    SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, August 11th 2023: Austin Theory defends the US Championship

    Yes the guy who was literally called ‘The Chosen One’ in the first part of his original run, and was singled out by Vince on screen before his lack of charisma, personality, etc made his push untenable was picked for success. Yes the guy who was brought back to WWE and immediately treated as a...

    SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, August 11th 2023: Austin Theory defends the US Championship

    When I say not a WWE guy I dont mean WWE style or WWE original I mean a hand picked WWE guy. Rollins is a WWE guy for example because he was hand picked to be successful. LA Knight isn't because he was meant to be a go nowhere time filler feud for Bray but got over and lets be honest here...

    SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, August 11th 2023: Austin Theory defends the US Championship

    That for the last 2 decades in WWE when someone gets organically over they tend not to get pushed, rather almost punished for getting over without permission. WWE picks who they want to be over with the fans and pushes them accordingly.

    SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, August 11th 2023: Austin Theory defends the US Championship

    Nice to see they've finally taken the US Title off of Theory who just does not have 'IT' and still cant get over even as a cocky heel Champion. Should have put the Title on Knight though, but I think we all know they wont really get behind LA Knight no matter what, he's not one of 'their' guys...

    Live Money In The Bank Discussion Thread - Saturday July 1st 2023

    Was cool seeing Jey get that win over Roman. The story has come full circle. They just have to follow up on it from here and not drop the ball with the Usos. They've already massively dropped the ball with Zayn and KO and squandered their momentum/overness. They need to follow up on this win for...

    Live NXT June 27th 2023 Discussion Thread: GOLD RUSH Week 2

    Was cool to see Corbin bring back his Lone Wolf gimmick. Particularly after his NXT ring gear has been pretty damn dreadful. While his myriad of other gimmicks in recent years let him show more character and promo skills Lone Wolf is still clearly his best gimmick. And despite the 'opinions'...

    Really enjoyed seeing Miz get that once every 3-4 months of good booking. HHH just has to resist the urge to bury him again next week though.

    @GabrielleFWA Seeing myself announced for the Hall of Fame was a surreal moment. A part of me always wondered if it’d ever actually happen. Another part of me wondered if I even deserved it. Now all I feel is pride.

    SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, April 21st 2023: 2 Title matches

    Was there any kayfabe explanation given for why Sami and KO weren't there to back up Riddle? Surely the Babyfaces were smart enough to realise Riddle would be ganged up on, and the Babyfaces would surely be there to help their buddy out...

    Raw Live Raw discussion thread, April 17th 2023: The Beast is back

    I did really enjoy serious Miz making an appearance for the first time in what feels like years. The guy can be pretty damn great when he's allowed to be but he's been saddled being a comedy buffoon for so long now. Hopefully that was the start of a push for the guy.

    SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, March 17th 2023: Warriors clash for Intercontinental Title opportunity

    There is and there isn't. If Reigns is dethroned already and the Bloodline is crumbling it means less if thats when Sami gets to go over Roman, and even less again if its after that, that Jey gets his comeuppance on Roman from 2020. I like Cody and I like his story, but I just have zero...

    SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, March 17th 2023: Warriors clash for Intercontinental Title opportunity

    While WWE is in danger of dropping the ball with Sami (history suggest so if nothing else) and they'd be fools to not let Sami have some kind of Main Event run from all this. We've gotta see the return of Main Event Jey Uso as well. He's been absolutely killing it for months and months now...

    The stakes were just raised for Brock v Bobby biiiiiiiig time. Whoever wins...actually loses big time and then has to feud with Bray Wyatt and his nonsensical rambling go nowhere wrestlecrap. I'm here for Brock no selling his doofus ass though if thats the feud we get.

    SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, February 10th 2023: The Usos defend the SmackDown Tag Team Championships

    I'm actually interested in a Ricochet match for once, though just to see what happens with Jey and the Bloodline next. I suppose they're saving Braun vs Walter II for WrestleMania but Walter vs any 4 of those potential challengers isn't very exciting. Though Walter and Rey could produce a good...

    SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, February 3rd 2023: Title Opportunity awaits Braun Strowman & Ricochet or Imperium

    I'll preface this by saying recency bias of course plays a part in this. The Bloodline angle is one of, if not THE best story ever told in Pro Wrestling. And as a sidenote the fact the WWE is simultaneously running such a great angle while also letting Bray Wyatt tell his nonsensical...

    Sasha's debut as Mercedes...was painfully bad. I like Sasha and glad she's wrestling again, but that was so terrible.
