Winston Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Wasn't overly impressed with the show to be honest. I was laughing at the state of the jobbers they lined up to face American Alpha and then the Ascension and Mojo Rawley turned up and added to the job squad. It's unfortunate to see American Alpha lumbered with such poor competition, the sooner a team like The Revival are called up the better. Â I find the WWE Title scene really weak too, although I'm glad they are getting the chance - Ambrose, Wyatt or Ziggler haven't upped their game enough for me.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 10, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2016 Do not waste your time on this show. You'll miss absolutely nothing. Unless you're really looking forward to Ben Hur or that Scooby fucking doo DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 10, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2016 The Ben Hur thing is really weird, they did something similar not long ago too with another film. So it's basically an advert for a film, with a few clips of wrestling thrown in? Really strange thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted August 10, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2016 One of those shows you get through in about ten minutes, should you be clever enough to realise life is too short for lazy wrestling story telling.I feared the worst when the opening angle finished with Ziggler accidentally kicking Ambrose, which is an angle on their regularly used "can't really be arsed this week" white board.Completely forgettable.Eve Marie was pretty good, though.

The Dart Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Raw wasn't as good this week as previous weeks, but it's easily winning for me. Smackdown just seems a bit meh in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I actually thought Smackdown was better than Raw last week. Looking at the individual parts (as I typically do on Youtube), it wasn't anything special, but watching it start to finish, it flew by, the promos killed the ones on Raw in terms of building intrigue for Summerslam, and the matches were perfectly fine. That said, we're still waiting for the first blowaway Smackdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 SmackDown feels like.... well, it's feels like SmackDown doesn't it? Â Everything about it still feels behind RAW right down to the main event feud. Â When Eva Marie and Heath Slater are the most entertaining parts of your show, it's concerning. They're really lacking in stars - RAW really did win the draft. Ambrose and Ziggler don't feel like top guys competing for the title. Â Are the Shelton Benjamin promos still running? Not sure if I'm missing them in fast forward or if they've ditched them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members gadge Posted August 10, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2016 No Shelton promo. Â This hasn't been a good week for WWE TV, and I'm usually positive when it comes to WWE. Â Alexa Bliss made a positive impact at least. Â Hopefully the Austin podcast with Ambrose is entertaining. Ambrose hitting Dirty Deeds on Ziggler here was a bit Austin-esque.

Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Â Are the Shelton Benjamin promos still running? Not sure if I'm missing them in fast forward or if they've ditched them. Â Shelton tore his rotator cuff, he's not returning now. Or if he does, it'll have to be another year from now. Â This week's SD felt a bit lifeless. I get they didn't have Cena or AJ but they could have put more effort in writing for the guys they had there. Â American Alpha should be huge in a couple months. I look forward to a Jason Jordan hot tag in a traditional Survivor Series match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted August 10, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2016 The absolute state of those Tag Teams. For all the arguing we did about whether to split the Women/Tag Division, Smackdown might as well have neither. Chuck Smackdown Eva Marie as a valet and maybe a Cruiser division and I don't think they'd be any worse for it. Â God help them come split brand house shows and PPV's.

Doog Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 To call this the B show would mean that RAW is classed as an A show - with these weeks shows that's a joke in itself.  WWE has gone right back to where it was before the draft, boring and plodding, the rosters are far too small in regards to actual quality talent.  I'll watch SummerSlam but I these brand exclusive events are going to be really painful to sit through.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted August 10, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2016 I really enjoyed this weeks show again. I think going into it knowing it won't be as "large" as RAW means it's a breezy watch for me, like a good B show. I'm not going to be super excited by it but I'm going to enjoy it regardless.

Snitsky's back acne Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016  I was laughing at the state of the jobbers they lined up to face American Alpha Jobbers are meant to look like shit though - you should see the state of some of the poor bastards that used to do jobs on TV back when I was a kid. Am loving that they are bringing back job matches for TV.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
