Digital Jedi suffers through this poo poo so we don't have to and I salute them for it because I get to see what few seconds of the show are worth watching

That clip of Drew and Jeff is so sad I feel bad for them

i skipped through that stream clip as well, did brock successfully bully sami into putting up his title shot that night as well

Yes. Two non-combatants propped up the contender who did not indicate he was ready to compete after he was destroyed by a third non-combatant and that was a match for the title won via a battle royal.

The hilarious thing is, that first clip where Brock goads Sami into having the match tonight actually came off as pretty entertaining, and then it leads to him standing in the ring for 30 minutes to lose in less time than it takes to melt shredded cheese in the microwave.

I was an idiot and watched it, that's exactly what happened.

It's funny, Sami's whole gimmick is that he's convinced there's a conspiracy that's holding him down and it's clearly intended to be a shot at fans who believe that Sami's intentionally being misused. But you look at an episode closer like that and...good lord they really don't want to give Sami any opportunity to get over, do they? Like a Sami/Roman match would probably be really loving good! But nope, gotta sell another round of Brock/Roman, let's make you stand in a ring like an idiot and then make you bump with no benefit to you or your career.

Yeah, it's weird because it's like "Oh nice, Sami is on TV and, like, peripherally evolved in the main event angle but he's just an idiot loser." He gives it his all tbf

Is it all but confirmed that he and Owens are on their way out?

I love the updates myself. I love knowing what’s going on. My question is why? I’m concerned for digital Jedi the individual . We can probably piece together what happened on the Bullshit Raw or whatever, if we care, which we shouldn’t. The king may take joy from the jesters mummery, and the jester may seem fit in the station. But the just king consults the mummers mind , IMO. Maybe WWE marks feel different

I actually had the last 30 mins of Smackdown on tonight because I was killing time until Jeopardy come on. This is what happened. I noted when Sami came out because I knew the main event wasn't going 30 loving minutes and remembered Rey had to do that crap a few weeks ago. It's astounding to watch in real time. Although it was the most personality I've seen out of Lesnar in a long time. All 3 guys did a good job at what they were doing, it's just that what they were doing was stupid and pointless.

I like Jedi's posting and like the effort he puts in. But I also wonder why he does this thankless task. Once I asked a question about something in one of the Raw updates and he was like "i dunno, i don't even read these" which just raises more questions!

Maybe it's a cry for help like my Jeopardy twitter not a single person reads.

Posters like that are cool.

Just like how Edge & Christian will pop in with lists of matches when some random topic is mentioned like they're some kind of wrestling Alexa (not the goo puking kind).

I once considered doing that for 205 Live in 2017 since I still always put it on right after smackdown. I don't regret not doing it.

Yeah it did kinda get like that towards the end, Destination America era

But for a good while there would be a GDT every week and every week there would be replies "CaptainYesterday do you even watch this show" and they would not get an answer

Lesnar/Reigns is legit the worst feud of all time. It feels like it happens six months a year every year, storylines and characters are sacrificed every time it pops up, and the guy they want to look good is always, always chumped out by the enormous physically charismatic dude who the young roster gets fired to pay for.

It's the new Cena/Orton, and is retroactively making me think "by comparison Cena/Orton wasn't this bad".
