>Putting over Snuka

she was the butt of the entire joke

I wasn't talking about Tamina

 

[Zach]

I hear JBL is a good guy commentator now. Enjoy!

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Oh yeah, I hope everyone is hyped for 2.0 of this:

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Smackdown better make RuRu a main eventer.

 

[ShadyK54]

It's really just a rumor born from a few things but regardless whether it's true or not, the two do seem to like stiffing each other.

Interesting. Their inevitable Raw match should be a fun watch, at least.

Almost forgot they snuck Rusev in there. Dude could be amazing on Smackdown. Let his personality shine.

 

[Tall4Life]

Deuce Snuka hasn't done anything worthwhile in wrestling, I don't know what you're talking about

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I know RuRu is hurt, but I wonder if them intentionally leaving him and lana out of a "welcome to SD" moment beyond a video is to help de-garbage him a bit. Hopefully get a little away from the comedic brute.

Not being Roman's punching bag will help

 

[Nocturnowl]

The only problem for SD now is they in fact will have too much talent to squeeze into two hours, expect the tag division to continue being on and off in how often you see them.

Though honestly I don't mind this approach too much, sometimes it's nice to not have everyone forced into a slot each week even if they have nothing to do.

 

[Conrad Link]

Rusev on Talking Shoot will be fun.

I get more excited for that show than the actual wrestling.

Edit: Bittersweet though, what with the subdural hematoma and everything. Anymore info to back up Meltz's statement that it might be an angle?

No because even Metlz backtracked on calling it a work.

 

[Cagey]

Oh yeah, I hope everyone is hyped for 2.0 of this:

As a Jersey native and Giants season ticket holder for awhile, I will defend this glorious feud.

fuck the giants

[Mahonay]

I wonder if Tamina learned how to properly use her limbs with any kind of coordination in her time away.

 

[wild wild rice]

No because even Metlz backtracked on calling it a work.

Shit.

 

[jmdajr]

Has Bliss every faced Nia Jax?

I fear for her safety. At least Charlotte is free.

 

[whatevermort]

Rusev on Talking Shoot will be fun.

It's the best half an hour of wrestling(-related television) every week. I sincerely hope they're clever if/when Bryan leaves, as I really think his are pretty big (vegan) shoes to fill.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I wonder if Tamina learned how to properly use her limbs with any kind of coordination in her time away.

The one real thing she was very good at (superkicking a Bella Twin) can't even happen anymore now.

 

[Sephzilla]

I want Raw to open next with with Braun yelling "I'M STILL NOT DONE WITH HIM" and then pushing over the goddamn hospital Roman is at

 

[Beefy]

WWE got things right with the drafts. They have made SD more a strong singles division show, which helps the two hour slot. They have made Raw a more of good mix of all 3 divisions, which fits the 3hr show.

 

[miserable]

Bryan didn't even mention the possibility of Jericho winning the match with Owens and taking the US title to RAW. he just made a no 1 contender match which means Owens will retain. might as well put that match on a house show. I really hate stuff like this

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Having none of the Shield guys on SD really is the best thing.

Maybe it's a case where if Jericho wins he goes to SD?

I mean, it's obvious Owens is retaining, but still.

Hello fellow Jersian

This feud was one of the better, or best?, cross-over in WWE.

 

[Browny]

Oh yeah, I hope everyone is hyped for 2.0 of this:

I remember this being a surprisingly passable match, in the big scheme of things.

Spoiler

No I'm not going back to watch it.

He absolutely did mention it. He said whomever wins the US belt at Payback (Owens or Jericho) will officially be a member of SDL.

When the GOAT goes Strong Style.

How much coke do you think he was on during this feud?

 

[Sephzilla]

Reggie White was at ringside though

 

[Kaladin]

Jinder Mahall gave Balor a concussion with his stiff shots, that should be punishable.

well yeah, they sent him to the B show

 

[Sephzilla]

Jinder is gunning for that Jack Swagger/Seth Rollins "accidentally on purpose" spot

 

[Cagey]

How much coke do you think he was on during this feud?

If he thought it was a shoot, all of it. If he thought it was a work, maaaaybe he split it 70/30 with Bam Bam.

Reggie White was at ringside though

I would have like Rollins on SD tho.

 

[Caderfix]

He is probably going to get a push, and I'm not even joking. They even gave him time and put him over on talking Smack, talking about attitude, championships and such. Terrible.

And I was praising the dude for his match with Sami. Stiff wrestling is fine, as long as you don't do stuff that can cause serious, or even worse, permanent damage.

Finally got around to watching Okada v Shibata

What an incredible match, shame we have to go from that to Okada v Fale...

 

[excelsiorlef]

Yep

There is legit potential for The Superior Smackdown Six when all things are considered

AJ
Owens
Zayn
Nakamura
Rusev
Corbin

Is pretty damn close if not slightly better in totality than the OG SD 6.

That said if Balor is out for long term I wouldn't be surprised if AJ or Owens goes /returns to Raw.

 

[Caderfix]

I hope the Rusev who destroyed Ryder and 100% no sold Mojo's bullshit in the draft night last year is the Rusev they go for moving forward.

 

[imBask]

I gotta say i'm very surprised they didn't just put Roman Reigns on both shows

 

[Sephzilla]

I want them to basically retcon Rusev and Lana back to their original forms where Rusev was the monster and Lana was the real villain controlling the monster

 

[giancarlo123x]

I would have like Rollins on SD tho.

I'm really happy he isn't, not enjoying his baby face shenanigans and he would be stuffed into the main event even though there are at least 4 people that are much better than him.

 

[Sephzilla]

Rollins going to SD would have been a good fresh start for his character since his face turn was really botched. But I'm happy having a Shield free show.

 

[orioto]

It's crazy i see lots of people on INternet thiking it's not 600% sure Owens wins the match at payback.

There are so much reasons.. I mean Jericho is leaving lol.
But especially, you don't debut Owens like that, being the focus of your show, if he's not staying...

He's on SD for good.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Bam made him look like a star!

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I have no investment in Rollins at all, character or ring wise so I'm happy with him being gone. A no Shield show is actually great.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I want them to basically retcon Rusev and Lana back to their original forms where Rusev was the monster and Lana was the real villain controlling the monster

I mean we don't even know if Lana is going to be connected to Rusev anymore... they did a vignette with her dancing gimmick.


Honestly I'd like to see them move away entirely from Rusev the foreign heel. Dude is charismatic as fuck let that guide him
