WWE TV 10/14 - 10/20 Randy Orton is the Tom Brady of WWE

[KawadaSmile]

Otis is THE GUY.

[KawadaSmile]

What if we broke up New Day and Heavy Machinery, but Big E and Otis formed a new tag team?

[KawadaSmile]

Miz is just phenomenal. 

Bayley's gimmick is that she started to listen to The Cure, right?

[Strummer]

Bayley doing the slow talking.

Another fuck finish to an advertised match on Smackdown is not what they should be doing. Not after the last two weeks of letdowns. 

They are incapable of resolving anything.

She went from a happy 8 year old to a moody 16 year old. Which is probably the most character advancement WWE has done in a while.

And TBH a pretty relatable character change

SmackDown was enjoyable. Not going to be a ratings monster but I had fun with it and even the 6 pack challenge delivered some fun moments.

Hope they are foreshadowing a storyline with Kofi getting upset.

[Coffey]

The last thing they should want is Kofi back in the world title picture...

Tonight is the 3rd week that Smackdown will have been on FOX & I already feel complete apathy toward the show. Week one, they had The Rock (and promised other big names even if they didn't deliver). Week 2 the draw was the Draft & that it was supposed to matter this time(if you ignore that the draft order was spoiled). So, what's the draw for this week? Because the announced matches... I don't think anyone gives a fuck. Maybe Roman/Nakamura? But Shinsuke's entire WWE run has been as entertaining as watching paint dry.

Yeah, social media numbers seemed way down. Fewer people on my timeline were live-tweeting it than a standard Tuesday night.

It was always expected this show would show a big decline.

That was word for word an old promo that Vince McMahon delivered like 10 years ago.

Coffey doesn't like Kofi.

Smackdown down to 2.44 million this week. Week three on Fox and they're already reverting to the base.

Clearly people tuned in week one on the promise things would be different on Fox, and quickly tuned away when it was apparent it was just the same old shit in a shinier wrapper.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin during his praise of AEW mentioned that if he were doing a draft in all of wrestling that Jon Moxley would be his #1 overall pick. I thought that was interesting. I don't think I would take Moxley over Roman Reigns & I'm pretty sure I wouldn't take Roman Reigns first, so it's definitely an interesting talking point, if nothing else.

[SirEdger]

Maybe it's because of all the buzz around Moxley since his WWE departure and how different he's been booked since he joined AEW. But I kinda understand Austin's praise about it, considering that Mox right now has a lot of similarities with Stone Cold at his peak in terms of attitude and mentality.

[El-P]

The flipping of the bird/hit finisher on Pac this week was sooooo Steve Austin.

[sek69]

I would gather Austin knows a thing or two about the desire to show your ex employer that they dropped the ball. It wouldn't surprise me if he sees Dean Ambrose>MOX similar to Stunning Steve turning into Stone Cold. 

[FMKK]

Was Austin making these comments on his podcast? I want to seek it out.

I saw it in a Reddit thread. That thread credits KIIS FM radio show from yesterday morning.

[FMKK]

Thanks.

I'm sure someone will clip it and put it on YouTube with a clickbait headline.

Roman is possibly the safest pick, which in a way explains why one would choose Mox over him.

Mox has a chip on his shoulder now, and despite not being as good as Reigns, the situation he's in leads to intrigue and interest. We know Roman is great, but we don't know how high Moxley can go after all he's been through.

Imagine Roman leaves WWE tomorrow and is a free agent. He would absolutely be the #1 pick.

[FMKK]

Mox right now is displaying a passion and energy that we never see from Reigns. The fact that he's been downgraded to an upper midcarder since his return from leukaemia is a really huge, yet underdiscussed, missed opportunity for them. 

[sek69]

Would he though? We know he can talk outside of the scripted WWE nonsense, but who's to say he's someone who would be able to work outside WWE? We've seen Mox do a complete 180 from the WWE style and thrive in multiple promotions, I'm not 100% that Roman could be a guy that can mix it up in a different environment.
