SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, April 12th 2024: WrestleMania Fallout

Oh how about BILL FUCKIN GOLDBERG

Yep. Sometimes you don’t even need to say a whole lot. If you have the charisma to be able to get across what you’re thinking with just the way you carry yourself that’s enough. When Goldberg hit the ring and just talk for 45 seconds he would say way more with his eyes, his shoulders etc.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Heyman reiterating for the audience that Roman definitely didn’t order this hit. That’s why I love the brilliance of Paul.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

So with this one segment, they’ve already brilliantly given the bloodline, a new storyline moving forward, and at the very least without future speculation, we most likely going to have Roman and Jimmy the old guard on one side with solo and Tonga on the other. I would love to think Paul is going to stay with Roman and Jimmy, but he’s never been a baby face for too long. He’ll probably turn inside with solo and Tonga.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

One thing I’ve noticed is Tonga has this like way of like carrying his head and shoulders when he’s doing a prowling spot that I’ve only ever seen him do and it gives him an immediate credibility and swagger.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Bron’s theme is very Rick Steiner like. I approve.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Rick must feel like chopped liver when the commentary referred to him as Scott’s nephew rather than Rick’s son.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

You gotta love the work Bron has put into his conditioning and his bodybuilding. He looks like he was sculpted to be a superstar in the 90s.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Man, he is lightning fast.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

It’s wild to me like he’ll hit a thunderous and lightning quick clothesline, and theyll correctly refer to it as a Steiner line but then he still has the name Bron breaker which I don’t even dislike just irony for you.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Seriously, though, that might be the fastest clothesline I’ve ever seen. Reminds me a little bit more of Lex Luger clothesline even and that’s a praise for me because I always liked his.

Rick must feel like chopped liver when the commentary referred to him as Scott’s nephew rather than Rick’s son.

they've def done this before but I thought Corey said both ricks son and Scott's nephew this episode lol

 

[Bad News Booty]

he's a bonafide star
he's gonna be better than both Scott & Rick

definitely did

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I probably just missed the Rick reference

 

[Kross Rhodes]

That’s a pretty high bar for me. We’ll see if he clears it.

Scott more so. I wasn’t that big of a rick fan.
