WWE SmackDown Live (8/22/2017): Pay Your Respects to Baron Corbin's Career :ppvbro:

[GOATpernick]

Not like Carmella has much going on but I'm digging the wardrobe update

 

[Silkk]

Why the fukk would NJPW or ROH want guys like Luke Harper or Dolph Ziggler

Have you seen ROH roster?

SmackDown Recap 8/22/17

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

How does your statement disprove my statement that his theme song is more over than him?

Let me correct it then, the arena was going nuts for him. I was there live. His pop was 2nd to AJ's

Wrestling needs a balance between character and work....they have sports...they need entertainment.

But Enzo's character has gotten stale.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

But Enzo's character has gotten stale.

And he is still 10x more over than everyone on 205 but tozawa and Neville

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Corbin is finished

Unfortunately, Rusev probably is too in classic WWE fashion, I kinda think Rusev vs Orton will happen tomorrow, but will be the full match, possibly even the main event. I just don't know what the plan for him is. They bring him back to feud with Cena, a sure-fire loss, then have him feud with Orton, another sure-fire loss. They're about to have him worse than Bray.

Wonder if the Kanellis' will be on here Tuesday, or is that experiment finished already

Usos and New Day should've been on the actual card instead of Show/Ass/Enzo

Hopefully Jinder/Nak can get started on an actual build now

welp to me

Which is another problem in itself but . 205 Live has been a flop so I guess they'll do almost anything to get some buzz.

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Yeah. But damn, if you're going to pay all of them, might as well put them to use.


True but WWE also has to put on some 50+ live TV shows a year. And that's just Smackdown. Eventually seeing the same guys have the same matches in similar storylines gets dull.

I could see if they didn't have people to swap in, but they do. I'm not saying everyone needs to be in title contention or whatever, but keep things at least a little fresh.

I thought about making a topic about it, but they should really start making stables. It'd be a way to try and get more guys on TV and give them something to do, plus it's been a long time since they had a major one (minus Shield and New Day). I'm surprised they haven't tried syphoning off this run Bullet Club's on at all considering they have 4 of their guys on the roster

It's clever how AJ is the SD champion and usually opens and closes the show, while Jinder has the belt

Stables and tournaments are such easy and natural ways to get things moving. I really don't know why they don't try that more, and when they do, they half ass it (Cosmic Wasteland/League of Nations)

I don't think clever is the right word breh.

It's kinda stupid honestly...



They should swap titles. The US title would make more sense with the rhetoric they have Jinder pushing anyway...



the WWE title should never be second tier.. this shyt isn't elevating the US championship, it's just making the WWE title look garbage

 

[VegetasHairline]

Why can't Uncle Luke get TV time brehs?

Luke Harper was getting cheers in a match against AJ fukkING STYLES!

fukk Road Dogg!
