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

[Rell84shots]

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.

The Gargano hour months ago was one of the worst things he's ever done

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

Can't have that mentality on a go home show, and that's not fair to the people that paid to be there. Also more people watch Smackdown so this is the show you want to go all out on.

The only match on the Smackdown side worth anything is the Women’s Wargames match

Not much else to do

Exactly, Raw was practically the true go home show.

No way they was going match the Orton announcement with this show.

Can’t use the Bloodline since they not involved with the show neither.

shyt was always going to underwhelm.

Ight im back home

From a crowd perspective

- LA Knight was the most over act of the night
- Becky and Charlotte were over
- Fans only chanted CM Punk when a segment or match involved women
-surprisingly Dragon Lee was over with the fans and everyone was happy he’s Carlito replacement
- anytime there was a clip of RKO on the screen the crowd broke out into Randy chants
- I went to go piss during the pretty deadly match, by the time I got back it was over


And the the dark main events were Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez for the title and Cody and Seth vs big head and dirty dom, I decided to head home at this time so I saw neither..

Ill be back at the arena tomorrow for War Games

You didn't miss much on the PD match. Ridge left Butch by just walking to the back and PD took advantage and got the win. It's just furthering the story of Ridge leaving the Brutes it seems.

You can still put on a good show. This episode really didn't need to happen, and absolutely nothing good came from it. The women's war games match should feel like a big deal, and it felt like the exact opposite tonight.

Tune in next week for part 3, or at Survivor Series if Santos gets promo time

 

[Organic Trees]

Santos is that guy. Wondering if he could debut a new stable to terrorize the LWO

Why wasn't Bobby out there for the hurt profits but rhea was out there for the judgment day

Was it like a test or something
