Smackdown isn’t garbage, but with the Raw overlap it’s at least garbage adjacent: Official Discussion Thread
 

Enjoy!

Last night's disaster will most likely seep into Smackdown. Which is unfortunate since it's the better show.

Time for Flagship Blue bay bay

Will this thread make it to 4 pages?

YAY! STYLES IS BACK HOME!

Only if it's for tonight.

And, this stupid "wild card rule" that's in effect now.

lol fuck this company.

WWE having to make up an excuse to deal with the brand split that they created and 100% control is peak WWE

Speaking of garbage...…...

They don't want https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b6/6e...7f59ffe0c6.jpg

Survivor Series, Maggle! The only time of the year when RAW and Smackdown go head to head. #UnderSiege

Whoooooooooooooooooooa.

That's bad.

Oh God! This is painful. Shut up with the brands.

Turned it on, saw AJ and Sami and decided to turn it off. Will watch NBA instead.

Garbage joke :rofl: Hilarious "Take a shower!" :lol:

Xavier Woods with a PG masturbation joke.

Please please be...... decent.

Oooooh. NXT is coming to Bridgeport?!

Ugh. Tempted. But the drive is a bitch.

tag titles bay bay

Daniel Bryan and Rowan :lol:

Actually they have had a match together saxton

4 Wild Card entrees now.

Fuck yo brand extension :lol:

Brand split? What brand split?

Revival gonna interfere or some bull.

Whew that close I thought Rowan shirt said Avenged Sevenfold I almost panicked

This tag team combination is going to be the reason why ratings will go up. "Wild Card Rules" = Ingenious / Success

Worried every time Bryan gets hit in the head.......

Bryan has been eating Super Kicks all night

I've had this on in the background, but haven't been really paying too close attention to it.....

Sounds like Usos/Bryan&Rowan was a good match

Oooo I hope they get tag titles made out of recycled paper

I wonder when Sonya is going to break and just tell Mandy that she's attracted to her

Love when they show repeated shots of the crowd silently watching this on the screen to really take me out of it... WWE production team adding their own lil twist to spice these segments up!

I think that one kid was blinking help in Morse code

Missed the first hour, anything interesting happen?

Going by those jackets, Tucker and Otis are now called Solid Tucker and Solid Otis.

Mandy Rose in love with that v-trigger

Crowd barely reacted to Mandy beating Ember. Then again, the women's tag match was nothing special.

I don't have I don't have the words explain just how dumb kairi sane having a ship's wheel instead of a f****** telescope really is

Sounds pretty garbage to me.

That was awkward as hell

I’d do unforgivable things for a night with Mandy Rose. Like watching Raw and SmackDown every week.

I'm hoping he mispoke

Vince is kind of pathetic he f****** Pats himself on the back for an award no one's ever heard of

Is Black trying to audition for the role of the Rambling Rabbit on Bray's creepy kids show?

Been rambling way too much in his promos ever since he split with Ricochet.

Nice of Kofi to finally remember he's supposed to defend the WWE title on the Blue brand and not on the Red brand.

Smackdown really is such a better show.

If U think about it, it isn't really that much different... like this episode doesn't necessarily seem "good" to me... but I agree that it just seems better for some reason and is way easier to watch... Prob the obvious two hour thing mainly. But also seems more "organized" and planned out.

The two hours for sure, but it also doesn't have any extended garbage segments. No Lucha House Party, No Way Jose, Baron Corbin, ect.

Styles picked a terrible time to take a mid-match nap.

Main event was pretty good overall.

Just 2 pages?

1 page an hour? Gotta love the 6:05 Superpodcast Shirt in the front row.

THE MOTHERSHIP

She has had those in the past too.

You'd think someone who listened to Brian Last would be smart enough to not attend one of these shows.

Haha, I heard that WWE already broke their rule with the wild card thing and had the wrong amount of people appear on the show. Outstanding, if true.

This and cutting to the crowd after a false finish (trying to find a "reaction shot" instead of showing the wrestler's shock) drive me nuts.

That segment with Matt Hardy, R-Truth and Lars Sullivan was absolutely terrible.

"He's right there", while standing there waiting for Truth. Fucks sake. Is WWE's target audience still children?

Read the results, happy I didn't watch.

After Mania I was looking forward to a definitive brand split, tired of people showing up on both shows. Now that's just gonna continue, don't think I'll be watching anymore.

you say that every week

I fell asleep during SD and didn't feel like even checking to see what I missed until a few minutes ago. Usually I try to catch up via YT clips if I fall asleep but after RAW this week it's like enough of my fandom has slipped I didn't even care to do that.

The 'wild card' era seems like it will be the same lack of stories/character but the same people appearing on both shows.

WWE also seems less interested in the women all of a sudden now that Ron-Ron is gone-gone.

I think they maybe had 15 minutes of screentime between 5 hours of tv (if even that).

lol, I see what you did.

Clearly Tag teams count as one person

Tag teams aren't people according to Vince

In terms of in-ring stuff, ended up being slightly less than 3 minutes total based on a tally someone made elsewhere.

Pretty much was an open secret after a while that WWE was only interested in Ronda in order to squeeze more money out of their tv deals and never had any real long term plans for her. They signed her for 3 years not because they actually wanted her around for that long but because that's just the length for a minimum WWE contract.

AJ Styles, Sami Zayn, The Usos and The Miz. That’s 5 people and 4 “entities.” Wasn’t it supposed to be 3?

“The Miz doesn’t count as he was there without permission”

So what’s the point of the wild card rule if wrestlers can be there without permission?

Welcome to WWE @ Noid

This is all mounting as to why no one is going to tune back in.

I think he went with his son or daughter.

I would disown my children if they became WWE fans.
