[09/26] SmackDown: Let's Rate This Show At Least a B+

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

I commented under a post on FB blaming the botch on Nia Jax, pointing out it was actually Tiffany's fault for being late on her cue and called her Botox Barbie reign mid and a "Tiffany Stratton" liked my comment.

reading a lot on twitter about the Nia/Jade steel steps spot was unsafe and Nia was in the wrong

There's no doubt that when Jade was the TBS champ she made that belt feel like the #1 women's title. It's legit embarrassing how poorly HHH & the WWE have handled Jade. I think more people are going to start voicing their displeasure with their booking, you even got Orton's gold digger wife sending shots at creative.

I knew he was too p*ssy to book Cody/Orton vs Bron/Bronson 1v1 but a part of me was foolish enough to think he might just make the tag match happen at least

what a shyt show another win for no watch gang


the way they've ruined smackdown since bloodline story ended and they moved to USA

His logic makes sense, but it’s not going to fly on a more grander scale with eyes watching especially considering they insist on trying to be treated as a “legitimate sport”

Had that happened on ESPN, people would have had a fit and pointing to why it shouldn’t be on there in the first place.

Not my problem. I just posted the video because someone mentioned him speaking on it earlier in the thread.

Trips got to be absolutely Brain dead to not see money in Jevon in the future

What pisses me off is they wait until talent are like mid 30s to do shyt with them. The only one recently was Baby Steiner. you gotta strike now, hes young and can handle the physical toll on his body.

nah. Sometimes he hits that shyt clean and it looks great.

The one he did his AEWCW debut was perfect.

It would be stupid to use Bianca in that way, especially since her WrestleMania streak is broken (another dumb decision) and Rhea's not even as hot as she used to be. I'm seeing now that they're investing in the next generation of women. With the exception of Becky and Charlotte/Alexa, all the women's champions are from the new school. Rhea/Bianca would pretty much mark the end of an era, and it's insane that they might not even have a one-on-one before one of them gets pregnant or leaves the company or retires.

You know what would be even worse? If Bianca comes back and gets fed to Tiffany. That shyt would piss me off way more than if she lost to Rhea. At least Rhea is a legitimate star and she's on Bianca's level. Tiffany doesn't deserve a win like that.

I legit think they plan on having Tiffany beat Bianca to further establish her as a real champ. That's why even though I'm pissed that Bianca was injured because of a bullshyt match that didn't need to happen, it also kept them from further fukking up her booking.

Nia was definitely in the wrong, and you can tell by the way she was handling Jade's head when she threw her into the steps. This is another match that shouldn't have happened.

It retarded how long they make people hold the title for these lame ass stats, Stone Cold would hold that shyt for like 2 months. If Stratton is really that over let her drop it to create a new star/champ in Jade and have her beef with a new rival to chase to Jade.

Both shows are so fukkin sterilized and boring now cause they treat these wrestlers like investments now.

It's like when mediocre players get into the HOF because they played for 15yrs. I think the longest title reign both Stone Cold and Rock had was 6-7 months and that a rarity, which makes these current runs look even worse.

It's a double edge sword. There is something great about seeing long term champions. Roman's reign was awesome. But, we also missed out on some possible classic moments/pops by him winning in spots. That Sammi match the crowd would have been apocalyptic. Gunther re-writing the IC title history book with his reign. But, then you have shyt like Tiffy's reign where she's defended the belt less than 10 times and isn't really a good champ. Or Jake Paul having the US belt for 200+ days but only defending it a handful of times. All these long reigns are also hurting so many talents that are super hot in moment but after a couple of missed moments the crowd doesn't care. If LA Knight ever wins the belt he will never get the pop he could've got had they flipped the belt when it needed to happen.

Triple H is all about these long reigns. But, even his favorites like Naitch, and Harley are x time world champions cause the belt moved. It's really just guys like Bruno and Backlund that didn't flip the belt when it needed to happen. And while I'm old, I'm not old enough to know what would've happened if you flipped the belt on Bruno.

But, I am old enough to remember how cool them title changes were in the attitude era.

Track record doesn't mean much here when it comes to Nia. "Big Drawls" and all that.
