Bear Wyatt Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 That main event was like something you'd book in an E-Fed. Really great work all around. Poor DB got crunched by Ali on the 054. Hopefully he's alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 This was an enjoyable show for sure. That main event tag. Nice to see Naomi get some shine against Asuka too. Good Brothers looked solid against the Usos. Fucking Big E.. lol 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Put Nikki back with Sanity and give them a run with tag belts. Sanity vs. the Good Brothers? Maybe, AJ helping out his brothers in some six man's vs. Sanity? Yes, please. ...and fuck that guy yelling "Go back to TNA" at Eric Young. You're not edgy or funny.

The Man Known as Dan Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I literally do not think you can pick 4 wrestlers in the company I would want to see main event a match toether then those 4. Well, 4 male wrestlers, at any rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Daniel Bryan is going to make sure people remember Mustafa Ali’s name and it’s going to be amazing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 That Asuka/Naomi match was absolutely awesome. The super side leg sweep looked killer, split legged moonsault countered into Asukalock attempts coming off like a legit struggle leading up to the Rear End for a great looking near fall before the eventual finish. Loved it. Also dig Vince getting involved there setting it up, adding an extra feeling of importance to it all. I'm probably one of few, but I always really enjoy Otunga on commentary. Looked like Ali crushed Bryan with knees on the 054 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Bryan definitely got a knee to the head on that finish. Ali almost broke character after the pin to see if he was alright. Hope Bryan is ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he doesn't have any control over the 054 but luckily it hasn't badly hurt anybody. I sure hope Daniel's okay but I definitely heard Ali say "Sorry, man" before backing away. That said I'm over the moon thrilled to see Mustafa on the SD roster. I'm a fan of him as a wrestler but an even bigger man of him as a man. I sense Daniel had a hand in making him look this strong which is to be commended. It's not often that a champion would just get pinned by a newcomer and it's not based off of some weird fluke. Also, we had a full-on return of "I have 'til 5!" and I flipped my shit. I know he kind of did it Sunday but hearing the way he did it tonight made me smile a wicked smile. Gotdamn I loved that main event which capped off a damn great episode of Smackdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Unlike RAW, this show actually did shake things up a bit. Naomi gets a title shot. Good Brothers and Sanity appear and re-insert themselves into the tag division. Mustafa Ali now a permanent member of the roster, and then getting a pin on the WWE Champ. Good stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I WISH I could remember what podcast it was but Daniel Bryan once told the host that all he wanted to do was make people who deserved it. And he went on about how talented Heath Slater was but no one knew it because he was a joke. But Daniel wanted to have a series with him and make him legit. And that's what we got tonight. A 205 guy who at best gets to be on the preshow pins the champ. EDIT: Well, I didn't find that interview but I found a similar one where he said the same thing about Tyson Kidd (before his injury) Its a Wrestling with Rosenburg podcast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Not to be lost in all the other fun is that Almas looked great in that match. Vicious and cocky to the hilt. Is that what the old timers mean when they talk about making your minutes count? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I'm offered a donut or cake at work I pass, and I'm treated like I just spat on them. It's no different than Austin drinking a beer and 80% of it spills all over him.

Peck Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I am so happy tonight. The Miz/Vince interaction put a smile on my face. The Rusev backstage interview put a smile on my face. The DB promo had me cracking up, especially at the fans celebrating being the most pollutant in California(only thing missing was a "We're Number 1!" chant). Mustafa Ali won the Main Event on a Main Roster TV show. This is how wrestling is supposed to make you feel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The only thing I didn’t care for was when Vince dressed down Becky and Charlotte. I thought it was really dumb when he talked about them making excuses, how anything goes in TLC matches and, my chief problem with any McMahon-wrestler who hasn’t been around WWE for 10-15 years: that they just stand there and get shit on and aren’t allowed to reply. Now they can undo some of that by Becky and/or Charlotte showing up on Raw to beat down Ronda and saying “Well you told us to stop making excuses!” but that will never happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
