“With The First Pick In The 2019 WWE Draft...”: 10/11/19 WWE SmackDown on FOX (Draft Edition)

[DaylitoJames]

Please make the Smackdown thread for next week. @DaylitoJames I wanna see what tags you come up with.

I'll try breh but truth be told the main reason I started to make the Smackdown threads was that it was that time period that nobody were making them or waiting until the very last second to do so and I was like....

I'm glad the weekly thread is being made regularly again with the "Pi'Raw/SDSet" stanning poppin' off. If I notice a Smackdown thread is not made at a reasonable time then best believe I'll make it

And Smackdown lost a million viewers. It was a novelty week for everyone.

They deserved to lose more viewers for that shyt they put out last night. FOX already said that they just wanted to average more than the 2.2 RAW was getting and then build from that, so 2.8 is where they probable want to settle at but this past week showed that Vince still has to much control over creative. Heel Bayley needs to open SD and The Fiend needs to pick his next target, because they need to quickly move away from this Seth Rollins bullshyt.

Reading different recaps about the show, and everyone overwhelmingly has said the same thing about Kofi losing the title to Brock in the way he did and his portrayal going forward — “That’s it?”. Your champ that had an amazing run from February to August and it ends in an obliterating squash, and he basically acted like it never happened, along with the WWE themselves not really even acknowledging it and moving on to Brock/Cain?? I’ll say once again, start investing your time into AEW, NXT, and NWA.

AEW is good for 1 match and 1 promo, but just like this past episode of SD everything in between is complete shyt. NXT to me is the more balanced show which isn't a shock, but I think in the end SD will be the better big budget show. I expect RAW to be Vince's playground and AEW has to do more than have a bench clearing brawl to end every show. I'm also interested in seeing what Impact is going to do on AXS going forward.

Other than the women’s match and me not caring about Darby Allin and Havoc (though Darby coming out on a skateboard to attack Jericho was ), I enjoyed the show. The crowd is pretty much into everything. NXT was good pretty much from start to finish. I’m curious to Impact’s AXS shows as well, as long as the shows aren’t in Vegas, cause I watched clips of this week and that crowd sounded worse then Corpus Christi.

And I said two weeks ago that SD is gonna end up turning into Raw, and Raw will be Super Raw, and that’ll be another reason not to view either. Props to the Bayley stuff though. That’s all I watched from SD.

You didn't comprehend that correctly....

If Seth is Universal Champ and is drafted to Smackdown or is involved in a trade he would be automatically stripped of the Universal Title being that it is exclusive to RAW.

The only way the Universal Title works on Smackdown is if RAW keeps Rollins but trade him for Lesnar the next day or end of that week... Thing is they would have to probably create a new Universal Title.

So you saying they would basically be making shyt up on the fly. Got ya

that’s exactly what I was saying, they brought him out to do that breast cancer awareness thing like nothing happened. Then put them in a random match with no story. What’s going to be even worse is they probably separate him and Brock so he never gets payback. That’s bad creative, they lose fans because of shyt like this.
Tv shows as a whole pay a whole lot more attention to details than they did 20 years ago. People aren’t trying to watch a show with so many plot wholes and incomplet stories.

 

[VegetasHairline]

Roman Reigns should have done the breast cancer segment. He should basically be WWE's spokesperson for cancer.

Kofi should have came out with some type of weapon and destroyed both Lesnar and Velasquez. shyt, you could have had the entire New Day just destroy them. That shyt last night was pathetic.

Then put them in a random match with no story. What’s going to be even worse is they probably separate him and Brock so he never gets payback. That’s bad creative, they lose fans because of shyt like this.

It maybe, MAYBE, would be okay if he got interrupted while trying to get back at Brock, like him coming out to talk his shyt, but then another guy came out and a feud started that way.

The first time we see Kofi after getting squashed is dancing with a plate of pancakes, then having a match against a trio that's going to be on another show

The reason I don't think SD will turn into RAW is because of FOX, they don't need the WWE like USA does so if it doesn't work out they'll be fine. Vince knows that he can get away with whatever he wants on RAW because he knows that they're all USA has outside of Modern Family reruns. This past week felt like the wrestlers were paying for Vince's horrible decision at HIAC, because all though neither season premiere was perfect they were a million times better than what happened this week. The troubling thing for AEW is that it doesn't seem like they're stealing fans from the WWE, and WWE getting 2x the ratings on a Friday than AEW on a Wednesday is weird. Honestly I just want all the shows to do 3mil plus a week because I miss the days of WWF, WCW & ECW

Props to Bayley for just standing there & not reacting so that the visual of this came off great. A happy accident that worked out because she didn't try smacking it away or anything

She does a lot of little things that people don't notice. I like how when Charlotte went for the Figure 8 Bayley actually grabbed her hair to take her down with the roll up, it's minimal but makes so much sense because you don't have to wait for the person to duck their head so you can grab them around the neck.

 

[Slic Ric]

Yea I've picked up her & Sasha do the little things which make their matches better, they even do things the men dont do. Banks is literally the only wrestler I know that actually attempts to put her hands up when being punched in the corner of the ring or anywhere

No the first time we see him, is wearing pink and giving out a pink title for WWE's sponsors. i mean charities.. it wasnt a good look
