5 Matches?

this a 2 hour PPV or?

5 Matches?

Was wondering the same thing.

 

[SeidoN]

oh its 6 matches, I forgot to include the Tag Team Semi-Final re-do

 

[The Gongshow]

Wondering if Corbin vs Kalisto rivalry will continue here? or if Crews gets a match

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Kalisto is still hurt.

 

[These Are The Days]

I'm very underwhelmed by this. In SD's defense they didn't have much time to build for Backlash but I wish we could've gotten more out of it

 

[Shoalzie]

Actually...6 matches (tag x 2). I have to think it goes 3 hours.

They've also had the awkward process of debuting two new titles in that short build up time too. Doing that never helps, let alone twice at once. But it's something that had to be done, so it has to be done now really.

 

[Sheppy]

For anyone who doesn't have the network. How much will this PPV cost if you were to order it? Just curious if it would still be like 50$.

(I have the network, but i would assume this ppv would be at a lower cost)

 

[ColePens]

It would be ****ing awesome to have them be 2 hour shows. My guess is no way.

Are they still doing the "get the first month free; cancel anytime" thing?

Showing $54.99+ on my TV. Down from the usual $59.99+ I think?

 

[Dr Pepper]

It'd be nice if it wasn't mandatory to already have a cable provider in order to get the network.

Why couldn't they follow the same path Netflix took, and just have it available online? I don't have cable, so there's no way I could join even if I wanted to.

I believe it's that way in the States but not in Canada. If it was just an App or something I could download to my PS4 I'd have got it years ago. As is I'm not going to the effort of adding it to my package.

When I had the Network last year I just used a VPN and got the American Network. I cancelled my subscription last summer and just pick up crappy free streams when I feel like watching a show now but I would assume you can still do that.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Ideal results for me...

Ambrose retains
Miz retains but get it off him quickly after that...like the next Smackdown.
Usos win the tag titles.
Bliss wins the Women's title.
Bray wins through heel tactics.

Baron Corbin probably wins a match they make up the day of the show. lol

How dare you cheer against Beauty and the Man Beast

Corbin vs Kane or Crews prolly

[The Gongshow]

If its a 3 hour show we should get some long matches which could be good depending on storytelling and the crowd. I’m worried that Deans style won’t work well with AJ’s tho.

Orton vs Bray is my guess for match of the night

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I don't cheer against Beauty and the Man Beast. I just want the Free Agent Heath Slater gimmick to continue. The tag titles on those two would be kind of lame to be honest. I like the pair but they shouldn't be the inaugural champs. I don't like the idea of putting the titles first on what is a joke tag team.

And I would like to see Smackdown start a weekly thing of putting either a specific title on the line each Tuesday or a cycle of it. Considering their state, I think featuring a championship match every week or pretty close to every week would be an excellent way to move the needle a bit and have something to promote from one week to the next.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I'm sure there will be some impromptu segments. Corbin will probably do something, I'm sure Crews will show up. Maybe Jordan will have a singles match. Soemone will cut a promo about something. There will be plenty of content.

Don't worry about that, Styles can carry him easy.

But I'm not worried about content or anything, the card looks good to me. I'm more interested in if they have a tighter show or try and keep to three hours long. There were rumours of doing shorts PPVs with the split.
