Matt_Black Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I missed approximately the first hour of Smackdown, tuning in just in time for the... ugh... Ronda Rousey segment. However, thanks to social media, I did get to see the highlights of the Bloodline segment. And MY GOD, seeing Jey and Roman finally lose it was GLORIOUS. And while some might think "Oh, no, they broke kayfabe", I think this adds a needed bit of depth and emotion. When the turn finally comes, it will be all the more heartwrenching a betrayal.

Jaysin Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 WWE is letting this happen. Hopefully we get a Muta HoF or Rumble entry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he drops it to his logical successor, The Great Cody Rhodes. Only if Cody cuts an emotional promo about his dad that in no way cheapens the previous emotional promos about his dad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I'm playing catch up and watching Crown Jewel and man, the video packages hyping the matches are so well done these days. I try to watch both Raw and Smackdown every week, but my time is limited so I fast forward some segments and these videos really get me into the match. I could also watch/listen to Bray read the phone book. He's so captivating when he speaks. I love that he acknowledged his Dad and uncle too. I loved Barry Windham and Rotundo was always a good hand. I hope him bringing up his family leads to Bo Dallas returning. I know that's unlikely, but I miss Bo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say since HHH took over Raw has flown better but it's still too much, not because of the content in the actual show but the obnoxious amount of commercials that cut the matches in half or in thirds. SmackDown flows perfectly for me, no complaints at all. If HHH could make an hour of Raw focused on cruiserweights or something specific akin to the WarZone I think that would be the best usage of the extra hour as a non-casual viewer, though I doubt it'd translate well in ratings for casuals who are the audience the WWE still caters to the most (even with HHH doing a pretty good job of throwing us bones nowadays).

Maybe on the next TV deal that can be rectified, but it's doubtful. Unless they decide to take less money from the network, but they don't seem to be in the business of that.

Jaysin Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Raw was much better than usual this week. The new Austin Theory is wonderful and a much better character for him. He and Dolph tore it down despite the non-finish. Dom is really growing into his heel persona as well. Looks like Tozawa might be getting better treatment going forward. At least I hope so. He's too talented to be a comedy character. I hope JBL starts building a stable. Maybe repackage Mace and Mansoor as the tag team part of his stable? More stables please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kayfabe Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 So Scrypts is Reggie? Meh It will be cool to see him pushed as a more serious wrestler, but I'm not a fan of the gimmick. That outfit is horrendous - looks like a terrible knock-off of Ciclope or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 WWE has been doing quite a bit right lately, but man, I could not care less about their women's division on either Raw or Smackdown.

Jaysin Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I cheered outloud and smiled like an idiot when Jey and Sami hugged. Such a great main event on a very middle of the road show. Sami might be the MVP of WWE this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like they could be good holding the tag belts while rousey hold the world belt. Then she can be double booked on a show and lose it to have an excuse. Becky coming back will add some interest in the raw division. The damage ctrl stuff has been terrible. Bailey is a great heel but Kai and Sky have no microphone skills I’ve seen. Plus since returning Bailey has been a perennial loser. The booking of both divisions have adequate at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
