Re: WWE SmackDown Discussion II
They still use local jobbers when they want to feature their stars that week that have nothing to do. I'd expect Braun to occasionally get jobbers more often because they don't always know what to do with him every week.

Almas go through them instead of an old fashioned jobber.
After the "Dream Match" that was a complete dud at WrestleMania... Styles vs. Nakurmara matches keep on
getting better and better each time as they develop more chemistry. They indeed could have a classic
match soon if given enough time but not sure it will happen at Money In The Bank if it's a heavy gimmick
match which it looks like it's going in that direction.
i think we actually could use some more jobber matches to be honest. It would keep things a little more fresh. Like why not have like Seth Rollins beat a jobber once in a while? That way you can feature him without using anything up. We need that especially now where things get stale way too fast
Why not use the jobbers they already have but never use like Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Mike Kanellis,
Apollo Crews, Ty Dillenger, The Colons, R-Truth etc?

I think because he got Maria pregnant when they just hired him and started to push him killing the gimmick
and apparently he was out of shape.

They also put him in rehab a month after he debuted too for a drug problem he had while in tna and roh

This, the guy has tons of potential and maria has come a far way on the mic herself

Re: WWE SmackDown Discussion II
Yeah, Mike had that drug issue that Marie didn't even know about. So his TV time was cut immediately and sent to rehab. Very happy that he was able to get that under control because I believe he was even in the hospital a few times because of it? If I recall correctly.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.
"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

Yup that too... Got off to a real rocky first impression as a new hire gonna be tough for him to recover from that.
To his credit he looked like he was in the best shape of his career at the Greatest Royal Rumble but he does kind
of look like Curt Hawkins.

Re: WWE SmackDown Discussion II
Yeah, I think he blew his chance to be anything other than a jobber by ending up in rehab so soon after being signed. Didn't help that, as you guys have mentioned, his wife got pregnant at around the same time and killed their gimmick in the process.

I mean honestly Bennett was never going to be a main eventer. I did have hopes that he could be a mid card heel like the Miz though.

Re: WWE SmackDown Discussion II
Like you guys have said Bennett had the drug issues and Maria got pregnant. But even if that didn't happen, I'm not sure this works because I don't know if Vince and JBL (he was still part of the broadcast booth when they debuted) got where the heat in this gimmick was. JBL kept mentioning that he took her last name and I think those two thought that's where the heat was because by doing that we should look at them and him negatively in some way. When I think its pretty clear that the real heat in that relationship was that they're that couple that is wayyyy too into each other

Re: WWE SmackDown Discussion II
Did WWE forget they called up Sanity? Or they just waiting for MITB to be over so they can feud with the New Day?
Why didn't they just wait till after MITB to call up Sanity and AOP since they seem to have no plans for them. They
could've been on NXT this whole time and have a match a NXT Takeover before being called up.
Meanwhile jobber tag-teams like The Good Brothers and the B-Team are getting future tag-tittle matches

SD >>> Raw at this point, i really don't think it's close. Raw has Rollins, Owens, and Braun, and SD has much deeper talent even though raw has an extra hour.

Re: WWE SmackDown Discussion II
Rumor was Sainty will feud with BB immediately but that hasn't happened so who knows? Maybe they use Sainty to start the New Day split?

The new day split couldn't be anymore overdue. They've been so ridiculous with basically everything past the trumpet.

Doubtful. Fox doesn't offer 3 hours of primetime Mon-Fri. They offer it on Sat. They schedule the news in the third hour and always have

Pretty sure the only reason they haven't split already is because they move crazy merch.

Re: WWE SmackDown Discussion II
I'd really like to see Kofi hold the Smackdown Title for the summer, the potential matchups would be great. Nakamura, Styles, DB, Samoa Joe, Woods and/or BigE.
