i am more hyped for the impact thing tomorow then backlash

Emperor Smeat 05-14-2021 10:02 PM

Jimmy Uso vs. Cesaro was pretty good despite the DQ finish.

Whelp can scratch off Cesaro's name from the potential winners list at Mania Backlash since he just got hit with the WWE PPV go-home curse the moment he managed to beat up Reigns and both Usos almost with ease to close out the show.

This week's Mania Backlash go-home show was enjoyable and a way better effort than what RAW did earlier this week.

Even after just one match together, Jiro and Grey seem like they were born to be tag team partners, as each Superstar seemingly relishes the chance to compete against some of the best Cruiserweights in the world and do so with a considerable amount of pizazz.

In fact, when the duo defeated Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari in Jiro’s debut match, the eccentric newcomer never removed his flashy yellow jacket, and he and The Life of the Party left the WWE Universe clamoring for more.

On Friday, they’ll attempt to go 2-0 as a unit on the purple brand when they take on The Bollywood Boyz, seasoned veterans of 205 Live and former 24/7 Champions.

Additionally, two other 205 Live rookies will take centerstage when the highflying Sterling collides with the rebellious Hale.

Sterling claimed an eye-opening win in his debut match on the purple brand when he took down Samir Singh before being bested by Nese in last week’s barnburner.

Primed for his second match on 205 Live, Hale is looking for another victory after defeating Daivari with a surprise rollup.

Don’t miss what is certain to be an exciting edition of 205 Live, streaming on Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!

:lol: at Sami's expression for this week's show preview image. Like The 40 Year Old Virgin film poster type vibes.

Emperor Smeat 05-21-2021 08:05 PM

This is one very cringey opening to a WWE show and possible of all-time in WWE history.

WWE somehow managed to find a very lame way to hold a "Parade of Champs" moment and big announcement of fans returning to shows.

Thank goodness Paul Heyman & Bayley salvaged it a bit in the end.

erickman 05-21-2021 08:11 PM

ug the return of the nia beast

Emperor Smeat 05-21-2021 08:26 PM

6-Woman tag match was mostly decent.

Natty & Tamina about to learn quickly why being a champ in WWE is usually a bad thing since that submission loss is just the first of many they likely are going to have as Women's Tag champs.

Emperor Smeat 05-21-2021 08:36 PM

Guess Aleister Black is now a demon I think based on that new vignette.

erickman 05-21-2021 08:40 PM

wow was that the old spice dude

Emperor Smeat 05-21-2021 08:41 PM

Rik Bugez got another name change in WWE. Now he's known as Rick Boogs.

Him playing a guitar solo of Nakamura's theme was cool.

:lol: at McAfee and Cole trying to rock out to Bugez's rendition of Nakamura's theme though.

Emperor Smeat 05-21-2021 08:49 PM

:lol: at Namakura needing a distraction from Boogs just to be able to beat Corbin.

Emperor Smeat 05-21-2021 09:07 PM

Rollins not a fan of Cesaro asking for another Universal title shot.

Add him to the list of people who should visit Dr. Shelby soon to sort out his anger issues.

Going to assume Cesaro owes Rollins money since he got the crap beaten out of him again.

Emperor Smeat 05-21-2021 09:13 PM

Whelp Rollins went off the deep end. Not even Dr. Shelby can fix him.

Emperor Smeat 05-21-2021 09:27 PM

Angelo Dawkins not fond of Luigi from the Super Mario Bros based on that shade or diss he did during the Street Profits promoo.

#1-norm-fan 05-21-2021 09:52 PM

Sami Zayn not looking at the camera in that graphic is the best thing I’ve seen from WWE in a while.

Emperor Smeat 05-21-2021 09:56 PM

Yikes at Owens getting spiked on his neck from Zayn's half nelson suplex.

Emperor Smeat 05-21-2021 09:59 PM

Aleister Black now has Fiend-like powers although at least his looks cooler than Bray and Bliss' spooky powers.

IC title 4-way title match was very good until it went to an abrupt halt via Black's spooky shenanigans.

This week's show was pretty entertaining overall.

He must have never played Super Mario Bros 2, Luigi was vastly superior to Mario in that game!

does black look cool enough to join decay, nothing is cooler then that dude with a bull headed mask.

Emperor Smeat 05-22-2021 02:44 AM

He'd probably fit right in with that group now.

Appearance wise, nothing really changed from before except he had a hoodie as part of his entrance attire.

screech 05-22-2021 03:56 PM

Thought there was a technical problem when Black came out during the main event.

screech 05-22-2021 03:56 PM

Show was good though

Asher Hale to battle Tony Nese

Asher Hale, who recently accomplished his goal of making it to WWE after a 14-year trek, has turned some heads early in his purple brand tenure. Following an extremely intense battle against Ari Sterling last week, in which he came up just short, the rebellious Superstar has an opportunity get back in the win column with a one-on-one matchup against Tony Nese.

Never one to hide his disdain for rookies, Nese seems certain to be in a foul mood when he locks horns with the exciting Hale. Will Hale be able to overcome the events of last week or will The Premier Athlete come away with the win.

Ari Sterling to take on Ariya Daivari

Ari Sterling is still getting acclimated to being a member of the WWE 205 Live roster. Although he defeated Asher Hale last week, the week before that Sterling came up short against 205 Live OG Tony Nese. Now Sterling has another opportunity with an OG in Ariya Daivari.

In a clash of styles, Daivari’s ground and pound offense will go head-to-head against The Sauce’s aerial assault. The Persian Lion, who has endured a recent losing streak, has yet to meet a fresh face that he didn’t despise, and that trend seems likely to continue when he collides with Sterling.

Don’t miss a thrilling edition of 205 Live, streaming this Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!

Luigi's streak of his name being uttered during a WWE show lives on.

If things continue, only a matter of time before people will be saying someone is the "Luigi" of a tag team instead of being the "Jannety."

Emperor Smeat 05-28-2021 08:34 PM

Been noticing that Pat McAfee has the same habit Mauro Ranallo used to have when it came to calling NXT shows.

While someone like Cole is always sitting during matches and is more mellow in his movements, McAfee is a lot more energetic and likes to hop out of his seat a lot whenever he sees something interesting happens in the ring.

Like a good part of this Usos vs. Street Profits match is just him standing and swaying around while he calls some of the action.

Emperor Smeat 05-28-2021 08:36 PM

Holy shit at that leap Montez Ford did over the ring post.

Emperor Smeat 05-28-2021 08:40 PM

Usos vs. Street Profits was very good, especially the latter half of it. Probably could have been a few minutes shorter since it had to deal with 2 commercial break interruptions.

Emperor Smeat 05-28-2021 08:45 PM

Guess WWE finally remembered Smackdown's women's tag division is more than just Natty & Tamina and Nia & Shayna.

First time Riott Squad is wrestling as a team since Mania 37 and first time on SD since late February according to Cagematch.com

Emperor Smeat 05-28-2021 08:50 PM

Holy shit at Ruby's neck landing hard on the bottom rope.

Not sure if Tamia gave a little extra on that whack to her back or Ruby just overshot the sell.

Also the tag match was meh but at least it was something new for the Women's tag division.

Emperor Smeat 05-28-2021 09:06 PM

:lol: Cole calling Bianca "Belanca"

Almost choked on my drink when he said that outta nowhere. Even got Bayley to crack on commentary when he said it.

Papa Shango must have put a recent curse on Bianca's matches since Cole has botched the ending calls way too much recently.

Emperor Smeat 05-28-2021 09:28 PM

:| IC title match ends via DQ.

Was wondering when WWE was going to bust out their trademark "disappointing finish to a match that was actually getting interesting" routine.

Tonight's show has been somewhat downhill ever since the Usos vs. Street Profits match.

screech 05-29-2021 12:37 PM

Starting this now. Let's see how long my kid stays asleep

screech 05-29-2021 12:37 PM

Also watching the full version because the Hulu cut isn't up yet

screech 05-29-2021 12:40 PM

I love how timid Jey is with Roman. Really sells the whole gimmick.

screech 05-29-2021 12:41 PM

"The Street Profits just love to have fun!" I expect Cole to yell this at some point, per tradition.

screech 05-29-2021 12:44 PM

lol Ford doing the dances and war chant

screech 05-29-2021 12:48 PM

V good prematch promo from both teams

My kid just shit his pants. I hope that's not an omen for this match
