    I've got to admire your moxey for live posting this nothingness.


    What channel is this twaddle even on anymore over here? I know Sky dropped it because there were only a couple of hundred people still clinging on.

    That whole segment was crap. Lacy Evans is woeful. Reigns knocking ziggler into 2021 with the steel chairs was great. Welcome back sheamy.

    Wait.. so the “new face” of the FFH was that horrendous looking belt?? And the plates on Brays belt look so crap..

    Roman’s promo at the start- “it’s all wwe, y’all” when the fans start chanting nxt. Well if it’s all wwe why should anyone give a damn about brand supremecy? And they’re literally going with the “dog” stuff.. “well you eat dog food”.. it’s such bollocks

    Hopefully Sheamus has a big impact on his return

    Would't throw her out of the bed if she had a wet fart.

    Bayley looks like a mom driving around in a 7 seater.

    I think the “new face” thing was meta. Daniel Bryan has flipped fully back to being a face again. By engaging with the crowd again, and accepting the cheers, he’s fully embraced being good. And Bray is taking credit for introducing the “new face”.

    Lacey is a better promo than both Sasha and Bayley. I think it's ridiculous how those two have been on the main roster for years now and haven't improved the slightest bit on the mic.

    Mandy Rose is the drizzling shìts. Instagram model spoofing as a wrestler.

    Am I supposed to be hyped for a Sheamus return in late 2019?

    Roman is actually the best thing about the show and the only guy who feels like the slightest bit of a star.

    Smackdown is the worst it's been in years, in my opinion.

    Sheamus doing a retro run, fair enough.
    Sick of the Roman story tbh, went on for a bit long too.

    That Fiend belt is ugly as hell and not in a good way, it looks goofy and cheap.
    Crowd did not know how to react to the Fiend scalping (?) Bryan.
    We all knew DB was going to be face soon but I'll miss his run as Eco-Maniacal Daniel Bryan but still.
    Not sure where the card for TLC is going and we're only 2 shows out from it. Gonna be a real rushed card with a lot of rematches I reckon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,294 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So Daniel doesn't care about the environment any more? He'd better lose the beard or get a haircut to sell whatever the Fiend was doing to him.

    Alexa returns the same day a new Harley Quinn series starts? Though knew she was gonna come for the save since she's advertised for Starrcade. Think "Naught" :o Nikki's old ring gear suited the character better.

    I'm sure it'll be Roman vs Baron at TLC. Maybe a chairs match? Had a quick look back and with Roman's promo combined with the match, it took up about a third of the total runtime of the show.
    I think Baron's sceptre should double as a microphone.

    Sheamus on Smackdown the Intercontinental Championship on Smackdown.


    Go on the Sheamus....

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,851 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Sheamo to complete his grand slam taking the IC title off Nakamura (hasn't he been tagging with Sheamus' old running mate Cesaro recently) and Reigns and Corbin to have a Dog Collar match or some similar stip, I believe that was rumored a while back iirc. If this was HIAC i'd almost expect them to book a Kennel from Hell match again :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭OneEightSeven


    Just got done watching this. Sasha Banks had some serious sex appeal in those boots. Probably the best thing on the show.

    Some of the cameras are horrible. The hard cam seems to be fine, but the ringside ones are blurry and struggle with capturing fast motion. Bryan Alverez has commentated on it a few times.

    Anyone else know what Sky channel Smackdown in on tonight ? It's just I'm looking at the guide on sky and I cant see WWE anywhere.

    Funny that Bray Wyatt has said he's not a fan of the red lights in his matches. The miz to open the show proper ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,362 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    I'd prefer Bray the way he is without the fiend. He's more creepy without the fiend gimmick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,362 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Oh that's going to make Miz a face when you show a picture of his wife and Daughters.

    God's greatest creation and Sonia Deville looking unreal.

    To think you have a guy like Otis who the crowd adore and you put those fúcking wasters, The Revival, (who haven't got a crowd reaction since NXT) over him.

    Otis is the lovable big unit who can move in the ring. the revival are the best tag team in pro wrestling today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,362 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    I love the Revival. Old school wrestling FTW.

    Only saw the fun house bit of the miz thing

    Where is Daniel Bryan and why is the miz facing Bray at TLC instead ??

    generic ? G'wan away J. Generic they aren't just because they are doing Tag team wrestling the way it should be done.

    "The way it should be done". Explain what that means.

    By being boring? By having crowds have zero interest in their feuds, promos and title reigns?

    All they do is say "We're old school".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,362 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    They just played a tribute to the troops preview and Lacey Evans were there but I hope she is used properly given she was a MP in the US marine corp. Hopefully that is recognised.

    Yeah they tag properly and don't do this rubbish of just slapping their partner wherever the hell they feel like it.A tag as ruled by the NWA is a tag to a partner who is holding on to a tag rope or the ring post and tagging by hitting the person's hand not their back or leg.

    Holding tag ropes isn't a gimmick. Unsurprisingly, audiences don't find holding a little rope or slapping hands for a tag to be important or interesting.

    I'd wager only 0.000000001% of wrestling fans actually do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,902 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    This is way the company Is in the state of in

    ****ing horrendous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,221 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    So Miz and Bray in a non-title match?

    No Brock so no WWE title match.

    And Becky isn't defending her title.

    So that means a WWE PPV with no WWE, Universal or Raw Women's title matches. If it happens I can't think of a less important PPV since that ECW mess.

    I dunno, I never go out of my way to watch them but when I do I'm always entertained. But the old school thing aside, they're just proper ****ing heels in the ring. I do find myself worked up by them which is a rarity in this age so slapping the generic tag on them I can't agree with.

    They need to hone their characters a bit though there's no doubt about that. It's a shame they split them up from Orton.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Blue_Dabadee


    As much as everyone dislikes Lashey/Rusev storyline, I think this feud between Corbin and Reigns is a lot worse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭RollieFingers


    The Revival are good but the Lucha Bros are the best tag team in pro wrestling today.

    Both are scraping the bottom of the barrel rubbish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,221 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    WWE are playing Roman brilliantly. Put the guy is such awful storylines that we'll be practically begging them to put him back in the title scene soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    It must be just me but I enjoyed that Smackdown. Things in WWE have got slightly better recently. Still way off where they should be but its a bit better.

    The tag team match I just buzzed through. I don't see anything in the Revival. I don't know their names and don't care. They seem to be popular online though. Same for New Day. I skip every match they are in as they are embarrassing to watch.I like them all individually but hate them together as New Day. They must be drawing money with kids though with merchandise but I don't watch them anymore. Ive found I enjoy Smackdown more since I started doing that!

    I liked the ending as they are bad guys. They are meant to do bad guy things.
