[Sasori]

Why, Sami, why?

[Sasori]

Meltzer said that WWE is planning to push Usos vs New Day as one of the greatest Tag Team feuds of all time so a Network special is in development.

[Sasori]

You know how Heyman is always talking about Lesnar delivering prison beatings? Well, that's pretty much what the Usos did on Sunday.

not hard when there's only 2 tag teams on the roster

[Bill Casey]

You know if they do SmackDown teams vs. RAW teams at Survivor Series, The Shield and The New Day both have three man teams...

[mr sabu]

ok this has gone on long enough

[Bagel]

Bill, if Jinder ever drops the title are you still keeping the Maharajah banner?

Maybe...

[Bill Casey]

The pronounced lack of Luke Harper and Erick Rowan makes me sad...

[Bill Casey]

Right team won though...
Glad to see the Minnesota Wrestling Crew stepping up...

[mr sabu]

fuck this snoop dogg add off

[Bagel]

Really miss Harper & Rowan. When's the last time either was even on TV?

July 4th Battle Royal...

[Bill Casey]

Vince: "So, what's your wrestling name going to be?"





"Uuuuuhhhhh ummmmmm uhhhhhhhhhh"





“Uuuuuummmm uhhhhhhhh”







"Uuuuuuhhhhh... Ummmmmmm"

[Sasori]

Yes, let's rekindle the rivalry between Becky and Carmella that was really hot months ago and they dropped for no reason

Oh, and Phantom Points for Bill

[Bill Casey]

[Sasori]

"BECKY! BECKY! BECKY!"
"LET'S GO BECKY!!!"

Hear that Vince? That's you squandering the potential of yet another fan favorite.

Nah, they're doing the right thing given the field...
Putting the belt on Natalya so they can run Natalya vs. Naomi, Natalya vs. Charlotte and Natalya vs. Becky...
It just means Becky has to wait a bit...

IMO, their plan should be eventually for heel Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch at mania...

[Gampo]

Brock needs to join the Minnesota Wrestling Crew.. and the stable should be managed by Heyman.

I want them to give all the women equal attention, but they had something with the Becky vs Carmella/Ellsworth feud and it all fizzled out. I guess I'm still a little salty because they gave up on Becky so quickly last year. If we do get Charlotte vs. Becky at 'Mania, I'll be quite pleased, but I could see them going with another multi-woman match.

[rom7878]

It's hard to hate Sami lol

[Bill Casey]

Oh, Samiwise...
You're my best friend...

[rom7878]

You can see that was genious

[Bill Casey]

GOOD GAWD SHANE'S GONNA JUMP

[rom7878]

Are they really letting nakamura drop down a tier now lol vince is crazy and stupid get the title off the jobber

[Bert]

Great promo by Sami. I hope this heel turn gets him somewhere.

Nattie is boring. That idea is boring. You bore me, boy.

[Bill Casey]

[Bill Casey]

Nattie is boring. That idea is boring. You bore me, boy.

The heel field is weak, so a face champion would be fighting Lana, Tamina and Carmella on PPVs...
The face field is strong (Naomi, Becky, Charlotte) and Nattie is the strongest heel champ to challenge them...
So right now, it's the right move...

If Charlotte turns when this run ends, it opens up Charlotte vs. Naomi and Charlotte vs. Becky, which is only two feuds, but enough to carry them through mania, when trades and acquisitions will occur...

[rom7878]

Haha Harper and Rowan are now Vikings?

[Bagel]

The Bludgeon Brothers? Three months off TV for that? I'll have to see more.

Much better than every post you’ve ever made, so there’s that.

Bill has the most interesting possibility there.

Ok. Fine..First Charlotte beats Nattie clean at Survivor Series, the rest of the girls compete in a SS match. Carmela goes to cash in on Charlotte the next Smackdown then Becky stops her. Becky keeps stopping her until Carmela puts her MITB contract only to reveal she has to beat Ellsworth. While this is going on Charlotte continues beating Nattie. Tamina beats Naomi to be the number one contender. Tamina beats Charlotte at RR only for Becky to cash it in. Becky defends against Tamina. The rest of the women compete in an Elimination Chamber to go to Mania. Charlotte wins. Charlotte/Becky is a Rock/Austin where Becky wins. The next night we get the Mae Young Invasion.

[rom7878]

No jinder tonight lol

[rom7878]

Haha boron carbon lol

I stepped out for a bit. Please tell me this is a joke. This is something they'd do for the Fashion Files.

I love what you do

[Sasori]

AJ's been taking some nasty bumps lately. I worry sometimes...

[lotjx]

​Smackdown was awful.

[rom7878]

Is AJ really hurt?

[Sasori]

Corbin is the Captain on a boat sailing down the River of Tears. English needs to sing a song about this.

Just so we're clear, half of your eight months is Natalya in title matches...

SummerSlam - Natalya vs. Naomi
Hell in a Cell - Natalya vs. Charlotte
Survivor Series - Natalya vs. Charlotte
Clash of Champions - Natalya vs. Charlotte

[rom7878]

Lol they are embarrassed to show jinder tonight lol

She loses at SS and then the December PPV. That is two out of my eight. Why would I be saddled with shit that happened at SummerSlam. Doesn't matter your boys shat all over everything. Enjoy your win.

[Bill Casey]

TIME TO SWITCH TO THE NETWORK

[Bill Casey]

Lol they are embarrassed to show jinder tonight lol

I bet he's in the dark main event...

[Bagel]

Lol they are embarrassed to show jinder tonight lol

Haven't you heard? He's a special attraction champion like Brock.

[BGMaverick]

Bludgeon Brothers.

[Bill Casey]

Why would I be saddled with shit that happened at SummerSlam.

Because you were against Natalya being champion...
That's when her title reign started, and that's what I was defending...

Summerslam to Wrestlemania is 7-8 months...
I thought maybe you'd provide an alternative path, but it seems you have about as much Nattie as I do...

[Bill Casey]

Bludgeon Brothers.

2 B

Jacob and Eli Bludgeon...

[Bill Casey]

I miss this move so much...

[Murphy]

So, anything worth my time from Smackdown this week? Sami Zayn?

[Chris Scott]

Great promo by Sami. I hope this heel turn gets him somewhere.

Loved it. Really looking forward to Owens/Zayn.

[TheWrestler]

The KO/Sami segment was good, but........

Don't get me wrong- super excited Sami is now getting this featured storyline, which finally gives him something to do, and perhaps could lead to bigger things...

But, I don't know, did he really need a heel turn to get any attention from creative- the guy was honestly a true face the crowd had no problem getting behind, singing to the music, and cheer the guy on, plus he can be quite exciting to watch. All they had to do was PUSH HIM and let him actually succeed against top guys. Hell, some of the best singles matches in WWE in the last 2-3 years involved him (Sami vs. Nakamura in NXT, Sami vs. KO (when Sami won, on what was supposed to be the final match of their feud -but of course they've dimed him out to KO like a jobber a few times since, for various pushes KO got, and Sami was getting nothing to do). Shit, Sami would have been a great choice to be the one to overcome and topple Jinder- why the hell not, since they put the belt on Jinder to begin with-its not like the belt is beneath Sami..

[BGMaverick]

Didn't have any real problems with Zayn's story last night.

The back and forth between Roode and Ziggler was extremely awkward.

[Badger]

A bigger face push for Zayn could've worked, but no problems with this at all and a good promo. Looking forward to see where they go with it.

[Donald]

Did Sami have new heel music?

[Sasori]

Nope, same ol' boppy theme. And he came out doing his same babyface entrance.

[mth]

Zayn's promo was great. Solid reasoning for his heel turn. Him and KO as a heel duo could be really good stuff.

I try to be optimistic and all but man, that Bludgeon Brothers vignette was brutal. Very much reminded me of The Ascension's turning into a joke on the main roster. Corny AF. Will have to see how this goes...

[Gampo]

I feel like they missed big on both Bray's current program and Harper and Rowans.. they should have just reunited them all as the Wyatt Family and added in an actual female wrestler as sister Abigail that takes over as the leader/manager. I would have loved to eventually see all of Sanity vs. The Wyatts with sister Abigail.
