The rocks question is really great

 

[Kacho]

This promo is fantastic.

 

[Ithil]

Sandow's eyes bugging out at the insult.

This segment is great so far.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Aw man Cody, you really needed to reassess your strategy there lol

 

[jobber]

buried under a rock

 

[Kacho]

That was like 10x better than the one on RAW.

 

[Ithil]

Rock was a lot funnier in that segment. He wasn't trying so hard, he just waited for good stuff to come to him.

Sandow and Cody was awesome.

buried under a rock

They just got a big rub.

 

[Kyoufu]

That was like 10x better than the one on RAW.

Punk made him look awful on Raw.

 

[Kacho]

Punk made him look awful on Raw.

Indeed.

I felt like that segment did something for each guy.

 

[Htown]

guys

Sandow and Rhodes are pretty good you guys

it's a shame the tag division isn't big enough to get them super over

I mean it's way better than it was (Superstars-level), but still

 

[Kacho]

buried under a rock

Here comes your bury. lol

Was only a little over a year ago that Jinder was feuding with Sheamus until his eventual RR win.

Rock/Punk already has a better build-up than Rock/Cena, and it took only a week.

Punk actually gives a shit. It helps a lot.

 

[Kyoufu]

Rock/Punk already has a better build-up than Rock/Cena, and it took only a week.

Because Cena is so unbelievably bad. Notice how Punk didn't smirk once when he was face to face with Rock on Monday.

 

[cryptic]

Did they show punk doing that promo from the stadium yet?

 

[Ithil]

Did they show punk doing that promo from the stadium yet?

Both of them.

 

[Data West]

Think about this. Sandow has been in the ring with DX AND The Rock now, and he hasn't been outdone either time.

 

[Kyoufu]

Both of them.

Was it any good? I didn't see it.

 

[Ithil]

Was it any good? I didn't see it.

Yeah they were cool.

 

[Striker]

Rock/Punk already has a better build-up than Rock/Cena, and it took only a week.

It's going to need more than simple promos every week. Gets boring after two weeks of it. Taker-HHH did the same crap.

Should be a good day when Bryan separates on his own and gets into the main event once again. PTP didn't look too good there.

 

[Kacho]

LOL @ Dbry covering his ears for Kane's pyro. Holy shit.

 

[strobogo]

Johnny The Bull. He had a small run in WWE 2003 as Johnny Stamboli in the WWE version of the Full Blooded Italians.

He suffered a torn urethra. He couldn't even stand up after that. He did return a few months later...

...only to completely shatter his ankle after landing on his feet from a monkey flip by Kwee Wee.

Yeah. Such a weird injury. He got put in the ring WAY too early. All of the power plant guys did around that time, but he was not even close to being ready for more than 5 minute Saturday Night practice matches. He was constantly fucking up up moves, spots, slipping off ropes. I'd like to know who approved that spot and thought it was a good idea. There was no way he wouldn't get injured from jumping 15 feet onto his tail bone onto the floor and a chair.

 

[Ithil]

Ouch.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

It's going to need more than simple promos every week. Gets boring after two weeks of it. Taker-HHH did the same crap.

I think that the reason Taker - HHH was shit the second time around was because the promos were terrible and the reason for the match was beyond stupid "I know you beat me last Wrestlemania... but really I beat you!". Punks promos however have been spot on so far in this feud, if they continue to be just as good then the feud will be great. The fact that you were a detractor from his nigh' superlative mic work on Monday kind of already suggests the reason you think this feud will fail is because you already think it has.

Personally I'd much rather see both men slowly dissect each other over the next few weeks on the mic rather than see something idiotic thrown in the mix.

 

[Ithil]

Easily best SD since the Hell No Power Hour from a few months ago.

 

[Kacho]

THE FUCK?!

 

[kassatsu]

haha nice.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Holy shit! I am marking the fuck out right now!

 

[Judderman]

; _ ;

Fuckin' awesome.

 

[Ithil]

God damn.

Great ending. Go Del Rio, I'm behind him as a face, he's everything Miz isn't.

 

[Htown]

GOOD SHIT

 

[slightconfuse]

Did ziggler cash in or is this in respone to del rio winning

 

[Kacho]

They're finally doing Del Rio proper.

 

[Kaladin]

Did ziggler cash in or is this in respone to del rio winning

This place would go batshit if Ziggler cashed in and it wasn't spoiled.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Did ziggler cash in or is this in respone to del rio winning

Del Rio winning!

 

[Judderman]

That emotion was great. Ricardo with the emotional call...so great.

 

[slightconfuse]

I'll have to catch it when I get home then.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

That emotion was great. Ricardo with the emotional call...so great.

Yeah. I need to find a photo of him in the crowd with the belt.

 

[Skilotonn]

I forgot to watch for Smackdown so I only caught the very end of The Rock/Team Rhode Scholars so I'll have to catch that on Youtube, and too bad WWE themselves spoiled the WHC match, it was a good one though.

 

[somedevil]

They're finally doing Del Rio proper.

They need a Mexican babyface draw and they gave up on Mysterio and Sin Cara and now its Del Rio turn and if he fails:

 

[Ithil]

It's nice to have a face that feels like someone you can root for.

 

[Officerrob]

They're finally doing Del Rio proper.

He's just a transitional champion again

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Which makes me glad I wasn't reading their site or any of their feeds this week, because that was one of the most surprising things I've seen on Smackdown in so long.

 

[Data West]

It's nice to have a face that feels like someone you can root for.

Soon he'll be a bully, don't worry.

 

[Ithil]

He's just a transitional champion again

So was Daniel Bryan, he still had an awesome reign.

 

[Officerrob]

So was Daniel Bryan, he still had an awesome reign.

Bryan was champion for almost four months (and was in a different league both in promos and in the ring than Del Rio), I expect Del Rio to lose the belt in just over two weeks

 

[Kacho]

He's just a transitional champion again

I don't expect him to be a meaningful champion or anything. I'm just speaking on how they're making him face, giving him the belt, make the crowd sympathize and care. They're doing things that actually make you want to watch him!

They need a Mexican babyface draw and they gave up on Mysterio and Sin Cara and now its Del Rio turn and if he fails:

That's pretty fucking funny.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I hope Del Rio is champ until Wrestlemania. I mean we're so close that Ziggler might as well cash it in then and make it his huge moment.

 

[Officerrob]

I don't expect him to be a meaningful champion or anything. I'm just speaking on how they're making him face, giving him the belt, make the crowd sympathize and care. They're doing things that actually make you want to watch him!

I'd reserve my judgment about them making the crowd care about him until they go to someplace in the midwest and show that he is over, I'm not buying it. What has his character development been since turning face? What has been done that will get him cheered away from a large Hispanic audience? Hell, Kofi gets a bigger pop than face Del Rio has been getting
