Smackdown is an indy fed :lolbron:

Can't wait to see the excuse for the 1.9's and 1.7's after the luster wears off these IWC darling champions.

Outside of the Kane bullshyt which was kept to a minimum I loved this show.

The women's match was very good. Everyone got a chance to shine. I would have liked to see Naomi but Becky is a great choice, she's the best on the brand. Alexa is coming along nicely and that outfit :whew: Alexa Quinn :noah:

Naomi :ohlawd: and some of the moves she pulled out tonight :salute:

The Miz and Dolph match was just tremendous in that old school style that I discussed in my thread. This feud is continuing :whoo: and like the direction. It's meta as fukk with how Miz worked a 'safe' style and the crowd was glued to every second of it :russ:

The tag title stuff was decent. Usos are a quality heel team bruh, I like their new vicious/submission style offense. Chief Heath and Rhyno are entertaining.

What can I say about the best wrestler in the world. :wow: :wow: AJ fukkin Styles. Well deserved. CoDean was good tonight too. Great match.

what up to the face that runs the place :styles: :styles:

:comeon:

No one is saying A.J. is being shoved down their throats because he has wrestled all over the world for the last 20 years.

Reigns is nothing more than a carefully manufactured NXT robot.

He ignores the fact that Reigns JUST started wrestling 5 years ago. Balor and Styles had been wrestling for at least 15 years before they came to the WWE and won major titles.

Crazy that no one says he or Balor is "shoved down their throats" when Reigns had to wait 5 years.

What? There were a lot of threads on Balor's super push, none of them positive. There are also some pretty key differences between AJ and Balor


Balor was given the keys to the kingdom from day one and has all of one impressive NXT match in nearly 2 years, and it had nothing to do with him besides him being the one to accidentally bust Joe open. AJ was destined to be Cesaro-tier until he turned shyt into gold, and he's consistently been the MVP of every show he's been on all year. He was also proven to be a draw and merch mover even with poor booking. Balor wasn't even particularly a stand out in NJPW, and his shtick got old before he even came to American. Meanwhile, AJ has been on of the top guys in the world for over a decade, and THE top guy in the world over the past 3 years. There's no comparison between the two.

As for complaints about Roman, if they had just waited to bring back Bryan until after WM, that whole backlash (:youngsabo:) would have never happened. Male fans were just as excited for Roman's big push as the female fans were to get his spear...until Bryan came back. Although that CM Punk podcast sure didn't help, even though the point of his "make Roman look strong" story wasn't even about Roman. Wrestling fans are stupid. :yeshrug:

TLDR:

Balor's push is what people think Roman's push was, AJ came in with no hype and blasted out of the mid card because it couldn't contain him
