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!

2021-01-15 Smackdown

 

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2021-01-16, I am checking out yesterdays Smackdown.  We are building towards the Royal Rumble.  Will Adam Pearce sign the contract to wrestler Reigns?  What will happen with Shinsuke?  I do not know so I think we should go find out!

• How great has Reigns become?  He should have been a heel years ago
• Uggg, Jey is going to talk.  He has go away heat with me and always has
•  Good grief turn down the fake noise!
• Good grief does Jey have fake gold teeth?
• Seriously can someone just knock this guy out!
• His bottom lip sticks out now because of those stupid fake teeth
• Are they called a grill?
• Oh my god I do not know if I can do this show with that take noise
• I might be because it is Uso but I am digging Nakamura tonight
• CESARO IS HERE!!
• Cole with a legit question but asked like an ass
• Did they ever explain what the King of Strong Style means?
• Of course Uso sat right back up, no one sells anything!
• I think Uso has been doing a little too much eating while not at the head of the table.  A bit of a gut
• Good night Uso!
• Heyman mentioning Scrap Daddy, interesting only 10% or so of the audience gets that reference
• Wait, Crews is going to join the Table but would not join the Hurt Business?
• The doorbell for the new Bayley's new talk show is annoying as hell
• Billie with the Riot Squad...I like it!
• I do not like that spot while in the lock-up but that wheelbarrow into a hotshot is awesome!
• Liv has come along so much over the last few years
• Stomps while on the first rope I like it!
• That was a three count with that small package!!
• That was not Billies fault, she was being chased by a monster!
• Corbin has come a long way from his days with that stringy gross hair
• Hell one of the most improved each year I think
• I love Corey trying to get Dominic to get involved!
• Was that a DEEP SIX one nine?  Get it?  
• Enough with the damn fake crowd noise
• Who is better than Heyman?  Spoiler, the answer is NO ONE!
• Corbin has done almost everything that is why he is the KING!
• This is going to be awful
• Yes, trainwreck
• An obstacle course?  Really?  This has Brother Brucies hands all over it
• I love Otis and D-Bry's new haircut!
• This match should be amazing!
• Well you do not have to eliminate all 29 Corey
• Both of these guys are amazing
• uggg, I hate that run into the opposite corner to run at the guy.  If you are running into it and it does not hurt why would it when you are thrown into it?
• That was a horrible bump by Cesaro!  I do not know what happened there
• A punt to the arm, that is unique
• Is one of the guys bleeding?
• Love that series of moves stopping the rope break into the Yes Lock
• Spinning Superplex!
• God, I hate Sasha!
• Damn I love Paul Heyman!
• I love both Big E and Sami!
• FOOL I DIDN'T MAKE THE MATCH!  -Big E
• CREWS CHEATED!!!!
• I love Heyman "You're not making for good television"!
• Roman Reigns makes such an unlikable heel it is perfect
• Wow...a bad mic on a WWE show, that is unique
• Uggg, Kevin Owns again?  Really?

I really liked this show!  It moved fast, storylines were well done and nothing really stupid....well besides Ding Dong Hello.  However, there is one thing that I do not get.  If it is a last man standing match for the title why would Pearce not keep the match and have Owens with him and PEARCE win the title!  That is what I would do especially if I was Pearce and waiting a lifetime for that chance!

2020-07-31 Smackdown

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you found todays entry.  Today, 2020-08-05, I am checking out the latest, to date, Smackdown.  I know we have an appearance from The Fiend, an IC title match and more so enough typing, I think it is time for fighting!

• I LOVE BRAY WYATT!
• I miss good ring announcers
• Does anyone think that AJ is going to lose here?
• I am not sure I like the piped-in crowd noise
• Have we seen a ref bump with a female ref?
• If not do we need one occasionally just to give the illusion it could happen
• Seriously this crowd noise does not make sense
• Nice move by Gran with the sweep of the legs
• Is it odd that Styles is a flat earther?  I find it weird
• I like that Styles has a few finishers
• A really good match; so good I forgot to write comments!
• I really hate that belt!
• Corbin has really improved over the years, especially after he cut his hair
• This barroom brawl should be at Tim Whites bar!
• Celebrating in his own personal way?  Is that with a drink or three Cole?
• Seriously Corbin is great on the mic!
• I love me some Gulak!
• Cole, you mean when Gulak Pearl Harbored the King!
• Is that the Lebell Lock?
• What is this guy doing here?  Riddle has not reason to be out there!
• What is with everyone attacking the King from behind?  HE IS THE KING!
• Wait?  Chad Gable?  There could be a knighthood in this for him!
• His name is Chad Cole!
• I cannot wait for Big E's single run.  I think he should be fighting for the title at Mania next year
• Wait....Miz has only held 19 titles?  I honestly thought it would be higher
• I kind of hope that they leave the plex up if they ever have fans in the area again
• Is there a worse look then a man bun?  Not that I know of
• As much as I hate the moves on the apron the splash by Big E is great
• I hate it when guys run to the corner and hit it before running and hitting their opponent in the opposite corner.  Why does it hurt if your opponent does it but not when you do it yourself.  It is the little things guys
• When was the last time someone submitted to the Figure Four?  
• How strong do you have to be to do that?  Big E for Champion!
• So Lacey is back to being a heel?  She is going to end up with as many turns as Big Show
• Feel the Glow feels like an STD you can get
• Uggg, what was that?  Something she should NOT be doing for sure.  Sorry, Naomi, I don't think either you or Lacey are experienced enough for that
• Did Mandy Rose have some work done?
• I cannot wait till Sonya moves on to another feud.  She has MONEY written on her I think
• I love heel Bayley...and hate anything Sasha
• If I see Sasha tweet to Mr. McMahon one more time I might vomit.  
• Nikki is so different than anyone else in WWE
• Sasha has X-Pac heat with me, just go away!
• Really liked that closing sequence!
• Another person just turned on Alexa!  It is just sad the way people turn on the Goddess
• OH DEAR GOD NO!  THIS IS YOUR FAULT BRAUN!
• WHERE ARE YOU STROWMAN!

I do not know how this was received but I really loved this show almost top to bottom!  AJ is great!  Corbin is Great!  The Fiend segment with Bliss has SO many ways it could go.  Hardy looks better than he has in a long time.  Big E is going to be a breakout star I think.  I know people are down on WWE right now but man that was a good show and did not feel like 90 mintues!

2019-10-04 Smackdown Review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whenever it is you have found this review.  Today I am looking at the debut edition for Smackdown on Fox!  I am not going to bore you with a huge intro lets get to it!

• Interesting set, not sure I like or hate it, it will take a few weeks
• Of course, the McMahons open the show
• I love that Vince always sounds like he has been gargling razor blades anymore
• Why Michael Cole?  I feel bad for Tom Phillips 
• Now the Raw Women's champion....on the debut of Smackdown....yeah that makes sense
• KING CORBIN....also not on the blue brand
• HE IS HERE!  ITS HIM!  THE GREAT ONE!  ROCKY!!!!
• I hated him for some long and now I miss him so much.  Sometimes you do not know what you have till you no longer have it
• I love King Corbins look, my first time seeing it
• The dumb fans cannot chant together
• I love this!  
• Four Horsewomen in action next, a good way to start the night
• Every time I see Sasha I feel like I need a penicillin shot
• I feel like we have seen these ladies too much together
• Just nothing special about this sadly because we have seen it
• Erin Andrews has no clue who these guys are
• I started off hating the Firefly Funhouse but now I love it!
• There was a time people cared about Shinsuke right?  
• I love the Fiend and Wyatt both!
• They are throwing everything at the wall here for the first Smackdown on Fox 
• For no real training, Shane has always been good
• I hope Owens loses and comes back as Mr. Canada or the Midnight Rider
• AS GOD IS MY WITNESS SHANE IS BROKEN IN HALF!
• Seriously why would he do that!
• Seriously why is Shane on his feet after that?  That should have been the end of Shane on WWE TV for months
• Paul Heyman is the Hitchcock of WWE directing horror movies that is star Brock Lesnar!
• Why should I care about Braun Strowman?  
• And what is Braun wearing?
• How great is Otis?  So entertaining
• Who is Tyson Fury?  Should I care?
• I like Rowen and it is nice to see him finally get a chance
• I love the chaos of lumberjack matches!
• Needed a bigger brawl for me
• Well I guess that ends the Kofi experiment
• What the hell?  Rey Mysterio really?
• I guess I do not know my MMA well enough to know who Cain Velasquez is

That was a very good show.  I am not sure I like Kofi losing in 10 or so seconds but lets see where it goes before I hate on it.  This was, hopefully, chapter one, of this story.  Also interesting to see Cain Velasquez enter the fray as it were.  Where this goes will be interesting.

I hated to see Randy Orton, Miz and AJ Styles put into a pointless 8 man tag.  Should have been Strowman vs. Cesaro or someone to get to the Fury and Strowman staredown.

Overall nothing horrible but there was the bad 8 man, not because of the people, but because of the use of those people.  Also seeing people like the Viking Experience no-sold during the Lumberjack Match sucked.  Little things that WWE will say no one noticed does get noticed.  

Very good first show on Fox but like I said about AEW it is not about one show but 10 and 20 and 50 to keep me, and the fans, happy.
