I think Renee is getting fired soon. Has she filmed one of her one on one interviews for the Network? He interview time on the main shows have been cut in half if not just gone completely.
Sort of seems like she's being pushed out. |

I don't think so. I just think they don't know what to cut around 205 Live without cutting that fucking 205 Live itself.

I like how E and C just tell one another they're going to physically maim one another in very creative ways.
Edge likes to focus his attack on the nerve cluster in the neck. |

... Why the fuck would they get rid of talking smack? Were wrestlers and fans having too much fun? Fuck this company.

I've seriously probably watched more Talking Smack stuff than actual Smackdown since the brand split.

Need The Rock to step in and force a Talking Smack segment on air. You know, like when WWE tried to hide the cosplayers by forcing them to the hard camera side, and Rocky went down there to talk to them, so they got shown way mote prominently anyway.

The point was that they don't need Bryan to do the show, and that has never been their philosophy, so giving Bryan a reduced schedule just isn't true.

I still remember that Miz promo from talking smack. Saw the buzz here and looked it up and loved it so much. It was everything that has been missing from TV. Real passion and guys allowed to let loose and actually have a personality. Sad that they can't see the benefit of that

Usos promos sucked, but they were great unscripted on Talking Smack... So they added that to their character. Just everything about it feels dumb.

While I do get the frustrating that Talking Smack is gone, unscripted promos should be a thing that we get during SmackDown. The idea of the scripted promo itself is a wonky one, and we're kind of spitting the dummy about a little bit of string the company gave us for a while.
This is what I mean when I say that the WWE conditions us to tolerate crap. We're so used to mundane, scripted promos that our outrage is targeted at a show outside the bubble where that isn't the norm. |

I've stopped trying. I listen to The LAW recap it occasionally. People talking about wrestling has become more interesting than wrestling.

Yeah. If Bryan is in the arena and on Smackdown he's usually on the show. If he isn't, he's not. I highly doubt they cancelled the show so that Daniel Bryan could leave work an hour or so earlier to spend more time with his kid. lol

According to Sports Illustrated, main reason Talking Smack was dropped as a weekly show was due to Vince hating the direction of the show. Wasn't a money or viewership problem but Vince feeling the unscripted-like format of the show wasn't in WWE's best interest.

I think the show just needed a bit more "direction"...... Still have it mainly unscripted...... but as fun as it was, you should not have, for example, the dastardly heel Usos on the show being all jovial/friendly/face-like.
Was perfect for the women, who often don't get the chance to talk on the 2 hour Smackdown show. Other guys have also done great, while sticking to their characters. |

Hate to go the "out of touch Vince" route.... but that is the MAIN element that caused people to enjoy it!!!
I think, as some pointed out before this report, is that personalities were shining through a LOT more and it was becoming more entertaining than the actual show, which is true. |

Well that's ultimately what it comes down to, a 71 year old thinking he's still "in touch" with what people less than half his age want to see. This will only change when he finally decides to retire.
