When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.

Soothing Vapors posted:

You do know Daniel Bryan doesn't actually have any power, right?

Hence the quote around "allow". In kayfabe, it was his choice to put Shane in Survivor Series, and Shane overshadowed a good deal of the other 9 men in the match.

Shane is over with crowds and does cool high spots, what the gently caress is the problem here? He's part of the talent, just like everybody else, he's not actually a freaking executive.

I'm thinking Ellsworth gets wrecked by AJ before TLC in order to put heel heat on AJ.

Ellsworth is good because he's being used how he should be, which is:

- Put heat on the heels
- Have him get one over the heels before getting his rear end beat
- Give a pop to the face when they come out to save him

I agree with the sentiment that Shane's spot on the card could have been for someone who was good, and that I liked. Or someone that I didn't, but theoretically could have used his spot to advance their exposure and perceived importance.

Ellsworth is fun because he's taking what is traditionally a very dead and meaningless time of the year and giving us all a fun diversion that keeps crowds invested in the champ without burning through challengers before Mania season.

What's everyone's guess for the tag match on next week's SD, anyway? Wyatts go over due to the numbers advantage? Randy turns on Bray mid-match to let Alpha win? Or clean finish?

Wyatts should probably go over due to shenanigans so that we don't have a face vs. face match at TLC.

Jeri-KO aside, Daniel Bryan knowing that he's never going to be fired and using all his unscripted mic time to passive-aggressively poo poo on the booking is still my favorite thing in WWE.

It was really bad booking for Gary Bettman to let Paul Kariya kick out of that Scott Stevens hit
And then he even came back later in the game and scored that OT winner! It completely destroys the most protected hit in the NHL and erodes the believability of the stretcher spot

The scheduling for 205 Live is super loving dumb considering the cruisers didn't move to SD Live. So it'll be Smackdown Live, then a supplemental hour-long Raw show, then Talking Smack reacts to... the show that ended an hour ago? :geno:

TLC is going to be great for two reasons, the first is that smackdown live has some great wrestlers and it will be a great show

the second is it will be the conclusion of some storylines miz/dolph nikki/carmella and we will get new poo poo



I'm also not sure where they're going with the Dean thing, Shane seemed pissed af but the Daniel didn't really seem to care at all about the situation

I don't know where they go from there. Dean snaps and turns heel on him makes the most sense but then you're short a main event face (though I suppose Cena or 'Taker could come back to fill that void) and you have an awful lot of main event heels.

This would be a really, really good time to bring Sami Zayn and/or Cesaro over to Smackdown. Too bad they'll never do that.

I think the Nakamura/Joe cage match is being filmed at a show in Australia in early December so it's possible that one of them could come up. I know Joe really works as a monster heel but I feel like he could get over as a face by virtue of being "Daniel Bryan's friend."

Or just do what's always gotten Joe over, the Goldberg push. He's a big mean Samoan who doesn't take anyone's poo poo and wins all the time. Put some effort in and you've got a guy who can credibly sell a PPV match with Lesnar or Cena.
