[4/7] Smackdown Spoilers, Videos, and "Live" Discussion (SD+ME Links Added)

Why the fukk does Kalisto keep taking pins in these tag matches?

Especially to a team that's finna be Ascension status.

 

[TheGodling]

I like the Vaudevillains in the ring, Gotch especially, but they're definitely Ascension status on the main roster. Which is actually stupid because the main roster lacks serious tag team competition what with The New Day, Usos and the Dudleys being in rotation with each other for like six months now.

 

[Kung Lao Da Gawd]

The Dudleys stuff was dark match lol

They had a staredown and a hesitant handshake during it.

You can't play the Vaudevillains straight. There definitely needs to be mental and violent instability put into play here. If I was approached by these two in a dark alley I would automatically think there is something sinister going on. They have to play that up. I've always found anachronisms to be creepy and menacing and that's the only way I see these two guys working. Overall I liked the debut.

 

[Dylmatic]

Jerry Lawler killing it with his first line.

"You'd think he could at least smile a little bit"

The way he said "The New WWE World Heavyweight Champion" with disgust in his voice.

This is why the streets need the Ligginsverse

The condescending pat on the shoulder by Reigns. The seeds have been planted.

I always liked wrestlers who had actual gimmicks and play the gimmicks pretty well. Vaudevillains are a prime example of that and I hope they do well. I hope the fact that they debuted on Smackdown isn't a sign of things to come.

I know people will mention New Day as a counterexample since they technically "debuted" on Smackdown but all of them were already on the main roster.

jerrry heel again? and they wasting him on smackdown?

that's what I said

 

[Osmosis]

Zayn/Owens is progressing nicely, wanna see them hold it off till Summerslam but knowing WWE they're probably gonna have a match at the next PPV and then several times on RAW

WWE actually has a lot going for them right now but you couldn't tell by way the internet is reacting

 

[Silkk]

Bored at work, checked out the AJ/Reigns promo.

The character change for Reigns is cool, im just indifferent on dude tho.

Reminds me of War Machine in ROH

 

[Box Cutta]

Black chick right in the middle of the screen with a sign : Free Titus - Day 56/60

 

[Box Cutta]

Vaudevillains ain't gonna last long...

I'd be shocked if that Black & White intro was still a thing within a month.

Aiden English gear even botched at the end of the match.

They mighta been cool to those hipster/yuppie NXT crowds but I can't see the main roster crowds feeling them.
