2021-07-02 Smackdown

 

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2021-07-03, I am checking out last nights Smackdown.  We are going into Money in the Bank.  I did see a spoiler that there is a big return on the show.  Plus, last man standing between Zayn and Owens, which they always have amazing matches!  So I think it is time to go listen to Pat McAfee and that putz Michael Cole. 

• How great is Paul Heyman?  They need to have him open the show every week
• Edge looks good!
• Edge is an excellent promo, and I feel like he believes what he is saying
• Uggg Jimmy Uso is ANNOYING!
• Jerry Lawler is there?  Oh, it is Shinsuke.
• Are they going to do the DDP I lost everything storyline from 1994?
• Barry Darsow better be in the truck, or I am going to be pissed!
• Crack in that mouth?  
• Bayley is perfect
• Excuses?  How about the truth!
• Look at Heyman, playing that moronic Uso without saying a word!
• LAST MAN STANDING!!
• What if Steve is a Sami fan?
• There was no give to that table!  Damn KO!
• These two will kill each other for our entertainment, and I worry about that sometimes.
• Why and how is KO getting back up after that?  Good grief
• I never want to see KO take that suplex on the apron again.  It is stupid stupid stupid!
• An excellent way to have KO keep going without getting to his feet after two Helluva kicks
• YOU DO NOT PULL A MAN BY HIS BEARD YOU SON OF A BITCH OWENS!
• Will we get two more Smackdown guys in the MitB?
• Zelina is back and the internet/Twitter HATES it
• Who would have thought that Liv would be the last of the Riott Squad with WWE?
• I miss Ruby
• The Liv Morgan and Nikki Cross storylines are too close in my opinion
• Seth is a good cult-like leader
• So Cesaro is going to get his victory over Seth to get into the MitB?
• A year ago Otis was one of the most over guys and now look at him.  WWE did him dirty!
• Same with the Street Profits
• Angry evil Otis I like but we needed a better reason.  Like Mandy turning on him last year during his run
• VADER BOMB!!!
• Can we get less Uso on our TV's, please
• This segment is going on too long!
• Okay nevermind we got this scene with Edge, so it was not too long

That show did not feel like 90 minutes.  It was really well-paced.  Edge was fantastic and I like evil Otis!  Could have done without the lengthy multiple Uso segments but overall a fun show!

2020-11-13 Smackdown

 

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-11-15, I am checkng out last Friday's WWE Smackdown.  I will admit I have not been keeping up the last few months on everything.  I know we are a week away from Survivor Series, my second favorite PPV of the year (although I miss the old format of all elimination matches).  I am not sure what is on the show other than I believe we get a Drew McIntyre vs. Jey Uso match.  I caught part of the first segment.  Enough talk...I think it is time to layeth the smacketh down!

• I like Roman's new delivery
• I still hate the Usos
• This is NOT fair for Sami.  Obviously, someone is out to get him!
• Why does Cole hate Sami?  Because he is willing to speak his mind?
• I like Sami but hate his current hair for some reason
• Dear lord that was stupid strength by Crews!
• I really hate the pumped in noise 
• What a brilliant win!  I could watch Sami sneak victories like this for years
• How and when would Sami come out there Cole?  Quit trying to attack the IC Champ!
• We know that Dominic is not your kid Rey, Eddie told us that years ago
• Uggg, Sasha Banks.....better go get my penicillin shot
• They were not haters, they were just going off the fact that you could not retain.  
• Could someone just shut Sasha up?  Please?  
• ONE MAN CLUBBERING!!!  I love Corey at times
• Am I the only one who has to say "The Greater Good" every time they say it like Hot Fuzz
• Not a bad match thus far but this is not main eventing?  That does not make sense, it is the blow off match
• This match would be more effective if we had not already seen Rey's eye taken out
• What is up with Rey's gear?
• Who did not see that coming?  Of course he turned on Seth
• The BOAT?  Good grief
• Too bad Green debuted and then got hurt right away
• Why have Green debut if she was not going to win
• Right there, that dropkick did it I think, injury to the wrist to cause surgery I believe
• I like that Liv is getting a chance after that failed rebranding
• I love me some Big E!  He is going to be a huge star
• They are so fired up they start off...with a headlock?
• Uso  with a superkick....shocker

I am writing this prior to the main event but so far this show has been.....well okay.  The opening segment was fine and while I like Roman this way I want to have more Paul talking and Roman only talking when he HAS to.  The Rollins crap is just crap.  I am tired of Rey Mysterio, when everyone is that size he is not special.  The best thing on the show was Sami Zayn and Big E from an entertainment stand point.  This did NOTHING to make me want to watch Survivor Series, maybe the main event will.  

Update:  The main event did not change my mind.  I do not get the push for Uso.  They are average in the ring in my opinion.  With such a huge roster pushing the Usos, who constantly have outside the ring issues, confuses me.
