Smackdown wins, friends.

My analysis shows that Smackdown has the better show, scientifically.
 
It's all really how they want to direct the characters and angles of Smackdown that can obviously make or break it. You can hate on them now but an ADR and a Ziggler can find their stride without a roster so bloated. Turn Ziggler heel and maybe just maybe he can be great. Apollo Crews can find something, ADR can find something, Baron Corbin Bernsen can find something. It's really all on them and the 1,000 monkeys that will no doubt write that show. Remember, it's two hours long!

So no it's not gonna work and all of it's completely fucked before it even started hahaha

Is Bryan Alvarez credible?

He said today, at one point, Jason Jordan was going to be called up solo and no Chad Gable.

Also said Bayley was going to get drafted but then decided not to.

Then Mojo was, then wasn't, then did.

No Asuka, Joe, or Nak considered, apparently.

Alvarez is basically Meltz's partner in crime.

Meltzer is Jabba, Alvarez is the mouse rat thing that laughs, and the lady that's chained represents the subscribers that always hunger for da sheetz. So you be the judge.

Makes it sound like WWE has no fucking clue what they are doing....sounds credible to me.
 
Why Fight Network's own John Pollock of course! Certainly looks the part.

Only ribbing cause I genuinely think John Pollock is the best mind in wrestling and hell even MMA. Dude is a podcast machine.

"I'm here to make a good.. a good... a good lucha.. thing. WHOOO!"

Good promo, Kalisto.
This was clearly the highlight of the entire night. (That and Big E's followup on Twitter.)
I hope the kids in developmental all had a good laugh.

I wonder if they'll give King a proper send-off.
I remember him having a nice send-off when he got wheeled out on a stretcher that one RAW in Montreal. Fans really gave him a nice ovation.

Bryan Alvarez is less credible than me jack.

I would pay money to know what caused Paige to drop so hard.

From one of the main faces to utter afterthought

Her gimmick just didn't transfer. The same may happen with Bayley.

I don't think she "did" anything. She's still on Total Divas, did that ridiculous Santa movie, and will have a decent career if she avoids injuries.
 
But who isn't less credible than you, Smackdownkaveli?
I might give Jr an upper hand. I'm never wrong and usually when I am, I make sure to let you know Dave Meltzer said it, not me. I think his show tomorrow and news letter should be a very damn interesting one.

Are you still subscribing?

The PPV situation will be interesting to watch. Might get some worthy feuds and story's now it's all hopefully a bit more focused.
 
This fucks so many of the people that were supposed to get a bigger role. Owens, Cesaro, Zayn, or Neville would had a much more prominent role on SD. Instead we got good main events with shitty diva mid card and jobber matches.
 
Baron Corbin and Apollo Crews were brought-up on the same day a few months back and neither has done a fucking thing, yet one went 19th and the other went 45th

Neville will be the first Cruiserweight Champion.

By virtue of the only other Cruiserweight being Sin Cara.

I mean there's also Finn Balor but he's obviously not going to be a Cruiserweight.
