Ok I watched SD! last week but I must've missed something, when the hell did Naomi become the #1 contender to the SD! Women's title?

She got the pin on Bliss in the Royal Rumble Pre-show match (Becky/Nikki/Naomi vs. Alexa/Mickie/Natalya) and was awarded the #1 contender spot as a result.

Talking Smack I believe.

Ignore that it was Talking Smack. Naomi pinned Bliss again on SD Live and then D-Bry gave her the #1 contender spot on Talking Smack.

 

[ShinChan]

Alexa Bliss will lose the title to Mickie James?

Should it be so?

 

[klunderbunker]

Probably and probably.

Do you have a review of this show?

[klunderbunker]

I haven't.

 

[@smarkmouth]

Here's a tough one (presumably); when did the term 'smark' come to be? Was it popularized by any individual, or just something that gradually eased it's way into the ICW lexicon?

 

[klunderbunker]

Gradually. It's been around for a good while though.

With Taker's current health issues, what are the chances Reigns's heel turn comes from him just beating Taker so viciously that it occurs out of sympathy? Say Taker just won't go down for the three count and it just turns ugly. It would fit perfectly with the story of Reigns "retiring" Taker. I feel like they wouldn't want to do that to Taker's legacy, but if his hip is as bad as it seems, he might not be able to put on much of a match.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd buy it but the fans are going to boo Reigns almost no matter what.

Reigns over Strowman at Fastlane, Taker at Mania and Lesnar for the belt at SummerSlam (seeing as Goldberg beats KO at Fastlane to win the title and drops it to Brock at Mania)? That's the way we're going it seems. I feel like they've done a really good job with Strowman lately. Such a shame he's going to be fed to Reigns as the first part of the Roman beats monsters and big men tour on his way to the belt.

Thoughts on this being the way everything seems to be heading towards?

 

[klunderbunker]

If they do that, they have balls bigger than Randy Marsh's in the KFC episode.

Summerslam is in Brooklyn. I'll just let that sink in for a minute.

I agree, but him beating Taker to a point where even his fans start booing him is how I meant. Sort of like a double turn, but without Taker turning from heel to face. I guess a definitive moment would have a bigger impact, but I was just postulating if Taker can't move well enough to have a good match.

Why is everyone ruling out Taker costing Reigns his match with Strowman? He has a half-assed gripe, albeit late, about being tossed out of the RR.

And if they turn Reigns heel like they should, it would work perfectly. I might be holding on to false hopes, but if they don't turn Reigns heel at, or at least the night after, WM I'll be done thinking they even give a crap about anyone anymore.

He could, but I'm not sure WWE is smart enough to pull that off.

Indeed, though again I don't know if WWE is that bright.

Given that I too believe that is the direction they are going... as long as they finally pull the trigger on a Roman Reigns heel turn, I don't see much issue with it at all.


Btw, whilst for years, UT has been given the babyface treatment by fans, generally he has always been more of a 'Dark Knight' not opposed to doing heelish stuff to get his way if required. Is it possible that Roman Reigns could take such a role going forward whilst they build someone else to be the White Meat Babyface Superman type going forward?

 

[klunderbunker]

Nah. For most people it's face or heel. Undertaker has special rules.

 

[justinsayne]

Do fans even want a White Meat Babyface Superman type right now?

Do fans even have any idea what they want with any of the superstars?

This.

Why does Goldberg continue to do such strange looking facial expressions when facing off with someone. Almost like an old guy who feels for his teeth that are no longer present..

 

[klunderbunker]

Goldberg is....odd. Then again he can pretty much do what he wants so it's hard to argue.

Hey, KB, I hope you are well. Haven't popped in here for two years, so I hope it's not a question you've fielded already. Now, on to the question...

As you know, when Rey Misterio Jr unmasked in WCW, he couldn't redon the mask, because of Lucha Libre traditions and that's how he inhereted his uncle's name and dropped the "Jr".

As I was watching LU S1, there was a guy called Superfly. In one episode he was the loser in a mask vs mask match and thus unmasked. I decided to read up on him and apparently he lost his mask a while before elsewhere.

So, how did Superfly manage to put on his previous mask after he already lost it?

Thanks

Do you see the WWE's bubble popping or stabilizing with all the different shows/brands/network endeavors they're attempting to maintain?

It depends on the country. You can lose a mask in Mexico but wear it in the US. America doesn't really care.

I think they'll be fine. WWE can adjust as necessary and with no real competition, they're so ingrained at this point that it's almost impossible to get rid of them.
