The Smackers Thread

[Mr Butternut Squash]

Yep, the Fiend has officially jumped the shark. And to top it off he's on Smackdown, the land of the real fighterzz, and away from Seth, who leaves the feud on his back but with the title. Same old Bray Wyatt.

Fucking Kofi man. Completely brushed aside in favour of real fightersz last week, out there acting a clown. Like Brock never happened and the last six months were a bad dream. Brilliant storytelling guys. Fucking hell.

Probably the worst wrestling show I’ve seen in a while.

Absolute state of all those backstage shots of the TV execs.

Right,  this was the first Smackdown I've watched in yonks, and I quite enjoyed it on the whole. Couple of random questions though. What is the story behing Chad Gable changing his name to "Shorty"? I get that he is a short arse, but is there a back story to why he was given/took a moniker that makes him look an ever bigger nobody than he did before?

Also, what was with the Robo-NFL thing in the Fox "boardroom"?

[FLips]

Segment for segment it was brutal. Poor Chad Gable, Wyatt is the same as ever, them spoiling their own draft and messing up the picks trying to work us. Kofi is no Tim Storm.

Only slightly interesting thing was Bailey.

Baron Corbin called him it last week so apparently that’s all it takes now.

The robot is the mascot of NFL on Fox. Like their version of Mr Chips I suppose.

show was dog shit and in a week I’ve already seen AEW and NXT Raw and Smackdown we’re clearly light years apart in quality compared to the others with AEW now doing a better job of being the biggest show then WWE can attempt on 3 different shows.

WWE were paid four million dollars by Fox for that show.

Four. Million. Dollars.

Was it intentionally WrestleMania 8 throwback with Becky and Flair

[The King Of Swing]

Small packages are kryptonite to Flair's. It's science.

Decided against better judgment to check the show out and tapped by the second round of picks, awful stuff. Watched Bayley's turn on YouTube

Why they didn't do that weeks ago is beyond me. Then again she'll probably just drop the belt withing six weeks anyway.

Heels have been bullying him for being short for the last month or so. King Corbin decreed his new name was Shorty Gable the other day, and he decided to own it instead of crying.

I haven't seen the show but.... seriously?.... they're going with Shorty Gable....this is not a joke?.... Jesus Christ. 

[Yakashi]

They trademarked shorty gable months ago. This was inevitable.

'It's such good shit!'.

[Bus Surfer]

Those 'cut backstage to Fox officials losing their shit' were laughably bad. So over the top and inauthentic.

Awful show top to bottom. You know Velasquez is bad at cutting promos when Mysterio has to do them for him. Smackdown have also been given the short straw in the draft so far.
