8/9 : Smackdown Live!

Team Canada 2.0 (WWE version)

All they need is for Tyson (miraculously) to return with Natyla and they have the perfect "foreign invaders" stable. You know Vince would instantly drop the ball on it.

from Spurs Nation/Bills Backer HQ

I think his career is over.

But they have Dillinger in NXT if they wanted to bring someone else into it. Even Tyler Breeze could be added in it somehow if they wanted, at least for one SS match.

Yay, Alexa Bliss!

I think the heel Eva Marie thing is pretty funny.

Eva Marie is beautiful, but everything about her to, from, and in the ring just looks awkward like her movements are from a video game.
It seems like going to a Smackdown event for fans just isn't as prestigious as RAW. Crowd reactions, involvement, and apparent IQ (knowledge of WWE) just doesn't match RAW right now.

I never even knew Eva won the diva search. Actually, I never even knew wwe had a diva search a few years ago to begin with lol

My God this Eva stuff is great. Couldn't do it any better. And this better end up with her match defeating Asuka/Bayley loser for the SD's Women's title in her first match. That would get her great heat.

2.455 last night. Better than the Olympics which averaged 1.87 from ~7-12pm on NBCSN.

Compare it to the regular NBC coverage. No way they beat that is there?

Nah I don't think so. But I don't know for sure. The NBC ratings weren't on the table I saw, just NBCSN.

If Rhyno Wins We Riot!

Sucked that Heath Slater lost to an old and fat Rhyno.

Shame on this crowd, all night.

Don't worry, Raw next week is in Corpus Christi, so the crowds will be bett....

lol seriously, don't get why WWE continues to go to horrible crowd cities, many of which don't draw as great of numbers. Surely they have YEARS of data to back up attendance numbers, and just general info in terms of which crowds make for good tv and which ones don't. Crowd for SD wasn't good AND attendance was in the 4000s. How is that acceptable at all? I think any crowd under 10,000 for a TV event, that isn't a loud crowd, shouldn't get privilege of getting TV events at all.

That's why they don't do much Canada TV I bet.

Re: 8/9 : Smackdown Live!

Might have more to do with making sure they don't over saturate a market(remember they need to sell tickets to Live events too). But yeah, only selling 4,000 screams never go back.

I don't even know why they don't do so many canadian tv events when they still do alot of house shows here. Roadblock sold out, and that was just basically a televised house show. Before SS this year, they never had a PPV in Toronto in 10 years, and many fans would say Toronto is one of the better wrestling crowds out there, on the level of a St.Louis,New York,Chicago,Montreal ect.

Re: 8/9 : Smackdown Live!

Hey I was there! Lol

My first WWE show since the famous Stone Cold/Booker T brawl in the grocery store back in 2001.

The crowd was pretty lit to be honest. Really loud and rowdy. Maybe they toned it down on TV, because I noticed too how quiet it was but people were really into it. Especially the Alberto del Rio/Randy Orton match. The matches that people weren't into were Divas and Ryno/Slater match.

As for Eva Marie incident. She covered her breast then the top came apart. It was pretty funny, some people didn't even know it happened.

Dean Ambrose defended his title in a dark match with Bray Wyatt. And Kane faced a local wrestler. Overall it was a good show.

Defiantly saw a difference in production tho. Maybe since it was going to be live, it felt rushed and way to many promos in between. But really liked it and would go back when they come back in another 3 years lol or even a WWE Live show. Our area is small too.
