Live SmackDown Discussion thread, July 25th 2025: Randy Orton, Jelly Roll, Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul all set to rock Cleveland

[Y2Jayne]

Yes please.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Putting Kiana with Giulia is smart, she can speak for her while she improves her English... if she ever does (looking at you Iyo)

 

[Y2Jayne]

When is Talla Tonga going to have an actual match? Jeez.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Gacy looks in a lot better shape than he was on NXT, good for him.

Why is Jelly Roll able to cut a better promo than most of the roster

Tbh, I would think a lot of musicians would be good at it. Think how much they interact with fans at shows, probably roughly saying the same stuff every night with small changes here or there to fit the town. So doesn't shock me much

Cody Rhodes commenting that Hulk’s legacy is complicated but his contributions are important is awkward as fuck ngl

 

[Dale]

Rather he tell the truth and it be awkward than to just flat out lie.

Coulda just not said anything. They had a tribute at the beginning of the show. That was enough.

 

[Chris]

I actually think a half ass "everyone is complicated" or whatever way to acknowledge Hogan was a racist is worse than nothing too tbh lol like I don't even personally care that everyone is doing tributes bc of how big of a star he was, and I think it can be contained to that. Don't act like he was a good person, just talk about 80s Hulkamania and you're fine. If you're gonna say he's complicated then it feels disingenuous to not say why. People can be complicated for a lot of reasons

 

[O-Blaze]

Yeah that's actually a pretty good point honestly.

It's what's been pissing me off since his death more than anything. Talk about how shitty of a person he is or his legacy all you want but don't half ass comment on the other just to make it seem like you're acknowledging both sides.

Exactly lol. Was so unnecessary and insincere.

 

[Dale]

I just think whatever way you do it there's a whole section of people who are gonna be pissed off regardless.

Yeah, but I'm not really focusing on pleasing the masses lol I'm just saying what I would prefer personally. I don't think it would be the most commercially appealing outcome, what he said probably was. Which is also why I don't care for it
