Maybe there's a good joke about Trump's wall versus the Cell? IDK, are there any Mexicans on the roster? *me, hanging in the writers room for the next month*

dordreff posted:I like that the best-of-seven ended in a draw because the two guys were too hurt to continue, which was expertly shown by one man having to be dragged out fighting four officials while the other one stood in the middle of the ring, calling for the match to continue. I think it could have worked, but the ending was borked by Cesaro's dumb dive. If you aren't going to stop the match for that, then it looks silly to stop it for a clothesline over the barricade.

OldTennisCourt posted:Is this the first time that Smackdown is hands down the better show than RAW? I'm honestly shocked by just how much better SD is, it's a combo of the shorter time frame and the fact that it seems like everything just flows so much smoother. Nah. I'm certain that PSP agreed Smackdown was better than RAW +5 years ago because Cena was being pushed too much on RAW while Smackdown was a place to see Edge and Undertaker, a more enjoyable heel GM in Vicki, and so forth. Edit- almost any time they've let RAW become too overloaded with McMahon drama and excessively slow builds Smackdown feels way better. Double Edit- I'm pretty sure MattVP was a smackdown tag team and that was roughly at the same time everyone loved Smackdown a lot Fidel Cuckstro fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Sep 27, 2016 |

Vaguido posted:You'd think they would be able to learn from their past to make an effective female authority heel people hate for the right reasons, but then again Triple H is staying off TV while the ratings are poo poo like Hulk Hogan used to do, and that never worked out, so I guess the fact that no one seems to remember anything that happened a year ago isn't a Kayfabe thing. Umm, Excuse Me

I think you have a problem when the loudest pop in the PPV match between Rusev and Roman is Lana pulling the ref out during a count.

Weird thought maybe- but I was thinking about how heels get over and modern fan reactions. The WWE main roster has had this problem for a while- their heels are either so over that fans don't really boo them, or they're just dead ends. Sometimes this gets laid on the booking, other times on the fans being too smart or not playing their part in the program. I was thinking though- NXT has been pretty successful in keeping their heels as heels it seems, right? The fans there know Samoa Joe and they know he's a great wrestler- but they play him as a bad guy and the fans boo him. They let Kevin Owens get some funny quips in, but they also played him right against Sami Zayn and the fans reacted appropriately. Has there been a recent situation where NXT hasn't been able to get a heel over as a heel? What's their secret?

I am an Oney LArkin fan. I don't even know if that's how his name is spelled.

Soothing Vapors posted:Smackdown has the opposite problem to Raw though, you have 3 strong faces and then on the heel side the dropoff after AJ is hilarious. If only they had a source of ready, talented wrestlers to pull from, to help fill their ranks.

Daniel Bryan starts off last night's Talking Smack with 'Shane and I have a very different philosophy than Steph and Mick, we don't need to be on screen all the time." Is RAW being written really lovely a story itself?? edit- Cena is very good on this as well. Way better format for the modern 15 minute promo.

I think Talking Smack does 2 good things just by existing: -It takes the some of the long promos off the main show, so the audience is getting more matches -It takes a lot of risk and uncertainty of doing a 20 minute live promo (audience reactions, backstage chaos, planning for commercials) in front of a live audience away, putting it in a more controlled environment Granted they still do too many overly long 20 minute promos, but if that can't be helped...

When you watch a match with the Miz, you're watching a championship caliber match.

Indie darling and recent WWE acquisition John Doesington Jr.: Ok I think for this meaningless RAW mid-shoe match I should jump head-first out of the ring and on to you, and you and I should collapse in a heap on the concrete. Miz: No, that seems dumb, and a good way for us to be ground to dust in this monstrous capitalist system. John: But it's the only way I know to get daddy to love me. Miz: I will not support this .
