Yeah, that usually takes at least a month or two for a high profile debut/return to become "just another guy"!

Sepholio 10-17-2022 02:51 PM

XL gets it. Bray coming back normal would have turned the fans nuclear. No one wanted that. Even though I'll admit seeing bray get emotional was incredible, that spooky shit at the end saved that segment from being an absolute disaster.

Mr. Nerfect 10-17-2022 03:27 PM

Bray Wyatt has sucked since 2014. Chances are this is going to suck too.

The clown and animal masks aren’t “spooky.” They’re stupid and played out. The further you get from realistic the worse he is.

#1-norm-fan 10-17-2022 03:36 PM

Regardless of how you feel about the character, Bray Wyatt is an incredible performer. Any failure he had or has in the future to succeed is all on the company.

Sepholio 10-17-2022 04:40 PM

Noid sure does love to repeat his wrong opinions.

This will be another case of you admitting I was right all along.

I'm sure the day will come when I admit my favorite rassler is terrible because you said so. It'll probably be right after The Rock starts his new world beating promotion.

You can admit something you like is terrible.

Bored @ home so randomly turning on Smackdown (from the beginning)

Forgot they renamed Pete Dunne to "Butch".... seems like something Triple H would change back

They could bring in Jacob Fatu. They won’t, but they could.

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:05 PM

Fun opening tag.... really like this Jey Uso/Sami Zayn thing too....

Mr. Nerfect 10-28-2022 10:07 PM

Holy fuck, I just checked out Fatu’s Wiki page. His age has never been on there, but because he has 6 kids I assumed he was maybe older than you’d expect and he just didn’t get noticed for years. The guy’s only 30.

He got arrested for armed robbery when he was younger. He saw The Usos on TV and it inspired him to become a wrestler. It’s quite the story.

WWE has made me want to see Jey Uso vs. Sami Zayn like it’s a dream match. They could run that at WrestleMania just fine.

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:14 PM

Sami looking like he gonna cry at Jey calling him a fake :(

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:16 PM

Roman legit cracking up at Sami lol

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:17 PM

Now Jey cracking up when he is supposed to be serious

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:18 PM

When Roman turns on Sami and we get the Sami/Roman clash it is gonna be so huge.... I can really see Sami being the one to beat him

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:21 PM

Braud with the Maximum Male Models hot braud....

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:22 PM

Maximum Male Models were legit my fav part of the house show I went to..... friend (non-wrestling fan) was disappointed that Xavier Woods wasn't there cause he was one of the only guys he had heard of....

No they can't. He's under contract to MLW for another 3 or 4 years.

Whoa! Liv Morgan back from the dead!

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:28 PM

At the same house show I went to, some little girl in the crowd was going absolutely nuts for Liv Morgan (still champ at the time)

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:31 PM

Forgot about Braun's nose piercing.... looks like garbage....

Can't believe they brought him back just to immediately just make him "not matter much".... but his "look" is messed up anyways.... been messed up ever since he switched up his "classic look" from those video clips they showed of him flipping things

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:33 PM

Emma!! Sweet..... too bad she is coming in to job. Wonder if she is "back" or this is just a one time open challenge surprise.....

Mr. Nerfect 10-28-2022 10:35 PM

Braun’s always needed a better look.

Mr. Nerfect 10-28-2022 10:35 PM

The SmackDown women’s roster is pretty dire, so her being back there would make sense. She could also use some time in NXT.

Mr. Nerfect 10-28-2022 10:36 PM

She ended up losing me during her main roster run, but an Emma that returns to NXT to try and beat Mandy Rose for the belt she never won would be pretty “feel good.”

Mr. Nerfect 10-28-2022 10:37 PM

It would also give a lot of people boners.

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:41 PM

Boring match, got distracted....

Lock Jaw 10-28-2022 10:49 PM

Another friend at the hose show really liked Hit Row.... first time I saw them too, and I liked them... seem "classic team" of small guy and big guy....

After the match the big guy (Top Dolla) was taking pictures and slapping hands with fans while the other two immediately went to the top of the ramp, seeming like they were just like "hurry up man"

lol What the hell was that...... Top Dolla holding hands with Escobar, Escobar just looking at it.... Top Dolla grabbing it and going up to balance on the rope and poses for like 5 seconds.... while Escobar just stands there looking at him, holding his hand..... and finally Top Dolla jumps off with the chop to the head

At the very least Escobar could have acted like maybe he was "out of it", but he very much acted like he was just watching.

I think its a good way to stall the feud while dominik builds himself up, and gets better in the ring. Dominik will eventually do something so dastardly the rey will have CENA NUFF, and finally kick his sons ass. Judgement day turns on dom for losing and then father and son reunite to fight them.

Sami got both Roman and especially Jey breaking character and busting up laughing, so good

Bray Wyatt fucking sucks, man. It was always going to suck. The dude has maybe a few good months behind him and the rest is pure shit.

Lock Jaw 10-29-2022 02:16 AM

Said it before, but I'm getting serious Corporate Mankind vibes from Sami right now.... kind of goofy out of shape weird looking guy with wild hair trying to fit in.... will eventually get kicked out and it will get people rallying behind him big time

Mr. Nerfect 10-29-2022 02:17 AM

Vince was a convenient scapegoat for people. Sometimes Vince would put a stop to their more ridiculous ideas too. Bray Wyatt’s problem with his stuff under Vince might have been an issue of “not enough” instead of “too much.” You see the same shit with Chris Jericho in AEW. Sometimes the talent’s ideas are just not v good.

Sami was such an amazing babyface in NXT. He’s a great performer as a heel, but very few people can be as human as he pulled off in WWE.

Lock Jaw 10-29-2022 02:21 AM

I remember posting when he was in NXT that I thought he could be the next John Cena. Just a humble genuine good guy who could represent WWE as their main face to the media.

Mr. Nerfect 10-29-2022 02:23 AM

I thought he had incredible chemistry with Renee Young. I don’t know if I saw the charm carrying over to the main event of the main roster, but I thought he deserved a solid spot. He and Owens should have been the IC Title match at WrestleMania 32.

WWE has done a great job of taking what he’s got and making it part of the WWE landscape despite his lack of size, physique, etc. They’ve really played to his strengths.

Mr. Nerfect 10-29-2022 06:33 AM

Apparently Madcap Moss and Emma are dating. Zack Ryder lost Emma and Mojo Rawley to that guy.

Mr. Nerfect 10-29-2022 08:16 AM

The segment with The Bloodline is amazing.

Just watched that whole segment. Even Heyman started laughing at one point in the background.

Sami is having the absolute run of his career. Guy has been incredible in this storyline.

Sting Fan 10-30-2022 04:27 AM

Hobbs TNT title feud should be good, should be a great Hossfight. Hope the ensemble dont get in the way too much including Joe.

The Wyatt thing keeps popping up on my social feeds, so fucking glad he didnt end up in AEW with that goofy ass shit.

The Sami stuff looks funny though, good to see him get some shine although I don't see him the way many on here do. I think having him beat Roman would be a waste at this point but other than waiting for Cody they appear somewhat booked into a corner on this one.

Mr. Nerfect 10-30-2022 04:36 AM

I can see Sami being the last guy tossed from the Rumble, being used to work with the top guys, etc. The Mankind spot is pretty perfect for him. I don’t think it’s time for Cody Rhodes to blast Roman over the head with a chair and help Zayn win the belts or anything.

I’ll say this — as much as I don’t want them to split the championships up again — if they HAD to do it, Zayn sneaking away with one with help from Cody or something would be less annoying and detrimental than a lot of other guys winning it.

XL 10-30-2022 05:31 PM

I wanted Zayn to win MITB at that be the reason Roman keeps him close in The Bloodline, having Zayn as an “Insurance Policy” should Roman ever lose the title, hinting heavily that Zayn will hand the briefcase to Roman to take the belts back. The crowd get behind Sami cashing in for himself. Whether you “pull the trigger” or not, I’m not sure.

This is pretty close though and it’s great.

And luckily it means they’ve been able to get Austin Theory into a great place.

XL 10-30-2022 05:32 PM

Oh.

Mr. Nerfect 10-31-2022 03:54 AM

I wanted Zayn to help Owens win MITB to screw over a babyface Reigns didn’t want with the shot. Over time, Owens would question whether Sami believes he can actually beat Reigns or if he gave him the shot because doesn’t think he can do it. Conversely, Reigns and maybe Heyman become suspicious that Zayn may have deliberately handed the shot to his friend and that he can’t be trusted.

Smackdown was really good again. Wish raw was two hours.

Mr. Nerfect 11-12-2022 02:19 AM

Something might shake out of the new TV contracts. WWE gets paid out the ass for that 3rd hour, but if there’s a bidding war, Raw might be worth a lot of money for just 2 hours somewhere else, or the price might drive up its costs for NBC Universal and WWE might have leverage.

DAMN iNATOR 11-12-2022 02:31 PM

Drop the third hour but bring it back in the form of reviving Sunday Night HEAT. The main roster is borderline bloated with talent and they could use it as a showcase for jobbers and low to mid card guys and gals.

Yeah, they always have the “LIVE” thing in the upper right corner, they just dropped the SmackDown! LIVE moniker in favor of the more classical Friday Night SmackDown! to suit FOX’s demands for a show with a more serious and sports-like tone.

They’ve already got Main Event, but they can always pump out more content as sweeteners for their partners. SmackDown doesn’t have any shows taped before it, does it?

I don’t believe so, and also, I had no idea Main Event was even still a thing.

Do you think HHH is doing some of these redebuting acts a disservice by ripping off the Tony Khan trope of “every show has a surprise debut” trope?

It was quite sad seeing the lack of reaction for Tegan Nox. Would they be better off doing promo builds for some of these guys, especially the ones that barely got going in NXT? When does HHH stop with the surprise re-debuts?
