Smackdown 10/25 - (Untitled)

[@smarkmouth]

Don't forget Vince is still at the helm, there's your problem right there, stuck in a rut.

See, I'm all aboard the anti Vince train, but I'm wondering what it took to pry his hands off of SmackDown. I still have a hard time believing such a control freak let go of something like that.

B/C everything other than story and character development is whats important to Raw.

I hear you, but it's obvious something has happened because the two shows couldn't be more different.

Nikki Bella's entrance is the best thing in WWE.

You say that every week.

Any reason why Orton did an RKO to Kane? I expected Kane to chokeslam Orton instead given the story being told. Intriguing stuff as always from SD LIVE.

Orton just said, "Can't beat them. Join them."

Orton cut a promo shortly ago. All he said "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."

There's a lot more to it than that.

 

[rbv13]

Already reminds me of Bryan joining them.

Do you mean all his cronies surrounding him as well, that Kevin Dunn person and the rest?

Bingo. I expect it to end similarly, but I look forward to the ride.

LOL JBL "what's that in Nattie's mouth.....oh it's her foot"

Most reports/rumors indicate Vince is just as involved w/SDLive as he id w/Raw.

You wouldn't really know it, I enjoy watching this show more than the other.

 

[rbv13]

For sure. SDLive is actually fun.

Somewhat but not exactly. There are also the following issues (not a comprehensive list):

An extra hour (that's a HUGE issue that causes a multitude of other problems)
Trying to cram in way too much stuff
Stephanie having to get her spot
Commentary (Cole doesn't deserve the hate he gets but they have to promote stuff while Smackdown commentary can focus)
The World Champion being treated like a midcarder
HHH vs. Rollins looming over everything

I could go on, but Raw is swimming with a bunch of anchors.

Unfortunately everything you say is true, and I don't see it changing anytime soon. One day SD will take over in the ratings and they will have to admit there are big problems on RAW. Until then though things will stay the same.

I get Nikki taking it, but it's a shame to keep Nattie off of the Survivor Series team for the match in Toronto.

Was thinking the same thing. Might be a recurring story for the next couple of weeks. I'm sure she'll be on the team though.

I hope so. Unless they have her face Becky and inverse the face/heel roles for a night. I do love when they do that, when done right.

 

[rbv13]

I could see this working out for the better for Natalya. The crazy cat lady being a complete bitch now might be best for her. Maybe cost SDLive the Survivor match. Gain some nice heat.

Maryse rocking the Wednesday Addams cosplay.

Consider Heath Slater. He's a goof who has been around over six years and hasn't done jack in most of that time. He catches fire in something stupid with I'VE GOT KIDS and now he's a solid midcarder. You never know what might catch on and get you somewhere in wrestling.

I heard a pretty interesting tidbit about Mikey. Apparently the guy has been doing quite well working the wrestling video game projects. He gets a ton of work doing the movements in the digital suits. He has been the man for WWE 2K.
