[04/10] SmackDown: The Post EmptyMania Fallout

[CJ]

Was hoping we'd get a full circle with Braun and Fiend but not till SummerSlam or whatever. But now I could see Fiend taking it before that and for John to return at SummerSlam to beat Flair's record.

Cena has to win the world title to restore his soul

 

[ALTRUISM]

man exactly

dude like when Goldberg got the strap but as soon as he drops it he like

if bray couldn’t beat Goldberg, and Braun squashed Goldberg...

Fiend gonna go back to losing big profile matches

Well, there's still the theory that Fiend's power centers around people that Bray's fought before and is essentially "fixing" them. Taking their characters that are fake and weak then reverting them to who they really were. He made Finn turn back to his prince form, Seth turned to his heel opportunistic self-serving personality, made the Miz his true egotistical character, and Daniel Bryan to his babyface indie wrestler self. The only one he couldn't beat was a man whose character has never really changed and has never varied off of his Goldberg persona. I believe that is perhaps the weakness of The Fiend and Bray; if you have no faults or doubts in your identity he cannot win. He preys on those weaknesses.

In this sense, Goldberg winning is acceptable. But the WWE isn't this creative or thought out with their characters anymore.

that would make for great storytelling, means WWE has definitely not thought of that at all

wonder if we’ll see Braun pull out his original mask

 

[Tres Leches]

So is brahn a transitional champ ?

 

[VegetasHairline]

 

[stro]

give me that Nakamura vs Pentagon Jr match

God I can lay this out for you so you don't ever have to want it.


Cero Miedo
Spazzy dance
Cero Miedo
Different spazzy dance
Cero Miedo but this time right in Nak's face
Nak does the noodle arm thing with his head in Pentagon's chest
COME ON
Knee strike 6 minutes into the match
Strike battle Nak wins with his pull back elbow
Back to Cero Miedo/dance taunts
Pentagon hits some kind of running strike that Nak does a flip on
Attempted arm break
Bomaye OUTTA NOWHERE
Canadian destroyer OUTTA NOWHERE
4 more Bomayes, maybe a roll up counter between 2 and 3 if they really feel like working

 

[MenacingMonk]

And kairi sane not getting another win until the audience is allowed back, in vinces mind punishment for covid

Having Naka job to Braun too.

 

[WHolla09]

The best thing about the empty shows, is that women, well Askua, Bianca, and the Smackdown women are shining. Especially Askua. I have seen so many tweets, IG, and GIFs of her. Hopefully she gets enough buzz that they put her in a great spot again. Obviously someone in the 'E sees something because they are letting her show out right now.

 

[FooFighters]

Mella and Dana as a tag team

The Brazzers tag team

 

[FooFighters]

Tucky at least better than Hoegan that orange b*stard had lust in his eyes for his homie Macho's girl

I thought Hogan was jealous of Liz

 

[FooFighters]

I just realized Mandy Rose basically has Eva Marie's failed gimmick from like 3 years ago

And Emma's too

 

[FooFighters]
