Smackdown spoilers for 1/7/15
Supposedly all the hype for Smackdown's new home and changes just ended up being a new announcer getting added. Everything else (ex. theme, graphics, stage, etc) is the same as before.

Dunno what this "SciFi" is that you speak of, Was on SyFy.
![]() P.S. -- Shisen, if you're out there reading this, definitely tape this week. You can show your grandchildren the USA(#1) network premiere of SD! (in full low-res VHS, no less!) when you accidentally mention the show during an Old Man Shisen story and they give you blank looks because the show doesn't exist anymore. |

Some more details spoilers from last night. Seems like Ziggler might be turning heel or the WWE completely forgot what they wrote earlier in the show based on the post-show match.

Mauro Ranallo... I wouldn't have seen that coming.
On the surface that sounds like a good idea, but he can talk a lot. I don't know if this going to work in the long run. |

Most of the reception I've seen from people who saw Smackdown early have had very positive things to say. Guess most of the rest of us will find out tomorrow.

Like Ranallo. Really liked his work with NJPW on AXIS to. Just sounds like an announcer and actually calls the match.

When did mauro ranallo start commentating for WWE?
I think he is one of the best play by play guys in combat sports. Is he still with Showtime? |

Started tonight on Smackdown. Really wish he was on Raw. Think he still gets to do the Showtime gig to with his deal.

I kinda thought he would replace Rogan on UFC in August if Rogan actually retires, but assumed Zuffa couldn't match the Showtime money. Good for him on getting a solid second gig. I hope he replace Cole on RAW and PPV. He is a million times better IMO.

From what I've heard from him on the WWE App, he seems to do really well. Wonder how much Vince would mess with him if he was on Raw though. Smackdown is kind of under the cover of darkness, even still.

Going to have to watch this. Be nice to have a WWE show with good commentary.
Eh, it was a panic dark match with no Cena as advertised. I wouldn't read too much into it. |

Didn't get to see the show on Wednesday due to other commitments, but want to hear Mauro on commentary. Happy he's getting a shot at a dream job.
Interesting reading the spoilers. The online bloggers were saying no major stars would be on Smackdown, but Cena was there. But hey, I'm trying to leave 2015 debates in 2015. Jericho going to be on the show going forward is cool. |

He was definitely more along his attitude era, early 2000s persona, standing up for Charlotte/Flair, shitting on Becky's indie career, generally justifying/rationalizing things.
I wouldn't say he was full on heel Lawler again, but he had an edge and some personality again. |

Mauro Ranallo and heel Jerry Lawler could be a great team together.
