The biggest reason for me not watching Smackdown in the past was the obnoxious piped in audience. For the first time in about a decade I'll watch a full episode of Smackdown tomorrow.

I've never seen an episode of smackdown in my life. Good job WWE, you snuck one on me.

I seriously think Rollins/Ambrose is going to be a REALLY long match. Like that Punk/Cena Piledriver Match. The result is going to break my heart but only a little because Seth also owns,, so...

14 mins with commercials, distraction rollup victory.

Braun's running power slam is added to my list of "moves that should be finishers but aren't" like owens/rollins frog splash, zayn's blue thunder bomb, and AJ's springboard 450. That power slam looked like it should just END a man.

Can someone legit explain the difference between the teams? I get that they're different colors and correspond to the different bird pokemon from the original games, but is there like any in-game difference?

Do different teams get different things?

Are there global stats comparing how the different teams are doing?

Do these teams get different characterizations?

It's mostly tongue-in-cheek hate... unless you're one of those kids who thinks everyone is being serious and you REALLY hate the other two teams. Really its just an excuse to do "Us vs Them" hate.

I'd give a poo poo about the whole team thing if combat was actually fun or at the very least not painfully terrible.

Like 80% of the player base either hasnt played since red/blue or never played before ever. Putting in the actual pokemon combat system would make their brains shut down.

Tbh turning him into a gilded heel who cheats and sucks up while maintaining the golden boy image would probably be the most interesting thing they could do with him.

Worshipping the people in charge was something he did a lot in NXT too. Dusty Rhodes even gave him his in-ring name.
