Posted April 24, 20178 yr comment_5797991 So, today we'll have a dumpster match. BRAAAAAAAAAAAAUN is going to provide some TV greatness, as usual.
April 24, 20178 yr comment_5798020 PPV is Sunday so we're going to have all the cliffhanger stuff, so I expect Roman to stand tall tonight.
April 25, 20178 yr comment_5798042 It's still amazing to me that an angle that started in TNA (the Hardys' collecting gold) managed to go to Mexico, random Carolina indies, ROH, and got blown off at Wrestlemania.
April 25, 20178 yr Author comment_5798055 Sasha might've had her best promos in a while and it's all because she hates Alexa for real. Still, Bliss smoked her and Bayley by herself. Go figure. Also Miz's partner better be someone great. No fucking way I am watching Ambrose and Jericho in the same match ever again.
April 25, 20178 yr comment_5798056 They're never going to have Sasha turn on Bayley because they need her to cut Bayley's promos for her every week
April 25, 20178 yr comment_5798104 I got Kalisto in this one. Called It! Win is a win.... kind of....
April 26, 20178 yr comment_5798151 Having Dolph come out to call Nak a freak pedo and then have Nak cut a promo in exaggerated Japanese to WHAT chants is certainly a great way to start off the Nak era of SD.
April 26, 20178 yr comment_5798152 Is it me or does Nak have some sort of speech impediment? Not the obvious non English speaking thing, but it sounds like he always has something in his mouth when he talks. I thought it was the mouthpiece he always wears getting in the way, but he wasn't wearing it when he did his NXT goodbye speech and it still was there? I can see that becoming a sticking point in WWE since they get hung up on stuff like that.
April 26, 20178 yr comment_5798153 He has a bit of a lisp even when speaking Japanese if that's what you mean.
April 26, 20178 yr comment_5798177 LOL at JBL being named the new co-host of Talking Smack. WWE troll game on point.
April 26, 20178 yr comment_5798184 When Byron was talking about Booty Os and JBL was smiling politely at him not saying a word you could literally see the gears turning in his head: "I have to be nice, I have to be nice, I have to be nice..." No. 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title Jinder Mahal. No. 1 Contenders for the SD Tag Team Titles Breezango. Heel faction of Natalya, Carmella, Tamina and James Ellsworth standing tall. Smackdown: Revenge of the Jobber
April 27, 20178 yr comment_5798341 As already noted that opening segment comparing Nakamura to Michael Jackson just died a death. It was one of those segments where I felt embarrassed for them. How anyone thought that it was a good way of presenting Nakamura is beyond me. Other than that thought Smackdown was pretty good overall, even if the 'Beat the Clock' stipulation has basically seen diminishing returns since the first time they used it for the Elimination Chamber in 2005 when it worked really well. I enjoyed Naomi vs Charlotte, even if I was waiting for the interference the whole time, but was pleasantly surprised the math got some time before the run ins. I saw someone on Twitter say that they were looking forward to Charlotte and Becky teaming up in the style of Sting and Luger, with Charlotte being face around Becky but a heel the rest of the time and think that could be pretty intriguing. Once Orton/Bray is finally concluded, quite looking forward to where they seem to be heading with some of the programs.
April 27, 20178 yr comment_5798354 I thought using Beat The Clock as a way of making Breezeango #1 contenders without needing to have them beat Usos, American Alpha or The Colons was pretty smart. It's a way to get them a title match but not have to suddenly start having them beating the higher tier teams on Smackdown to get there. It's definitely the right call to not immediately have American Alpha chase the belts again and with New Day out until Kofi's ankle heals they needed kind of a placeholder face team for The Usos to beat.
April 28, 20178 yr comment_5798425 Apparently the July Raw PPV is going to be called...... Great Balls of Fire
April 28, 20178 yr comment_5798427 I wonder who thought this was a good idea, I've already seen non wrestling media stories out just flat laughing at WWE about this.
April 28, 20178 yr Author comment_5798428 Wrestling events having ridiculous sounding names isn't exactly a WWE excluse thing, so I don't see that as bad. Specially if they go the full hog with is and it is a more ridiculous cheesy fun thing.
April 28, 20178 yr comment_5798431 Eh, it's no dumber than "Fastlane" and having the race car sound effects dropping with every graphic.
April 28, 20178 yr comment_5798432 I mean... it kinda is worse for several reasons: 1. LOLBALLZ 2. Referencing a song from the 50s comes off like someone let Grandpa name your PPV. 3. As someone on Twitter noted, you just know despite the name the "official song" is going to be some generic butt rock garbage. 4. It gives ammo to the annoying "WWE is an embarrassment to my precious pro graps" carelords. 5. Recent trends have WWE beating you over the head with PPV names so hearing "GREAT BALLS OF FIRE" shoehorned out of the mouth of everyone on the Raw roster for weeks leading up the show will get old very quick. 6. They did this after moving the New Day to SD. Big E making jokes would have been the only redeeming quality of all this.
