C.S. Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I hope Carmella wins the title. She's the only interesting woman on Smackdown. Who the hell is this Eaton kid? The only Eaton I care about is Beautiful Bobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 The preshow panel feels too forced for my liking. I like the idea in theory I am just not a terribly big fan of the execution. I'm trying to be more positive, not just toward WWE or this show but in general as I think I'm a terrible person. I have to get out of the mentality of automatically thinking about the negatives instead of focusing on the positives. I think it's awesome that we still have Jerry Lawler with us, for example. One of the greatest pro-wrestlers of all-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Crews vs. Corbin was worlds better than I thought possible. Possibly both men's best match yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpst Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Nothing to give the show that "episode of TV" feel like opening with an authority figure promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I know I said I wanted Carmella to win, but I hope Naomi wins based on that entrance and outfit alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm doing a live blog over at Segunda Caida, even though I don't really know tons of the card. http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2016/09/wwe-backlash-2016-live-blog.html Slater and Rhyno were awesome on the pre-show. Anyone who missed their segment should seek it out. Funny, funny stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpst Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 That sharpshooter tapout was really weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Women's match started pretty strongly with Alexa Bliss shockingly looking great, but once the eliminations got going they really rushed through them in short order without a whole lot in between each one. Felt like a big win for Lynch, but not sure why it had to be that rushed, especially given the long promo to open the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I know I said I wanted Carmella to win, but I hope Naomi wins based on that entrance and outfit alone. If we are basing winning on outfits then Alexa Bliss should be champ for many months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Aside from that one botch I thought that was a really good match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Flyer Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Thought every worker in the match came off great in their parts. Even with the botch, Naomi showed new and exciting stuff. Great opener. Happy for Becky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I have been digging David Otunga on commentary. His remark about Mojo using the crowd to make all of his matches a home game made a lot of sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Just to throw it out there in case anyone is following along with the thread & not watching the show, they did do a backstage segment where Bray Wyatt injured Randy Orton, which I assume if their "out" to get him out of the match.

hammerva Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Even though Becky was the first women's pick I don't think most people thought she would win the title. She has been made to look like a loser for years. Good for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 This was a bit of great booking on the fly. I'm sure AA were supposed to win the belts, but the Slater/ Rhyno team took off as fan favorites. So they have Gable "get hurt" by the Usos who needed to turn heel, because they totally didn't want AA facing a Slater/ Rhyno team that the fans are loving.

Coffey Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Uso's use Konnan's old Tequila Sunrise as a finish now? That's pretty cool. The double team jumping kick to the leg is a death move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I like the idea of the Usos as Samoan Andersons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 And having Heel Usos change their finisher to the leg kick into a submission is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 They should protect the Uso's double-team knee kick the way they do Randy Orton's punt. Make it like a super move that injures people. Dolph Ziggler came out to very little crowd reaction. The Miz has been on fire lately. So I hope he retains, unless they're pushing him to the world title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
