Eivion Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Opposed to just changing the PC I kind of want them to go back to occasional touring. Would be nice for the PPVs to happen again in buildings that at least hold a couple of thousand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Best I can tell, Meiko's longest singles match is 30 minutes. Longest tag was 35 minutes She has been in a few gauntlet/elimination matches that went way longer but she wasn't in the full time. This also doesn't count the 90 minute 77 person Royal Rumble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 lol better to get him in now a) while he's still alive, and b) not in 2024 when he'd have to face the wrath of a stadium of Philly people. ... No wait.... I want that more than anything in the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longest tag was 35 minutes This begs a question from me: Is "broadway" just 30 minutes or is it anything over/a full hour? I've heard it both ways. I mean we know that an hour is a broadway, but the question is, can it define something less than.

Matt D Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Can we spend some time on this? Quote "The first time I watched the match it was on my phone with the sound off when I was trying to put Po to sleep. She was feeding. I was like, 'Hmm.' Then I watched it again later and was like, 'Oh.' I think it's going to be like one of those cult classic matches. It's going to be like The Labyrinth of matches. When it first came out, everyone was like, 'What the hell? Why does David Bowie have a giant codpiece and talking to our children?' Later, you realize something awesome about it every time and it kind of makes it one of your favorite movies ever. I sometimes need to watch it and sing 'You Remind Me Of The Babe.' That's what I feel like that match. Every time you watch it, you'll catch something new about it. Re-watchability is something that is very important in movies. The Labyrinth, case in point."

Kang Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Sept is 25 years of Goldberg month. They been uploading Goldberg matches to the WWE youtube. Goldberg is still signed with WWE, and he finished his matches obligations, still he can work for matches for WWE beyond that required limit now. He rehabbed his shoulder injury, he can actually lift more again, 80 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzkrieg Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) So they went ahead and dropped Street Profits, Los Lotharios, and Alpha Academy for Hit Row, Imperium, and Brutes. As much as I always enjoy Profits and Alpha Academy, it is nice for something a bit fresher. I am wondering where the Viking Raiders are though, they've seemingly been off the show since they beat New Day. Maybe getting retooled?

Eivion Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Roman/Paul gives me mixed feelings. On the one hand it could be a good match, and it would have just been fun to see Roman beat Paul's ass. On the other its the type of match and feud I'm not super interested in tv wise so I'm kind of happy they are using it on the Saudi PPVs/PLEs which I skip. 1 hour ago, blitzkrieg said: So they went ahead and dropped Street Profits, Los Lotharios, and Alpha Academy for Hit Row, Imperium, and Brutes.

I like that all the teams are SD focused, but I continued to be confused at to why the New Day are getting a chance having lost a feud so recently to Viking Raiders and with their last title match having the can't challenge the Usos again while champs stip. They could at least acknowledge maybe that the merging nullified it or something. Edited September 16, 2022 by Eivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 It's 8:43! Can I fast forward enough to get this done by 10? Let's see, shall we. It's Sami Zayne versus Ricochet! This should be good. Logan Paul is at ringside and I wonder if he takes in the moral dilemma of wrestling in Saudi Arabia. Back in my day, this would be like playing Sun City in apartheid South Africa. But hey! They are paying a lot of money! Hope that helps you sleep! Ricochet bumps big to allow Sami Zayne to beat on him. Sami Zayne bumps big off the toprope as Ricochet goes on offense. Good nearfall after Ricochet hits a pretty beautiful Springboard Cross Body! Another good nearfall after Zayne counters a standing moonsault with a roll up. BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Sami Zayne throws really good punches. There are a lot of school boys FOR TWO! As the Usos and Logan Paul interfere a lot. Shooting Star Press by Ricochet for the win! That was pretty good. Hey! Bayley is wrestling. She gets to get beaten to death by Raquel Rodriguez. Bayley looks good in this. Raquel sells a lot and sells the knee in particular. So she is all limpy as she thoroughly beats the crap out of Bayley! And she Vader Bombs both Bayley and Dakota Kai! IYO SKY cheats! Bayley WINS! Shotzi makes the save? I guess they are doing a Dudes With Attitudes thing with the Faces Against DMG CNTRL! That was good. Solo Sikoa takes on Madcap Moss! Why not? I ask you, WHY NOT? If both of these guys were 15 pounds heavier, this would be a TRUE hoss fight. I guess this would be a Junior Hoss Fight. Both of these guys are good in the ring. Zayne distracting Moss sets up a GNARLY Lariat by Solo. Sammy Zayne IS Bobby Heenan. Sikoa has done the Wild Samoans Nerve Pinch two matches in a row now. He needs to grow his hair all big now. Belly to Belly and WRECKED EM! So the North American Championship is to Smackdown what the ROH TV title is to AEW. Madcap Moss gets in a big wad of midgrade offense! I'm wondering if Solo Sikoa is the Barry Windham to Rikishi's BlackJack Mulligan. I could see it developing into that. Sami Zayne is a GREAT Bobby Heenan to set up Sikoa's GREAT looking finisher. What is that called? I'm blanking on it. Not the STO. Maybe it is an STO. Either way, that was really good. Sikoa looks like he can handle the big time. Madcap Moss is good. It's Hit Row! It's the New Day! Please note that I am caught up and stuck in the SMACKDOWN REALTIME HELLSCAPE at 9:37. Oh geez, is this a fucking four way? It's Imperium. It's the Brawling Brutes. Is this going to be like two weeks ago and Brawn Stroman is going to come out and beat everybody up? I love that all I give a fuck about is GUNTHER and Sheamus. New Day FLIES! Sheamus and GUNTHER continue to stare at each other and I join then in generally no-selling a FOUR WAY DANCE. We go to a commercial and I once again remember why I need picture in picture. Butch might be my third favorite guy in the Imperium/BB feud. I love that he is such a dick. Then I guess it's Vinci and then Kaiser with Ridge Holland bringing up the rear. TOP DOLLA! I had almost forgot other people were in this match as I was concentrating on the Imperium/Brawling Brutes aspect of the match. Kofi Kingston does a really great Psicosis Bump! Xavier Woods does a thing like John Silver does in an Elevation six man and runs around and hits something on everybody. Butch then DOES THE SAME THING! Dark Order is the major influence on stupid multi-man matches! Top Dolla does it but in one spot picking up three guys. The New Day gets a GREAT nearfall on Hit Row Other Guy! Imperium KILLS Kofi Kingston. Ridge Holland secretly tags Vinci back and steals the win! That was a fun version of a stupid set-up of a match. That was a fun episode of Smackdown. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
