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!

2020-11-13 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.
