Yup. That's what helped build BBBRRRAAAUUUNNN up.

Glad I’m not the only guy who enjoys torturing himself with 93 Raws lol.

If they went back to 93 Raw where they beat up enhancement guys, would anyone here be ok with that?

I would be, but I'm old enough to have grown up with syndicated WWF Challenge and Superstars every weekend. People who grew up during the Attitude Era and/or Ruthless Aggression wouldn't be okay with it. WWE can't unring that bell.

The Monday night wars pretty much killed the "free TV as advertisement/buildup for house show and PPV" product model. Especially now that WWE makes most of its money from their TV deals. It's no wonder their WWE Network "PPVs" are frequently underwhelming.

Me, you and Shiz can’t have a watch party.

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread

I enjoyed the show even without so many big names wrestling, it never felt like it was dragging on. I could have done without the champs losing non title matches but that's just the way they do business these days and it's not going to change any time soon. Fashion Peaks was great and I'm definitely intrigued by the Shane/AJ/KO stuff. The US title and the Ambrose/Rollins stories are the two I'm enjoying the most right now because they progress every week instead of the standard...here is you opponent for the ppv, now you're going to face your opponent in a variety of tag matches of the next three weeks booking.


I thought KO was great last night, declaring himself a Canadian hero and saying Bret deserved to be screwed but he doesn't

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread

Sometimes these types of matches just seem like lazy booking, but for once I think it'd be nice to have. SD before Summerslam, why not have a mega teamup? Cena,Orton,Nakamura vs Corbin,Rusev,Jinder?

Seems like it'd be a nice way to get people tuning into the main event. Or just go completely all out and add AJ/Owens in there too. 8 man tag as the main event of SD could take up like half the show.

Oh my. This opening segment so far is a nice troll job by Jinder

Just stupid on WWEs part. They just don't wanna make new stars do they? And just having the Fashion Peaks stuff dragging on forever. It was good at first, but spending like 3 months on an unknown opponent is too much.

Highlight of show was yet another RKO out of nowhere! It never gets old.

Good job Cena. No reason that boring goof should be champ.

Or are you more upset that a cash-in on Nakamura (that I think anyone watching wrestling for more than a week could see coming) now isn't happening and there is an outcome for a match Sunday that is up in the air right now?

Having some mystery and unpredictability around a match isn't as bad as some of you guys seem to think.

I don't want cash in on Nakamura, but still could've given Corbin more time to see if he is main event type of superstar.

Though no mitb does mean if Nakamura wins the title, fans can celebrate with no worries.

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread

I just want to see what Nakamura and Mahal can do with each other...such an odd pairing even though I made them feud in 2K17 haha.

Happy Corbin lost the briefcase...makes it so it isn't a sure thing even though we have had a few fails in the past.

I at least thought that due to the mutual respect after the match between Cena/Nakamura that Corbin would attempt to cash in on Nakamura at Summer Slam if he won only for Cena to prevent him from cashing in without it being an official cash in. Like he respects Nakamura, and he's not going to let Corbin ruin his moment, etc. They have one final blow off match before Cena heads to RAW next week or something.

Though I really wonder if Nakamura will win, I feel like he'll win by DQ with more focus on the Fatal 4 Way and whoever wins that is what I feel WWE will want us talking most about, therefore I can't see Nakamura winning. Kinda like Goldberg where he should have won at Summer Slam 2003, but they held his title win off for another month. I can see that happening with Nakamura.
