WWE: Smackdown Live part 15 -- WELLNESS EDITION

[GKJ]

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEBODY LEAVES THE FAMILY!!??...Luke Harper....YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!"




I can't be the only one who thought that right?

I definitely thought that

 

[Falco Lombardi]

What did people think about the promo the Uggos cut last night?

Quite frankly, I didn't understand all of it, but I liked it.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

The Usos are awesome. No other way to put it.

It was great. Really enjoyed them since the turn. Last two promos were great imo. Feels more natural to them.

2.175m viewers.

They're in a free fall.

Jesus the taped show did better!

 

[Emperoreddy]

This isn't surprising at all. Smackdown is an absolute mess.

AJ isn't the focus of the show which is a giant mistake. They have watered KO even more with this face of America character, and he seems even more disengaged. Nakamura/Ziggler sucks. The women's program is a mess.

Of course top of the card is the worst. They were on drugs thinking people would accept a Jinder/Orton program.

 

[Paris in Flames]

People barely care about Orton at his best they sure as **** aren't gonna care about him when he's paired with a man who has lost 97% of his matches.

I legitimately only watched yesterday when Breezango were on my screen.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

The thing is little old me said the ratings would fall like this with Orton as champ based off evidence but the idiots at WWE are blind.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Can we just talk about how becky seems to look hotter every week on smackdown while not dressing up like shes out there for a Mrs USA contest?

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Jinder Mahal said Vince McMahon changed the push behind his character at the very last minute. Jinder's push was supposed to be built from the character which he came back in (he came back in peace, but no one accepted him...) but Vince turned it into an Anti-American stereotypical character which Jinder wasn't too happy with but went with it once he heard the heat it got.

That's literally the cheapest heat you can get though. It also sucks that they're doing the exact same thing with Owens.

What possessed them to think running two anti-American gimmicks would sell at all?

I wish the old PPV system was around to laugh at Sunday's buy rates.

If the old PPV system was around, they would be quicker to fix these mistakes.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Shower thought - what if Orton and Jericho both became broken.

Who would be the true brother keith?

 

[Hypernova]

It was great. Really enjoyed them since the turn. Last two promos were great imo. Feels more natural to them.

I feel like they just yell random words and hope that it's funny or interesting. Usually it makes no sense.

 

[GKJ]

What has the Usos most over to me is how they always go on talking smack and call out the bullet club by name

 

[AfroThunder396]

At least we have Takeover the night before, so the weekend won't be a total loss.

 

[SeidoN]

no Black at Takeover? hes super hot right now :/

Apparently Galloway got bumped from the card so they could do the Strong/Young match.

If NXT wanted to bump up to a 1.5-2 hour show and introduce a midcard title, I would be all for it. Ohno, Galloway, and Black not being on this card is pretty insane.

It was indeed your finest work

But she never stopped looking good. If I'm going to talk about Becky it would be that I am very happy with the direction of her character these last few weeks. She's spent too much time being on the receiving end of whatever was happening and you're left saying "Poor Becky" and we're joking making Dusty, Hogan and Sting comparisons due to being and over babyface that draws sympathy due to what has happened to them. It's refreshing because even though I'd liken Becky's gimmick to someone like a Zooey Deschanel in "New Girl" in the sense that the gimmick is that of a "a little bit out there" goofball that everyone loves to death -but at long last Becky's finally not being booked like a total pushover. She's holding together Naomi and Charlotte who hate each other.

For a superstar opposite Bayley whose upbeat, cheerful image is supposed to invoke a sense of "I can do anything" the portrayal of Becky Lynch has been that of the lesson of "Life is not fair"

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Pushing Jinder in and of itself was not a terrible idea. Pushing Jinder with no buildup after an entire career of him being cannon fodder was a terrible idea. What were they thinking? How did they expect anybody to take Jinder as a serious threat? Why are his 2 servants so tiny?

 

[These Are The Days]

For as bad as the "Welcoming Committee" angle has gone at times I actually like what it has done for the SDL women's division. They're all getting their exposure, they're all getting character development (well... except Snuka) and it's been booked well enough to where I'm actually looking forward to the matchup at Backlash. Meanwhile on Raw the whole thing has been a total mess outside of Bayley vs Bliss in the sense that I can't logically tell what is going to happen next. A face turn for Nia Jax feels inevitable but I don't know how they'd going to keep a monster babyface down.

I feel like the door is open for the ultimate betrayal by Becky Lynch where she turns on Naomi and Charlotte and beats the heck out of them. If it actually happened I can't imagine it not being the most shocking moment of the year.

He wasn't even competing for the us title or intercontinental title before that.

He wasn't even really on shows before that.
