[1-2-18] OFFICIAL SMACKDOWN THREAD - Is Today Rusev Day?

[John Reena]

WWE is too oversaturated nowadays

• Royal Rumble
• Womens first Rumble
• Mixed Tag Tournament
• US title tournament
• NXT in Philly

its like they dont want us to have lives

NXT Takeovers be so clutch on them Saturday nights before WWE ppv’s

They need to give up on Corbin. This dude gets opportunity after opportunity but Mike Awesome had to smash fat chicks and be a 70s guy?

I'm going to need Trips and them to have a talk with the girls down in Full Sail about these finishers. Sarah Logan should not have come up to main using that lame shyt.

They gotta stop booking like the only people that matter are the champ and whoever the champ is feuding with. I wouldn't be opposed to them having women's tag belts just because it would force them to run multiple angles and utilize more of the roster in a meaningful way.

Plus, a lot of the women would be money in tag teams. The Iconic Duo in NXT is proof.

It's something they'll have to consider as the women's roster continues to expand (30 girls in Full Sail atm).

Baron Corbin wants to main event Wrestlemania brehs

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

So is Rumble going to be AJ/Shane vs KO/Zayn with DB as ref?

 

[FromStLouis]

Graves is much better on Smackdown, him and Booker can be unintentionally funny sometimes but he's more defined on Smackdown

 

[reigun]

Doesn’t help that they are running the same angle on both shows with basically the same characters. I'm hoping the women's Rumble will acknowledge and shed light on that like maybe both groups are actually one big group and/or someone is pulling the strings.

I know we all hate Stephanie, but it would be dope if Absolution and the Riot Squad were her way of trying to control both divisions.

I've always thought they should utilize Stephanie more as a villain for the women since they can actually hit her. Of course, she'd still be booked like stronger than anyone. So it's probably moot.

I did not know that level of recklessness still existed in 2018. Your cousin gonna end up like old boy on Iyanla with 37 kids if he don't change his ways.

You're right... but he's fukked me over many times n the past so good luck with his future endeavors

Wrestle Kingdom 12 commercial got me hype

 

[CapitalOne]

 

[Da_Eggman]

They shouldn't even have done all that setup. Just have Charlotte and Naomi go out then wait before hitting Becky's music.

Becky was going to get a pop regardless. That promo was unnecessary.

The snow is about killing time not about making a good show
