So Goldberg's in the rumble. What's everyone think? Either going with Lesnar screwing him out of it then the rematch at WM or Goldberg winning and facing (and losing to) Roman in the battle of the spears.
Yeh you're right. Reckon Vince maybe worried it might drop the numbers if advertised as the main event, sadly. The match started great but the 2 botched table spots left the ending completely weird and flat which was a shame. Total silence, not even boos.
Cruiserweight was really good too.
I agree the booking has been good. Just simple and effective. Don't know which I'd choose as the 'A' show, they're very different which I like, Smackdown does benefit from lower expectations and feeling 'smaller'.
Yeh that was the one 'meaningful' match but even then the outcome was obvious.
New Day bt The Club
Neville bt Bo Dallas w/Axel
Braun bt Goldust
Big Show bt Shining Stars (who had some of the best heat of the night)
Charlotte bt Sasha
Roman bt Jericho (great promo from Y2J and ridiculous...
Anyone go to the O2 show last night? Thought it was okay but when first announced seemed like it might be a network special or something rather than a one off random house show.
Awesome! Slightly nitpicking I would've preferred Owens to actually beat Seth with his own move (still with HHH's turn on Seth) but great match still and all 4 came out well with good things moving forward.
She's immersed herself into the gimmick. :lol:
Smackdown has been overall piss-poor since it started IMO. Really flat (crowd hasn't helped) and just feels so small time compared to Raw. Especially the title picture. Shame. I'm an Ambrose fan but he's been real bland recent recently, was hoping...
Dude that's unlucky. I think they're gonna do a 4 hour SS again as well which makes it even worse when the main events are a bit flat. Totally over Ziggler as you say, just a wannabe HBK. It's like a Smackdown main event, hardly something worthy of the second biggest PPV in the year.
Happy to...
Smackdown was a bit flat. As CS said it really felt like the B show. Kind of over Ziggler these days so bit nonplussed at that, 3 or 4 years ago yes. Raw kicked its arse this week, let's hope it ups its game next week.
Agreed on Gallows & Anderson. Nothing amazing in the ring and haven't really got going properly, but I still want them to interest me. Not sure I see the Balor club happening currently.
And yeh, Bayley! Awesome. She'll do her goodbye match at the NXT PPV then come up full time I think so not...
Very good Raw. Excited for Smackdown too. Though yeh, the title name is a bit lame - though I think not having 'heavyweight' in the name helps the smaller guys seem more credible in a way.
