i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle

Do it ironically posted:

im not sure why i watched that awful music video, but lmao that was as awful as raw was. why does eric ardnt make his voice sound like he's a black rapper from atlanta? this guy is truly an idiot but i'll enjoy his public downfall

if he just, like, enunciated and, you know, did it more like a promo it wouldn't suck so hard but he insists on slurring the whole thing and forcing this unintelligible growly voice.

They made him work with maintenance to rebuild the 'wall' he speared Jinder through as punishment.

in order to truly connect with the fans, he also took the night off and watched sports.

I have to laugh at Enzo's "gently caress the WWE I'm a rapper now" thing considering the video he posted of him in Times Square had him+the crowd chanting "HOW YOU DOIN" over and over again because it's the only reason why any of those people were there. He's a phoenix rising from the ashes or whatever but oh btw HOW YOU DOOOIN'

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I've only been watching WWE regularly for the past 1-2 years and I saw an NXT match recently from a few years ago with Rhyno squashing Elias and I was surprised by how over he was. When was the last time he was taken seriously on the main roster? Because in that NXT match they actually treated him like a threat.

When the roster split started him and Heath were the first Smackdown tag champs but because he is on Raw now he can't use his finisher because The Gore is much better looking than Reign's Spear.

And seriously, that script is one of the most depressing things I have ever seen in wrestling. Do not improvise! Time your skit to teh last second! Rehearse all teh spontaneity out of it, (and if you cant rehearse tell us immediately)! Use all of Vinces words, and if you feel you can't, then it is imperative you talk to him about it, (haha).

I mean, none of it is anything new, but it is hugely depressing to see it written down on paper..

So, they teased a match between two of their most over guys, who are also two of their best wrestlers, and then not only yanked the dollar away but also followed it by putting naomi in an awkward dance bit

This is the first smackdown after the billion dollar deal, this is their peak

It's like someone only half understood how interrupting Styles/Bryan got Nakamura booed and tried to adapt it for Cass.

The cycle of calling SD the good show only for it to soon after become worse than before is endless, sometimes it just takes more or less time than the previous turn

I imagine in their minds they think the fans should be happy. "What? We gave them something EXTRA! Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe, and more! Jeez people are so ungrateful"

I'M APPARENTLY GAY AND MY POSTING SUCKS.
Smackdown was still better than Raw.

The dance off wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It was pretty quick and painless.

New Day vs Bar / Miz was MOTS.

Obviously Joe vs Bryan could of have been great, but the two did what they could with Cass to make it 2nd best match of the show. Couple times there were awkward moments where it looked like Cass was a little slow or confused about what to do next when Joe was waiting for him to get back in the ring to wrestle..
