Lol

So did Styles ever get rehired back or WWE forgot about it since it was more than 2 weeks ago?

Rename it Tuesday Night Don't Want None

like how its not a face turn its just respect

Did AJ just turn face?

Bromance brewing between Styles and Shane O'. Glad to see Shinsuke on the main roster. I love the direction Smackdown is headed in.

Like to think Styles was actually sincere about not wanting to leave Smackdown considering how bad RAW and its Creative is in general.

Oh, that makes sense. Sucks though. To anyone watching, Nakamura appearing and doing nothing probably seems odd.

I was thinking it was sort of a face turn showing respect to Shane and putting over the brand.

I think Shane cancelled the firing.

Yeah. He was in the ring and then they went to commercial and came back and he was gone and they'd moved on to something else.

I think, for television, it makes sense. You have to ease people into Nakamura. He can get over with his aura and raw charisma easily.

Casual fans will have to start with the "Who is this guy and why is he giving me chills just watching him!?!" before they can get to "Holy fuck!!! He just kneed Miz's head into my lap!!!!"

Yeah.... too bad they will be loud for things that have nothing to do with the matches going on

lol Scott Dawson is trolling Wade Keller on Twitter.

Very, and I'm watching with someone who hasn't the slightest idea who he is so they didn't do him any favors in that sense.

Hey Poit, get a "He got the whole world in his hands" chant going.

Something feels off about this SmackDown... Raw was def way better this week imo (obv not a "typical raw")

Luke Harper needs a new theme......

I like Eric Rowan's new mask

Pointless tag match... doesn't seem necessary to have these guys fight again when they just "fought" each other earlier in the show... Raw-like booking...

Gotta love that Luke Harper and Randy Orton have just forgotten all their recent issues because they're both faces now.

Fucking beach balls

i know every1 loves Luke Harper (and Bray Wyatt) but all 4 of these guys are rlly boring in the ring to me :-(

Wish Bo Dallas would join the Wyatt Family... really like Bo Dallas

Not going to watch this main event.

Wish Harper would still say YEEEEEAAAHHH YYYEAAHHHH YEEEEAHHHHHHHHH

Don't remember him saying it since face turn.......

For some reason I have a feeling Harper will be heading to Raw.

Next time Orton gets tagged in get a

Poops in bag chant going.

WWE should sign newest wrestling sensation El Beach Ballo to a deal considering it got some of the strongest reactions tonight and yesterday.

this match sucks i don't care whatever (sorry)

Feels just like a regular show minus Nakamura's big debut. Maybe its just fatigue by WWE and/or the crowds after a very busy wrestling week.

Got a feeling "Sweeeeeet" is gonna stick around.

LOL Chet Chetterson reference.:y::lol:

Southpaw Regional!

Oh, hey. Izzy (Bayley superfan) is a few seats away.

Why? Because it's not ________ v. _______ #1,928,374?

Well that was dumb. Second time tonight the Wyatt DERP backfired.

Welcome back Rowan, you're still about as useful as Virgil.

Wyatts back to their jobbing ways.

End of match summary:

BRAY: "DERP! I can teleport!"
ORTON: "IDGAF" *RKO, \_0_/*

please be a set up to beat the shit outta Orton

damn it

#ChrisleyAfterMania

so the theme of the wyatt/orton feud so far is orton is smarter than wyatt and any hocus pocus has no effect on orton

If the cruiserweight match on Raw was any indication, I have a bad feeling 205 Live is about to get dumped on my a lot of fans who are exhausted from 5 straight shows (if you count the HOF) and just want to see Nakamura in the dark matcj and then head home.

The Deranged Bird, Akira Tozawa is here!!

205 Live arena is suddenly pretty foggy... nice

:lol: Kendrick grabbing Tozawa's legs and pinning himself.

Kendrick's Rockers-like pants colors looks cool.

Nice, Oney Lorcan debut

Surprise appearance by Oney Lorcan on 205 Live right now. Wonder if its just a one-off match or an actual callup for him.

I like Oney's theme..... and he has had some good showings......

Rich Swann another of those guys who is 'sweating profusely' 10 seconds into the match

Feel like Oney Lorcan would make a good lackey for Neville because he also looks like a goblin.

That was a really good match between Swann and Lorcan

Swann-Lorcan was pretty good.

It was me, Alicia! It was me all along!

What kind of man buys a girl lingerie in the process of wooing her.......

Tyler Bates looks like a right wanker.

I want to fuck Tyler Bate.

Just sayin'.

:lol: at Bates' appearance. Sort of looks like a thinner version of Milton from Office Space

I forgot the UK Title was a thing

I was kinda hoping the UK Championship would become the NXT midcard title.

The crowd has actually been into 205 Live after dying down for the main event.

Good testament to the wrestlers involved given that so many of these fans have to be gassed from 5 nights of chanting.

my man Mustafa Ali...

Really like TJ Perkins as a wrestler and his theme makes me mark out

Just wish he would stop dabbing and tweeting about men's rights activism

lol can you post one of the tweets

Wonder if green shirt guy is gonna tweet that pic he just took

This was my personal favorite

Solid episode of 205 Live

Fatal Fourway match was really good.

Figured Bryan would have been extra ecstatic with Nakamura's debut. Him not being on Talking Smack probably means Brie really is at the "any minute" now stage for pregnancy.

And that's the end of Mania week.

Damn. Didn't think I'd have it in me anymore to watch from the very start of the HOF ceremony right on through to the end of 205 Live...but I did.

And honestly aside from a few really boring Mania matches and one or two meh-ish TV matches, I was mostly entertained.

Nothing that seriously pissed me off aside from the Hardys going back to normal, and even then at least they caused the biggest pop of the weekend.

Good times.

Feel like things will inevitably feel "back to normal" next week and we'll go into our annual slog before they start ramping up for SummerSlam. But it was fun while it lasted.

:lol: at them talking about Naomi's butt for starters.

Gotta be happy for Tye Dillinger. Dude had a cup of coffee on the main roster when he was 27, and now he managed to make his way back at 36.

Ha at Usos trying to get Shane to explain why he couldn't use his connections to have his brand's tag titles be defended at Mania.

Shane just teased at the idea of Enzo & Cass going to Smackdown when he had to come up with a possible team for the Usos to face after trade week.

Dark match was good. At the end, the crowd shouted KINSHASA in the same cadence as Corey Graves. I kinda wish Nakamura was on Raw, just so Graves could call his matches. But I say that about a lot of people. Corey Graves needs to be on every brand.

At one point in the match, during a rest hold, a beach ball came back out. It got knocked into the timekeeper's area, and Greg Hamilton knocked it back into the crowd (apparently after checking to make sure that was okay). But security immediately grabbed it. Lots of boos for that.

Should have knocked it into the ring

New finisher: RED SWINGLINE STAPLER!!!

AHEM...We still have #NXTAfterMania tomorrow night, which due to their being no services on Wednesdays this and next week (due to Spring Break and Holy Week, respectively) I will be able to tune in directly at 8PM EDT and maybe slik won't be so lonely in those couple of weekly threads. :)

To a lesser degree for those who don't give a rat's fat ass about him, W³ will have his weekly "WHO WAR IT BETTER" bid on YT sometime tomorrow probably and I'll be interested to see what he has to say about RAW After WM and SDL After Mania and which show "won" the week in his mind. I must say, despite originally posting only 19 1/2 or so minutes of his WM 33 Review, the last 15 or so minutes were totally worth it. He gave the show overall a B+ which is right on the money IMHO.

Nobody gives a shit about Jap wrestlers. Nakamura will be Mid carding by the summer.

Shoulda been Roode

Hey guys, remember when Nak came out and I came so hard I broke the windows?

"Jap" is racist, you maple syrup sucker!

Uh, a horny man? DUH!

Surprised American Alpha didn't face Breezango in the dark match, so the crowd would be able to "Fandango" a bit.

you are 1 note kind sir.

But actually probably right. Once he hits the less smarky cities nobody will care.

If AJ is turning face I hope they don't change his character too much, last time he was very bland as a face.

If anyone besides slik cares (yes it's a tad early), the NXT discussion thread for tonight is now up!
