SDLive - The Road to RUMBLE ends - 1.22.19
 

I want to drink Mandy's colon juices.

Even though SD is in my hometown tonight I am unable to attend via attending the Rumble on Sunday

A friend at the show sent me a pic of the audience so far...

Found this one on Twitter, upper deck tarped off

decent seats

my friend said Heavy Machinery vs Colons is the dark match so I guess no Otis on tv this week for brand blue

Empty.

Which means keep an eye on the super tight camera work tonight.

whaaa. Vega is barred from ringside. DUMB

I WANT TO WRING THE SWEAT OUT OF BECKY LYNCH'S PANTIES INTO MY MOUTH.

Good lord, Charlotte. Go look in the mirror.

Asuka can wrap them thighs around me anytime. Teach me of the ways of the dirty talk, RP.

Tha Empress

Charlotte looking a lot less like Ric tonight

Charlotte looks like Morticia Addams but not in a good way

The makeup railgun found it's mark

Becky just decked Jamie Noble

Questionable outfit but I think the makeup is a good switch up.

:lol: at the random Golden Crisp ad shot during a backstage brawl.

Yeesh. That's a long time of trying to break them up!

SDL! brought to you by Temptation Island!

Good backstage brawl between Bex and Asuka

I want to cook Mandy Rose's turds and spread them on bread and eat them.

Out of all the possible feuds, why did WWE decide to give the special hype video treatment to the Naomi-Mandy "marriage wrecking" feud.

Golden Crisp.

Ewwwwwww. That's still in production after all these years?!

I didn't think WWE would be desperate for sponsors these days.

I really had no idea people still ate cereal. I'll get some Frosted Mini Wheats every now and then..

Way to protect your girl Sonja just getting pushed the hell out of the way

Two things I just realized how much I love the fact that Mandy Rose has the V trigger and Naomi could be such a f****** good wrestler if not an amazing one if she was not so sloppy

That may be the first scandalous thing I've heard Kira say...Mand's V Trigger.. :shifty:

That was a dumb ending.

That was a pretty meh match. Pacing was really off because Naomi was too slow for spots at times.

Mandy victorious, as she should always be

Rey's promo giving me flashbacks to hanging out in 90's Spencer Gifts

I've gotten sassy once or twice ;)

As long as he keeps that giant onesie away I'm good with whatever he wears

It was a poor decision to wear that ridiculous get-up on the night he decided to bust out the Canadian Destroyer just undercuts the whole thing

What time does AEW come on

It's snowing!

Probably why there's not a lot of people there.

If Naomi was a good girlfriend she would let Jimmy get a taste of that Mandy Rose ass.

I'm actually glad I didn't go via that reason

Sheamus gingerly shoves Shane

crowd reacting to The Bar like they are faces

Not even an hour in and the commentators table is getting trashed and destroyed for a 2nd time tonight.

Might as well get it away from ringside and up on the stage like Raw.

Good powerbomb from The Bar

LOL @ Corey Graves expression

Looks like Mustafa did this bit outside the arena today reading cue cards.

:lol:

Shane and the Miz are still out there.

Mustafa Ali looks like he's about to star in a Truth commercial

Not bad

Judging by the popularity of this thread SD won't exactly be a ratings juggernaut this week

RAW ended with like 4 pages. Not defending Smackdown...snoozefest.

On an unrelated note..I checked out that TV show, "Deadly Class" last night and came out impressed.

I watched the first ep of Deadly Class as well and plan on checking out episode 2

AJ was not a fan of the Gillette ad...Too bad Daniel doesn't whip one out and start shaving off that goddamn goat beard.

Back and to the left back and to the left back and to the left

If Daniel Bryan doesn't enter the Royal Rumble pay-per-view with some kind of Captain Planet theme gear I'm going to be very very cross

Planetary Champion

Vince looks bored

OH SNAP. PREACH IT, DANIEL. EAT IT, BOOMERS

DBry telling the truth, again!

Daniel Bryan just spitting the truth right now it's all bread and circuses

Vince's bored because they aren't six-foot-nine roided up and potential signees to his XFL project

I like Carmella's new tits.

:lol: R-Truth

Truth :rofl:

Gawd get a new fucking theme song, joe

Digging Carmella these days

Joe with new music and Paul Heyman would be cool....wonder how many times that's been stated

I'm like Simple fan in a TNA thread right now.

Better booking would have been Mustafa not tapping out -- but passing out.

:lol: at random Tony Chimel sighting and Edge joke by Big E

Nakamura goes from winning the Rumble to on the kick-off show the next year.

Sigh.

So Andrade likely getting a new theme soon considering it still shouts out his full name.

Pretty cool super sit-out powerbomb Andrade just busted out.

Big powerbomb and pin for Andrade!

It's so strange his win meant literally nothing

Nice to see Rey ditched the onesie he mustve caught the comments

Rey's lucky he didn't hurt his knee again on that West Coast Pop.

Make SJ great again...

Rey-Andrade match was really good overall.

Probably a safe bet to cross out Samoa Joe and Randy Orton from the Rumble's winner list.

Pumped for the Rumble because I'll win @ #27 and Have Triple A donate to the charity of my choice.

Good main-event

Apparently its possible to pull off a Flying Nothing from a moonsault since Humberto on 205 Live just did it.

No... what's strange is that this isn't somehow considered his fault. Brass rings, and all that.

It's not strange. Watching how they treat the other talent, and how they book the product in general makes it a natural assumption. Doen't mean it's right. He could very well be coasting, but I'm not surprised people blame creative first.

I’m not as keen on Nakamura as a lot of others but I can’t imagine losing to/failing to beat Styles for 4 months straight did much to help his credibility.

That said, their Mania match was somewhat of a letdown, probably because they were holding back knowing they had to drag it out over 4 supershows. Even if they eventually hit their peak I’d lost all interest in the programme by then.

It also never helped his debut feud on SD was Dolph Ziggler and it went on forever and consisted of Dolph winning clean often.

While it was funny, WWE ended up putting way too much emphasis on the low blow as the main focus of their feud.

All their big matches pretty much struggled from the same issue of abruptly ending right when it looked like it was about to kick into another gear.

I enjoyed this show.... just watched it.... Rey/Andrade was good again.... Though "dunno" about that move that Andrade kicked out of two weeks in a row beating him for a 3 count this week....

I've heard really good things about this week's SmackDown. I miiiiiiight check it out. We'll see. I'll maybe see how the Rumble goes and whether they make SmackDown depressing again right after it.

Just on Nakamura: It's an entirely different style of wrestling that he's trying to pick up when he's been 35, 36, 37 years old. He's probably never traveled this much or had to work this frequently or been away from his family this much. In addition to that, he was getting his push in the last contractual year he had with WWE. It wouldn't have been a surprise if WWE fucked it up, but it actually didn't make sense for them to go balls to the wall with Nakamura in 2018.
