I liked a small bit John said on Talking Smack where he said he didn't go for the title on Raw because he knew the Authority would gently caress with him. A nice little piece of storytelling. Hell his whole promo is pretty great.

what? he got drafted to SD, he didn't have a choice about which title he wanted to compete for, right

He basically said that with the Authority controlling the RAW title picture he knew he would likely wouldn't get an opporutnity at that championship again, but being on SmackDown doesn't just give an opportunity to up-and-comers, but also him.

I hope Bray goes all in on his new Escape the Room entrepreneur gimmick.

"You have to find the numbers that correspond to three combination locks, Randy. Only then can you find the clue that helps you open the safe. If you need a hint, press the call button. BUT BEWARE, RANDY! It will dock your final score!"

Bray Wyatt should restart the Crystal Maze. I have cooled so much on Wyatt since his rapadoo but this has got me excited for him again. It would have been stupid but knew to keep going till it hit that sweet spot of carny. Please WWE - dont just squish the dude again. Let him win a feud. Randy is old and can take the hit. Bray needs teeth and not just empty rhetoric. This is a step in the right direction.

Miz was amazing. I am officially a Miz fan again for the first time since Miz and Morrisson. There hasn't been a retirement stip in ages.... c'mon WWE pull the trigger and let Ziggler go do stand up or something else. Miz would be so great with bragging about himself as being so awesome he kills careers.

John Cena, Ambrose and Styles were great again. Its been said a million times but Cena really is amazing and will be missed when he retires to Hollywood. I was so deflated after RAW and almost skipped Smackdown. Too much Steph's roster castration and the cruiserweights just make me sad as I know, one day soon, I will go to watch a cruiser 4 way or tag team and the speakers will scream "BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN!" I hope after the cruisers die or become a Superstars exclusive they send the Brian Kendrick to smackdown along with Cesaro. I like the other guys but I was always a Kendrick fan and enjoy his new Christian style "One More Match" gimmick. But yeah.... Smackdown saves the day and leaves me happy yet again. Thanks Smackdown.

I think Nash and especially Hall would be good as some type of backstage role. I know in the Legends talk with JBL they both said they'd be interested but WWE has never asked them to work behind the scenes.

They'd need to be kept from the program itself though, don't forget Nash did backstage stuff at WCW and TNA. Maybe he's matured, or maybe he's played the long game. The main difference of course would be Vince, because I don't think Nash could just run a show without Vince going "SUP NASH HEARD YOU BEEN DOING poo poo!"

I caught the kiddo sneaking out of bed last night to get a drink of water, and she begged me to make sure I didn't delete Smackdown Live so she could see AJ beat the crap out of Ambrose.

"What about RAW sweetie? Do you want me to keep it on the DVR so you can catch up?"

"Nah. I can find the Bayley stuff on Youtube. Besides, you need to make room for the new season of Liv and Maddie."

Girl has her priorities right.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

New Day really rocks the merchandising. This is cool.

He's really good with the kids and has been since he first became a dad. His stuff on swerved whenever he's dealing with a young fan is always amazing.

He's probably third behind Cena and Miz on that count, but those two are just so astoundingly good at it.

I know the cruiserweights are new so this question isn't an attempt to agree with the "RAW is ruining the cruiserweights" argument that has popped up after two weeks, but why don't they take Main Event/Superstar (I don't remember which belongs to RAW) and make it the cruiserweight show? Foreign markets?

This, along with the fan that was super sad she didn't get to see Becky, is what wrestling is all about. :)

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
There's something I find amusing about how much everyone (including myself) likes Smackdown. The non wrestling segments on Raw were all really bad, and made the show very tedious to watch. Smackdown had 3 loving matches, and the whole show was all good and enjoyable to watch, with the exception of the Bray bit, which I liked, but other people don't seem to be sold on it.

Yeah maybe it's just Reddit but the overwhelming "New Day is bad, please take the titles off of them because they're bad and hell, they might have always been bad probably" sentiment is kind of funny to me considering they were THE ONLY REASON TO WATCH RAW/M for months. Then again I guess this poo poo probably happens all the time???/
