Holy poo poo they were on loving fire tonight. If they keep it up, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they end up organically turning face again somewhere down the road.

And then slowly losing everything that made them interesting as heels and adopting some line that gets a pop one time as a shite catchphrase and we all decide the Usos were always bad?

Ha, didn't even realize that was you, someone else retweeted it on my feed. Nice find. When I first saw the tweet, before I listened to it, I thought maybe it was a minor flub that they left in for realism sake since announcers do screw up sometimes. Cracked me up when I listened to it and it was a full on "ok, redo, ready and go" thing.

AJ on Talking Smack was hilarious. I loved him trying to make Daniel Bryan mad by saying Miz's kicks hurt and DB accusing him of being a flat earther and AJ just rolling with it.

SmackDown was good, but that screwy ending made me mad at wrasslin'. I still can't wait to watch next week's show, which is still really weird to say about a WWE show.

Well CM Punk's rear end is now the 2nd dumbest thing I've seen on WWE's youtube. This might be worse than the twitter post. I like how they'd be in a 100x better spot if they just did literally nothing. It's like when you want to cover up a lie so you just keep talking and talking instead of just doing a shoulder shrug and moving on.

Alexa Bliss was literally the best part about Smackdown last night and is one of the top 5 most entertaining members of that roster. She might be my favorite female wrestler even including Charlotte, Sasha, Bayley, Asuka, etc. She's so awesome.

The Usos promo was so drat good. With the latest tweak to their characters and, apparently, working without a script they sound unlike any other team and it rules. Really hoping they can keep it up.

She got incredible heat from the crowd. I mean, I get it, she's great, but why was the crowd so hot yesterday? Does Ontario not get events often?

I mean the segment was basically designed to get that kind of heat with Naomi giving up the title right before it. The crowd would have been hot everywhere outside of Corpus Christie.

Because the show is booked wonderfully.

There's a lot of crowds that could be hot if Raw gave them any reason to care. Raw has no understanding of an audience. Raw has an extra hour of show and yet I would still guarantee if that promo last night was on Raw, Alexa would've interrupted it 5 minutes sooner and nobody would've given a poo poo because nothing about Naomi's part would've been allowed to resonate.

It also helps when you have an authority figure who isn't a legit narcissist worried only about how she comes off in the segment.

I haven't been watching Smackdown as much because I've been busier on Tuesdays this semester, and last night was the first time in a while I'd been able to watch. Made me realize that Raw should definitely be 2 hours. The battle royale ended and I felt like I wished there was more to watch, which is how a TV show should make you feel. After watching 3 hours of Raw I'm like "well, that was Raw I guess I'll come back next week because I have nothing better to do on Mondays."

This is my favorite thing that is a "thing". It also seems to have made my mind exaggerate how often they're there. Like, every other week some show or another is in Corpus and every time I'm like "why?". It's just such an random non-major city to have this reputation of 'bad wrestling crowds'; do they have any competition in this regard?

Kansas City I recall being pretty tepid. People say Pittsburgh crowds are bad too but I don't remember anything specific.

The Miz loving rules and is a heel who loves and supports his wife unconditionally instead of browbeating or belittling her like most other heels. Very happy he's getting a marquee match at Wrestlemania after how great he's been since the brand split.

SD Live is very well booked and finds a way to advance sub-storylines even in a busy battle royal. All 2 hours are used effectively and it's fun to watch.

Did they only discover that Naomi was hurt enough to give up her title earlier on Tuesday? Because if they knew they were going to do a "Women's Champion is asked to give up her title" segment on Smackdown, why would they have done pretty much the same segment with Bayley the day before?
