[11/24] SmackDown: The Blacker Friday (on FS1)

Who is this? I can't tell a lot of the women apart if they ain't in their ring gear

Pretty sure that’s Aaliyah. Looks like she got bolt ons now and dyed her hair.

Trips has been sailing by simply by not being Vince. There isn't a damn storyline that he inherited that he made better or came up with a new one that put asses in seats.

Bingo. Also just my opinion but this has been a terrible go home show for one of their biggest PPVs of the year.

Just they repeat the rules for

Royal Rumble
MITB
EC

They explain them once at the event, they don't beat you over the head with it every week.

 

[Vic Damone. Jr]

See what you did Charlotte

 

[Vice Queen]

I forgot this was FS1, the church clock started going off

 

[Rell84shots]

They delivered a D- episode in one of the hottest wrestling cities.

Breh they on FS1, highly doubt they were going to go all out especially after this past Monday.

Has he, or are we just saying that because Vince is no longer in charge of creative? RAW continues to lose viewers and that's the show he has the most influence on, and this tag title match was just an excuse to get Judgement Day on the show. Crown Jewel & Fastlane were duds and he took the tag titles off of Cody & Jey despite the fans loving them as a team.

I think his booking is good, not great. He's consistent with his plans, doesn't do random stops and starts, has humor on the show without going too stupid or gross, lets matches breathe, knows the money is in the chase, and uses multiple factions to allow so many more people to be meaningfully involved on the shows.

That said, he doesn't seem to ever be willing or able to quickly shift gears to take advantage of a situation, shies away from short matches when we need more of them, doesn't let the faces get enough big wins, and has a much, MUCH worse eye for what makes a true star than Vince.

Overall his lows aren't as low as Vince's, but his highs haven't been as high thus far either.

It was.....a show. But I'm still excited for War Games.

Good assessment of HHH, doesn’t insult you with cringe humor and what not but doesn’t push the needle. Plays it safe for the most part.

Those are my twins.

Fun Fact: The girl that plays Tiffany Stratton was supposed to play the role of Maxxine Dupri at first.

How Tiffany would’ve work out fine too

It worked out for the best, she's too good to have been stuck as a manager and not be an in-ring performer for that long.
