Paid Members marc2j Posted January 30, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2018 Daniel Bryan reading from an autocue is the absolute worst. This and that 205 announcement the other week were painful to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted January 30, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2018 I wonder if it’ll last longer than the TNA top 10 Hogan & Bischoff introduced? That barely made it into a 2nd month, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 On 28/01/2018 at 9:09 PM, The King Of Swing said: Loved the more aggressive Sami. He looked great beating down AJ. The "let's just stick all the women in one match/segment" mentality needs to go away. Heel Sami is awesome, I'm glad he's finding his groove on the main roster because he's been criminally underused since his call up. A World Title run can't be far away. Heel Sami vs. Face KO would be an interesting dynamic considering it's always been the other way round but it would certainly be fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sami's found his groove as the stooge in a heel double act, he's nowhere near being a World Champion. Take Kev away from him and you lose what's making him so entertaining right now. They won't turn Kev any time soon, he's the closest they have to a main event heel on SmackDown until the inevitable Orton turn. Which should be any week now.

Daaaaaad! Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 State of Daniel Bryan's hair ffs. Would imagine it's in that in between stage for him to grow it out in preparation for returning to the indies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the first thing I noticed, so much that I couldn't digest whatever he was talking about. Looks like a mid-90s student having just binge watched his Newman & Baddiel tapes.

d-d-d-dAz Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Is the beginners graphics package they’ve got a hold of a new thing? The ‘Rockstar’ ticker for Shinsuke and the ‘locked down’ gate for The Uso’s were particularly poor.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Yeah definitely new. Probably experimenting with ways to make Smackdown stand out as a different show to Raw. Looks awful though. Nakamura's rockstar nickname is naff enough without the horrible graphic. Just stick with King of Strong Style ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted February 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 1, 2018 In other threads I've already speculated (1) the boring babyface build for AJ v Nakamura could feature them winning the tag titles from the Usos, then when its FINALLY time for the two goodies to get feisty, sow seeds of dissension and have them drop the belts to Zayn and Owens. Or (2) that they could build that match for the ppv in between, and if desired, have Owens and Zayn win the belts before said match. Then start the spat proper between AJ and Shinsuke when they get beat. On the assumption, at the time, that AJ may not have defended the belt on Fast Lane (which we now know not to be the case). Nah, let's just spunk the match between the two babyface main eventers and the excellent antagonists away on the next TV after the Rumble, and give it a clean finish, with zero days build. No clamour for that match any more, with eight weeks still to fill between AJ and Nakamura. It's like they dont even want to tell a story. Except they do.... they want to tell, prematurely, a dissension story between the two heels, en route to a second consecutive Styles ppv defence with zero suspense that he might lose. It doesn't have to be hard to tell decent stories but fuck me...... Styles & Nakamura v Kev and Sami could have been interesting and could have been built to, but from bean to cup they've fucked this one up.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 2, 2018 It feels as if when they did the Superstar Shuffle last summer they've done a creative team shuffle as well, because Smackdown took a huge dip in quality and Raw suddenly started being a lot less bad. Could it have been another case of Vince not being happy that the "b-show" was being talked about in higher regard than Raw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Wasn't that around the time Road Dogg was pretty much put in charge of Smackdown, and Ryan Ward was no longer head writer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
