April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796675 Yeah, other than Miz/Maryse and Bliss I won't really miss anyone who moved. I don't hate Wyatt the way some people do, but I can do without the cheesy supernatural stuff and the Orton feud has definitely run it's course. Ambrose is totally hit and miss these days and seems to be going through the motions half the time. I like Slater but he's so low on the card it doesn't really matter. With Nakamura and who it looks like SD is getting (Owens, New Day, Charlotte, Sami) they'll be more than ok
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796699 Charlotte/Becky!!! YAY! Im going to Smackdown tonight in the Real Garden (Boston Garden) with my mom. She likes the "Good Day" so she will be excited to see them. Kevin Owens is so lame. Sami Zayn sucks. But they are replacing people I don't care about. I just cant stand Nerd Video Game wrestling anymore. At least we are getting AJ vs Orton. It is gonna be GLORIOUS!
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796704 It truly was a special time, wasn't it? Now Mauro is gone, the entire division is meaningless SHADES OF SATORU SAYAMA!!!
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796705 GOOD LORD IS ORTON/WYATT OVER? Hey, when he showed up on the Titantron, Wyatt done popped that crowd.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796707 The rest of Raw should have been Braun tipping over every new vehicle they try to put Roman on to get him out of there. "Quick Braun's gone, we can escape on the ice cream truck! Hurr-" "BRAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!" Okay, that made me laugh out loud at my desk. Everybody else in this stupid training course I am taking just turned around to look at me like I'm crazy. Apparently you're not supposed to laugh out loud when reviewing company training policies.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796708 Going the 1997 DDP direction I guess Reigns is going to sleep with Eric Bischoff's wife?
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796713 Anyone else get the feeling with all the surprise moves (and by that I mean not letting us know beforehand who's moving and just having them show up) that they're trying to recreate the "anything can happen" feeling of the Monday Night Wars tm era?
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796714 It truly was a special time, wasn't it? Now Mauro is gone, the entire division is meaningless SHADES OF SATORU SAYAMA!!! "Who wrestled as the original Tiger Mask and had several classics with the Dynamite Kid in Japan." Even that goofy fanboy markout commentary from Mauro was endearing. I'll miss it. As for Perkins, I certainly can't argue with the poster who was there live, or the other posters who thought there was 8-10 wrestlers in the tournament who were better, because that's true too - but it felt like a special star-making moment on TV, and it was, especially with Perkins' weird but touching speech about the key around his neck. Like I said originally though, all of that lasted about five minutes before 205 Live and the entire Cruiserweight division slid into immediate irrelevancy.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796722 Metalik has been wrestling on Main Event but not Raw or 205 for whatever reason
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796723 He's learning how to work the WWE style aka the only style that matters.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796718 Felt like a last resort option instead of star making moment to me. TJP only won because they couldn't get Ibushi or ZSJ to sign and Metalik still had dates for CMLL and can't speak English.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796719 Speaking of which, what the heck ever happened to Gran Metalik? IMO, he was one of the brightest spots and breakout stars of the CWC, and they claimed he had signed with WWE afterward, but I don’t recall having seen him on Raw any time recently. (He may have been on 205 Live but I can’t bring myself to watch that show on a regular basis.) If they have Gran Metalik, they should use him a hell of a lot more. He may not speak English but he was awesome. I’d way rather see him over boring ass Drew Gulak or ol’ Big Head Tony Nese, both of whom seem to make it onto Raw all the damn time. Or over Noam Dar, for that matter.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796735 As someone who only watches sd this part one has been good. Lost a few good takents but got rid of some talents that brought the show down. AJ staying, when everybody saying ge was gone, is huge.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796744 Losing Dean Ambrose is just a net positive for Smackdown anyway you slice it, in my book. Although I really don't want to see The New Day Show up on Smackdown and clog that show up with their tired, unfunny shtick. Alexa Bliss moving will be cancelled out by Smackdown getting another women in return. I think losing Mickie is a positive for Smackdown as well. Plus, of course, Smackdown kept Styles. So this all seems like good stuff to me.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796757 So last year Braun Strowman went from tagging with Erick Rowan on Superstars to becoming the Lord and savior of wrestling overnight. There's always somebody that comes out of nowhere to benefit from these things. Any guesses who it is this year?
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796772 Zayn and Owens on the same show yet again. Kinda pointless doing a switch up if we end up with all the same feuds again just with different coloured ropes.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796775 Zayn and Owens on the same show yet again. Kinda pointless doing a switch up if we end up with all the same feuds again just with different coloured ropes. Any time this happens, I always remember the famous quote of "We are destined to do this forever" and then just kinda smile about it instead of getting upset about it.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796776 Okay, so if Jericho wins he goes to SD. I guess it's a way to avoid KO/Zayn being locked on the god damn same brand again.
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796777 Isn't Jericho taking off to do his rock star cosplay again though? So he's bound to jobbing on the way out
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796778 Okay, so if Jericho wins he goes to SD. I guess it's a way to avoid KO/Zayn being locked on the god damn same brand again. But I don't want Jericho on Smackdown!
April 11, 20178 yr comment_5796780 TBH I don't want Jericho in a wrestling ring altogether. Not sure about his schedule, though - is it feasible to have him win and then pass it on the following SD?
