[Emperor Smeat]

That was a pretty good opening segment and easily the best in weeks for Smackdown.

[Emperor Smeat]

Mandy Rose's lens blur effect for her entrance would be way more effective if WWE actually managed to always keep her in the focused part of the shot. Instead just comes off as just the camera being very smudgy and the cameraman doing nothing about it.

[Emperor Smeat]

Rose vs. Bliss was pretty bad overall.

Didn't help crowd was also mostly dead outside of a couple moments.

[Emperor Smeat]

Elias' old theme sounded a lot better than the current one he has.

[Emperor Smeat]

This Drake Maverick, Elias, and Dana Brooke storyline might be just as bad and/or dumb as the Lana/Lashley/Rusev one on RAW.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bray's lucky he's wearing a belt since he was very close to having his butt crack show after that Sister Abigail to Miz.

[Emperor Smeat]

Fatal 4-way Elimination tag match was pretty good overall. The Revival winning was way too predictable though because WWE telegraphed it by having 3 face teams involved.

[Emperor Smeat]

Over half-way into the show and only Reigns vs. Corbin and Revival vs. New Day have been announced for TLC.

This jobber's gear looks like a hybrid of Nakamura's while he was in NJPW and Nia Jax. Also that match sucked and if Lacey is supposed to be a face now, that match did nothing to show it.

:| Lana-Rusev storyline getting top billing for RAW's commercial.

[Emperor Smeat]

Reigns vs. Ziggy was decent. :| Reigns getting dog food dumped on him. Everything about this post-match attack sucks.

Smackdown was pretty boring to average at best and the build for TLC has been pretty terrible overall.

This Drake Maverick, Elias, and Dana Brooke storyline might be just as bad and/or dumb as the Lana/Lashley/Rusev one on RAW.

I don't even know who the face is. This looks terrible.

[Bad News Gertner]

I don't understand why in the WWE wrestlers don't have "friends". Like why aren't any faces coming to the aid of Reigns.

They NEVER do that. The last pair of friends that I remember were Test and Shane. Regardless of the angle each was in they also had that friendship on t.v.

Vince has prob been on the phone all day and we're gonna get Friday Night Saudi after today's events.

[Emperor Smeat]

I don't understand why in the WWE wrestlers don't have "friends". Like why aren't any faces coming to the aid of Reigns.

They NEVER do that. The last pair of friends that I remember were Test and Shane. Regardless of the angle each was in they also had that friendship on t.v.

Because storyline-wise, WWE completely forgot Ali and Shorty G were Reigns friends and also hated Corbin and his pals a lot prior to Survivor Series.

With the Corbin feud and the past Bryan/Rowan feud, Reigns is starting to feel like Cena again in terms of booking and over-coming the odds.

[GD]

The final segment of the show was garbage. Even fucking Roman Reigns isn't above this bullshit. Imagine the Undertaker or Austin ever going along with such utter nonsense.

[Emperor Smeat]

Missed 205 Live last night but just finished watching a replay and the only takeaway from the show was it being pretty dull overall.

Rush vs. Burch was the best of the 3 matches but that's not saying much since it was mostly average at best. WWE would be better off just cancelling 205 Live at this point since nothing on the brand has been enticing since the Draft and NXT stole all of its remaining luster.

[Droford]

I wonder if it was supposed to be Daniel Bryan under the ring grabbing Roman Reigns. They mentioned someone grabbing him from under the ring but never went anywhere further with it
