SmackDown

[Triple A]

Any1 watching WWE SmackDown Live

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yeah. Shane's there. And he's pissed.

[rez]

I guess

[rez]

I just put some wicker patio furniture together. Never again...damn you Menards

[Triple A]

Hope this isn't Kofi... unbearably sick of him

[Anybody Thrilla]

Was Stomping Grounds any good?

[Triple A]

Forgot about Samoa Joe... I guess it is something new and not Dolph Ziggler at least

[rez]

Are we getting Bray tonight or did Vince nip the gimmick in the butt because he didn't like his puppet

[Triple A]

Was Stomping Grounds any good?

I missed most of it but I think the consensus was that it was "not bad" to "pretty good," especially based on expectations

[Innovator]

You just got run over by a Samoan Silervado, why you smiling

[KIRA]

I think it's time for the new day to evolve their gimmick a little bit I don't know how but they do need

[Anybody Thrilla]

I might give it a spin some day. I wonder if anyone will have the balls to challenge Aliester Black tonight???

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think it's time for the new day to evolve their gimmick a little bit I don't know how but they do need

At least a different food item.

[Anybody Thrilla]

God Dolph it.

[Emperor Smeat]

Was Stomping Grounds any good?

1st half of it was surprisingly good.

[KIRA]

Just realized Kofis chest is fully deflated now.

[slik]

dolph it should have been me promo

[KIRA]

Calling itTag match Joe and dolph vs kofi and big e

Ok Im wrong
Weird since tag matches seem to be all they do on television lately.

[rez]

Arent all matches 2 outta 3 now tho?

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE is going to quickly drive elimination and 2-out-of-3 matches to the ground because of Vince's dumb new rule.

Also did Ziggy forget that he was also trying to escape the cage via the door so that makes him just as much of a coward as he claims Kofi is.

[rez]

The Radkes are wannabe Chrisley

[rez]

Vince logic: We can ignore the wild card rule and they'll never notice! Fans are dumb!

[Triple A]

a 2 out of 3 falls Miz vs. Elias match... cool

[Triple A]

followed by a Miz vs. Shane match probably... sweet

[ClockShot]

Late to the party. Looks like I didn't miss much.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I always forget how much I enjoy Xavier's ring work.

[KIRA]

followed by a Miz vs. Shane match probably... sweet

I honestly can't take anymore Shane

[Triple A]

I guess SmackDown is exempt from the commercial rule cause of the picture in picture thing

[KIRA]

Also does anybody know what band Rowan is wearing tonight

[Triple A]

I honestly can't take anymore Shane

Yeah am "being sarcastic"... feel like Miz and Elias are the two worst in-ring wrestlers in WWE...

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: wrestling actually happening during a commercial.

Guess that explains how Smackdown is affected by Vince's new rule for the split-screen stuff. Split-screen ads keeps the wrestling going and regular ads likely won't.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'd like to see Bryan v. Big E one on one.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Woods pins Bryan two nights in a row.

[Evil Vito]

Rowan might be the strongest booked guy in the company. He never eats the pin.

[Triple A]

Bryan getting pinned nonstop lately

[Anybody Thrilla]

Really can't stand champions losing non title matches. Why have any non title matches at all, even?

[ClockShot]

This is gonna morph into an 8-man tag match, isn't it?

[Triple A]

Another 8 man tag...?

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE is extremely lazy with how they handle title feuds, especially when it comes to needing a reason for actual title matches.

[KIRA]

Yeah am "being sarcastic"... feel like Miz and Elias are the two worst in-ring wrestlers in WWE...

I knew what you were going for I was just voicing what was in my head

[rez]

Also does anybody know what band Rowan is wearing tonight

I didn't catch it. There's a reddit excel sheet that lists his appearances and what band he had on on any particular night.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why wouldn't they have just made this an eight man tag from the jump?

[slik]

I am #shocked at this becoming a 8 man tag

[Triple A]

Was pumped to watch tonight for some reason but this show frankly sucks dick real bad so far... like they are not even trying

[Anybody Thrilla]

Nice pin transition on the compactor.

[KIRA]

Thanks

[slik]

NUGENIX

[rez]

Thanks

I linked it above. Someone should update it sooner or later. Soundgarden was out of character last night.

[Emperor Smeat]

That 8-man tag match was pretty much useless. Could have been just a Heavy Machinery vs. Sami & Owens tag match if that was the goal for the end.

[rez]

BUY ONE SHIRT GET ONE FOR A $1!

[slik]

LEESA MATTRESS

[rez]

TACO BELL GRANDE NACHO BOX

$5!

[Anybody Thrilla]

That 8-man tag match was pretty much useless. Could have been just a Heavy Machinery vs. Sami & Owens tag match if that was the goal for the end.

Best I can figure, they were just trying to save time on entrances and such.

[rez]

SOME STUPID MARVEL MOVIE ON USA! SATURDAY!

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cool Ali promo.

[slik]

spotted HUSKUS PIG backstage earlier

[Anybody Thrilla]

Shane really could be great right now if he weren't in every segment

[tman220]

pic of Huskus?

[ClockShot]

TIMEOUT!

[rez]

I'm actually fine with Undertaker and Reigns teaming up.......

Reigns will be in the match the whole time and Undertaker can come in at the end to give a tombstone or choke slam. COMPELLING STUFF, FOLKS

[Anybody Thrilla]

spotted HUSKUS PIG backstage earlier

Odd usage of a Wildcard, but we'll see where it goes.

[rez]

Do cheerleaders come out and shoot tshirt guns at the fans during the commercial breaks?

[rez]

Extra gum...

Yeah, some random old man you're playing checkers or chess..whatever with slides some gum to you to make you a chick magnet

[rez]

Did I mention he was old and black

[Anybody Thrilla]

What's this commercial shit you guys keep talking about?

[Triple A]

Oh shit I didn't catch that Kofi vs. Ziggler tonight is also 2 out of 3 falls... Jesus...

Why are they even doing the 2 out of 3 falls shit on SmackDown if they are just running through the commercials anyway... sucks so much.........

[slik]

[ClockShot]

What's this commercial shit you guys keep talking about?

So for every commercial break, action stops in the ring. With the exception of the sometimes split screen action.

Vince's new idea.

[slik]

@ Afif

IDK


Feel like WWE is in 'trainwreck mode' more and more...

[Triple A]

What's this commercial shit you guys keep talking about?

Vince McMahon made a new edict last Monday that there can no longer be any wrestling during commercials because "real sports don't have action during commercials."

So WWE has been using a bunch of arbitrary workarounds to get around the rule (elimination matches, 2 out of 3 falls, random match restarts)

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ohhhh, sneaky pig

[Emperor Smeat]

2 weeks into this new commercials rule and Post Wrestling's John Pollock was right about this leading to wrestlers taking a lot of unnecessary pins and losses because of how disorganized WWE is.

[slik]

What's this commercial shit you guys keep talking about?

Vince mandated no wrestling during commercial breaks from now on (unless split screen)

so if match is not over wrestlers quit wrestling and just stand in the ring while promos air for things on the tron

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well, watching on TV, I don't mind the commercial stuff. Must be a bitch live.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That last part is rather silly.

[slik]

guy on reddit at RAW yesterday said they turned the lights off on the ring and started airing a WM36 promo in the middle of a match during one of the commercial breaks last night

[ClockShot]

Well, watching on TV, I don't mind the commercial stuff. Must be a bitch live.

Yeah. Reports coming out are the ring goes dark, commercials air on the 'tron, wrestlers would come out and cut a promo, some other stupid shit.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Has Miz ever beaten Shane?

[Triple A]

Well, watching on TV, I don't mind the commercial stuff. Must be a bitch live.

Yeah tbh I think it's a good idea... last night's show seemed to "flow" better because of it.

But all of the workarounds are getting kinda ridiculous and it's almost causing more problems than it's worth

Last night there was a Ricochet vs. AJ Styles match, which started at 10:40... but then they had Gallows & Anderson come out a few mins into the match and AJ Styles kicked them out from ringside and the match was "restarted" so they could go to commercial, so the match only ended up getting like 10 minutes of time

[slik]

Nope, Shane has won every time

[slik]

Shane also defeated Roman Reigns via pinfall at SUPER SHOWDOWN

[KIRA]

Shane has THE WORST punches

[RP]

Tuned in just in time to hear No More Shane chants. And the crowd sounds like there is about 1,000 people in it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Shane has THE WORST punches

RVD would like a word with you.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yeah tbh I think it's a good idea... last night's show seemed to "flow" better because of it.

Yeah, I watched that earlier. I was confused as to why the match was even "stopped". They didn't even do anything.

[Emperor Smeat]

Think Shane kicked Miz in the nuts with that Coast-2-Coast move.

[rez]

I cannot keep up with the backstage interview chicks. It seems like there's new ones every week. I dunno

[RP]

Nakamura confirmed alive.

[rez]

The ghosts of wrestlers past

[Anybody Thrilla]

Balor/Nakamura? I can dig that. I miss Andrade though.

[KIRA]

The Bosses son in 2 fueds Aliester Black none

[Anybody Thrilla]

So I guess Miz is just gonna sell all commercial break. That's actually not bad.

[slik]

Did miz win the 3rd fall I went to get a snack...

[rez]

I'm betting The Iconics wrecked that commercial rent car leaving the parking lot

[KIRA]

The more I think about what's happened because of this wild card rules the more I think this is want to the worst things this company has ever done.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did miz win the 3rd fall I went to get a snack...

Nope

[rez]

Well...SDL still has one thing going for it over RAW. One less hour

[Anybody Thrilla]

How long until we get WWE Two Out of Three Falls Pay Per View?

[slik]

damn at Miz loss

[rez]

robo vacuum is entering the room to drown out the sounds of this wonderful wwe event.

[slik]

would u rather have sexual relations with:

A) Bayley

B) Nikki Cross

C) Bray Wyatt


choose ur choice

[Anybody Thrilla]

Nikki Cross has lost ALL of her charm. And fucking OUCH @ Bayley.

[Anybody Thrilla]

would u rather have sexual relations with:

A) Bayley

B) Nikki Cross

C) Bray Wyatt


choose ur choice

Bayley's bum

[Bad News Gertner]

If Kofi gets pinned or submitted during the 2 out 3 falls match I win TPWW Survivor. Come on Dolph!

[Anybody Thrilla]

OK...if Nikki gets obsessive and crazy with Alexa, it might be fun.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Alright, that was pretty fucking funny. Poor Drake.

[rez]

hwhahahahahahahahahaha

[Emperor Smeat]

This 24/7 title feud between Truth and Maverick is the best feud WWE has going on these days.

:lol: at Truth

[rez]

Bayley's bum

Bray. Might lead to a chance with Abigail

[Anybody Thrilla]

"I love this title more than you love your wife! Arrivederci!" :lol:

[Anybody Thrilla]

This 24/7 title feud between Truth and Maverick is the best feud WWE has going on these days.

:lol: at Truth

Strange times are here.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Drake is about to pull a Tim White.

"That's not wise, Mr. Maverick!"

[Anybody Thrilla]

Welp, turns out Mandy Rose is still a smoke show.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That's cool for Sonya to be all prided out, but it's weird for that character to be fighting over doughnuts. Would be better if she were a face on the pride kick.

[KIRA]

To be honest Ember is the true heel here she was offered donuts and she's knocked them out of Devilles hands

[Emperor Smeat]

Well that match was a waste of time.

[Triple A]

Does the audio in backstage segments seem very slightly out of sync to any1 else

[slik]

Aleister Black doing an impression of Sami Zayn now

Oh dear

[Anybody Thrilla]

That Aleister Black is... weird. I won't say bad yet.

[KIRA]

Aleister....... Jesus Christ.

[Anybody Thrilla]

To be honest Ember is the true heel here she was offered donuts and she's knocked them out of Devilles hands

SHE KNEW SHE WAS ON A DIET :mad:

[Triple A]

Ember Moon vs. Sonya feud was weird... first made Ember seem "insane" by "flipping out" on them for offering her doughnuts backstage, then had Sonya squash her in like a minute...

[Anybody Thrilla]

Imagine Aleister opens the door...and it's Big Show.

[rez]

Aleister gonna get his soul stolen by Bray...Shang Tsung style?

YOWWIE WOWWIE

[Emperor Smeat]

To be honest Ember is the true heel here she was offered donuts and she's knocked them out of Devilles hands

Mandy and Deville could have offered something better than just plain glaze doughnuts.

Then again, Deville did also viciously murder Ember's Nintendo Switch the week before.

[KIRA]

SHE KNEW SHE WAS ON A DIET :mad:

Listen man I don't care what kind of diet you're on you never ,ever ,ever turn down free donuts

[KIRA]

Mandy and Deville could have offered something better than just plain glaze doughnuts.

Then again, Deville did also viciously murder Ember's Nintendo Switch the week before.

I'm pretty sure there were more cream filled Donuts in there

[Triple A]

Ember Moon vs. Sonya feud was weird... first made Ember seem "insane" by "flipping out" on them for offering her doughnuts backstage, then had Sonya squash her in like a minute...

Oh did Mandy interfere... wasn't paying attention tbh

[slik]

Yeah, Mandy distracted her

[rez]

Bray is going to go around stealing souls in the locker room. They'll all just be talent that isn't used on camera.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Glazed doughnuts are better than cream filled anyway. Don't @ me.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Who the fuck are the Radkes? They don't seem that rad to me.

[RP]

Do The Radke's come on tonight or is it Chrislie?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Do The Radke's come on tonight or is it Chrislie?

Both

Good main event, albeit a bit pointless.

[Emperor Smeat]

Main event was pretty good overall and the best part of it all, no more Ziggy being involved with Kofi's title.

[Emperor Smeat]

Mike Kanellis' storyline of him quitting 205 Live seems pretty interesting.

Don't see him really benefiting from the payoff if it actually leads to him back on the main roster.

[Triple A]

What happened with Kanellis? @Smeat

[Emperor Smeat]

He finally had enough with his lack of success in 205 Live and "walked out" after his match.

Left through the crowd and told Maria to deal with his lingering issues with Drake Maverick.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Would be pretty petty if they released Mike and kept Maria.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is that not a storyline?

[slik]

They just re-signed with WWE I believe

[LibSuperstar]

I wonder if they go to SmackDown. Seems like where they would fit best.
