They announced the show as sold out. So I will wait for official data from observer before either believing a random picture or what WWE said.

There's multiple pictures, and you can see AJ Corbin and Dillinger, and the Hell In A Cell logos, so it's not like it's a dark match and people are filing in. You're being willfully ignorant

 

[excelsiorlef]

Great crowd reaction for the Shield and that's what matters.


And it wasn't the worst way (nor the best way). They built up Dean and Seth coming back together for ages leading into Summerslam . Neither had an issue with Roman so that part didn't need to be dragged out. Then they brought them together by incorporating Seth and Dean's existing program with The Bar (who are credible and great workers).

It's logically sound

 

[FlammableD]

Arenas hide pretty easily.

 

[somedevil]

Yeah, it's just a PPV, not relevant at all ��

I mean posting a random shot when they announced it sold out says two different things. So wouldn't it be better if we wait till Meltzer or someone report the actual number before a judgement is made?

oh thank goodness. everything is fine, everything is well as is.

Don't be afraid of actual data. It even includes the year 2016! Plus it shows that smackdown attendance is down this sept compared to last year.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Shield vs Miz and the Bar in a TLC match?

 

[The Elite]

Will something be on the line or just a pinfall for that TLC?

To be fair Meltz and co pointed out it was obviously not a sellout.


Side note The Shield guys in their respective t-shirts still looked visually coherent which is cool.

 

[Nameless]

McCartney tier talent right here

Agreed.

I hope all of the belts are on the line at TLC.

Man, Elias is great lmao. “This one’s for me”

Just a pinfall. Shield debuted in a TLC match.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Elias learned a new chord

 

[norm9]

Should he a great match. All world Champs with the exception of cesaro.

 

[ShadyK54]

I love da Drifter.

Lol, Titus.

 

[shanafan]

Should he a great match. All world Champs with the exception of cesaro.

All former US champs though!

 

[The Elite]

That's a crime.

"Just kidding I love the sound of my own voice too much. This one's for me"

Classic Elias


Lol "Follow Apollo" Titus and his banjo is amazing

Man that match was SO good. I was sold on them immediately afterward. It's a shame this TLC match won't be anywhere near as good

 

[shanafan]

Lol

So they haven't hung the Pistons jerseys yet it looks like. Screw that arena. Pistons are playing there, but it's all catered to the Red Wings.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I will say the giddyness about attendance numbers and ratings being down is tiresome.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I wish Titus was managing someone better than Apollo.

I actually really like his role in all of this. Such a bummer.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I think it should be great. That original match had fucking Ryback in it and turned out awesome.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Elias needs a better program than working with Apollo Crews.

And while obviously Corey has his gripes with Elias going back to NXT, its weird for Cole to be so pro-Elias like he is.

Agreed. Titus Worldwide is really cool.

Eh

Sheamus > Kane
Miz > Ryback
Cesaro = Daniel Bryan.

It's got a chance at being as good amd it certainly won't be that far behind.

 

[gaiadyne]

Unfortunately Seth and Dean don't wrestle like they did back then and I think they made that match

So I will agree its not sold out but its not even close to a disaster of some smackdown attendance.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Less giddiness, more realism

No there is absolutely a strain of giddyness the way some talk about it.


Steenerico on Smackdown
SHIELD on Raw

Great stuff.

 

[Toki767]

Oh it's only October huh. For some reason I thought Survivor Series was going to be the next PPV.

 

[shanafan]

Ok, that was pretty funny with the Cole and Graves exchange about Slash and Elias, lol

 

[excelsiorlef]

I enjoy Cole and Graves switching alignments when Elias is involved

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Elias is single-handedly burying Apollo, week after week.

 

[Valtýr]

Holy shit they gave Elias Taker's rope walk thing?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

yes.jif

What's that have to do with Steenerico and The Shield being great stuff.

YES.JIF

Even did it twice

 

[Sweeney Tom]

WWE CHAMPION JINDER MAHAL. THAT'LL PUT BUTTS IN SEATS.

Leave these poor people alone, Tom.

 

[Foggy]

Schadenfreude should only be reserved for racist companies that abuse their workers and use their wealth and influence to make the country worse.

 

[Toki767]

Crowd booing at Kalisto getting a title shot.

I don't think this Enzo heel turn is catching on with the crowd.

 

[TimeEffect]

Lol Kalisto Tostito

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

yes.jif

Holy shit, dude

 

[excelsiorlef]

Nevermind

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Leave these poor people alone, Tom.

I love you both <3

 

[Brian_FETO]

Can't believe you guys that aren't happy with the product and feel the company is too stubborn to fix things are enjoying seeing interest reaching new lows
