Boy did anybody predict two months ago that SmackDown's tag team division would become the best thing about the show?

If they fix AA, get New Day in and get DIY after Takeover Chicago, that could be some really great stuff.

I don't know if Vince was rewriting promos for SmackDown since the brand split, but if not, that explains why things seem different.

Bray should try to join the drifter, and the drifter should reject him.

Plus I can imagine some of the fans just booing that Jinder became a main eventer purely for a generic 'evil foreigner' gimmick. The heat could have come from so many directions, and was legitimate enough, that you can't call it genius.

Plus the fact that the fans in the building can be wrong. To harp on the Bayley thing more, the crowd popped huge when she won the title, but she still should have only won the title at Wrestlemania and it was a drat waste to do it on RAW.

It was still a great TV moment and any crowd is gonna pop for the babyface winning the championship.

I mean, you're right, but you can never really blame a crowd cheering a championship change.

I wonder where we'd be at right now if Jinder defied Vince and went with the original promo. I guess it's a moot point since Jinder doesn't necessarily have much pull to do such a thing no matter how much in love Vince is with his physique.

That's my point, but I kind of put it wrong. The audience can enjoy or hate a thing, but that doesn't necessarily mean you did a good job.

I mean he would've just been a standard delusional heel who had no place winning that match rather than a delusional heel who had no place winning that match but also had an extremely tired gimmick that in this day and age, really only somebody as charismatic as Rusev and Lana can make work.

well the original promo he preferred was apparently the most boring standard heel whatever promo ever, so maybe his instincts wouldn't be great in any case.

I assume cooler heads will prevail because Hojo's elbow drop is the best looking one around.
