WWE TV 04/30 - 05/06

NO IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING BUT ZAYN IS SHARING THE RING WITH TWO OF THE ALL TIME GREATS JINDER AND ROMAN

 

THIS IS GOOD

[WingedEagle]

I wouldn't complain if every TV show were in Montreal.

[KawadaSmile]

hahahahaha yes braun/lashley/roman is the elite

 

fuck y'all

[Strummer]

From the sound of his promo it certainly seems they haven't given up on Roman. Even the announcers basically called him the uncrowned champion. Certainly seems we are getting another Roman/Brock match with them focusing on the blown call finish

 

What incredible reactions for Sami and Owens. Hot opening segment

[Edwin]

KO was holding back tears to the massive reaction he got.

[KawadaSmile]

Riot/Banks was of course good despite Sasha having some horrible offense at times.

 

The rest of the show, though... not good.

Props to Corey for working the Pittsburgh Pirates' home run call into his commentary ("Clear the deck, cannonball's coming").

[KawadaSmile]

For a three hour show, it surely did not have a lot of good stuff in it

[With Coil]

It's so nice to see someone develop a connection with the fans like Braun has. I would've never have guess when he showed up years ago that he would be the Braun we see now.

This is why I am a big advocate of the Hulu version. A show has to be REALLY bad for me to hate it. Most times, I am just like “that was fine.”

[SomethingSavage]

Even better are the 4-5 minute countdown videos on YouTube. Takes me approximately 10 minutes or less & I'm all caught up on WWE for the week. Catch the occasional PPV event or cherry pick the best matches from those cards, and you've got a winning strategy to remain a fan without sacrificing an absurd amount of your free time.

[Strummer]

Ha! Miz rocking the Johnny Lawrence look

[KawadaSmile]

AJ Styles vs Nakamura is now No DQ. Nice.

[Strummer]

Looks like they are putting Lana and Rusev back together. Lana dropping her accent?

[KawadaSmile]

BIG CASS IS AMAZING

[Matt D]

What's Bryan doing tonight?

[...TG]

What's Bryan doing tonight?

His chest was such a mess after the GRRE the doctors won't let him perform. (For real.)

[Matt D]

Well, it was a good run.

[Jmare007]

Nakamura with nut shot n°12 was hilarious, he's finally fun to watch as a character.

Lol I thought that was kayfabe

[Loss]

Another horrible Iconics interview.

[Strummer]

Three weeks in and the new look SD has been nothing more than decent to be honest. It's certainly better than it was but it's probably only been a little better than average despite the huge influx of talent.

 

Maybe it really was Road Dog's fault

[SomethingSavage]

The last time I consistently watched any WWE, it was strictly SmackDown from the beginning of the new brand split up through that Mania when the Bray/Randy shit took over the show. And then they were ruined with the shakeup.

 

Wasn't there another key writer involved with SD throughout that time though? I know Road Dogg was still in the creative mix (and getting most of the credit at the actual time), but I *know* I've heard another name tossed around in retrospect. Former NXT writer iirc..?

[Loss]

Yeah, Raw has suffered some, but it's still the better show thus far. Considering that they don't have to go three hours and they have a stacked roster, they should blow Raw away.

[C.S.]

Ryan Ward?

You do know that Bryan worked the dark match vs Nakamura after 205 Live, right?
