SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, August 25th 2023: RIP Bray Wyatt

[Chris]

Fuck that Bray opening video package was hard to get through

 

[Chris]

I'm gonna have to watch the rest later tonight or tomorrow I don't think I can get through the LA Knight promo from what I've heard rn

 

[Cwalker]

The opening video package had me in tears. I won’t even lie.

it fucking broke me, I'm about to rewatch when I'm home and just let it out

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah I felt like hell watching it. Had to calm myself down afterwards.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

At least it reminds us that we can still feel emotions

Yeah I had to take my glasses off when watching the video because if I didn’t they would’ve got foggy

Dusty sucks eggs

This was just about the best way to do a tribute show. Wasn't like Raw is Owen or RAW is Eddie where folks talked about how Bray touched them, since that's all already been said on various medium. Glad that they did multiple tributes to Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt most of all. Glad they brought back the Hardcore Match for one night, even if it was in-name only. We also got a few stories continued in between, but none of the major angles, since rightfully they were pushed back for these tributes.

WWE did just about everything right tonight.

 

[Chris]

This Cody tribute promo is great

 

[Chris]

"Unlike all the other wrestlers who went there, he actually attended classes" I'm dying

 

[Hidden Blaze]

You know. I didn’t even really think of that. I was wondering where the stuff was where they talked about Bray was like they did for Eddie and Owen. But the difference is, back then social media wasn’t what it is now. Back then you really couldn’t put your feelings and thoughts out there online. So I guess it makes sense they didn’t have those little segments

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Well social media I don’t even know if it existed when Owen died I’m sure it wasn’t. I THINK it was when Eddie did, but not to the scale it is now. Pretty sure MySpace was a thing

 

[Chris]

the crowd singing really got me
