3-26-19 SmackDown Live: A TNA Impact! showcase, AJ Styles vs Kurt Angle

[TOAD99]

see this is why the whole "women's evolution" isn't taken seriously by most and is over hyped, corporately created silliness

a 6'2, 200+lb Miz has to struggle his ass off with male security guards (which is obviously realistic)
but a 5'4, 120lb Becky and Ronda easily destroy male security guards like it's nothing (which is obviously propaganda)

Yo This shyt is annoying as hell. Wrestling is about suspension of disbelief, but it’s so stupid. It just makes Miz and the other male wrestlers look wack as fukk struggling, while they rip through the guards like they were superhuman

Why would Vince think New Day was a B+ tag team when they're the longest-reigning champs in WWE history?

He means Black+

Isn't it a good thing to break predictable wrestling conventions?

Its all good to start new trends and break tradition for charlotte

If you going to do something new atleast have it make sense, this is terrible storytelling, no matter how you spin it.. sorry..

I REALLY hope those paychecks make Asuka happy. Because as a fan, I'm suffering.

WWE creative's approach to writing is the polar opposite of George R R Martin. He writes an extra book because he's got too many pieces to move around in order for his plot to resolve... WWE would get a publishing deal for the sixth book after unpicking the Meereenese Knot in book one, chapter one then just continually tie and untie it until everyone stopped reading.

Smackdown booking and storytelling has been pretty damn terrible lately even away from the super botched main event story.

-Look what they're doing with Angle's retirement stupid and disrespectful

-Why tf are Shelton Benjamin, Sanity and Epico suddenly security for Shane? :jagfan: What's the story, Shane went up to them "Hey FYI none of you are on the card tonight....who wants to make 40 bucks?" Then Miz just kicks all their asses

-Thx to booking, Samoa Joe is slowly turning into Bray Wyatt.

-Someone pointed out Vince said congrats Kofi you're going to Mania but didnt specify for the title against Bryan, so theres speculation there will be even more random bullshyt they have to go through still next week. So many great twists and turns, just like the Women's Title match!

-Bryan, New Day, Usos have all been great and keeping the story hot DESPITE the best efforts of Vince and the writers.

-Why is Asuka laughing and cheering backstage with the other faces? Way to really drive home how she doesnt even give a shyt she just lost the championship in an impromptu match 30 minutes ago (Which was a fantastic match. The Mania sequel that should have been tbh.)

I know Smackdown has usually been the better show for the last couple years but they've really dropped the ball in this Road to Mania

Ditto to the corporate shilling of the "women's revolution". It stopped being organic looooong ago, and is now just a buzzword. The crazy thing about it is once they dove straight into this, it made the women look more helpless as if they needed coddling, unlike women in previous years, where though the division may not have been as good or deep, they weren't being treated with kids gloves. I think back to the amount of finishers Stacy Kiebler took, Victoria/Trish hardcore matches, Trish/Lita, Lita/Victoria, and even Trish/Steph before Trish even started being looked at as decent, and they simply just wrestled and entertained without the backdrop of "WOOOOOW LOOK AT WHAT THESE WOMEN ARE DOING!!! THEY CAN DO ANYTHING THE MEN DO!!!! YEEEAAAA!!!". It's extremely disingenuous.
