The Natural Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I know the show hasn’t aired yet but I wanted to start the topic for this: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I can’t remember the last time I looked forward to a TV match announced on the previous show like this one. Trying to keep my expectations in check as AJ Styles’ the best wrestler in the WWE and Luke Harper’s great, deserving of a big push for some time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Gotta stack the card against a speech from the president who gives the best speeches and gets the best ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 At the moment the only other thing announced is Miz TV with Cena as the guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Damn, I forgot this was going up against Trump. Ah well one can multi task in this day and age. Also, TIL the WWE has chair's matches outside of the TLC ppv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 That company's done a thousand questionable things over the years, but I do appreciate them having a stacked show for me to check out before another round of storms comes through my part of the country.

CSC Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I hope Smackdown makes this a habit of basically being what NXT was for the Big 4 PPV's by going out earlier in the week and putting on a "Beat That!" type of show for RAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foot on the rope and match restart makes no sense given how the match turned out. Shane's involvement makes me worried we still somehow end up with AJ vs. Shane. I don't feel like those in creative really have a set plan for the title program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 So one of the all time great opening segments gets bookended with one of the all time worst closing segments Yup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Wow. That was some hokey-ass shit. That's the most embarrassing thing I can remember in a long while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 So Harper/Styles seemed to kill any direction Harper has, the Orton turn was eye rolling as shit and I don't care about anything that SD is gonna be doing at Mania. Fuuuuuuuuck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 That was such a hard change in direction I'm almost wondering if Vince wants to try and spin this into Broken Matt somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zev Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Commit arson, defile a grave...to become a babyface again? At least what they showed of the women's match was solid. Meanwhile, when do they ask Dean to give up his belt for never defending it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I mean just even the music. When Randy did his big turn..."It's not my. world!" and the camera moved in all close up and the music was like "DUN DUN DUHHHHHHHHNNNNNNN!!!!!" That was some "my friends and I made a horror movie in high school with my dad's vacation camera and two VCR's" level stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorneAgain Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Orton posing in front of the fire almost saved that last segment, but overall a lame manner of doing the face turn. Incidentally, Cena doing a "burial" promo of a hated cowardly heel like Miz works so much better than him doing so to a technically talented and beloved one like AJ Styles; doubly so given Miz can get his heat back with just one talking segment.

piranesi Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 God I love Maryse's crazy girlfriend act. It's 1 million times more convincing and scary than Alicia Fox's cartoon version. She's the real deal. - You never know when or how hard you'll have to hold her back or whether she means it when she says "I'm Ok, now. I'm fine. You can let go of me." It's always convincing but it's only true about half the time. - When she's mad at you she immediately goes for dick size without even leading into it by bringing up your mother. I respect that. That's my move too. - Just when you think trouble is over she yells at the other guy to say "get back here right now so my husband can kick your ass you pussy!" - I'm 100% certain she's the type who will pretend everything is fine now and then when you wake up the next day you'll feel like something isn't right and there will be a vague pain in your abdominal or groin area and you won't be sure what or if it's permanent. I love Maryse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I don't have a problem with the segment except that it is unbelievably rushed. It is like they had a good long story realized it had too many chapters left and said fuck it let's just get to the ending. With 3 weeks of TV left. Okay technically 4 but I figure the last Smackdown will be like most of years and just be a time killer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
