Otis beating Nakamura clean gives an indication of where the thinking is with this company

A sentence I never thought I'd read. Abandon ship please Nakamura!

Nakamura has been coasting for years and years and has flattered to deceive in every big feud he has been given. I remember the internet losing their minds when AJ/Nakamura happened only for them to serve up half a dozen average matches.

Funny people going crazy that Otis beat Nakamura. Have they not noticed that Nakamura has been firmly slotted in the mid card for like 2 years?

Honestly the blame is only partially with Nak. His body is not what it was. If he showed up in a couple of weeks at the Tokyo Dome in a big match I'd bet the house it'd be in the top 3 matches of the back to back Tokyo Dome shows.

I saw it said before that he was pretty much coasting in NJPW as well. That may have been spite for him leaving and going to WWE but I know they said he could go when he wanted but a lot of the time he didn't bother.


For the whole Carmella/Sasha feud, I find it strange because I'm pretty much they're the same character. Hasn't Sasha already played the same character that Carmella is playing?

Missed it but have they dented belair already with a loss to bayley or did they cover it with the eye rake

After Cole calling the TLC match one of the most dangerous type of match, it's not even the final match.

So who is going to be dressed at Santa?

Food fight?

Miracle on 34th Street Fight?

Asuka already relegated to being Charlottes Asian partner the Queen is the star no one else.

So with the champs being a thrown together team they're put in a match against 2 thrown together teams but not the actual team of Riott Squad.
Though I guess since we knew who was winning it's better not to have them.

Big E winning is a good thing. Just hope they have him take it seriously.
Was Akira Tozawa there? Thought he was on Raw

Smackdown did 3.3 in the ratings.

The first hour drew 4 million in the ratings! An overrun from the NFL show I gather.

I did enjoy it a lot too. A good rating for Christmas.

Meltzer and Alvarez will be doing somersaults of rage trying to explain it.

To be fair I can't understand why myself. A cage match for the title with an inevitable result....Bryan vs a Jey Uso who is starting to lose steam and the Queen taking stage over the actual Raws women champion....it really doesn't deserve a rating of that calibre.

Charlotte would be infinitely more well known than Asuka, even if that recognition is more or less "Isn't she Ric Flair's daughter?"

Fùck Meltzer and Alvarez also. Poisonous arseholes who love fuelling the tribalism.
