Smackdown SPOILERS aka the Yes Era continues/Kaitlyn Goes MAD

[Larry]

they had the shield lose to do away with the weak link shyt. Bryan finally got his big payoff, now after this Sunday when either he turns on Randy, or Randy turns on him, they can leave this feud behind. it's that simple..


You can argue that they should have done it on PPV or a raw, but um.. They had Bryan go over Rollins on RAW which was pretty much equally huge and did a lot for Bry. Secondly, if you have Bryan and Orton go over Sunday instead of Friday, that means Rated Rk-No! is our new champions and the feud continues.. Nobody wants that lol

If they have Rated Rk-No! lose without fukkery, the feud either continues or is dropped with Bryan never really getting a payoff. So this makes sense to me. I like the matches this feud is bringing, but its about time for this shyt to be over.


Just let them cook breh

Bryan is most likely being set up for the MItb or to feud with ziggler.

and why doesn't wwe know what to do with ziggler?? He's not a cowardly heel( people don't hate the guy , he really should be a tweener and let aj/ big e do the heel shyt making him frustrated since he doesnt need help)so stop having him lose all the time or only win due to big E. he needs to be a cocky arrogant heel who keeps winning because he's too damn good and have him rub it in and shyt more till the people hate him , only winning by cheating in big matches . By him losing all the time it just makes him look like a bad undeserving champ .
@TrueEpic08 what do you think

Novel concept, have the champion actually look like a champion and win a little bit. It'll never work.

I've almost given up on trying to figure Dolph's situation out. Since 2009, they've constantly, CONSTANTLY built him just to job him out senselessly. It's ridiculous. Then, after a year of getting cheers from the crowd, he finally wins the belt, gets a huge, huge moment after WrestleMania (AJ's crying, great promo afterward, etc.)...and they proceed to keep him heel instead of turning him when they are in desperate need of top babyfaces. It's stupid. The entire way they treat him is stupid, and it makes everything around him look like shyt.

(Had to vent there for a second...)

The idea is good, but I wouldn't keep him with AJ and Big E. I'd let him fly solo, cut his own promos, and see how the crowd takes to it. At some point, they've got to let Dolph attempt to do something for himself instead of trying to preserve his close-to-nonexistent heel heat by keeping him with hanger-ons for no reason. If it goes face, let it. If it goes heel, same thing. But like you said, he needs to start winning matches and looking strong. There's no reason for him not to be doing so at this point.

I will say this about Dolph: I'm unsure about how much I believe in him at this point. The more time he spends with that belt, the less that I see him as a top guy. I don't know what it is about him, but there's nothing about his presence and the way that he carries himself that screams to me that he's someone that could be THE guy in any way. He's certainly talented, and can cut a promo, but I just don't have the confidence in him that I had even a year back. It might be booking, or it might be him. I don't know.

Take this past Monday for instance, first time on TV in 5 weeks. Hot Richmond crowd, just fired up by Jericho and his promo on his match with Punk. Dolph's music hits, you should expect a pop, right?

Nope. Lukewarm reaction.

It might just be a one night thing, but that really bothered me for some reason. And then he came out onto the ramp and kind of just looked like a guy. Not a star, but just a guy on the roster. It's not size or attire (despite the fact that I'm almost positive that I'm legit bigger than him, it doesn't really matter. Charisma is charisma), because CM Punk comes out on the ramp in his dirty Gracie Jiu-Jitsu hoodie and shytty jeans all the time and looks really fukking important in every instance. Dolph doesn't project that at all.

I enjoy watching him wrestle, but the more I see of him as a "main eventer," the less I see of him that would make me think that he's more than an upper midcarder. I hope I'm wrong though.

 

[Silkk]

Im the only one watching?

 

[R=G]

I'm watching because Daniel Bryan is ready to turn the world upside down..

 

[Silkk]

Blew the fukking roof off that place

Blew the fukking roof off that place

This really should have been the ending to Payback this sunday.

 

[I-Hate-You]

crowd went crazy

 

[DaylitoJames]

crowd went crazy

But Coke Boy don't hear them though

 

[QueensEnglish]

That ending and the pop

 

[TrueEpic08]

Finally watched the last two weeks worth of SmackDown...

All I'm going to say is this: WWE creative is absolutely insane if they turn Bryan. Not just because I'm going to SmackDown this Tuesday and want to see crazy face Bryan, but because he's legitimately the most over guy they have right now (the only guy close is CM Punk, and he's too busy chasing the Chicago Blackhawks through the NHL Playoffs to make an appearance) and WWE DESPERATELY needs over babyfaces.

Don't just look at the pop for the ending (which was insane, that should've been at least the main event to a big RAW episode. Hell, that could've been a great PPV ending moment), look at the way the crowd hangs on every little thing that Bryan does in the ring, hell, even in interviews. WWE's been looking for a #2 guy to carry the B-Show circuit for ages, tried to make Ryback, Del Rio, and Sheamus that guy and failed, and here they have that guy (even though the actual guy's probably going to be Punk once he turns) drop in their lap in the form of Daniel Bryan. It would be utterly stupid for them to turn him heel at this point.

 

[Honga Ciganesta]

Usual Shield goodness in the main event, when they hit the finishing stretch though it got GREAT, so well laid out Roman going for his spear through the barricade and missing this time, the RKO, Dean getting chokeslammed on top of Reigns and Bryan all round

Let's not forget Cesaro putting in work with Sheamus yet again

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

For those that missed it (like me)...

[ame=http://youtu.be/9h33fDQnBYM]Kane, Daniel Bryan & Randy Orton vs. The Shield: SmackDown, June 14, 2013 - YouTube[/ame]

Orton looks like he's bulking up again. Third strike.

I still don't see it as much of a big deal that they "finally" lost. They already lost a six-man by DQ to Cena or whatever last month and then it's not unusual for them to lose singles matches now either.

Plus, I don't agree with it taking place on Smackdown. I'm amazed people still watch this show. Should've been saved for a PPV, unless they are trying to make SD "must see" again, which I highly doubt they are.

I think once he turns face(as he should be), and leaves AJ/Big E that we'll see him truly shine. I think the lack of a pop comes from being gone for so long, and the crowd not knowing what to do with him just like WWE creative

We'll see. He's one of my favorites. I believe in him.
