Tune in next week for Crews V Corbin 356

 

[Tagyhag]

The match that Crews and Corbin had at Backlash was pretty good. They've done this a lot, but it's not like they can't work.

Agreed, but since it's SD and Swagger is there, this was always going to be a squash.

I feel really bad for Crews.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Why have Crews job to Corbin to build Swagger vs Corbin? Who cares about Swagger?

 

[Mahonay]

Swagger looked like a huge nerd in that stand off.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Swagger facework is terrible. He looked confused and stunned after Corbin confronted him even though he was supposed to look imposing

 

[plagiarize]

Right result, naturally. But yeah, don't give Swagger a head set. Smackdown does get some things wrong. Just not nearly as much as raw.

 

[Wagram]

This show has the writing, but lacks the star power. These match ups suck ass.

Dolph vs. Miz {who}
Orton vs. Rowen {fucking}
Ambrose vs. Cena {cares}

Where's AJ?

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Another match with Ziggler huh

Gallows and Anderson confirmed as WWE 2K17 DLC

I care about Swagger more than Crews

 

[blackaroni]

Dean followed by Dolph...I think I'm out.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Ellsworth has won more matches than Ziggler.

The People.


I looking forward to Swagger getting sorta a second chance

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Great women and tag-team story-line development from Smackdow, arguably the two things Raw is failing at the most.

RAW just had the face US title challenger that the entire audience hates go over their world champ clean. I think it has booking issues far beyond the women and tag teams.

 

[The Strokes]

I feel like they'll give Apollo a more ruthless gimmick soon. Like he became tired of losing and smiling and is gonna go apeshit on the roster.

Smackdown countering with the HOSS DIVISION

 

[sf2fanatic]

I feel like they'll give Apollo a more ruthless gimmick soon. Like he became tired of losing and smiling and is gonna go apeshit on the roster.

So they'll copy Bobby Lashley's gimmick?

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I feel like they'll give Apollo a more ruthless gimmick soon. Like he became tired of losing and smiling and is gonna go apeshit on the roster.

Yeah. I wanna believe that having him lose a lot recently despite getting decent audience pops is leading up to a character change/gimmick change.

He's a strong in-ring performer and if they can get him a good gimmick, he can still go over even if he isn't great on the mic. Fingers crossed the SD writers see this the way they've seen the Uso's or Carmella.

 

[plagiarize]

Agreed, but since it's SD and Swagger is there, this was always going to be a squash.

I feel really bad for Crews.

Corbin is a future main eventer (bookmark that) and Crews is only going to get there if he finds himself on the mic, which I'm not ready to write off yet.

So it's the right result. It's like you guys early bashing about Dana currently getting more of a push right now than Bailey as if Bailey hasn't just arrived on RAW and Dana hasn't been slowly built to where she's at right now over months.

It's the right thing for right now. If Apollo gets over on the mic, it's game on for him, but right now Corbin has way more upside and way more to lose by losing to Crews.

 

[blackaroni]

Y'all...what is this?

Ok, nevermind. Naomi and Nikki are here. I'm here.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

I feel like they'll give Apollo a more ruthless gimmick soon. Like he became tired of losing and smiling and is gonna go apeshit on the roster.

He definitely needs some kind of character. That's been his biggest thing since his callup. Like, what does he do besides go out there and smile and do flippy sometimes? I know he can go, but I just don't care even a little bit about him.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Wtf just happened

 

[Sou Da]

Y'all...what is this?

I hate Curt Hawkins already. Is that what these promos are trying to achieve?

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

These Curt Hawkins vignettes would be the worst thing on Raw.

 

[Data West]

what the hell was that

 

[PreFire]

Face the facts

 

[Tagyhag]

Corbin is a future main eventer (bookmark that) and Crews is only going to get there if he finds himself on the mic, which I'm not ready to write off yet.

Oh I agree that it's the right result.

I don't think Crews should be made to look like a bitch though.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

But Naomi your husband...

 

[sf2fanatic]

I'm ready for Dance Dance Revolution!!

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

So are they gonna go with Naomi vs Natalya too?

Also...PLEASE HAVE EVA MARIE APPEAR DURING THE TAG-MATCH!

 

[plagiarize]

what the hell was that

Remember when Zack Ryder was Edge and he had another Edge as his tag team partner?

No?

That is what the hell that was.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Did Renee just come back from Whoville?

 

[Bluekaveli]

Doof

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Renee with the just rolled out of bed look.

 

[spindashing]

Lmao fuck you Ziggler I hope you lose and become super sad

 

[Fitts]

Nikki sucks. Swagger sucks. Everyone else is pretty damn great, though.

 

[Keyser Soze]

This is a pre-Heel turn promo

 

[plagiarize]

Oh I agree that it's the right result.

I don't think Crews should be made to look like a bitch though.

Right now, I do. Corbin already beat him clean. If they're rematching underlining that is the only result that makes sense.

Erm. Now Dolph is just doing Becky's promo from earlier. Idiot.

 

[Wagram]

Take away the mics. They're awful.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Renee with the just rolled out of bed look.

Dean getting in pre match workout

 

[Sou Da]

mega pop b o i s

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm rooting for ziggler I don't give an EF.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Ziggler really is a corny isn't he?

 

[PreFire]

Dolphins better win. Lately he's been a glorified jobber

And what's up.. AJ better show up tonight at least for a promo or something lol

 

[The Strokes]

So they'll copy Bobby Lashley's gimmick?

Well, if that's what it takes to get rid of his current gimmick

Yeah. I wanna believe that having him lose a lot recently despite getting decent audience pops is leading up to a character change/gimmick change.

He's a strong in-ring performer and if they can get him a good gimmick, he can still go over even if he isn't great on the mic. Fingers crossed the SD writers see this the way they've seen the Uso's or Carmella.

Yeah, I feel like this Swagger vs Corbin thing could serve to introduce a new Crews.

 

[Toki767]

I don't know how people still take Ziggler seriously.

He loses every big match he's ever in.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Ziggler ripping off Becky's promo

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Ziggler with that bootleg Becky promo.

SymbiantXenos, my man!

 

[Dick Justice]

YOU DON'T BELONG ZIGGLER, FUCK OFF.
