Rollins to SD -

The Mysterios to SD -

What a slap for the SD Women's Champion that she wasn't drafted lol. Excited for Bianca and Seth though

Lars Sullivan looks like a monster. Loved that segment. But I also noticed that they Keith Lee'd him. Starts out briefly with the beginning of his original music, but then it changes to some generic crap. His entrance music was great and fit him. Leave the damn music alone Vince. If it ain't broke don't fix it

They really don't care about tag teams, do they?

Rikishi and Afa were in a video recently on Smackdown. It seems like them not being part of the Reigns-Usos storyline is a wasted opportunity unless they don't want to do it.

tonight we'll have the great season premiere of SD!
e.g. Daniel Bryan will return.

SD is booked so much better than Raw

I think SD is generally more popular for all because it has only two hours^^

Smackdown was good last night.

They continue to kill it with the Reigns/Jey storyline, other than Jey climbing half way up the cell to close the show. (Weird visual)

Makes me sad knowing we’re pretty much watching Bryan’s farewell tour. He’s somehow still incredibly underrated.

The Otis/Miz pre tapes were mostly corny but had their moments. If it leads to miz getting the briefcase itll be worth it.

Why would you want Miz with the briefcase?
The current gimmick doesn't do it for me at all.
I guess it would be worth the trouble if it leads to John Morrison in the main event.

On the other hand, I would love it if Otis tries to cash in the contract before their match.

Long story short: he’s not Otis.

The show's been better lately, but they've had better shows on average when ratings are lower going to FS1 or holiday weekends than when ratings are higher. I hope they can have more consistency when ratings are higher.

Ratings were about steady with last year's FS1 episode which had Flair and Hogan. I'd think that's a positive.

Less Otis in the future and more of the women's division is my hope. After HIAC I'm optimistic that at least one of them will happen.

I really wish they'd stop giving the MITB briefcase to guys who aren't even remotely ready to be big singles stars. They have so many guys who would be great with the briefcase and they give it to Otis, who I like and I think has some potential, but they should have let him and Tucker have a few good tag team reigns first so both guys could establish themselves and have the inevitable breakup actually mean something.

That's the problem with the tag division these days. If any guy on a team has even the slightest sliver of singles potential, Vince splits the team up far too soon and leaves both guys dead in the water.

What tag team division?

Celtsfan1980 · Post #1735 » by **Celtsfan1980** » Wed Oct 28, 2020 5:50 pm

Nobody can touch Roman Reigns. I never thought I'd see any wrestling critic say that anywhere:

Jey Uso heel turn, looking like a Bryan vs. Reigns feud

Vince would've broken up Beer Money after like 6 months.

Murphy, Rollins, and the Mysterios, couldn't they have kept at least one of them on Raw? I hope they have a big match qualifying match for Survivor Series, then we can move on.

The_Brecht · Post #1739 » by **The_Brecht** » Sat Nov 7, 2020 11:10 am

Couple of thoughts:

- You can see right through the story between Rollins and Murphy.
- I would've loved to see Rey and Rollins on the Smackdown team.
- How long has it been since Baron Corbin won a match without some form of interference/shenanigans?
- The Usos/Roman story is awesome.
- I feel lik Otis lost a lot of weight recently.
- Sasha vs Bayley was absolutely awesome. Next step is Bayley getting some time off and returning at the rumble?
- Nice return angle from Carmella.

Tremendous opening segment with Reigns, McIntyre and Uso. If I have one complaint — it’s the damn piped in cheering. It’s way, way too much. I could barely here them speak at times.
