Friday Night SmackDown thread, Jan. 24, 2020: Roman Reigns & The Usos battle King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode

Can Bray just become a manager?

@Cwalker I mean if you're really interested make a thread asking why Raw is more interesting to people than SD.

Raw threads have been doing 800-1000 posts for each raw the last like 5-6 weeks. SD is averaging 200-300 posts.

If you remove the third hour from Raw, Raw still doubles amount of posts SD does rn. There's got to be something.

I do think SD is picking up a bit though. The return of old school DB, Sheamus and John Morrison have really helped.

Nobody home on Friday....this place just lucky I'm West coast time

SD airs on Saturday afternoon where I am, so I'm always free

 

[O-Blaze]

Well, alright see y’all this weekend for the shows.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

There's a clear difference in interest between the two shows.

One of the things is SD isn't embracing the trash TV element, but I suppose that's good so it stays fresh on Raw.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Now to watch Jeff's XCOM stream.

Props for the crowd on the "you have issues" chant....alot more family friendly than the old "you sick fuck" chant.

One gripe tonight......
the Mandy/Otis storyline is the most over thing in the company and has legitimately showing a ratings increase so they don’t even book Otis tonight, have Mandy out there for 30 seconds and only mention it in passing.

@BrotherBruce
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU’RE DOING!

Agreed. I knew it was missing something. That's SD's best storytelling angle going.

The Morrison/Kofi match was good, and I enjoyed the Fiend segment, I laughed out loud to the 'you've got issues' chants. The rest of the show just didn't interest me. I guess I am just 'that person' this week LOL

 

[Mox Girl]

Less posts this week than last. Come on SD, step it up, you're making me look like a flop

 

[Stellar]

Morrison/Kofi was the best match of the night for me.

Regarding having no Otis and little of Mandy, thats what happens when they do a crap job of building the Womens Royal Rumble match before last night.

Although I guess that they could have given Otis 2 minutes to wish Mandy luck and talk about how he loved catching her. The first match was quite lengthy and could have shaved time off of that.
