Dewar Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 English probably should have taken the fall, but Mike Bennett isn't very good. The quicker they find a tag team partner for him, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Sweetser Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It's like a WWE 2K storyline gone horribly wrong. Why the fuck are they giving away Cena vs Nakamura for the first time on a fucking SmackDown? That's WCW-level throwing money away. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 And Kevin Steen (signed in August of '14, but) vs. AJ Styles on the undercard! But nevermind that, because there's a video series featuring Tyler Breeze and Fandango that might overshadow both, if it airs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'm so glad I didn't watch Battleground. Only thing I saw while briefly awake from dozing on the couch was Khali's return. I saw that, said "Heh, they did bring him back." then fell asleep soon after the match ended. Which is great because I can quite easily pretend Nak/Corbin never happened on that show and just remember this one from SD. And man was that a good one, really enjoyed Nak being awesome. Couldn't help but laugh hysterically at the idea of Cena/Nak on next week's show, but that could be a good one. And everything about that pic Dolphan posted is weird as fuck, talk about some alternate timeline shit. And that minute of Smackin' Talk made me sad. Renee and Daniel are so wonderfully great together and it sucks knowing the show's largely gone save for specials. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People pay 10 bucks a month for the network now, not 50 or 60 bucks for a PPV. The whole "throwing money away" thing doesn't work the same way it used to twenty years ago.

RIPPA Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Well the unspoken caveat too is that this is Smackdown - which clearly is in black sheep status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 'Throwing money away.' They make 150 million a year on TV rights. Booking quality TV main events should be a priority. Would you guys rather have Cena/Nak vs Jinder/Owens in a holla, holla tag team match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristobal Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yeah, I think Corbin factoring into Cena/Nak is pretty likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehabilitated Rick Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 is Jericho back then? his promo suggested he was back ''tonight'' which may or may not have meant it was a one time thing. He looked quite rough, that David Beckham Alice band revealing his receding hair coupled with his Bud light gut made him look about ten years older since the last time we saw him. His return and match were both great though, I'll give him that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought as well, mind boggling and the low point of an otherwise very solid show. Figured he'd easily slide in to an upper midcard role similar to Miz. Would much rather watch him than ever see any of the other three in that match again, but it seems most are sour on him. I dunno, still loved his Impact run and his current theme music. Great to see Jericho back, awesome opening segment and main event. Already felt like he'd been gone much longer than he had been. Was hoping it would mean he was working SummerSlam but guessing it's one and done for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
