Ten bell salute for Pat Patterson was nice but that fake "Thank You Pat" chant was really cringy.
Didn't even sound like a fake crowd and more like 1-2 uninterested guys saying "Thank You Pat" over and over again. |
:lol: at Paul Heymn pulling a Jericho with all the ratings talk during his promo about Jey Uso.
|
:| Bayley tapping out to Natty's Sharpshooter.
Match itself was whatever but before it even had a chance to do anything remotely interesting, it abruptly ended. Even having Bianca Belair at the commentary table was pretty much useless since she barely did anything during the match. |
Big E's new entrance theme is pretty cool.
|
Pat Patterson Tribute 6-Man Tag match was great.
That post-match stuff with Ziggy was very goofy though. |
Why is Sasha suddenly acting like a female version of Reigns Tribal Chief heel character during this interview?
That sitdown interview with her and Carmella sort of stunk. |
This thread is on fire yo.
|
Forgotten Sons minus Jaxson Ryker finally managed free themselves from the depths of catering.
They look a bit ridiculous with that getup as Corbin's bodyguards. Murphy vs. Corbin was boring though. This Corbin vs. Mysterio Family feud is just as dull and bad as the Rollins vs. Mysterio Family feud was. |
Guess Reigns is now WWE's version of Thanos going by that gold glove or gauntlet he's wearing on one of his hands and trying to erase Otis from existence with that vicious beatdown.
|
Otis & Kevin Owens vs. Jey Uso & Reigns was pretty good.
:lol: at Reigns beating up Uso after both of them had just finished beating up Owens with chairs. This week's episode felt average overall. Had a few good things but also a lot of boring and dull stuff as well. Everything outside of the opening segment, 6-man tag match, and main event was mostly bad. |
What a dumb Smackdown!
No added special effects No special theme No legend debut No World Title Change No cross promotion partnership STILL WILL KILL AEW IN THE RATINGS!!!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: |

ThunderDome's new home of Tropicana Field already off to a weak start since that opening contract segment had a bunch of echoing happening whenever Sasha and Adam Pearce spoke.
|
WWE really has an aversion with starting a show with actual wrestling since they somehow managed to cram 3 talkie segments within the first 15 minutes of tonight's show.
Didn't even need a lengthy Ziggy promo right after a Street Profits promo but WWE did it just so they wouldn't have any wrestling happen during the first 15 minutes. :| at Montez Ford vs. Ziggy match being randomly interrupted via Street Profits cups suddenly pouring into the ring from the sky. That might have been the oddest setup ever for a commercial break by WWE. |
:lol: at that Sami Zayn shirt by Big E and Apollo Crews.
Sort of hope WWE actually sells that shirt afterwards since its something I'd consider buying as a goofy shirt to own. |
:| 2 matches so far on tonight's show and both end via lame shenanigans although at least in the Sami vs. Big E match it sort of fit with Sami's weasel style heel character even if it did deflate a decent quality match.
|
Reigns and Owens segment's been the best thing on tonight's show so far.
|
Viewership for next week's show is going to be interesting since WWE just flashed a graphic revealing that its going to be on FS1.
Guess the PAC-12 decided on next Friday for their college football title game instead of Saturday. Also the women's tag match that went on during the same time was mostly a snore. |
Very interested in this Chad Gable and Otis tag team after that training montage and Gable now acting like Simon Dean back in the day with his Alpha training system.
|
:lol: at this new entrance theme for Carmella. Doesn't really mesh with her new character.
Everything about her new theme and entrance was more goofy than WWE likely expected. |
:| at Sasha getting DQed in her match against Carmella.
That SD Women's title match was pretty good until the dumb shenanigans dragged it down at the end. Also was arguably Carmella's best match since her title match against Charlotte a couple years ago. This week's episode was fine overall despite the first hour being mostly skippable and the main event ending in such a big dud. Everything from the Owens & Reigns stuff at the top of the hour till the end of the women's title match was enjoyable to watch. |

They managed to fix the echo issue during the show but the show audio was still a bit of a mess because of their abysmal handling of fake crowd audio with these ThunderDome shows. Reached its peak in worseness during the Women's title match.

:lol: WWE really is selling Zayn's joke shirt gag from Big E and Apollo. $28 for it feels a bit too pricey and a ripoff though. |
If they had a AEW like fanbase that shirt would be hot.

This might be the first time ever an opening WWE talkie segment got the two segment and commercial break treatment.
Also might be one of the longest opening segments in SD history. |
Going to assume WWE couldn't find a high profile or more notable actor to do the Slammys and Tag title predictions split-screen thingy since I had no clue who Clark Duke was until I looked him up.
|
:lol: at Street Profits having to cheat to keep their tag belts.
Sure it was payback for Roode trying to do the same right before but still found the whole thing funny and WWE's likely lazy way of setting up another match at TLC when they could have just not done this match today and saved it for TLC instead. Tag title match was pretty good though. :lol: at Charles Robinson snapping at Roode & Ziggy post-match. Guess refs now have the power to suspend wrestlers going by the tirade OUTTA NOWHERE by Robinson. |
Yikes at Liv Morgan almost getting a busted nose from that botched toss by Tamina.
Landed awkwardly face first onto the mat. |
:lol: at the timing botch for Carmella's entrance. Either someone was slow pushing the button or the big white screen in front of her got stuck for a moment before dropping down.
|
Otis feels a lot more sterile in the ring now that Vince wants him to wrestle as just a typical WWE style big man. Wanting him to wrestle safer for a man of his size is one thing but didn't need to also take away all of the energetic vibe he had in the ring.
Didn't even get to do his caterpillar taunt since Gable blocked it from happening. Show's almost over and right now the most entertaining thing that happened was Charles Robinson snapping and going off on a random tirade. |
:lol: at the Sami Awards show.
It was pretty dumb overall but also funny as well. Only real complaint was WWE ruining the big swerve or twist at the end by showing Big E rigging the last award before Sami's show happened. |
Belair vs. Bayley was pretty good.
The stuff afterwards with the beatdown of Owens by Reigns and Uso and another promo by Owens at the end was pretty much overkill since that was like the 5th segment between them tonight. This week's show was mostly average at best but probably the dullest since Reigns big return. As a regular show, it wasn't that bad but not that interesting either. As a go-home show for TLC, it was pretty boring. |
Once again no xrod to shove down how "great" everything is for a 2 week/1page thread.

I think he was in The Office for a bit near the end, and also in that one movie about that hot tub time machine
