SmackDown LD - 20/09/2016 - The Cenation enters the Ambrose Asylum

[L@RISANO]

This. Slater/Rhyno were hot but we got the pay off. The WWE wants AA over but right now the Usos are freaking money

Pretty much. I actually am surprised Heath & Rhyno have lasted this long as TAG Champs. I honestly expected them to get a Zack Ryder IC title- like reign and drop the belts the night after Backlash to a hot heel Uso team.

 

[Navi]

I'm not sure if that segment was supposed to be as funny as it was.

I thought it was hilarious myself.

 

[The Holy One]

They really haven't given the non-NXT fans a reason to care about AA other than "Trust us, they're awesome."

Well what was the reason for why people cared for them in NXT?

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

You have an amazing talent for stating the obvious.

Well...

Gee not much of a reaction at all for the Uso's.

Being this asshole still doesn't pay taxes. Lucky you.

 

[Sean Valjean]

Seeing Swagger appear on Smackdown was like watching Lex Luger walk into Nitro








*holds back uncontrollable laughter*

 

[Dmbfantomas]

Apollo Crews and Swagger team would be fun.

 

[Dmbfantomas]

WHY IS SWAGGER ON COMMENTARY?!

 

[L@RISANO]

Smackdown wrestlers show so much passion. Everyone on SD actually. Miz, Ziggler, Ambrose, Cena, Styles, the tag teams.
I can feel the emotion when watching Smackdown. RAW feels cheesy.

Shane & D-Bry do get segments on SD, but it never feels as though they are trying to get themselves over. Rather, they highlight the superstars on the show and add that with the storytelling and character-building that is happening, it is no surprise SmackDown is much more enjoyable from top to bottom at this point.

It's clear now that Swagger came here only to put over Corbin. Who by they way, has 75% win/loss record in 2016.

 

[Sean Valjean]

Are Corbin and Crews having a Best of 7 Series that I wasn't aware of?

Plus, I think Benjamin and Crews were gonna form a tag team. Now Crews might be stuck in limbo, until Benjamin comes.

 

[Dmbfantomas]

Corbin's hair is so atrociously top notch.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

Are Corbin and Crews having a Best of 7 Series that I wasn't aware of?

There's a story behind this match. Last week's Talking Smack, Bryan made a case that Corbin should beat Crews instead of attacking him from behind and if he can do it he doesn't need excuses.

 

[Dmbfantomas]

Title matches like the IC title should main event the show, even over Cena/Ambrose.

 

[Deoxyribonucleic A.C.I.D.]

Prediction: Ziggler wins via DQ or count-out.

I won't be mad though, because smart me knows that a big match is coming at No Mercy.

 

[L@RISANO]

Usos come off so naturally as heels. They remind me the classic stereotype foreigner/Mexican/Black bad guy that all series display. I never thought they were so charismatic.

This heel run of theirs is exactly why I want to see Roman Reigns as a heel. I think he would excel. The Rock is beyond their level without doubt but even he was a douche who was well-loved. It seems to run in their blood.

 

[Deoxyribonucleic A.C.I.D.]

Title matches like the IC title should main event the show, even over Cena/Ambrose.

That being said, I think Sasha vs Charlotte vs Bayley, should main event Clash of Champions. Just to see the result this might have. A small test.

 

[L@RISANO]

Title matches like the IC title should main event the show, even over Cena/Ambrose.

Don't agree.
Cena/Ambrose are top contenders for the top title, thus they are higher up on the card than those in the midcard IC title picture and thus should main event the show.

This heel run of theirs is exactly why I want to see Roman Reigns as a heel. I think he would excel. The Rock is beyond their level without doubt but even he was a douche who was well-loved. It seems to run in their blood.

Roman is a douche even as a face. Such smart ass, cocky, smirky, over-confident. Imagine what he would do as a heel.

 

[Sean Valjean]

Well what was the reason for why people cared for them in NXT?

We saw how they came to be. How they went from a reluctant pairing that worked surprisingly well to forming a friendship and becoming an unstoppable force. NXT fans got to see them evolve and thus had reason to care about them.

On the main roster we're just told that we should like AA because they're great. Obviously they can't just redo their entire origin again, but some more vignettes with them would help given Gable's Angle-esque goofy charm is complimented by Jordan's cool guy straight man routine.

 

[Deoxyribonucleic A.C.I.D.]

Started Mr. Robot yesterday. Caught up to it today. Such an awesome show.

 

[Dmbfantomas]

Can Kane kill Curt Hawkins please?

 

[Dmbfantomas]

That being said, I think Sasha vs Charlotte vs Bayley, should main event Clash of Champions. Just to see the result this might have. A small test.

You need to build the prestige of the Universal title after Finn ruined it by dying. This is not the time for the women.

 

[Sean Valjean]

There's a story behind this match. Last week's Talking Smack, Bryan made a case that Corbin should beat Crews instead of attacking him from behind and if he can do it he doesn't need excuses.

I meant that it's like the 3rd match they've had in 2 weeks.

 

[Dmbfantomas]

Nikki still can't talk. AND IT GETS FOLLOWED UP WITH DOLPH?! BARF!
