WWE SmackDown Discussion II

I don't know what to think about Goldberg going over Fiend. It sounds like a stupid idea on their part but that didn't stop the WWE from doing the same thing to white hot Owens. Goldberg (who is rumored to also be working WM) doesn't seem like a guy that would stick around to keep being beat. Goldberg v Reigns at Mania would be a Vince McMahon wet dream.

Wow this can happen. Something like Fiend squashing Goldberg, punishing him outside the ring. When he tosses him inside, Taker's gong hits and he appears on the stage. They stare each other down, Fiend maniacally laughing until he gets counted out.

Of course stipulation should be any loss, not just via pin and submission, Bray can lose the title. Too obvious though

Otis is on track to be the biggest babyface the wrestling world has ever seen

His, "OH YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!" is really funny, simple, and effective

Yesterday Smackdown was in Vancouver, where I live (first time we've had a televised event in...I don't even know how long. Ever?) I didn't go, but watched it on TV, and man am I glad I didn't go.

Three matches in two hours, one of which was Sheamus squashing Apollo Crews and Shorty G, and another one was a truly awful 30-minute(!) snoozefest between Bayley and Carmella. The main event had its moments and the Sami/Cesaro bit was amusing, but yikes. I'd have been mighty annoyed if I'd shelled out for an event and most of the best parts were watching pre-recorded scenes on a TV screen.

Good episode of Smackdown.
The skits were really good imo.

Thought tonights episode was about as bad as you can get. Recently in an interview Nick Aldis referred to WWE as
"Nickelodeon Wrestling" and Jon Moxley just referred to WWE as "Broadway" and I totally saw it with all the singing
and instruments and dancing didn't feel like it was PG felt like it was a straight up kids show with Days of our Lives
Otis/Mandy/Ziggler storyline thrown in there.

I had high hopes for Smackdown going on FOX but it still feels like the "B" show to me and I really don't like their roster
after the brand split. Most of the acts I don't like or find boring are all on this show.

Goldberg being back is exciting but if the end game is him vs. RR at WM with Reigns winning i am not interested.

Goldberg losing to Lesnar? Np
Goldberg losing to Undertaker? Np
Goldberg losing to Reigns? - That would be a career embarrassment IMO.

More fuel to the Goldberg over Fiend rumors. Apparently all of SmackDown's WM plans have changed.

Mella was really bad - just too many sloppy moments. I'll be honest - I'm entertained by Bayley's character - even if nobody else is. I have no idea why they're pushing Sheamus. The Shorty G thing is such a waste of talent and I'm guessing makes no sense to anyone but Vince.

Fiend pointing was weird

Now i'm convined the only reason Pritchard ever got anywhere in the business is by being a yes man cause my god that smackdown was attrocious.

Heavy Machinery went over The New Day, Miz and Morrison (why the hell did Morrison come back) and the Usos. Are you kidding me.

Also Bayley and Sasha Banks, two of the best women in the company need to win via rollup against the evergreen Lacey Evans and midcarder for life Naomi.

I mean, at least Apollo Crews was on the show i guess.

Also more nostalgia...... seriously this company is going to die, or at least downsize badly because they've failed to build ANY stars (Roman is getting to be on par with Lex Luger for massive failed pushes, Rollins failed miserably in the position so badly they had to turn him heel as well).

Otis is the most over man in the company.

Fans aren't blameless in the fall of the WWE shows. No matter who the WWE chose to be their top face, fans wouldn't accept that person. It's bad enough that they wouldn't accept Roman, but not accepting Rollins was proof of that problem. The "they forced him down our throats" excuse went way too far, and fans got far too self-righteous about it.

They should just have The New Day in attendance for these empty arena shows

JohnPferdelack · Post #1556 » by **JohnPferdelack** » Sat Mar 14, 2020 12:43 am

They show the EC-match...(ppv) on a weekly show...

That Cena promo was straight fire. He really is the GOAT. @ me all you want.

Post #1558 » by **Stanford** » Sat Mar 14, 2020 2:41 am

I have a spreadsheet from 2016 that shows you ranked Cena behind Austin, Hogan, The Rock and Randy Savage. I won't @ you though.

I had him first, by the way :wink:

in my eyes, it was under these circumstances a good show. but nevertheless, i don't think it is good for a lengthy peroid of time.

WRau1 · Post #1560 » by **WRau1** » Sat Mar 14, 2020 3:03 am

Cena Wyatt promo was amazing. This build is going to be great.
