Golden Bee posted:Are we not even posting SmackDown results? Sure I’ll post them: Matt Riddle opened the show. Said he’s a Raw guy but wanted to visit his old stomping grounds. Cesaro and Nakamura interrupted him. Big E ran out for the save. A tag match broke out. Match ended With no finish when Riddle walked away. Some announcer caught up with Riddle backstage. Riddle explained he has no hard feelings against Big E but that the battle for brand supremacy is a war. Baron Corbin d. Chad Gable. Corbin grabbed the mic after and renamed Gable Shorty G. Again. Gable tried to defend himself but Corbin laid him out. Jey Uso and Roman cut a promo hyping survivor series. Roman showed great acting chops when he called himself King of Samoa. Rey Mysterio and Buddy Murphy went on a double date. This was a series of vignettes throughout the night. Asuka beat Carmella by countout in a number ones contender match. Bayley acted scared after. Sami Zayn cut a promo about how thanksgiving is in October in Canada. This brought out Otis. Otis was eating a turkey leg. They had a match that ended in a double countout after Apollo Crews ran out. Dolph Ziggler was on commentary. Seth Rollins turned out to be the waiter at the double date. This led to a brawl. Buddy accidentally hit Dominick with a servers tray. Jey Uso beat Daniel Bryan in an I Quit match in the main event after Roman reigns interfered and kept on spearing Bryan.

smack down resultsquote:King Corbin made his way down to the ring to start SmackDown. He was carried down the ramp on his throne and met Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler in the ring. The fans broke into a loud "You Suck" chant and booed Corbin when he tried to speak. He praised Roode and Ziggler's ability and loyalty.

Golden Bee posted:Are we not even posting SmackDown results? Just read the one from the week before or create your own summary Smackdown Results Opens with a speech by Roman the “Tribal Chief”. He says he’s the best and everyone else sucks. Some Divas do Diva things and eventually have a tag match or a couple of singles match. Lacy Evans is there. One of the Ilconics too. Lana goes through a table. She’s on Smackdown right? Either way Vince says “gently caress you Rusev!” Bayley and Sasha Banks are cool. 10-15 minutes of genuine entertainment. Street Profits do funny stuff and fight other wrestlers with more melanin than wwe likes in a good but heatless match. Baron Corbin and Zigglar do X and Y - hilarity ensues. An USO fights “Z”. Z is a established wrestler who almost wins until someone interferes. Big E either sits in catering and/or stares at a screen backstage at a strange angle as Vince says “gently caress you New Day and your threats” Same looping screens of pre taped fans throughout the show cheering and booing as programmed. Profit. Edit: so beaten by a better post DogsInSpace! fucked around with this message at 03:45 on Nov 15, 2020 |

Smackdown results: Roman Reigns opened the show with a devastating SuperKarate Chop that delivered some nasty and satisfying double DKO's in WWE's best moments yet. A few minutes later, he attacked Finn Balor while on the same platform and was quickly taken down. That came right after the referee turned off the fight as Reigns was throwing his opponent's elbow at him. He was soon getting up and looking ready to drop him with his super kick. NXT Tag Team Champions The Usos made a few changes this week to bring them back from a three-week suspension. Big E Langston and The New Day brought a new tag team duo with the addition of Big Show, Cody Rhodes, and Kofi Kingston. The rest of the team brought an entire new roster with the addition of Samoa Joe, Big E, The Usos, Luke Gallows, Titus O'Neil, and Tyler Breeze. Bret Hart turned on the crowd to sing "The Show Must Go On" before they took on The New Day. The crowd was screaming as the guys worked their way up and out of their opponents. Match Highlights: The New Day pinned Big E Langston with a splash. Luke Gallows pinned Samoa Joe. The Usos pinned Big E Langston & The Big Dog with reversals. Paul Heyman & Sami Zayn defeated The Ascension with an enzuigiri. Titus O'Neil & Tyler Breeze defeated The New Day & Austin Aries with a reverse tightsmare. The New Day defeated The Ascension with a back drop. Aron Saxton beat The Ascension with a running splash, before Baron Corbin threw him out. Lex Luger, Matt Hardy, R-Truth, & Tyson Kidd beat Team J.B. & D-Von Dudley. All World Champion R-Truth defeated Baron Corbin with the tombstone. Lex Luger won the Intercontinental Championship over R-Truth. The Ascension & Titus O'Neil defeated The Ascension & D-Von Dudley. D-Von Dudley beat The Usos in a battle royal with the aid of The Funkaduck & Big E Langston. Macho Man Randy Savage defeated The Ascension & Titus O'Neil with a sunset flip. Lex Luger pinned R-Truth with a powerslam. Lex Luger & Baron Corbin defeated The Dudley Boyz in an elimination match by pinfall. The Dudley Boyz pinned R-Truth with a splash.

Roman Reigns made his full entrance and congratulated Matt Riddle on his championship victory. Roman will not be seeking a rematch, and instead wants a match with Braun Strowman. Some tall bodybuilder woman entered the ring, took the microphone, and accused Roman of lying. Her name is Jade Cargill, and she called herself the "total package". She's been sitting on the sidelines studying her competition. Cargill said that Roman wants to topple giants, but there's nothing giant about Roman. Cargill told Roman to keep his thoughts to himself, and told him to watch his back, before sarcastically congratulating him on his name. Cargill said that Roman was too scared to go by just one name, and said that the giant she's representing was Shaq (Otis Dozovic). Brandi Reigns came out and tore into Cargill, but Cargill was unfazed. Cargill gave Brandi a lovetap on the way out before Adam Pearce came out to prevent the fight. With Roman distracted, Jimmy re-entered the ring and laid him out. He and Jey attacked Roman, but Riddle's music played, and he made the save. Roman's music played as Drake Maverick made his way out to even the odds.

Grendels Dad posted:To reiterate, having two "dark and twisted" characters on one show is tantamount to having two guys named Chris on the same show. We just can't have that, one guy either has to lose the Chris or change it to Steve, or whatever. There may or may not be a feud about the right to the name Chris, starting at Hell in a Cell. meanwhile AEW had every flavour of goth at one point to which lead to two different entirely different goth stables at the same time and all it meant was everyone was catered to hell we have two different wrestlers that have a half skeleton facepaint look who are a. not even remotely involved or related to each other, 2. i guess numerous people didnt even realise this til i just explicitly pointed this out

Rick posted:Bad luck, she did the spot where you are on the apron and someone running into the ropes knocks you off and she hurt her wrist on what looked like a normal landing, you could see her grabbing it instantly. That especially sucks, getting hurt on a routine thing. I dig Chelsea, she had a pretty great match against Penta that no one saw because it was on the later seasons of Lucha Underground. Been waiting to see if she would break out a little bit in WWE or NXT, but she seemed to not be doing too great on working the WWE style and then she got COVID sidelined and now this.

They settle into a better rhythm later. The commentary's never amazing, but I didn't find it terribly distracting later on.

Vampiro literally couldn't get through a women's match without sounding like he's jerking off. The commentary is the worst part of LU and a big reason I have a hard time revisiting it.

I guess? I don't know if I ever processed that idea or accepted it. Like Vamp and Striker weren't watching the show. Vamp was part of the show and the stories. Dario and everyone would come out and interact with them. I don't think I can find a line between the two. It just kind of felt like they filmed the matches and the commentary and then filmed the skits and never brought the announcers in to record new stuff. Which was mostly fine, but sometimes it meant Vamp and Striker spent an entire match asking dumb rear end questions we knew the answer to.

Lucha Underground really isn't a wrestling show in the traditional sense. It's a telenovela that happens to feature pro wrestling and I think the show is better once you look at it that way. The announcers not seeing a backstage skit makes sense because they're characters as well. Unless they're directly clued in on something happening away from the ring, they don't see it. Wazzu posted:One of the big issues (along many) was that Lucha Underground didn't explain it's rules (which really differed from normal wrestling). This includes to the fans in attendance. Think of the fans as extras on a TV show. They're a part of the show just like the announcers are. They thought they were seeing a casket match, not someone literally die.

But LU was a lot of interesting, different, and ambitious ideas at a time when wrestling was very, very boring. So a lot of that stuff feels weirder in hindsight when at the time it was just kind of fun to see something so different in so many ways.
