptly stopping for the fans to finish it off...if he is saying the fans are the reason for his turn, then why is he allowing them to join in and finish a catch phrase?

AJ vs Joe has potential - feels like it could a feud that spans multiple PPVs and just starts at Summerslam

I wanted to see The Bar win against New Day. But it was a great match and a good finish.

Does anyone else have a niggling feeling that Bryan is going to be leaving?

[slik]

I feel like Bryan will re-sign w/ WWE

but I kind of hope he doesn't just b/c I'd like to see the indies keep getting bigger and bigger and DBry doing a few matches in NJPW could be big for them. Omega vs Bryan seems like a natural for the annual Tokyo Dome show to me.

[slik]

DBry vs ZSJ

DBry vs Okada

DBry vs Sanada


all also interest me

I just hate the way Billie Kay sells and how she seems to be scared of falling down.

The majority of the time when she gets attacked, be it in the form of a strike or a move, instead of falling to the canvas like everyone else does, she just stumbles around or on the spot with a stupid look on her face.

It's kinda cringworthy and annoying.
