Uh am I missing something? When did using an exposed turnbuckle not lead to a DQ?

It...doesn't? I don't think I've seen that when they used to do that spot all the time.

 

[Toki767]

Bray's the one who did it. He got what he deserved.

/Carney Logic

Ziggler's the one who actually took it off. The ref stopped Bray.

 

[slightconfuse]

I have no idea what the point of putting Wyatt there is when you already sold him as a big loser

 

[darkside31337]

Bray's the one who did it. He got what he deserved.

/Carney Logic

But Ziggler was the one who took off the pad and was the one who used it. The ref saw -both- of these things. Exposed turnbuckle spots almost always involve the ref not seeing who took off the turnbuckle or seeing it be used so he cant figure out how to DQ. He didn't even warn Dolph as he took it off. It was weird.

anyway fuck dolph

Still Bray's fault as he initiated contact with the turnbuckle

That doesn't matter.

If Bray put a chair in the ring but Ziggler was the one who used it, Ziggler would be DQ'd.

 

[somedevil]

Jason Jordan is still smiling. He is so happy about being called up. Makes sense after at point being on the chopping block.

Lol D.Bry mocking Universal WWE title.

 

[Jimmy King]

This American Alpha segment is a mess

 

[sf2fanatic]

Catching up on Raw, why they have Stroman & Nia Jax wrestle jobbers the last two weeks?

 

[Man God]

Really glad I didn't give up on Team Blue after last week. This would have been a much stronger debut. The entire show could have been last weeks show story wise save for Orton if the Ziggler/Wyatt match was the result of a lottery for No. 1 contention.

 

[The Silver]

oh I completely forgot about Smackdown, was it a not shit show?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Bryan shooting on Cena. Smack Talk isn't half bad!

 

[Jimmy King]

The production on this show is hilariously bad.

 

[Pikma]

That turnbuckle thing was weird but outside of that this new booking for Ziggler is surprisingly competent, even kinda engaging

 

[somedevil]

Bryan is very good on this Smackdown after show.

 

[Pikma]

These new unscripted shows can get akward at times but I think they're very entertaining and could help the product a lot in the long term

 

[dream]

I think Nick Nemeth has to beat Dean Ambrose clean for the World Title.

 

[RBH]

Smackdown was good tonight. Fun main event too.

Better than Raw overall yesterday

 

[TimeEffect]

Why is AJ being so goofy

 

[Man God]

I think Nick Nemeth has to beat Dean Ambrose clean for the World Title.

It'd have to involve a Dean heel turn of some sort and I don't think that works.

Maybe an unclean win involving a DZ heel turn.

 

[Jimmy King]

I am rooting for Ziggler. Damn.

Finn too.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

This is all fine until Dean cleanly beats Ziggler in three weeks and Ziggler returns to the mid-card and Bray is yet again stuck looking terrible.

 

[KissVibes]

Smackdown was much better than RAW.

Maybe every week the idea is to alternate. Next week RAW will be better.

 

[Jimmy King]

This is all fine until Dean cleanly beats Ziggler in three weeks and Ziggler returns to the mid-card and Bray is yet again stuck looking terrible.

Yeah, that's a worry.

Bryan and Ziggler burying that travesty of a Mania 31 match.

Bryan should be permanent co-host of Talking Smack.

 

[Chamber]

I think Nick Nemeth has to beat Dean Ambrose clean for the World Title.

The story they told tonight does seem like it would logically end with Ziggler winning. I can't believe I'm saying it but I'm honestly interested in this angle.

 

[Fox318]

At least now Staten Island will be known for Carmela instead of Big Vito

 

[Zach]

Love the avatar, Fox318.

 

[Zach]

Why didn't you guys tell me Nancy on Stranger Things was played by The Brian Kendrick?

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Yeah, that's a worry.

Bryan and Ziggler burying that travesty of a Mania 31 match.

Bryan should be permanent co-host of Talking Smack.

You could have easily used someone like Crews or Corbin with them saying some shit like "I was never pinned" instead of Bray. But I guess they wanted Ziggler beating someone who is a decent threat.

 

[notworksafe]

Really good show tonight. Major improvement already, some of those camera shots were impressive.

I dunno about the post-show. Couldn't take it for more than a few minutes.

 

[Exodust]

Where can I watch the AJ Styles/Cena promo? Can't find it on youtube or their website.

 

[Jimmy King]

 

[somedevil]

If Summerslam has 10 matches like last year. Here are the matches so far:

Raw:

Orton vs Brock
Seth vs Finn
New Day vs The Club
Charlotte vs Sasha
Rusev vs Reigns
Jericho and Owens vs Enzo and Cass

Smackdown:

Ziggler vs Ambrose
Cena vs Styles
Miz vs Crews

So they basically have 1 match left to fill and the card is complete.

 

[RBH]

I just saw Raul Mendoza vs. Brian Kendrick from last week's CWC.

Mendoza impressed the hell out of me

 

[sf2fanatic]

So we have "Stupid Idiot" vs "Dummy,Yeah"

 

[Zach]

I just saw Raul Mendoza vs. Brian Kendrick from last week's CWC.

Mendoza impressed the hell out of me

Yeah, I hope to see more of that guy.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Very good show, kept me pretty entertained for the most part. I'm disappointed that Miz nor Dean wrestled but the fact that Dean is doing so much, he deserved the night off. Miz makes his title seem so sacred because he holds it well and he is always scouting his opponents.

The dark match looks like it could be your two WM main events, Seth & AJ v Cena & Roman. Obviously good guys won.

My fiancée enjoyed the show and it was a good thing to do for an anniversary. SD edges Raw due to the fact that they didn't overdue anything and everything made sense. I'm glad they the title was the main focus of the show as compared to before when Cena's program overshadowed everything else.

After SummerSlam, I see sd hitting its stride forreal.

 

[Man God]

Miz should wrestle every night in a suit.

Hell Miz should have a WWE Network show teaching other stars how to buy suits that look good on them. John Cena can be on every week if need be.

 

[Zach]

Heh heh heh. They're about to announce the XFL.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Miz should wrestle every night in a suit.

Hell Miz should have a WWE Network show teaching other stars how to buy suits that look good on them. John Cena can be on every week if need be.

That would be almost like a movie where Cena ia the take chances guy and Miz is the I'm not so fun type of dude but my partner drags me into crazy situations.

Just saw the Smackdown graphics with the facts and things, it's pretty cool. Looks like they decided to take the V.1 idea from Matt since he's so popular now. Truly ahead of his time.

 

[Jimmy King]

The Cena/AJ feud is gonna need a little extra something.

 

[Man God]

The Cena/AJ feud is gonna need a little extra something.

I too was waiting for the gimmick. Apparently the gimmick is...no Club.

Maybe he'll use JBL's cabinet instead?

 

[Uno Venova]

Still kind of shook that Enzo told Sasha he wanted to creampie her on live TV.

 

[Zach]

Stupid WWF being entertaining and keeping me from fast-forwarding.

 

[Fox318]

The prophecy will come true

Zach will give mania 2000 an A


All is lost

 

[Jimmy King]

Still kind of shook that Enzo told Sasha he wanted to creampie her on live TV.

The sexual harassment was well received here, in fact, I was shouted down for not liking his promo.
