Smackdown LIVE: 8/2/16: It's still real to me!

[J-Dogg]

Good show with nonsense end, that really hurts bray more so now.

 

[enviousdominous]

Um, so yeah. I'm going to be extra cynical toward the WWE for the next couple of weeks.
Good night everybody.

 

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Fine show but I'm still not buying Ziggler as a World Championship contender at the second biggest show of the year.

 

[L@RISANO]

Dolph did some heelish stuff to win against a heel cleanly... then... pfft. This is all too confusing.

 

[J-Dogg]

I'm not gonna be cynical just skeptical towards certain things

 

[TheKingOfKings]

So ref is against exposed turnbuckle but then he's like fuck it, I'll let it slip? bullshit eh
May Smackdown never be as good as Raw, atleast this year prob

 

[L@RISANO]

Can't wait for the review, KB.

 

[BaconBits]

Smackdown's important matches for SS are Cena/Styles and Orton/Lesnar. Not their title. Let that sink in for a while.

Review is up.

Double The Problem And It Might Go Away

People seem happy to justify it as SmackDown giving Dean an easy title defence given SummerSlam is already a stacked card. Nevermind the saying, "Starting off with a bang!"

 

[Navi]

How long till Harper is back?

Hopefully soon, what brand is he going to though is the question?

 

[Navi]

Best part of tonights show was American Alpha in my opinion. They were fantastic and given the right booking can see them moving quickly up the card. Somehow I feel they would be seen more on RAW, but SD might be the best place for them to get their feet wet.

I think it's pretty obvious it's gonna be OG Wyatts on Snackdown.

None of it is going to help Smackdown's ratings, which is the only reason brand split 2.0 had even happened.

 

[ztwhite]

Just watching now, but did anyone else notice Daniel Bryan say Apollo Creed off the top of the show?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

How in the FUCKING WORLD was that finish not a dq on Ziggler?!!

 

[klunderbunker]

Because the storyline didn't call for it.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

THE REF WAS STARING DIRECTLY AT THEM WHEN HE USED IT AND DIDNT EVEN PRETEND IT WAS AN ACCIDENT

 

[klunderbunker]

Same answer for why countouts only exist when they need a dramatic slide in or a storyline ending.
