Sell me Smackdown!
 
I've read comments about SD being decent, I haven't watched it for over a year, and mostly forget the spoilers.

What stuff does it have to draw me in? Sell it to me, be a businessman.

Test4champ/Canadiancripper/the other one, you may participate.

<font color=white>£10 a show. I'll download and send it to ya</font

McLegend 11-15-2006 01:28 PM

It has Finlay. If you like wrestling then Finlay is the reason to watch it.

Londoner 11-15-2006 02:06 PM

JBL makes even the worst moments interesting to watch.

Mr. Aristocrat 11-15-2006 03:05 PM

It sucks and is generally filled with fresh OVW meat and a couple of soon to be has-been never quite A-list wrestlers (sans the occasional Unrertaker match). Basically is you like run of the mill average right down the middle of the road wrestling, SmackDown is the show for you!

Londoner 11-15-2006 03:12 PM

^ I think you misunderstood the point of the thread.

RGWhat316 11-15-2006 07:52 PM

I actually think that SD is the better show, and JBL's commentary really makes the show worthwhile.

The wrestling is better on SmackDown. Yes, there are exceptions (Boogeyman, Miz, any of the SD divas...), but as a whole, the actual matches are better on SD.

Kane Knight 11-15-2006 10:43 PM

Watch the fucking show. The worst that happens is you waste two hours you could have spent jerking off.

I know you get winded jerking off Kane Knight, but jeez, even so you should be able to finish up in less then an hour.

Mr. Nerfect 11-15-2006 11:18 PM

Paul London & Brian Kendrick are the WWE Tag Team Champions, and have been for the last few months. Incase you didn't know, Paul London & Brian Kendrick are two of the greatest cruiserweights of all-time.

Gregory Helms and Matt Hardy have been putting on great matches since The Great American Bash PPV, as have almost everyone else on the roster. Chris Benoit, William Regal and Finlay are three veterans who know how to craft a match better than any other.

JBL is the best colour commentator in the business...by far. "It was either Big Dick Johnson or Dusty Rhodes making a comeback". How can you not want to hear that man talk?

Mr. Monday Morning 11-16-2006 04:52 AM

Smackdown actually has wrestling. That should be enough right there.

If you don't love King Bookah and some combination of Regal/Finlay/Benoit beating the piss out of each other then you have no soul.

Also yeah Kendrick & London, who are actually starting to develop characters :y:

St. Jimmy 11-16-2006 08:29 AM

If you liked WCW, watch TNA. If you like the mid-card, watch Smackdown.

Notice how I watch neither.

Yet you watch a show that has lost around a million viewers(raw) in the past year.

Kane Knight 11-16-2006 09:28 AM

DAMN!

That's worse than I thought...

Kane Knight 11-16-2006 09:52 AM

Comparing the data from when I personally started tracking Raw, they're down something like 1.8 million people, and for the first time in ages, they're not on the top ten for last week.

--EDIT--

And yeah, that was about 4 months ago.

Dave Youell 11-16-2006 10:03 AM

Just watch it this week for Regal/London cos Regal does this evil looking belly to back cradle buster type thing, it looks evil

Mr. Monday Morning 11-16-2006 11:18 AM

Sounds like the Regalplex

Yep. I'd rather watch a show that people aren't watching. Hell, I could be the only viewer and I would still like it. If you want to be a lemming and go with the crowd, more power to you. Honestly, Smackdown is terrible. Micheal Cole makes me want to stab him in the god-damned face with a hot knife, Booker is piss boring, Batista can't go anymore, Benoit's in a fued with someone who doesn't have HALF the charm or and charisma his uncle had (and by the way, no clue why Benoit is helping shit on Eddie some more), Kennedy and Taker is fucking boring, since there's NO WAY Taker will put him over at Survivor Series. Not to mention I could care less about Tag Wrestling, A "Strong" mid card, or a bunch of legit jobbers taking up TV time that isn't really necessary.

I don't watch wrestling to watch grown men tie it up and put on a physical specticle. I watch it for the stories, the trash talk, and the whole "WTF" is going to happen next factor. Smackdown lacks this in SO MANY fucking ways. You can take your Londons and Kendricks and shove them in your ass.

If I wanted to watch fucking "WRESTLING" I'd buy ROH tickets and be fucking drooling over Danielson.

Kane Knight 11-16-2006 01:05 PM

Right, but Raw is so WTF. :rofl:

Yes, and if you're looking for that, you're not allowed to have an opinion on wrestling anymore.

Yep, and I look to see USA Network cancelling WWE programming as soon as that happens. :nono:

I'm looking forward to finally seeing Cena as the Trainwreck he is, but definatly looking forward to a much better WWE title scene after this shitfest.

Also, I would love to see Federline completely No-Sell Cena.

Kane Knight 11-16-2006 03:12 PM

So basically, you're delusional, and think this is a gateway to a better main event.

I don't know where the correlation would be in that...

Jokes on you though I don't have a girlfriend! HA!

Oh, now I went and made myself sad.

Arquette was in the ring with some half-way decent workers, to be fair. Do I think a non-wrestling celebrity should ever get in the ring? No. Can I do anything about Kevin Federline in the ring? Also no. So I figure I'll just watch Cena carry his balls around without someone to carry him to a good match, and pray that after he retains, they find someone good for him to fued with until Mania.

kristal is unbelievably hot, thats reason enough to watch

Actually, I was taking the other pole of the concept of stamina. You know, you make it sound like the concept of LASTING is a bad thing. :p

LoL You say everything on smackdown is boring no matter who is on there or what they do, and you admit to nto watching it, so your opinion holds no credibility. Batista has actuallky improving lately btw, Booker T is entertaining and is actually being booked right amazingly, and benoit/Chavo could lead to a really interesting match for the US title. As for kennedy/taker, that's all about getting kennedy over, and i'm excited to see where Kennedy's heading now after he beat down Taker as he reminds me more of what Austin used to be like. I'm pretty sure MVP will cost Taker the match. But look at it like this and compare how many viewers the two shows have lost over the last year in total, then you'll wake up and see for yourself which is better. You don't lose your hardcore fans cause it isn't cool anymore, you lose them due to the show being utter shite. And raw could always guarantee atleast above a 3.0 rating, now they're lucky if they get 2.5.

ROFL :rofl: Lmao..etc...

You St Jimmy, are a retard. Give me one story that raw has booked in an entertaining way. Cena/edge? Nope. Kane/umaga/ Nope. Dx/ mcmahons? Nope. That's about all that's happened on raw this year.

If I wanted to watch big names playing politics and burying the whole roster then I would watch raw.

But yeah anyway, how old are you? 12?? You sound like it. Can't you make your point wihtout saying the word 'fucking'?

Kane Knight 11-16-2006 09:55 PM

Let's be honest. Raw stills gets 3s pretty often. That's the reason I've posted it as though it were news that the ratings have been so consistantly down, but even then it's not much below 3.0, and I don't think I've ever seen it below 2.5.

Londoner 11-16-2006 10:02 PM

Yeah I was exaggerating a bit to make a point. But it might be true within a year or so, lets wait and see.

Kane Knight 11-17-2006 08:16 AM

It might also hit 5.6 within a year.

Besides, if the fans haven't been driven away by K-Fuck, they're too stupid to change the channel, or just too lazy to find the remote...
