Daaaaaad! Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I fucking hope not but wouldn't be at all surprised if you're right. Fucking Ziggler again?!? After that shitty effort of a "feud" with Nakamura? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really thought of Shelton as tall but he fucking dwarfed Gable. I think that may go down the odd couple tag team route. Tease tension between them for a few months before Shelton finally accepts the team and they get a run at the belts, then he turns on him around this time next year.

But then it is just a rehash of American Alpha surely? Jordan didn't want any part of being alongside Gable and his goofyness until they started winning and then became less an odd couple and more equal, with Jordan always being the "better" of the two. That would just bury Gable further into "just a tag guy" realms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead simple match, great heat, dramatic nearfalls. Absolutely. Roode consistently had good matches in NXT, very good logical matches that tell a story. He might not ever get the Reddit MOTY plaudits, but that might be - as you and others say - that he works like a proper heel in his wrestling style unlike the Owens and Rollins of the world have. That's what I want from a heel, as you get a much better narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roode hasn't done anything since he came in that you would consider to be reinventing the wheel, it's just a take on the old Ric Flair act, and we all know how much HHH loves his old school wrestling. I think Roode will do just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Well, Ziggler is back, and EXACTLY the fucking same. Shit hair, whining about not getting this or that like a kid in Toys R us. Fucking awful Miami Vice attire. Why can't he just leave me alone. Him and Wyatt, go and be Holiday Reps or something for 6 months, fucking dreadful.

WyattSheepMask Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Ziggler will bitch and moan until his contract is coming up again...and then sign a new one and then start moaning again three months later, failing to grasp that he had the chance to leave. He doesn't add anything to the show, I can't even remember if he was at Wrestlemania this this year and can't even be fussed to look it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't been gone as such as he's been on house shows as much as ever, but his last match on Smackdown was July 4th. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 30, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 30, 2017 Funny stuff in the Fashion Files. Fandango picks up a leather belt and says "I know what this is ... it's a title." I love it when they play with this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Duke Posted August 30, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 30, 2017 Well the burial of Baron Corbin continues. He may be in the US title picture, but he looked an idiot and then was a punchline for Natalya. Oof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doog Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The behind the camera side of the arena was pretty much empty for this again, entire upper block taped off. Thatss what happens when the show has been dismantled to the B show again, all the stars have been moved to RAW. I enjoyed the show but it's not going to attract casual fans with the names on the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Found this week the biggest chore since the brand split start. It's like the exact same pattern as the previous brand split only over a shorter period of time. Smackdown starts off as the edgier, faster paced show of promise before being gutted a little while later to once again reset things back to Raw being THE show. It doesn't matter what they try and do now with matches and angles, the ships already set sail. Can you get a bigger WWE style roster signifier of what's up than having John Cena, Brock Lesnar and all of The Shield on the one show? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm confused about the debut of Roode. Him as a face going up against English, Maria's Husband with Ziggles in the pipeline isn't exactly what I had in mind. Guess either he works better in-ring-wise as a face (I can believe that, but the glorious character is pure heel all day) or because they thought the whole shtick would be so over he wouldn't get boos. But it's just made him feel on Tye Dillinger's level. I was hoping they'd debut him Owens-style against Cena but that's off the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
textonly Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 After the anal probe joke the other week, when Fandango picked up that belt I honestly thought he was going to go for an auto-erotic asphyxiation joke. They're already a great act, but the more "wanna get weird?"-era Johnny Curtis starts to emerge through the Fandango guise, the more I'll like it.
