SMACKDOWN LIVE IS BAD HAIR VS. WORSE

Maybe Bill Watts was in the right for instituting the top rope rule.

I think the thing that probably irks Miz in real life is that he probably doesn't feel great physically even working a 'safe' style. He'll feel it every day he wakes up and he'll probably be in rough shape later in life like all former wrestlers. It's not like he avoids bumping in his matches. He just generally avoids head drops and gets his hands up on kicks. He's not willing to take that shit and in return, he also doesn't drop people on their heads or hit them really hard. 

Keep in mind, Miz suffered a brutal concussion in the biggest match of his life and can barely remember any of it.

One point of criticism is his complete unwillingness to catch guys on dives.  That shit is dangerouuus. 

[Curt McGirt]

But Bret only had how many years in the business when he wrestled Bad News and the Stomper? He certainly learned from those mistakes.

[SirSmUgly]

Bret also admits to hurting Randy Savage's foot in his book, for what it's worth. 

[Curt McGirt]

Also, the more you guys take sides and bicker about the angle, the less interesting it's already getting to me.

Bret never injured anybody. He'll always be glad to tell you that, whether you want him to or not. 

I can totally picture Bret going on about this to a cashier at a supermarket checkout.

If the office really had a problem with getting your hands up, nobody ever bothered to mention that to the Rock.

[Wyld Samurai]

And The Rock took a lot of liberties delivering chairs hits to the head. 

[JRGoldman]

I don't really have a problem with guys putting their hands up. It's a natural reaction to seeing someone setting up to hit you in the face. It doesn't take me out of the action or make it seem fake, it makes it seem like a guy saw a move coming and wants to block it in some small way. Putting your hands up in front of a steel chair at the last second would still hurt like hell.

I'm one week away from declaring that American Alpha are terrible and were completely carried to great matches by the Revival and others.  I'm going heel on them.  Also, it was so sad seeing Carmella jump out of the entrance and do her shtick to complete apathy.  

[Wyld Samurai]

Aa came across as a 1 trick pony in NXT and they haven't quite evolved from being so formulaic. Jordan is actually irritating... intriguing ability... but irritating.

[Matt D]

I wish Miz knew how to stall a little better. That's the one thing. He should be watching Memphis and Zbyszko.

By using this to bring in The Revival with Arn as their manager as the 8th team in the tournament to get back at Slater.

It'll never happen, but I can dream.

 

I kind of hate you right now.  I mean, not really...but now you've put this idea in my head and it's never going to happen.  So now I don't get to see Dash Wilder let Zack Ryder chase him around ringside right into an AA clothesline or Arn and Dawson both hitting guys with spinebusters at the same time.  Nope, I was right the first time, I hate you now.

[RIPPA]

Oh Christ no - don't make me hate Miz

 Is it public knowledge that you hate Memphis or do you just hide that like you're an alien from V or something?

[Curt McGirt]

The only thing that irritated me about AA was Dawson doing the crying face like it was such a huge win at the end of the match. Then again I haven't seen them in NXT

[Sammo~!]

I kind of like AA as jock bros who yell "Sick!" all the time. They seem like the perfect foils for the hipster trash that I wish the Vaudevillains were.

[steve]

I'm still upset that Breezango was first round fodder while either the Vaudevillians or the Hype Bros get to advance.

I thought it was fairly obvious when I didn't put Lawler on my list

"That'll be $5.00 sir."

"Hmmm. Five.  Like the five moves of doom, right?"

"ummm...is that something you saw on a t.v. show?"

"You know I could have beaten up Shawn Michaels any time I wanted but I was too much of a professional."

"okaaay...is Shawn someone at your elder hospice that we call to come get you?"

"You're a good kid. You're working clean and safe."

"This isn't money, sir. It's a pair of novelty sunglasses.."

[JCM]

So now people are turning on AA and saying they were carried I've heard it all now. They never had anything less than a good match in NXT including a pretty badass match with green as grass Authors of Pain. I guess that was Ryhno and Corbin carrying them to a great match in the tag classic last year.

I can't wait for Asuka to show up and have a few mediocre matches with Carmella and Nattie so people can say she was carried in NXT.

He's an entertainer, not a worker, and somehow Bryan, a guy who worked hard his whole professional life and took his job seriously is a moron and Miz, who was a quasi-reality star, who would get drunk and turn into his imaginary character, and who's life ambition was just to be famous....he's the smart one just because he'll do whatever wwe asks, no matter how degrading it is and because he has a semi-attractive wife.

Am I wrong in my summation?

You definitely wrong about that Maryse being "semi-attractive" shit...

By the way, if there were anyone who still believed this turned into a shoot, WWE just tweeted a link to "the segment that everyone is talking about".  If this had "gone too far" or turned into something they hadn't intended, it would disappear pretty quickly, not be repeatedly brought up by WWE.

True but there's the 5% chance it did go beyond what was intended and they are going to run with it anyway because it got people talking. This is a great look for the network too. Talking Smack has almost become must-see TV.  Whether it was intended or not, this could be a nice win for the network.

Nah, Shane vs Brock should be like Hulk vs Loki from the first Avengers movie.  

So you want to see Shane ragdoll Brock for a couple min, then toss him aside like a sack?
