[10/4]It's A New Day Yes It Is: Official Friday Night Smackdown Premiere Thread!

[23Barrettcity]

Stupid because Kofi is never getting pay back

 

[VegetasHairline]

Y'all expected for Kofi to actually be able to go toe to toe with Brock? Especially when they're trying to rope in the casual fan. We just had a thread about Jack Swagger looking like a monster and being legit. When Brock actually is a monster and crushes the much smaller Kofi, y'all not watching anymore

If Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Finn Balor, CM Punk, etc... can all keep up and be competitive, why can't Kofi?

 

[RammerJammer]

And this show was trash. Rock was a feel good moment but even that was tainted but corny Becky and her lame Connor act. The women match was trash. I usually troll and give y'all shyt for being invested in womens wrestling but they are legit bad. IDK if they work too much or not but they are slow as shyt in the ring now. They really got a champ like Rollins scrambling around like a coward. Ladder match was whatever. Eight man tag was rushed where you got former champs getting non tv intros. And of course the Brock squash and aftermath. So basically no one came out good and only thing that will be discussed is Rock, Fury, and Cain. Two thirds are with rival network.

Anyway, its back to gang.

Yeah, even if Kofi won, the show still wasn’t good, I was saying that midway through the show

 

[TBdaGhost]

How do you sell what?
He gave Lesnar that work in UFC and threw him off his game tonight with the surprise. That was also 8 years ago and Cain is noticeably flabbier now so it could believably go either way when they inevitably clash for the belt on Sunday.

DC and better yet Jon Jones would've been better choices but doubt they UFC contracts would allow that

 

[Max.]

Like why do shyt like that? What is the fukking point of schilling like that? I didn’t even go to the thread to shyt on it even if I thought NXT was better. Like why?

Because i actually watched both shows and i saw jabronis act like jack swagger was cm punk

 

[Ribbs]

Another one



I have no problem with Brock winning but if you really think they're just gonna have Kofi win it back in a timely matter, then you're kidding yourself. How long it take Roman to beat Brock? How long it take Seth? Those EIGHT MONTHS were glorious to watch, yes but this old OLD fashion way of booking doesn't work for me anymore. This doesn't make me want to watch in anticipation for a rematch, this makes me not want to watch at all.

Oh, you think wrestling fans watch UFC? Regularly? NO! They don't know who Cain is! They fought a decade ago and Cain just started wrestling. So even this mini feud is tainted.

So once again...

 

[JerseyBoy23]

According to this ESPN reporter, Cain hasn't even signed officially to WWE.

[krazykid18]

Brock on his hulk Hogan shyt getting his W's back

 

[NYChase718]

Fox said

Get this ?kufi kingsley? guy outta here and we want UFc to main event your show

 

[Lord Beasley]

In terms of story and continuity

So Lesnar couldn't beat a Seth Rollins with messed up ribs...but can immediately beat Kofi...

 

[VegetasHairline]

The Fiend better squash Seth Rollins on Sunday.

 

[g-ice]

Because i actually watched both shows and i saw jabronis act like jack swagger was cm punk

Don’t get me wrong Swagger will never convince me of anything especially when the end of his Lucha run was cringeworthy as fukk but to lambast the show completely for that breh...cmon man. Ain’t worth it!

 

[Two Stacks]

It’s not that he lost, but they couldn’t give him 10 minutes? ONE finisher after a 9 month build? fukk Vince. And Fox.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

This is forever going to be the hill I die on with Brock and how WWE uses him. For him to do what they claim he does (bring in casual viewers, add a "big fight" feel, give matches an air of legitimacy) he doesn't need a title. If he's bringing the benefits they say he is, he does it b/c he's Brock Lesnar. Him being a champ is immaterial.

And this feud, just like the Goldberg feud, doesn't need a championship attached to it. These two dudes have MMA beef. They have history. They have stakes already. Throwing a title in adds nothing and it actively stifles the main event scene. Now, everyone else on the roster is automatically shoved down to the midcard scene and there they will remain, no matter how hot a hand they become, because WWE got tunnel vision where Brock is concerned. And we know this is the case b/c it's exactly why the main event scene on RAW was such a disaster for so long.

If there's one person on the whole roster who doesn't need a title it's Brock. People who are gonna come to see him or tune in to see him are going to do it regardless. It makes zero sense to handicap your entire main event when you get the exact same benefits out of the guy whether he's champ or not. It's baffling to me.

It’s funny because the way they shoved KO and Jericho to the side to put the ugly red belt on Goldberg to have his match with Brock that was already booked to suddenly be for the title while Jericho vs KO went on second or third is ultimately the biggest reason Jericho left and decided to sign with AEW.
