victor Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Looks like a pretty good show. Barrett & Cesaro make a great tag team. * SmackDown kicks off with a look at The Shield and The Wyatt Family from RAW. * Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus for the WWE United States Title is up first. Sheamus gets the win clean with a Brogue Kick. Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were not at ringside. This was a good match with the crowd behind Ambrose. Ambrose did a dive out of the ring at one point and barely made it in before the 10 count. * Cesaro and Bad News Barrett vs. Rob Van Dam and Big E is next. Paul Heyman is on commentary. Barrett runs down climate change on way to the ring and says like Big E, when the storms hit, he will be forgotten. Crowd is behind RVD and there are some Barrett chants. Cesaro pins Big E after hitting his finisher. Before that, RVD accidentally kicked Big E in the head. The match lasted less than 5 minutes. * We get a Daniel Bryan vs. Kane recap from Extreme Rules. * Lana comes out and says America should change and follow Vladimir Putin. Rusev squashes Kofi Kingston. Kofi got in little offense. A loud USA chant broke out during the match. * The Wyatt Family appears on the big screen. Bray Wyatt rambles about John Cena. * A Bo Dallas vignette airs. * Fandango and Layla defeated Santino Marella and Emma when Layla rolled up Emma. * Roman Reigns vs. Mark Henry is next. Reigns lifted Henry over his shoulders to show his strength and then dropped him into a Samoan Drop. Reigns hit a spear for the win. * Los Matadores come out with El Torito to a big pop. They're going to face Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre and Hornswoggle. Torito pins Slater for the clean win. * Seth Rollins vs. Batista is next. Crowd chants "you can't wrestle" at Batista. Rollins tried a baseball slide, but Batista scouted it and got some offense in. Batista with a few more power moves including throwing Rollins into the steps and then back into the ring. Batista hits huge suplex and is being methodical. CM Punk chants start. Rollins turns the tables and gets going. Rollins runs into spinebuster. Rollins counters Batista Bomb and Batista rolls to the outside. Rollins launches over the top rope and lands it. The second time he comes from the top rope, Batista sees it coming and sidesteps it. Rollins hits the table. Batista rolls in ring, wins by count out. * After the match, Batista hits a Batista Bomb on Rollins as fans boo. Rollins sells an injury. * The Wyatt Family vs. The Usos and John Cena is next. The crowd was more pro-Cena than not. There was also a loud Usos chant. The match ends when a big brawl breaks out on the floor. One of the Usos gets hit with the lariat by Luke Harper for the clean win. Cena cuts a promo against The Wyatts after the match. He says Bray is afraid and didn't get the pinfall, he got his goons to get the win for him. SmackDown ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I've been way down on Sheamus for a long time, but I had no idea he was so efficient with paperwork. Like, did he do it all on the drive from Albany? How did he file it overnight? Does he sync it with Dropbox? or Google Drive? Is Bad News Barrett a notary public? I'm just really confused. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offspring515 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I almost feel like Dean was lying about all that paperwork. Perhaps he was too distracted by the titties he had to master. I mean look around backstage...Layla...Lana...Big E... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty J. Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Saw them yesterday. Had to research it for reasons. FUCK YOU DON'T JUDGE ME. On a SD related note: My WWE 2k14 team of Barrett and Cesaro is finally coming to life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rematch clauses kick in automatically. It's the new defenses that are 36 pages, require non-familial character references, and have to be filed in triplicate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget it all has to be notarized. You'd be surprised at how hard it is to find a notary in the WWE locker room now that Clarence Mason is gone and Otunga and IRS aren't around full-time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebbie Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I like that Bad News Barrett's first feud is happening just to bury a guy that the crowd isn't having of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 * Lana comes out and says America should change and follow Vladimir Putin. Rusev squashes Kofi Kingston. Kofi got in little offense. A loud USA chant broke out during the match. One of my favorite things is when wrestling crowds chant USA when no one involved in the match is (kayfabe) from the US.

I always thought that the USA chant was more to taunt or try to throw off the wrestler that hates the US more than anything in those situations, unless Hacksaw or someone like that was in there.

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I like that Bad News Barrett's first feud is happening just to bury a guy that the crowd isn't having of. Was Big E doing that badly with the crowd though? He seemed to be doing okay a couple of months ago - I really don't see how losing the surname helps him.

ebbie Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 idk. People keep saying that Big E has some charisma and personality and shit. I don't see it. He is pretty reckless in the ring though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always reminds me of when Lance Storm lashed out at the crowd for chanting "USA" during his match with Super Crazy. Or when WWF crowds would chant "USA" during Bret/Yokozuna matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is pretty reckless in the ring though. He hasn't had anyone to interact with to show any personality in recent months. It's always been 'declare No. 1 contender, title defence, repeat'. As soon as they decided to have a 8 man tournament his reign was so obviously living on borrowed time. I'm not saying he's all that, but they haven't given him much opportunity.

SirSmUgly Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I think Big E actually had the best press conference post-Extreme Rules. Well, maybe him or Cesaro/Heyman. He's definitely funny if you see some of the stuff he posts on his Twitter feed or some of the weird videos he put up. However, I don't know if his style of admittedly weird humor will completely translate for television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebbie Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Is it really that simple? I mean, I've always felt that babyfaces have to be charismatic and if they aren't near the top/at the top of the card, their characters have to be show that they want to be there. I don't know if we've seen that from Big E. Whereas the guy he's fought in the last week, is the exact opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Barrett wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire before they gave him the gimmick, though. Sometimes it's all about the opportunities you're given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's all about the opportunities you're given. Exactly. I'm not sure about Langston's schtick doing well on TV, but I think it has potential to and hopefully he will get the opportunity to show it. The crowd haven't been chanting for him to die or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
