Dolfan in NYC Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I do not care for Serious Shane. ("I condemn you to hell." GTFO you fucking cornball.) Nor do I care for no Bobby Heenan tribute. Nor do I care for 'Chop Socky' Jinder Mahal. My opinion of tonight's show: 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 When you can get a building-full of neckbeards to chant "that's too far" you've probably crossed some sort of line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Russev is #1 though, and that's nothing to scoff at. If the Shane/Owens HIAC match is nothing other than a rehash of Shane/Kurt then it's going to be shit. I started to wonder....is Owens giving beatings to all the McMahon's going to lead to a HHH/Owens match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I don't think I can cover all the bullshit in the show. I'll focus on two things. Jinder Mahal. Yes, it's a flop at this point no defending the title reign. But this promo, not going to blame him. This is either Vince or Road Dogg or both. No excuses. No 1980s excuses of "it was a different time" and all that shit. "ROOK". Really? In 2017? And Mr. Miyagi references? Really? This is the fucking best you dumb motherfuckers can do? to get heat? Fuck. Then there's Dolph Ziggler. Fucking Dolph Ziggler. Why? Also, who the fuck cares about DX acting like teenagers when they were old? It was ELEVEN YEARS AGO. If he came out in 2006 and said it, fine. But who the fuck cares about any of this shit? And it wasted like 15 minutes too. No Roode, no time for Fashion Police, women have to rush the main event, no time for AJ to have a good match.... no this needed to take up 15 fucking minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Yeah, this show sucked. I also don't care for KO apologizing. "Gee, KO came off looking like a psychopath. I know, let's have him apologize next week." If Vince isn't writing Jinder's material, whomever is needs to be fucking fired ASAP. When racial "humor" is the only way to get Jinder heat, it's time to pull the plug. I'm glad the Yankees are playing important games and Leah Remini's show against Scientology is also on tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I had the show on mute while eating sashimi and playing guitar. What the fuck was that Jinder segment about? My DVR didn't record for some reason and even so, I still wouldn't have rewatched it. It looked horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORELOCK Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Corbin cutting a promo bitching and whining and then ending it with "I'm not going to bitch and whine" was something. PERFECT ZERO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Hero Morganti Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I was there live. Opening dark match was Bobby Roode vs Mike Kanelis with no Maria Closing dark match was AJ and Shinske vs Corbin and Jinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Jinder's promo was offensive, terrible, and offensively terrible. Shane's, maybe, was worse. He could have been quoting the worst Fist of the North Star fansub. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo~! Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 So on the one hand I get the idea that Jinder is a hypocrite for complaining about jingoistic Americans booing him and then he turns around and makes racist remarks about Nakamura. And I understand he's a heel, and I understand the history of racist gimmicks in pro wrestling. On the other hand, as an Asian dude in America I have to deal with low key racism on an almost daily basis and sometimes I just want to drink a beer and watch some grappling and not think about that stuff and I'm really sick of this shit showing up in my wresting when I just want to chill out after work. So fuck this company. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Shane's promo was lacking. I skipped Jinder's promo since last week's already sucked. Hype Bros. vs. New Day was decent. Hope whatever change is coming is something worthwhile for the Hype Bros. Owens sounding psychotic was fine. The Baron/AJ/Dillinger stuff was decent. Women's fatal 4-way was fun. The lack of Fashion Police is just sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 This week's show was not that great. It did seem like Vince is very much writing Jinder's promos now. But as bad as the show was... RUSEV NUMBER ONE! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 You guys still watch this live?! Man, with a DVR, Smackdown is terrific. Skip Shane McMahon'''s promo, skip Jinder's bad promos, skip Dolph, skip Kevin Owens talking about a match I don't really care about, skip recaps, skip ads for Raw, skip commercials. It ends up a nice, tidy little 40 minute show. Though I do really hope that the Hype Bros promo where they said "We have to do something drastic" leads to them coming out with Dolph Ziggler for a NWO entrance which leads to Ryder and Mojo later going "Well that didn't work..." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I was only watching this show this week to see KO's response to what he did to Vince and of course I ended up missing it because I changed the channel because they had to replay the damn recap video of the beatdown from the start of the show. It amuses me that Shane is supposed to be really good in BJJ and stuff, but he still has the worst punches in the world. Can't he go to the performance center and learn how to throw a worked punch? MMA Shane in the Cell should be funny though. Can't wait to see how Owens is gonna almost kill him. The Jinder thing was just so terrible. At least have Nakamura come out and beat the shit out of the Sighn brothers. That's always fun to watch. But you know, gotta make Vince laugh over all else.

So fuck this company. As a Japanese-Texan I kinda felt I had to give my take on the situation. I was doing okay with Jinder's promo up until the "rook" part. I honestly did a "what did he just say ?" take after that. Was I offended? Not really, because I saw it for what it was - them trying to get heel heat on him. I know it's a character, and I know the person playing it didn't mean it, but I've got to say it was in poor taste and they shouldn't have done it. But am I going to call for a boycott or anything like that? No. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
