So JBL just put Byron down for Mauro questioning Del Rio's motives.

You're a fucking dumbass, JBL

 

[Angry Grimace]

They've had a lot more utter nonsense matches on the preshow than this

 

[Kyari]

Byron's "I guess there's method to the madness" comment aimed at JBL makes it sound like they forgot which of the two of them was confused by the DQ chairshot tactic.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Just turned this on, when did wwe get Mauro ranello? I liked him commentating pride and strikeforce.

 

[Mahonay]

JBL is out of his depth here.

Yep he has no idea how to deal.

King is really good with Ranallo. Paired with Ranallo, King has more energy this he's had in years. They should have them together for the preshow.

 

[Sanjuro]

Yeah, nobody watches Smackdown.

 

[Oldest_Ancient]

ADR is putting those educated feet to good use King.

 

[ghostmind]

Go home JBL.

 

[mreddie]

They fired they guy ADR slapped. And ADR came back with a huge raise. I see no problem with how it turned out.

Oh did they? Alls good then. It's just weird ADR got fired after the slap.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Best 2 out of 3 falls and they're going to play it up that Del Rio got the advantage by using the chair and taking the first loss. Del Rio is going to get the second fall and then I have no idea what's going to happen for the third.

You're right. Del Rio has this....

Spoiler

but doubt it

 

[Fox318]

tree of woe may be the dumbest fucking spot in WWE.

Its chikara level dumb

 

[mreddie]

Yeah, nobody watches Smackdown.

Remember when SD was the A show

/HOLY SHIT

 

[Jopie]

This has been a solid match so far, really like it.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Mauro is fantastic

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

mauro ranallo reminds me of the professor mike tenay circa 1997

 

[Heroman]

That shit del Rio does called the tree of woe?

 

[Skatterd]

Mauro makes me actually care about matches.

 

[Mahonay]

I'm not in the mood to be super cynical, I'm fine to just enjoy what I'm presented with.

I like the energy presented here.

Enjoy it now because it's back to typical awfulness once the proper PPV starts and Ranallo is exchanged for Cole.

Ranallo just called a Frakensteiner. I love this man.

 

[KingBroly]

Remember when SD was the A show

/HOLY SHIT

Remember when Raw was the A show?

 

[Bluekaveli]

Remember when SD was the A show

/HOLY SHIT

I've heard it's been better than Raw lately.

 

[Recall]

So fun!

 

[Mengetsu]

The commentary 😢

 

[SymbiantXenos]

I heard beautiful fuckin steiner

 

[Fox318]

Mauro is great.

fucking hell he should do commentary with Graves

 

[shwimpy]

Mauro is so good right now. I guess Vince doesn't watch the pre-show.

 

[Jopie]

Mauro makes me actually care about matches.

Very true, he needs to be on the main show.

 

[TimeEffect]

It's great to have JBL so subdued by Mauro and even Byron

 

[mreddie]

Remember when Raw was the A show?

Remember when RAW wasn't 3 HOURS!

 

[ghostmind]

I've heard it's been better than Raw lately.

I fastforward through RAW.

I watch Smackdown.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Worst part is that Mauro's going to be replaced by Cole for the show proper...

 

[Couleurs]

Mauro makes me actually care about matches.

Yeah, this is my first time hearing him since I don't watch Smackdown; he is really good. It's nice to have a guy with energy calling matches.

 

[Oldest_Ancient]

Mauro is great.

fucking hell he should do commentary with Graves

So much this, Graves is fantastic as the heel on NXT and Ranallo kills it.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Remember when SD was the A show

Nope

 

[Sanjuro]

Remember when Sunday Night Heat was the A show?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Great commentary by Mauro as always. Glad new fans or fans who don't watch Smackdown get to hear him call a match for the first time.

 

[Mahonay]

Worst part is that Mauro's going to be replaced by Cole for the show proper...

It's the worst feeling right now.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

That shit del Rio does called the tree of woe?

yes, its nice to have an announcer who calls actual moves

 

[Bluekaveli]

Mauro is so good right now. I guess Vince doesn't watch the pre-show.

Vince only watches the main event stuff

 

[Jopie]

Worst part is that Mauro's going to be replaced by Cole for the show proper...

At least with Cole we will get a few Mountain Dew plugs, and get to find out what is trending on the fake WWE version of Twitter!

 

[Recall]

Mauro is amazing. His precence and voice just stands out.

Both guys are dropping cool moves.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

This is a fun match!

 

[sf2fanatic]

Remember when RAW wasn't 3 HOURS!

Remember wrestling on Mondays was "AWESOME"

 

[pantsattack]

Yea for Mauro being on commentary. I wonder how long he'll stay there. Hopefully the whole show being it's a C tier PPV.

 

[mreddie]

Mauro sounds so good. I can hear his hype.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Remember wrestling on Mondays was "AWESOME"

Remember when you could see him?

 

[excelsiorlef]

Horrible selling on that 10 count from Kalisto.

 

[Cheat Code]

Did Mauro call it the Death Stomp?

I like that.

 

[Fox318]

botch

 

[Dazzler]

What a bummer Mauro isn't calling the show proper

 

[Angry Grimace]

Kalisto with the Gerudo Valley music
