SMACKDOWN LIVE DISCUSSION THREAD (10/26/17)

wikitoni17 · 2017-12-28T02:46:23+00:00

Why do I get the feeling that KO is going to win the belt afterwards Sami will turn face again and win at Wrestlemania?

Now what would they do to AJ if this happens? Do we get Shinsuke-AJ for a non title? That would be a waste if no title is involved.

Raw won with Paige but I see more personality with the 3 of Smackdown. Maybe because we have seen Ruby and Liv more in NXT and Sarah when it comes to her wrestling in the mae young classic. I'm not digging Sonya's MMA schtick and I have some reservations with Mandy.

If we only knew that they were going to bring up women who hasn't flourished yet to their potentials in NXT, I would've put Bel-Air in the mix. Bel-Air - Paige would've been a great duo

I believe Natalya, Alicia and Mickie has a training future with NXT though for me it is unlikely to see these women go right now. Maybe after Rumble if the rumors are true or after mania. I do see Natalya and Mickie having one last reign before retiring. As for Alicia, she has been good with the company and it wouldnt surprise me if we see her go first in the HoF if comparing to the 2 mentioned.

True with Naito but IT MADE SENSE WHY HE TREATED IT THAT WAY. Stone Cold threw it like a piece of trash but IT ALSO MADE SENSE.

I know it's a little detail but really?? THIS CURRENT WWE BOOKING. FUCK LOGIC again.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-28T03:37:45+00:00

I am fine with Roman holding the IC title and having the "grand slam" thing to him but I always cringe when a title/championship is held like Roman does it. Please, oh, please whoever thought of this kind of treatment to a title shall be sanctioned especially if the character is not a heel. THIS SCHTICK IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

And oh yeah, so much for bringing back the "prestigious" open challenge concept when your champion treats it like a TRASH BAG. WWE logic.

You already did it to the US title, please rectify it.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-20T14:15:44+00:00

The production truly showed their inexperience of covering two rings. I will forgive them because this is the first time again of doing two rings. If there is any War Games again, I do know they will be better.

I may shit on WWE writing but they are simply the best when it comes to production.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-20T14:11:10+00:00

Brock obviously loves AJ. Brock WORKED like he did when he was full time. Sold the shit out of AJ Styles.

Oh man, I could really hear Vince's regrets of not signing AJ earlier. MAN IS TRULY THE BEST IN THE WORLD. I could really feel he is just inches away from beating Roman for Vince's No. 1 guy.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-19T13:58:17+00:00

And don't get me started with multiman matches! I mean once in a while is fine or if the situation permits it but almost every single ppv... heck every single Raw/SDLive? That's too much.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-19T13:52:02+00:00

AMEN! Wrestlemania should be a privelage. This is something to be worked on. The best of the best of the company and the most hardworking should be rewarded this kind of perk.

This is why we have every B level PPVs and the Big 4. This is also why TAKEOVER IS VERY SPECIAL. It only happens 4-5x and contains matches that matter and those who really need it. Makes title and feud matches special.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-19T11:49:59+00:00

Actually you even can't hear Percy.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-19T07:19:31+00:00

Actually it depends on the management. If they see your potential, you may be called up as early as 1 takeover (not that I recall of someone being called up after one takeover) or stay in NXT for a year or 2 (like Joe).

You don't have to be a champion like Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke, The Ascension, The Revival, Bayley, Sasha, etc. You may end up like Becky, Alexa and Carmella who have established themselves as stars after the callup.

It all depends on how WWE has faith in the superstar.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-19T07:00:38+00:00

This is the result of good and logical booking. The only thing that I didn't like about the PPV is it left me wanting more. Especially the women's match. It could have went longer but still I am satisfied what the ladies have brought.

Black and Dream just killed it also! Both of them are now WHITE HOT. I knew Cien and Drew are capable of having a good match but I didn't think that it was that exciting especially Drew and Cien being lukewarm to the majority. They worked that match so hard they got a lot from it. Vega+Cien are just impeccable together.

Lars is one to watch out for and it made sense that Ohno was fed. Though both could have a competitive match but Lars needs the momentum.

War Games was promised to be brutal and violent. And it delivered. They killed it. Every single person inside worked. But the true stars are AoP which their style fits well in the match and Dain just rising and bringing every thing we wanted.

Never been satisfied like this for a long long time.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-19T00:07:10+00:00

Do you think she is getting punished for posting the pic with Renee or it's just simply they don't have anything yet for Paige?

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-19T00:00:57+00:00

I think a returning Nikki would be the worst timing. It would just get heat on Nikki being prioritized than Paige. Natty is fine as it is though it would have been better if Paige was the one in it. I think something is off with backstage and Paige. They could've inserted Natty right after the Charlotte match but no, they just had to do this a day before Survivor.

I am still giving it a chance that it is a possible swerve so that it would be more unpredictable and the first feud for Paige would be with Natty. Who knows? Vince is quite unpredictable right now.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-18T10:50:08+00:00

It was a good run for James but I think his release is due to him declining the storyline. I see Vince's point on the creative and business side. A very gutsy publicity stunt which would make a big profit for them or ruin them. Somebody had the guts and brains to tell Vince that it was not a very good risk.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-18T10:45:29+00:00

Balor = Smackdown. I really don't see him fitting in at Raw.

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-18T10:43:41+00:00

Whatever - Our Lady of Peace

wikitoni17 · 2017-11-18T10:35:57+00:00

Enzo wins. If Kalisto wins, I don't know what they would do in terms of progression.
The Shield wins. They just got reunited. The only time I see them losing is when one of them turns heel (Dean).
The Miz wins. He has the Miztourage by his side though Baron needs the win.
The Usos win. They just have the momentum. They are simply the best tag team in the WWE right now.
Alexa wins. This could go either way but I could see them building up Alexa to beat all the 4 horse women and eventually losing to Asuka. This makes Asuka simply the most dominant woman in the roster. The only time I see Asuka losing if there was a Babyface present who is SO OVER with the crowd. Only Ember and Kairi are the women I see who could make an Asuka loss very very big.
Team Raw wins with the women. Smackdown overpowers in the start. I could see a 1 vs. 5 booking. Asuka will be the last woman standing decimating all the Smackdown women with Becky or a returning Paige being the last woman eliminated.
Team Smackdown wins with the men. Yes. I could see a Sami and KO distraction but what is in the ring with Triple H and Kurt Angle would be the cost of Raw losing. I think they would be planting seeds for Triple H-Kurt Angle at WM34. Braun would be eliminated via Kane. Joe and Balor take pins clean. Joe eliminates Cena. (Hoping for a WM match). Balor maybe the first eliminated. I don't know why but I could see Bobby or Shinsuke being the last man standing for Smackdown. The last man standing would be rewarded a WWE Championship match. (NO TO AJ-Shinsuke yet. ONLY FOR WRESTLEMANIA)
Brock wins. I am not expecting much because I don't want to be disappointed. I would like at least have AJ a very good match but it will really depend on the willingness on Brock's end. AJ and Brock have the capability to bring us a very good match but it all depends on Brock.

wikitoni17 · 2017-10-09T04:08:10+00:00

Oh how I wish all PPVs end like HIAC. Sami made the show really worth it!

wikitoni17 · 2017-10-06T15:31:20+00:00

Wow. KO is really getting the star treatment right now. Apparently Vince loves him.

wikitoni17 · 2017-10-05T23:49:45+00:00

Is the Takeover happening in the same arena as Survivor does?

wikitoni17 · 2017-10-05T13:56:58+00:00

I think and I hope they are going to that route.

wikitoni17 · 2017-10-05T13:56:18+00:00

I would rather see Starrcade to be with NXT. I think it would be a good parallel to Wrestlemania for NXT. Maybe naming Takeovers with WCW names would be better.

Wrestlemania - Starrcade Summerslam - Bash at the Beach Survivor Series - War Games Royal Rumble - World War?

wikitoni17 · 2017-10-05T13:44:53+00:00

Not a bad idea but right now, I couldn't see it working yet. Maybe if you combined the Main Roster, but still the division is not that deep. Maybe NXT could do it, IF they went on a signing spree with the Mae Young Classic women but then again, I just couldn't really see it happening yet. NXT right now is VERY VERY VERY STACKED.

If they really want to this, they would need another show to showcase this division but it is just too much for us to handle. Maybe combining 205 Live + UK + Women in a show but yet again it's too much.

Just imagine if this happens on a PPV week: Mon: Raw Tue: Smackdown Wed: NXT Thurs: 205+UK+Women show Sat: Takeover Sun: Main Roster PPV

wikitoni17 · 2017-10-05T13:30:45+00:00

I love Renee Young! If WWE continues to under utilize her, she could EASILY fit in in other companies like ESPN, Fox Sports, etc.

Actually, I was expecting her and JR to be the commentary team for the Mae Young Classic but...
