Smackdown Live 1/3 - Intercontinental Championship, Contract Signing

[@smarkmouth]

Plus, Wyatt Championship loss fallout. Continued antics of La Luchadora, perhaps?

 

[@smarkmouth]

I almost tuned into Raw for Bryan vs Sami. Did I miss anything good?

In a word, no. Pile of shit as usual. Stephanie said SD beat them last week and she was embarrassed. So she gave us Owens vs Rollins and Jericho vs Reigns. Sami got the living crap beat out of him by Strowman, and Titus wants to be a part of New Day. Yea that's about it.

Best part of the show was Kevin Owens got his own show the Kevin Owens Show and there was a guy with a board over his face as the sign.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

The Miz opening the show is a great sign for a good show.

*sigh* All that talent, with creative just not up to snuff.

 

[Navi]

Oh and guess who's facing Charlotte at the Rumble. Clue she's a "hugger".

I have a hard time even calling them "creative".

Well, better than another Sasha match. Not that I'm knocking what they do together, just it's repeat cycle.

 

[Navi]

Ohhhh Miz is in rare form tonight.

So far so good! SmackDown's best heel, maybe second in WWE to Charlotte.

Should be pretty good really if they just let them go at it.

I am actually intriguing to see how Miz is going to retain this time. Short opening segment and I dug it. Nothing impressive but a nice way to build up the title match.

Exactly. It wasn't over sensationalised. That would be insincere. Just straight forward booking on Tuesday nights.

 

[@smarkmouth]

Corbin needs something fresh, but without rushing him into the title scene. Needs a feud with Kane.

What I like is that Bryan and Shane McMahon only show up when really needed. Whereas on RAW segments are set up around Foley and Stephanie, like they are more important than the actual wrestlers at times.

And just where is Kane, don't see him much anymore.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

Where is everyone? Are we the only ones who watch SmackDown? Anyway, I'm not big on a Corbin/Ziggler feud again, but SD creative has already won me over and I can trust them to make it fresh.

Ziggler beating Corbin clean here would be the best decision for both men.

This is exactly why I tuned out. I'm heavily reminded of the nWo. Cool at first, but becomes the same old shit and you can't differentiate one week from another.

And just where is Kane, don't see him much anymore.

I like him as a part timer. No need to overexpose him at this stage of his career.

More should join in at some point. SD beat RAW last week but most don't come into the live chat.

 

[Navi]

I love Corbin's shirt, didn't see it for sale at SS.

 

[Navi]

No Ziggler don't start crying. OMG he's gonna start crying.

I love that he wears shirts now.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

This has been a really solid match. Ziggler has been on a role since the brand split.

 

[Snugglebites]

What actually is Dolph's gimmick/character?

 

[Navi]

That was a great match.
