Watching SmacKDown

Don't know why WWE still uses photos instead of video for PPV footage recaps.

The money they make from PPV replays was tiny back then and its even more tiny since the Network launched.

here to Cheer on Buddy Murphy

So predictable

No 24/7 title stuff tonight. Whelp that's one less interesting thing for tonight's show.

why is Shane still on tv


go the fuck away

100,000 dollars holla! holla!

this is stupid

Hes freaking out over 100,000 ...hpw much does he make again

I HOPE RICKY, BUBBLES, AND JULIAN ARE WAITING FOR SHANE IN THE PARKING LOT

2 mil last year so i read

That was a very long commercial.

He really is turning into Vince

:lol: at the crowd chanting "Y2J" after Charlotte busted out the Walls of Jericho.

I figured it was some of that neighborhood yeah him bitching over a a hundred thousand is stupid

This is already a better showing for Ember Moon when compared to her match at SummerSlam.

Moon vs Charlotte was very good overall. Better than all of the women's matches at SummerSlam.

There's no even close to Charlotte Flair on the main roster at the moment. I hope they revisit Asuka vs Charlotte in the near future.

Ember Poon

Asuka and Kairi but WWE refuses to put any real spotlight on them even as a tag team.

In terms of promo ability, Becky is arguably at or above Charlotte's level.

<3 Asuka and the pirate

kayfabe for two seconds, dude! these peeps work for peanuts and you know it.

Nice of Bryan to forgive Buddy Murphy for besmirching Rowan's name.

Love a good mystery!!! Big fan of this angle

Joe gonna lay down for Kevin's pin.

evil heel joa samoa

I agree. I'd say Asuka has the personality and raw charisma to match the promo abilities of either Flair or Becky. Also, not a huge fan of the Kabuki Warriors tag team combination.

Is Alexa defending the titles tonight?

I'd laugh if whoever did it invokes Rikishi's line of doing it for The Rock.

Didn't know that Murphy had new music.

Black wouldn't have a hard time finding someone to fight if he didn't keep locking himself away in some random room each week.

Love how they saved Roman Reigns' appearance for Smackdown Live.

Buddy Murphy is really good imo

Was super invested in that. Great way for Buddy to finally have a Smackdown match.

Is Fredo offensive? I personally liked the character.

Murphy is going hard

If Buddy becomes a huge star, Alexa will want him back. She's probably brewing some good turd for him

Reigns vs. Murphy was great.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if WWE quickly went right back to ignoring Murphy instead of using tonight as the start of something bigger for him.

:lol: Big E

every week Tom Phillips' voice and forced way of speaking becomes more grating to me

commercial breaks seem really short... like 1 min long...

This match makes no sense. Vince must have been on the shitter when Joe was getting character development

:eek: Joe won a big match for once.

:lol: at Bryan threatening to send Murphy back to RAW for lying about Rowan.

Orton vs. Kofi was the second worst match on SummerSlam, don't want to see it again and again...

Another peep needs to join the OC. Tired of these 3 man factions

Sasha should join the OC

maybe the B team as the jobers

Every stable or group should have at least 4 guys especially if they are heels.

Heels surrounding the ring to prevent an escape always looked dumb when there was one side left wide open. Made the person getting beaten up look just as dumb in the end since he/she could have easily escaped to fool those plans.

6-man tag match was pretty good overall. WWE still lazy as hell when it comes to having champs constantly lose non-title matches as the way to set up title matches the majority of the time.

If it’s not Luke Harper, everybody dies

So Lance Archer as Plan B?

Should have some quality free time lying around now that he's done with the G1.

this

Get on the Truvada, ya'll

Ouch at Tozawa getting busted open from the ring post.

:lol: at Gallagher botching the pinfall.

Put his foot on the rope to break the pin and then quickly removed it since he remembered he wasn't supposed to kick out. Ref didn't even bother to notice his foot since that was the actual finish.

Lorcan vs Gulak was pretty good overall.

205 Live has been a pretty enjoyable show these past few months.

Ember's done.

And tonight's match was apparently to decide the #1 contender for Clash of the Champions. Charlotte always gets back at anyone who's ever one-upped her.

Fuck. We're back to the status quo.

Or he could just let the Fiend in

I thought for sure Shane was going to take Owens out of KOTR as punishment after his promo about wanting to win it so bad. If KOTR final is Raw vs SD it's obvious it should be Owens vs McIntyre

Show overall was good. But it seemed to tail off

I was a big fan of this episode. Buddy Murphy and Daniel Bryan being the highlights.

Harper is retired irl correct?

He wasn’t granted his release and ended up working Donavan Dijak at Axxess / World’s Collide. He was last seen during the ATGM Battle Royal.
