Fuck WWE and Fuck Brock, my son Jim is crying because Kofi lost. Think of the kids, WWE. They're the main people who love your product. I hope to see Kofi win it again!

Little Jimmy!

Did I miss something?  Why are people talking about the possibility of Fury actually doing a wrestling match?  Fury is pretty much the best heavyweight boxer in the world, who's got a rematch with Wilder presumably upcoming, and is now capable of drawing serious money on PPV.  Why the fuck would he even consider getting involved with WWE?  

Cain Velasquez has the worst physique I've seen on wrestling telly since Braden Walker.  Zero interest in anything involving him.  What a fucking odd direction for Smackdown to take.  WWE has a massive stacked roster, and they're going for the worked shoot match thing?

It was alright, had a fair few memorable moments but the pacing is always bit off on these shows when they try to fit everyone on. The Kofi reign ending like that was shit though. 

Lesnar/Velasquez and Strowman/Fury are going to be good special attractions if and when they happen.

For Money, probably Saudi Money.

as for both him and Cain, surely this is part of the “Fox this is Sports” angle that are hoping for

[BomberPat]

Mayweather worked with WWE less than a year after being in the biggest PPV draw in boxing history, so I don't think it's out of the question that Fury would work with them for that kind of money.

The Wilder fight isn't until February, and that depends how Fury's eye heals in the coming months. Doing wrestling for a few weeks in October, while he heals up, is a good pay day. Potentially opens Fury up to another fan base too.

Watched the highlights of this on YouTube, which is already more interest than I show Smackers most weeks. Wonderful having The Rock back and he was used well - Becky was the most charismatic and starry I’ve seen her in ages in the presence of Rock’s greatness.

The Velasquez thing was intriguing and I don’t doubt he’d destroy his opponents but he definitely needs to put a top on. Otis has got the ‘gut hanging over bottom half of clothes’ gimmick covered right now.

Kofimania had run its course but I didn’t think the end was too bad. He tried to just go for it, got caught, and when you get caught by Brock, you’re done. Made sense - and I still want to see how Kofi might bounce back from the loss.

If they don’t bring Brock’s missus into the mix for a Cain and Sable gag, I’ll be raging. Also, Fury’s going to call someone a faggot on live TV, isn’t he?

I saw a video with Fury saying he will be on Raw this Monday. So I guess he's also getting a big Saudi paycheck soon

[Snitsky's back acne]

I do think giving Fury a live mic could be... interesting..

Are we going with a wrestling match for Fury or some boxer v wrestler 'exhibition' thing? 

[Fox Piss]

I was just expecting a couple of tv segments with maybe a gimmicked punch and Fury costing the dosser a match down the line.

Fuckin UFC Smackdown.

Had to Google who both Cain Velasquez and Tyson Fury were. So glad WWE is now a real combat sport and not that silly dramatic rubbish.

I appreciate the point here, but Velasquez was one of the biggest stars in UFC over the past decade and actually beat up Brock Lesnar, so there's history between them. Lesnar the WWE champ and Lesnar the UFC fighter are the same character on the show.

Tyson Fury is also one of the biggest names in his sport right now, he's nowhere near Mike Tyson level famous, but he's a big star. I doubt many wrestling fans were making the same complaint when Stone Cold and Iron Mike had their moment.

Fixed it for you.
