WWE Friday Night SmackDown 3/27/20 feat. Road to Taped Mania & stuff that won't be on Mania

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if WWE already regrets taping Smackdown before Mania considering the news over the past couple days.

[Droford]

They're just gonna air old matches and do breaking news from the WWF Event Center with Sean Mooney

[Droford]

Wild Card!

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure if Tamina got new entrance music or completely forgot what her theme sounded like considering she's barely been on tv in recent times.

[Droford]

Royal Rumble next Tuesday on FS1

[slik]

got nervous when Tamina had a mic but luckily she kept it short

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Bryan having to cheat in order to secure his title match at Mania.

[slik]

Please stop playing the SD theme in every segment, it's too much

[Evil Vito]

Please stop playing the SD theme in every segment, it's too much

Are you not ready for a good time?

[Droford]

Is Elias at Full Sail? Cause he was banned from there

I guess not. That railing looked like the one at FS

[Emperor Smeat]

Way too many people violating the social distancing rule with that manhandling of Otis.

Last thing WWE needs is Otis getting sick considering he's been the sole bright spot of the blue brand for weeks.

[slik]

wwe toilet humor, of course....

[slik]

The quality of RAW and SD lately during CoronaMania is probably going to lead to me losing interest in WWE if this keeps up...

[Sepholio]

Hey Slik are you ready for a good time?

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure what was worse, Elias pretending there was a crowd for his concert or him deciding it was a good idea to hold it at the tallest part of the stage.

[Droford]

Poor Cole

[slik]

plz stop playing to the crowd....

[Emperor Smeat]

This has been a somewhat boring match soo far.

[slik]

Alexa pinning Asuka clean

:rant:

[Emperor Smeat]

:| Bliss beating Asuka.

That match stunk. Nikki's shenanigans at commentary was the only reason it wasn't completely awful.

[slik]

ESPN is airing WM32 on Sunday so of course it makes since to air the main-event of WM32 on SD???

[Emperor Smeat]

According to Wikipedia, this Triple H vs. Reigns match at Mania 32 lasted around 27 minutes so pretty much nothing new is happening till after 9:30PM.

Also really dumb to reair this match considering how much it was despised back then and Reigns no longer even wrestling at this year's Mania.

[slik]

I was in this crowd live and it got the absolute shit booed out of it.

[Droford]

Roman's hair was definitely affected looking back to this vs now

[Sepholio]

If he wasn't before, I bet Slik is ready for a good time now!

[Emperor Smeat]

Was it this Mania or Mania 33 where WWE started to stretch out the length of Manias way too long?

Mania 30 and 31 felt about right in length but afterwards they started to really drag but don't remember exactly when it happened.

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE probably should have cut out this Triple H interview considering its discussing Reigns vs Goldberg that isn't even happening anymore at Mania.

[Emperor Smeat]

RIP Rambling Rabbit again.

[Sepholio]

Well Rambling Rabbit definitely isn't ready for a good time now.

[slik]

Cena vs Bray on the funhouse set is what I figured would probably happen tbh

[Sepholio]

I can see them going through a door and into an evil mirror version of the funhouse.

[Emperor Smeat]

Tag match felt pretty boring or flat. Ending to Smackdown was terrible.

Toss up between tonight's SD and last week's RAW for worst empty arena show WWE has put on soo far. Leaning towards tonight's SD since at least last week's RAW had a great Edge promo and a hilarious Austin segment.
