The Smackers Thread

This conversation is taking two separate things and smashing them together.

Should WWE have broken Ford off years and years ago and pushed him? Absolutely.

Given the current state of the roster, is there space for Ford to have a breakout singles run? Probably not.

When they put him in the Chamber match in 2023 it felt like a 'FINALLY' moment. Now it sort of feels like his time might have passed, and the seventh reheating of Street Profits probably is the best thing for him to be doing.

But, at some point, someone at WWE is going to have a long, hard think about how they never got him there. He has everything they should want.

The rest of the show was fine. Some fun stuff throughout, but also some rubbish stuff. Both the Dumpster match and ladder match had spots that looked far too rehearsed.

The AJ stuff was weird. I completely bought it was legit, but then they played it as a story throughout. If it was a work, it may have backfired (on me at least), as it just made me really sad and sort of flattened me out.

Carmelo Hayes is such a strange build. He was the same size as AJ, yet still seems pint sized.

It’s hardly a pressing matter I suppose, but what on earth is going on with Vinci? They redebut him after weeks of Vignettes, have him lose twice to Apollo Crews in seconds, and now he’s disappeared? What was the point of that?

I'm hoping they've changed their mind and decided to do something better.

He apparently is being punished because he tried it on with Stratton, Kaiser’s real life partner. Which is why he was chucked out of Imperium in the first place.

Oh really? First I've heard of that. Shitty if true especially someone that close. Kaiser is a lucky man.

Never heard that before and doesn't really sound true to me

If it's the reason he got chucked out of Imperium why would they then send him to the same show as Tiffany?

If it did happen nobody knows when it took place plus sending him to Raw with Kaiser would have been a bad idea too.

Where did you read that? After googling it, the only place I’ve seen state this is some dodgy Instagram account.

On another note, there was a tease for a debuting act on the show (that I missed, I must have skipped past it) that the Brazilian commentary team, for some reason, explicitly stated who the tease was for - find out for yourself here, but there are spoilers (link to Wrestlinginc)

If it's the reason he got kicked out then I guess we have a reasonable timeframe of when it would have happened

Imperium split in April with the Vinci being sent to Smackdown a week later in the draft.

If I was Kaiser I'd be much the happier with him being on my show than being sent to the show with my GF who he made the moves at.

We don't know of course but it all sounds a bit suspect to me with the timeline just not matching I mean why wait 5 months to punish to him?

It was discussed by some folks on twitter before his re-debut. Obviously could have been bull, but the situation is weird regardless.

I’m not having a go at you, Hannibal - but I I don’t think we should be sharing defamatory rumours that originate from randoms on the cesspit that is Twitter/X, much less do so without stating that’s what they are.
