Mario Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Just now, Red King said: Raw ratings are back up. NXT went up. The Dec 30th Smackdown will be nearly sold out. Current Setup/Capacity 12,517 Tickets Distributed 12,089 4,600 tickets moved since the Cena announcement. Meltzer made a comment a few days ago that WWE is moving tickets consistently until the day of shows and even does strong walk-up business on the day of the event. AEW, by contrast, moves their tickets when they first go on sale, then ticket sales slow to a crawl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 SMACKDOWN IS TAPED! It's the Usos versus Hit Row! Hit Row are The Public Enemy in the ring but without Ted Petty. This was pretty okay. It's a gauntlet match! Emma and Xia Li do some wrestling and Emma is eliminated pretty quickly. It's Tegan Nox! She gets eliminated! Raquel Rodriguez! She gets in a Powerbomb and gets the pin on Li. It's Liv Morgan! So the Smackdown ladies are definitely a step down from the RAW ladies. This section of the match is good. NASTY Superplex by Rodriguez. Morgan applies the Rings of Saturn! Rodriguez gets out of it somehow. They do stuff. Rodriguez wins with a THING? That whole section got weird. It's Sonya Deville! Deville versus Rousey would be good. Rodriguez is fun wrestling with one arm. Rodriguez must use both arms to hit her finisher usually because it looked odd tonight. This is quite the placeholder episode of SMACKDOWN. Rey Mysterio wrestles Angel. Great DDT by Rey for the win! It's Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci takes Brawn Strowman and Ricochet! Strowman sell well for a big dude. Effective use of the Christmas trees! HEY! Vinci BLEEDS! It IS a streetfight! A ballerina. The New Day are nutcrackers! The horniness of Ricochet after getting a kiss from his girlfriend to make him destroy Imperium is HEARTWARMING! That was a very goofy match. It really saved the bacon of the episode. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) Sami's opening promo was pretty good. Loved the fire in him to finally rid himself of KO. Usos vs. Hit Row was decent. Hit Row are ok, but they aren't ready for a match like this without a more skilled vet in the group to lead. Gauntlet match was mostly decent with the Liv/Raquel portion being good. Only wish Raquel had a second finisher where she didn't need both arms. All of her one armed powerbombs were more awkward due to having to sell a messed up left arm. Rey/Angel was solid but quick. Braun/Ricochet vs. Imperium was good fun. Nice brawl all around and the later bits with New Day and Ricochet's girlfriend were fun kind of dumb.

The peak for me is probably “The Date” with Flair and Precious and JJ wanting to watch from the closet. This is a solid 8 out of 10. It would have clocked higher if Rey was wearing an ugly Christmas sweater. My favorite part is the quick response time from law enforcement in the community the Mysterios live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo~! Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I'd just like to take a moment to appreciate how accepting Abuelo Mysterio is. Just a big hug for Dom and Rhea at the door. That's a man who loves his family and doesn't judge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhea’s performance seems pretty accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seldom find WWE comedy amusing, but this has several lol moment. Dom exclaiming “Mommy slapped Mami!” had me rolling. Missed opportunity not to have Rey dressed in festive Christmas colors. Maybe he’d look too much like an elf. I was amused at how nonchalant the police were about taking the word of a dude wearing a mask in his own house.

cubbymark Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 We need Dom in jail skits. Maybe he's sharing a cell with Mountie. He's not sharing a cell with Nailz for obvious reasons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I would also love to see the call between Rhea with Finn and Priest — do they fumble with trying to do a three way call on an iPhone or does The Judgment Day use some kind of conference line system? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
