Wow there's a thread this week? And I'm actually home on a Friday night to watch it for a change because of the flu? This'll be awesome, well better than just watching it without a thread and the flu :P
I think it might be time to unify the belts soon seeing as how they have devalued the WHC so much lately. They can always split them up later. The WHC is falling at a faster rate than the IC title.
Yea and they can switch off on highlighting the US IC and Tag Titles on Smackdown each week which could do wonders for building credibility for those champions.
What was going on with the commentary? "Why does Big E always look so confused? Hahaha I see him sometimes he always looks confused"... wtf kind of shit is that to say?
Big E has a lot of untapped potential. His personality is as strong as his moves, believe it or not. As long as he doesn't shake someone's hand the wrong way, he's going to be scary good in a year or two
Big E. will get over huge when he turns face. He was awesome as a face in NXT and really would have done more with the same initial push than Ryback received.
We've spent a ton of money developing you, you are very over whenever we use you, so lets just transition you into being a commentator at the age of 32 . . .
For some reason, that friggin' theme song could pop a crowd no matter what. It's catchy. But, yeah, Riley is being put out to pasture a bit prematurely. I'd really like to see someone like Christian in a new wave Ventura/Lawler role
Seriously.. they literally have at least a dozen retired wrestlers still under contract that could do a better job at commentary than Alex. I liked him in his underdog role and he is wasted in this role.. SMH
Am I wrong or shouldn't they at least have put Dolph Ziggler in this match??? Might not win, but at least it would keep him at that upper level of jobber.
If Riley is going to be a commentator, can they can at least give his awesome entrance music to another wrestler? Give it to Barrett, so he can FINALLY stick to a theme.

ReplyDeleteGuess I'm talking to myself tonight. Might they finally unify the titles at Summerslam through Orton?
ReplyDeleteIt's okay. My girlfriend is working the night shift and I'm too exhausted to think of something productive to do. So...yeah, it's Smackdown time
ReplyDeleteI haven't read spoilers... is Orton going to be the guy?
ReplyDeleteI haven't read spoilers either so I dunno.
ReplyDeleteI think it might be time to unify the belts soon seeing as how they have devalued the WHC so much lately. They can always split them up later. The WHC is falling at a faster rate than the IC title.
ReplyDeleteYea and I guess Orton's as good a guy as anyone to do it.
ReplyDelete"Sin Cara is set to light up the ring tonight" - Irony or Mockery?
ReplyDeleteThey don't really have the depth of a roster to justify the Brand Extension, Time to unify.
ReplyDeleteSay what you want... Big E always knows how to face the right camera with his finisher.
ReplyDeleteYea and they can switch off on highlighting the US IC and Tag Titles on Smackdown each week which could do wonders for building credibility for those champions.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of Big E, he just oozes charisma and knows how to work for a big guy.
ReplyDeleteWhat was going on with the commentary? "Why does Big E always look so confused? Hahaha I see him sometimes he always looks confused"... wtf kind of shit is that to say?
ReplyDeleteYea I vaguely heard that, no idea, I think it's just about how AJ can control him or something?
ReplyDelete"How AJ control him or something?"
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's THAT complex. I think i know how she does it.
Big E has a lot of untapped potential. His personality is as strong as his moves, believe it or not. As long as he doesn't shake someone's hand the wrong way, he's going to be scary good in a year or two
ReplyDeletePrince called it "Pu--y Control"
ReplyDeleteKaitlyn...where badly acting badly on purpose is possible
ReplyDeleteBig E. will get over huge when he turns face. He was awesome as a face in NXT and really would have done more with the same initial push than Ryback received.
ReplyDeleteHe's got a little Monty Brown in him.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteI liked Monty and it was too bad he left the business to care for the kids of his sister.
Alex Riley should not be doing commentary. Ever. I never thought I'd miss Booker T... and that's saying a lot...

ReplyDeleteAnyone else ever see Wrong Side of Town starring RVD? Very fun and campy, RVDs a bad actor but very entertaining in his badness.
ReplyDeleteIs that the one with Batista in a supporting role?
ReplyDeleteYea watched it on Netflix
ReplyDeleteSeriously.. they literally have at least a dozen retired wrestlers still under contract that could do a better job at commentary than Alex. I liked him in his underdog role and he is wasted in this role.. SMH
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too. Right out of the 80's action genre. I agree--surprisingly fun...which I can't say for all of HHH's or most of Austin's movies
ReplyDeleteThey really need to just sit Nash at the announcers table one of these days.
ReplyDeleteNash + Mic = Ratings! (If he's not neutered by the PTB)
ReplyDeleteAJ's got it going on. The intense and almost erotic "restholds," the mannerisms, the moveset...
ReplyDeleteAre they giving this a half hour? If so, maybe I can stop spacing out
ReplyDeleteAm I wrong or shouldn't they at least have put Dolph Ziggler in this match??? Might not win, but at least it would keep him at that upper level of jobber.
ReplyDeleteAlex Riley is fucking atrocious. Just an awful, awful wrestler.
ReplyDeleteWow...snuffy vs the shark sure was a squash.
ReplyDeleteMonty Brown should have been the next Rock.
ReplyDeleteI'd actually put her as the best female wrestler in the Americas. Certainly the most over.
ReplyDeleteOh, and this https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BQkIB2UCQAA941r.jpg:large

I have no idea what's going on...but damn. No, not damn. DAYUMN!
He was over with the crowd though, that's what matters most of the time in wrestling.
ReplyDeleteDamn those Randy Orton counters were dope! I'm hoping this leads to an RVd/Orton match at SummerSlam!!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which... that powerslam counter to the rolling thunder was badass.
ReplyDeleteIf Riley is going to be a commentator, can they can at least give his awesome entrance music to another wrestler? Give it to Barrett, so he can FINALLY stick to a theme.
ReplyDeleteDisagree.
ReplyDeleteI think reliability and safety are way more important.
Fuck, Orton's over.
Can't believe they wasted that on a Smackdown show.. I'm guessing they will have a rematch on Raw and he'll pull it out again..
ReplyDeleteHe's putting the prissy on a pedestal.
ReplyDelete
