Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

2) Why are orton/ADR in a feud? Meaning, what is the base of this feud? Because they tricked each other into losses? Because orton poured coffee/chili onto ricardo? WWE needs to give their feuds some background. There's no emotional attachment to any feuds or character. I think ADR's got a lot of potential but his gimmick doesn't make me hate him, his boringness makes me hate him.

Because Alberto Del Rioooo is the new Apex Predator in WWE!!

(Stupid, I know)

They teased a Miz face turn. That was the only really memorable thing that happened.

I didn't read much into that other than they're trying to make Kofi's character more edgy. That's his "thing" right now. He was too nice in the past and now the "Willdcat" has been unleashed.

(Stupid I know)

Also, please, please keep Miz heel. I know if they turn him face he will become a generic corny as hell good guy and I will end up hating him. I always said Sheamus would be a great face when he was a monster heel and I was right. But, he became my most despised character in WWE. You ruined Randy, you ruined Sheamus. You can have anyone but Miz, Cody, and Dolph. If you MUST take one, take Dolph.

I could see the Miz wanting to prove to everyone that he can be a trusted ally by joining Team Foley in the Survivor Series.

I mean he could... but he has no enemies on Team Ziggler and a huge enemy in Kofi Kingston on Team Foley so it wouldn't make sense to ally with him and bend over backwards to try to do it. I'd be more confused than I already am with the booking.

Makes perfect sense. Have him turn on Kofi getting Kofi eliminated during the match.

Yeah, that's the obvious ending to the match. But, the buildup would be dumb.

"I hate Kofi Kingston but I really, really, want to be on his team and a team full of guys who can't stand me! I promise you can trust me!"

"Um, why exactly do you want to be on team Foley again?"

"Um... I just REALLY want to be on a Survivor Series team! Trust me! I'm over the whole Kofi dropkicking me in the face thing also."

"But... you turned down a chance to be on team Punk/Ziggler."

"Yeah, they weren't a good fit. I think I'd much better on a team with Kofi... he's such a swell guy. Where do I sign up again?"

Just wouldn't make sense to me.

Helluva point.

But Mark Henry and Mae Young having a hand did? This is wrestling, remember.

Right. Which is why I originally said:

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

Wow....this England crowd, as talked about in the Raw thread, was as enthusiastic as a board meeting of insurance adjusters.

Although to be fair, the main event wasn't all that. (Man I miss the Attitude Era...)

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

I'm watching Raw an hour behind (Canada feed).

I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. Miz did beg to be on team Foley and got on after all, lol. This is a great angle with Bryan's jealousy. I hope it's Kofi who does the heel turn at Survivor Series instead of Miz with the double-swerve. I think Kofi would make a terrible heel, but it'd be a real unexpected swerve.

Re: Official WWE Smackdown Thread 2012

Kofi turning heel would be so strange. He just so clean as a character to me. It would be something that could set him back if done badly.

We know who does the terrible writing for WWE now :wink:

Yeah, the only heelish thing I've ever seen him do before Smackdown was just some of the tag team tactics he's used with R-Truth and Bourne (some ref distraction stuff).
