Smackdown LD for us Non-Preempted People on 1/22

[klunderbunker]

There's a great one in Germany which isn't ROH but sicne they drink beer like water over there he rips them apart. There's an AWESOME feud he had with Raven where Raven and Dreamer tied him in thr ropes and forced beer down his throat.

 

[Ambiguous Turd]

Nope. As in it's almost the 100th most posted in LD of all time. Of the top 100, about 90% are Raw.s

That's going to be changing to Impact real soon.

 

[Thriller Ant]

Wow, this may be the best saving segment yet

 

[klunderbunker]

We were raving about it earlier.

 

[klunderbunker]

Not sure about that Sid, since the Tyson Raw beat last night's Impact by I think 100 posts.

And how did this week's Raw compare?

I think that Tyson Raw was terrible, and turned a lot of LD'ers away this week.

 

[Thriller Ant]

Besides Punk giving off a rapist vibe, that was an awesome segment

 

[Thriller Ant]

I hoping for some kind of swerve or else this is gonna be bad

 

[Thriller Ant]

This should be really good

 

[klunderbunker]

This week both shows were down I think. Scratch that. Impact was up. Makes it 1-1.

 

[klunderbunker]

Punk was so awesome in that. Girl wasn't bad either.

 

[Ambiguous Turd]

Smackdown seems to be doing better than Raw with their segments.

The Punk segment was really good as was the Diva segment. The Diva segment ran a little long at one point before Maria came out, however definitely some effort put into it.

Raw, there seems to be little effort placed into anything on the show.

 

[klunderbunker]

Tonight has a lot more stuff padded out. Raw is just going with the motions. TNA just flies through everything so fast it's hard to tell if it was actually good or not.

But again, that is what makes a show exciting ... when it is fast-paced. We seem to be in agreement that Raw is garbage, though, and no effort gets placed into that show. That basically is the same show ran every week with a new Guest Host ... that still is stuck with the same format as the week's prior Guest Host.

 

[Thriller Ant]

Jericho is awesome

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep, which isn't good.

The thing about Impact: exciting does not mean quality. Smackdown was quality. The thing is with TNA, and this is what I've been warning everyone about since day one of Hogan: eventually you have to give them some meat to chew on as twists and turns are only going to get you so far. At the end of the day, the in ring work has to be there.

 

[Thriller Ant]

That was cool

 

[klunderbunker]

What was it?

 

[Ambiguous Turd]

Jericho is awesome

Jericho is over-rated which is what he is.

What made him so "awesome" tonight?

I thought that was the Miz's line?

 

[Thriller Ant]

What was it?

McIntyre jumping off Morrison to prevent the tag

Him going over and doing commentary. Jericho is the number 2 heel in the company as far as heat goes right now

 

[klunderbunker]

Jericho is overrated in the main event and he needs to go back to being a face, badly.

So many people have done that it's not even funny.

Agreed. But you need a mixture of both ring work and compelling characters/angles/storylines.

TNA owns WWE in the Main Event category. Their Mid card however is a mix. It caters to both older fans and newer fans ... however the show itself caters to adults, which is why it owns WWE.

I never said it was original, just that I liked it.
