Oh man things are starting to get really bad on both shows in the title scene, it's still KO v Seth, the Hype Bros are featured more weekly than the tag champs, it's still Miz & Dolph going back and forth, AJ is still getting embarrassed by Ellsworth (who has far run it's course).

Goldberg & Brock sadly have the most interesting program currently on the main roster, barring NXT. How fucking sad is that.

Meltz brought it up today.

TV makes you less over.

Right now performers who are in the screen less are the biggest draws because of the significance of each date and because they don't have to over expose themselves while looking like a powerless wimp in front of Steph or Shane's punches.

Great job. You exposed the business while attempting to protect 'the boys' that you don't even work with and came off like an office stooge.

wow it's almost like they're heels

Bubba got worked so bad

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Catching up on Talking Smack and wow....Bryan continues to be the best personality in wrestling this entire year.

 

[DMczaf]

Paul Heyman straight up calling D-Von the Marty Jannetty of the Dudleys during this ECW special LOL

There should be an agreed upon policy with workers that so long as they are actively signed to a major promotion or actively touring that their tweets are in character.

As a performer and a competitors that tweet from Dawson is fine. As an actor and a worker it's dumb because it's fake scripted shot,that is decided ahead of time.

For example we know that for the most part guys like the New Day, Ziggler, Cesaro, and Cena mostly are shooting or treating Twitter like a real human who just happens to act.

But then guys like Rusev, Miz, and some,in NXT work twitter.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Baron Corbin Bernsen is also bringing his a-game lately. Man.

 

[Uno Venova]

On the other hand Dean Ambrose is still a treat, him and Bryan both corpsing was hilarious.

I think overexposure is one of the things WWE needs to work on, but I don't think Heath & Rhyno have been in a significant TV match in a while, they're always in backstage shots or ringside, I think people want to see them a lot more.

Actions have consequences

unless you're Dean Ambrose

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Kane and Braun dishing out punishment <3

 

[DMczaf]

Heyman crying at the end of this ECW special.....damn

 

[Uno Venova]

It's honestly not fair that we have to watch Kane wrestle.

bryan shoots on wwe unable to make new stars

Is he breaking the 8th wall with this promo?

 

[GunBR]

It's so strange to look at the Final Fantasy XV thread and see a bunch of people thinking that "belee dat" is Verendus catch phrase

Show how much our glorious sport is popular with these kids

 

[excelsiorlef]

This was a pretty great Smackdown.

Ambrose was probably the most entertaining he's been since The Shield. That off his rocker face that even annoys the face management team gimmick was classic. Mountie moment was awesome

Natalya's somg quoting gimmick works because she delivers it perfectly. Bliss' reaction was gold.

Not a huge fan of Elsworth winning that match relatively clean.

That Wyatt Family promo was great. Orton was built to be oart of that stable. It works so well and that honestly surprises me. We're not just a team... we're a family was great.

Alexa Bliss continues to own and lol Otunga was a huge dick to her.

Kalisto sucks but whatever.

I hope Miz retains because Ziggler is boring as fuck and I'm still holding out hopes for a Corbin/Zayn trade.

Solid week of shows... well done.

bryan shoots on wwe unable to make new stars

He's great but even though talent is better than it was 5 years ago 1997-1998 there were more good workers than today.

Problem is today and Bryan knows it that as long as Vince, Dunn, and a McMahon need to be pushed nobody will ever get over to that level unless they get over somewhere else first.

Last guys Vince pushed where he wasn't shoving an idea down the fans throat was Legend Killer Orton? Batista?

Hell the only guy in wrestling right now that people see different from the rest is Ellsworth.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Oh also Carmella gets better every week.

Last week she put in a damn good match with Nikki and this week she definitely cut the better promo of the two.

 

[Anth0ny]

Is he breaking the 8th wall with this promo?

when you shoot on yourself, but that shoot is a work, and you are actually shooting on vince and creative

shoooooooooot

 

[DMczaf]

shoooooooooot

Bryan is a 4th level black belt in shooooooooooooooooooot

 

[Bluekaveli]

 

[Caderfix]

I thought it was weird that Bryan didn't say something like "I'm small but I've beaten HHH and then Batista and Orton at the same night at Wrestlemania" when Corbin was saying small guys have no business being in the ring.

Talking Smack is great. Renee is great, Bryan is AMAZING and the talent are decent at worst. I've never seen a bad one.

SmackDown was good too. Tuesday night is best night.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Great job. You exposed the business while attempting to protect 'the boys' that you don't even work with and came off like an office stooge.

Good night Bubba Ray dudley

 

[Syder]

So uh... What happened to Apollo Crews?

 

[DMczaf]

Great job. You exposed the business while attempting to protect 'the boys' that you don't even work with and came off like an office stooge.

WORKED

 

[Caderfix]

So uh... What happened to Apollo Crews?

Do you really care though? Be honest

 

[Heroman]

So uh... What happened to Apollo Crews?

Wwe booking.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

So uh... What happened to Apollo Crews?

He's being groomed to have a pretty huge role at Wrestlemania

Spoiler

as an extra during Triple H's entrance for when he faces Goldberg in the main event

 

[Heroman]

It is simply insane that people like Carmella, Enzo Nai Jax etc are in the main roster while Joe, the Revival, Asuka Nakamura are treating water in nxt

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Revival gonna get called up and booked like the Vaudevillains and Enzo/Cass

RIP any hope of them getting a tag title run

 

[SallyIsNow]

Just saw that ladder bump AJ took. Holy fucking shit. Dude is insane.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Paul Heyman straight up calling D-Von the Marty Jannetty of the Dudleys during this ECW special LOL

I thought he called Bubba Ray him?

[Plywood]

Great job. You exposed the business while attempting to protect 'the boys' that you don't even work with and came off like an office stooge.

When the workers you don't even work with are working a work and you work yourself into a shoot while they were working, marks.

 

[DMczaf]

plywood!

 

[Tagyhag]

Couldn't Ellsworth be potentially making more than any other person in the independent circuit? That blows my mind.

 

[Plywood]

plywood!

 

[DMczaf]

You still got it!!

 

[jred2k]

I wish we had crazy heel Vince to fuck with Ellsworth. I'm thinking the Zach Gowen feud, but with a man missing a chin instead of a man missing a leg.

 

[Data West]

Gedo already thinking up ways to get the strap on Billy Gunn

 

[DJKhaled]

He isn't on the independent circuit anymore.

 

[Professor Beef]

[Data West]

1997 is probably the best year to be a wrestling fan.

 

[DJKhaled]

It is simply insane that people like Carmella, Enzo Nai Jax etc are in the main roster while Joe, the Revival, Asuka Nakamura are treating water in nxt

At least with those guys treating water the other workers have nice clean water to drink

That Bubba Dudley thing reminds me of another dumb Twitter interaction of his

I'm pretty sure the Dudley Boyz have lost 93% of their matches since returning to the @WWE. @BubbaRayDudley

Bubba Ray Dudley &#8207;@bullyray5150 Jan 5

@MichaelPHuber Im pretty sure we've been paid a substantial amount of $$ 100% of the time. Smarten up!! #Business

Oh thanks bud
