Btw I just found out Nigel was Desmond Wolfe on TNA.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Oh you didn't know that lol?

Had a pretty legit feud with Angle

[M99]

If James Storm signed full time with WWE then we would have all members of Fortune on the roster lol (Ric Flair, AJ Styles, Desmond Wolfe, Bobby Roode, James Storm).

[M99]

I am laughing so much at Breezango vs the Usos. Match of the decade.

[Onyx]

Backlash turning into Rocket League, that swerve.

[M99]

Jinder *bleep* Mahal

[M99]

[Casciavit]

SD has died.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

*bleep* lol.

I knew he was going to win when Sami won, no way in hell Corbin would have lost if Orton was gonna retain.

[footyfan01]

Jobber Jinder is more interesting than Orton but a mediocre wrestler with low credibility, so poor decision. Anyways didn't watch Payback & have no interest.

Holy shi* NXT, what a pay-per-view. Bate vs Dunne was amazing, a classic. Every match deliver.

And the Main-event, what a match, what spots, Gargano sacrificing himself, those ladders going bust, the German & that heel turn - Amazing ! Fitting end !

But anyways, IMO it was a terrible decision, they are both too small & will end up in 205 Live & the whole Main-roster potential storyline was destroyed, how do you come back after this?

There are too many solo wrestlers in NXT, few tag teams. DIY vs Revival, Usos, American Alpha etc would have been classics. These guys would have killed it in the tag team division & the heel turn & break-up would have been amazing - Wasted in NXT & they will get lost in the Main-roster when called up !

You are gonna lol @ me and Mole's a Smackdown hipster etc etc.

But i genuinely believe The Usos are one of the most real, unscripted sounding promos which don't include pipebombs going atm.

1:05 onwards.

Every Samoan I know speaks like this.

And what the hell is day one ish???

Also, just watched Smackdown. AJ vs Mahal was much better than Orton vs Corbin. Don't know what you guys are talking about.

[Onyx]

Don't mind Jinder being champ. Been impressive since his push started. Solid on the mic, has a character and has da look. Plus he's a legit heel and gets heat. SD live is the land of opportunity and the B show, so experimenting is fine imo.

[M99]

He is not solid on the mic at all. All the hate these "indie scrubs" get people like Styles, Zayn, Owens are miles better on the mic than him. The only reason he gets heat is people know he sucks not because of any tremendous heel work.

Also this sends the wrong message. Basically if you juice, you win the WWE championship.

[Kaladin]

Its nothing to do with Juice, its always been about the brand, brand expansion, awareness, etc

Thats why every promo is a marketing shill for the @WWENetwork and the @WWEUniverse

Its a miasma

Completely agree with this, although i should say this Smackdown as a show as a lot bigger issues than Mahal atm IMO.

It's just flat out not interesting, same with Raw without Strowman IMO. Only feud that was even slightly entertaining was Usos vs Breezango lol.

[Firenze]

stay mad lads

ain't nobody got time for vanilla midgets, about time we got back on track and started putting the title on someone that looks the part like they've been doing lately

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I genuinely do not give two *bleep* about the look lol.

I want to be entertained, i don't really care how you accomplish that either. Could have a bunch of Gillbergs and Ellsworths running around if it's legitimately good tv for all i care.

I stopped being interested because it hasn't been entertaining post WM.

[Firenze]

watching post Mania is where you went wrong IMO

I don't even know what Mahal sounds like on the mic and can't remember watching him wrestle more than a few seconds

heard they've ruined Owens lately too since he moved to Smackdown? his feud with Jericho was some of the best stuff I've seen in years, shame

Owens hasn't been bad tbh, he's been one of the best things on the show tbh. ( although it doesn't take much)

I'd say the only feuds that have even slightly interested me on Smackdown post superstar shakeup nonsense is Styles-Owens and Breezango-Usos. Rest has been utterly garbage.

Also last year post WM was really good IMO, Styles vs Roman into Rollins vs Roman then into Shield triple threat and Cena-Styles.

Plus the other stuff below that and i personally don't recall a bad PPV last year between WM and Summerslam, i expected this year to follow suit but it's actually gotten worse.

[M99]

Orton solidified himself further as a legend.

As mediocre as Jinder overall is, he is pretty solid in the mic, I mean Randy Orton is flat out garbage with the mic. My problem with Jinder is that he is a poor to mediocre wrestler & was a jobber a while back, his mic skills & feud etc are perfectly fine ! A US/IC title should be the maximum for him !

I have always been an Orton supporter but we have all accepted mediocre garbage from him for a long time, when was the last time he delivered in making a good feud & had top class matches. He should go to the mid-card & feud with Corbin (& no1 cares about that because both are boring) !

Having said that who cares about SD, NXT f**k the word - I will watch the Bate vs Dunne & Tag Title Ladder match again - What epic matches !

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Orton's issue isn't his matches it's that he's stale AF character wise.

He was great before turning on Bray.

[Onyx]

Jinder's match with Orton showed some good psychology imo, was working on the arm throughout.

Not every match has to be a fast paced spot fest involving a 100 different moves, flips, false finishes and a 'this is awesome' chant. If Austin was wrestling today smarks would no doubt be complaining about his in ring ability lol. 'All he does is punch and kick' etc etc.

[RealGunner]

Jinder is something fresh. Will get boring in a while but right now it's a good decision to push him as people do react to him. Doubt it's a long term thing.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I agree with that, it's JBL all over again. If it works cool but if not you don't really lose much considering the product in general is crap right now anyway.

Like i said, there's a lot bigger issues with the show than Mahal.

[Casciavit]

He's going to be a massive flop.

The sooner Vince realizes that Indians are cheap and that they won't be adding anything to his pockets, the better.
