Good. It's long overdue. Never should have been in that spot in the first place.

Wait...why is everyone pissed at Road Dogg?

Wait...why is everyone pissed at Road Dogg?

Around Wrestlemania time, he became the head writer on Smackdown.

 

[Grievous 3D]

Around Wrestlemania time, he became the head writer on Smackdown.

Well...I admit that the women's division was being handled better
before that time...but its wrong to single out one guy to blame.

Plus he may be getting orders from higher up to change stuff...
which we know can happen and at the last minute.

 

[Randy Borton]

Khali is a legend.

 

[Black Wizard]

Great Khali returned and Jinder Mahal is still a champion in WWE? This isn't a joke?

It legitimately happened?

 

[Solid Snake]

Khali is a legend.

So is optimism.

 

[Solid Snake]

"Tuesday night Khali is gonna announce that Jinder is his son"

Saw that comment and half way believed it possible...
What world is this?

Rate stuff and discuss stuff below. I would prefer the discussion to be on how I'm a better person than Jacob Fox because I put through the torture of this ppv to do this thread but you can also talk about this ppv.

Spoiler: Why are we having this as a spoiler? People should realise this thread has spoilers!

TYE DILLINGER VS AIDEN ENGLISH
The match everyone wanted to see. The singer versus the Perfect ten. And Tye Dillinger predictably bea- wait what? HE LOST? ARE YOU SERIOUS? Bye bye Dillinger’s career. I knew you were probably gonna fail due to Breeze failing but losing to Aiden English on the preshow. Ouch.

THE USOS VS NEW DAY
In a match which was called by Project Jonny “a fucking amazing match” Xavier got the victory and the belts for their team by flying off the turnbuckle and highfiving the moon before elbow dropping one of the usos because who keeps track of which usos which at this point? Oh and Fans chanted this is awesome during the match. Fuck you crowd.

NAKAMURA VS CORBIN
Two of WWE’s best brawlers imo. Other than Ambrose and Owens of course but more on Owens later. They had an average match where Corbin destroyed Nakamura for most of it then Shinsuke came back and got kicked in the balls for it. Corbin wins via DQ which was probably the best decision. Corbin then gave Nakamura an end of days because he a big meanie.

CHARLOTTE VS TAMINA VS NATALYA VS LANA VS LYNCH
Naomi sat in commentary because that’s better than y’know COMPETING IN A MATCH?! She is the womens champion afterall! So the eliminations were Becky making Tamina submit. OH COME ON! She should have at least been close! Ugh….Tamina & Becky might be my favourites of Smackdown tbh. Talking about Lynch, she then made Lana tap. Good. Make Lana your jobber, I approve. She didn’t know the rules of a 5 way considering earlier she interrupted a pinfall of Natalya pinning Flair. Yep. Then Lynch got eliminated….this website does not tell me how. Dammit. And of course, as predicted Charlotte bea- Wait what? AGAIN?! Charlotte loses to Natalya?! When was Natalya even close to being relevant tho! Me no want Naomi vs Natalya! Nuuuuuuuu. Well that’s gonna be terrible.

AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens
This was the match where my laptop decided to give more than 1 frames a second. So thank you my laptop. And it was a alright match for what it was. Until the end. That referee is the worst. When Kevin Owens pushes Styles into you, you don’t look directly at them every second then pretend to be injured again! Come on man! He was just waiting for Owens to pins Styles. Ugh…but the shoulder was up so Styles probably gets a rematch.

CENA VS RUSEV
Worst match of the night. Terrible. The stipulation was stupid and the symbolisim through the match was also stupid. It was all stupid. Cena planted the flag but it was all stupid and me no care.

SAMI VS MIKE
This match I thought had some potential but damn it suffered being the toilet break match. Short match and it ended with Maria stopping Sami from hitting that t-bone suplex into the corner only as as soon as Maria got out, Sami reversed Mike’s finisher and did it anyway. Huh. Sami followed it up with a HELLUVA KICK TO THE JAW! And Kanellis didn’t kickout?! He’s been here a month! This is his first ppv match and he lost? …why? Is Sami getting a world title match against Jinder or Orton at Summerslam or something? It doesn’t make sense to me.

SIDENOTE
Also side note. Remember when Mojo Rawley won the ATGMBR? Nice to see he’s gone nowhere since.

ORTON VS MAHAL
So this was a Punjabi match…I don’t know why. But I expected Khali to burst in through the ring just because he’s The Great Khali and he’s supposed to be backstage. TBF Maybe he was just there to give the kendo sticks to WWE? Nevertheless. The Singh Brothers somehow got out of the apron which provides the question, when did they go there? They had a segment with Mahal backstage earlier. When did they have the time to go under the ring? Mahal beat down Orton with Kendo sticks after the Singh Brothers were killed…again. They are so the new J & J Security, I love it. But then one of the brothers literally crawled through the holes in the Punjabi prison and then pays for it by getting punched off the top of the PRISON THROUGH A ANNOUCE TABLE. STOP THE TOURTURE OF THE SINGH BROTHERS! Also nevermind what I said previously. GREAT KHALI LITERALLY RETURNED. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. HE ACTUALLY RETURNED. AND CHOKED OUT RANDY ORTON. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?! WHY!?

The kickoff show wasnt really to apealling to me. Tom I hope to watch the rest.

 

[¡Tranquilo!]

The finish to AJ/Owens will be a great segment on Botchamania. Also if Corbin can't get a decent match out of Shinsuke Nakamura of all people he shouldn't be touching the WWE championship anytime soon.

New Day/Uso's were the best thing on the show.

 

[Zardnaar]

3/10 no good matches as such, did not give a shit about the stories.

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

0/10

I went to bed early and ignored the ppv

Good thing I did! It fucking tanked!

I would usually give it a 1 for having wrestling but it had to lose that because it was so bad. 28 minutes in the prison? Dillinger getting buried? GREAT KHALI?! Fuck me sideways and call me Betty.

 

[SWL]

if Corbin can't get a decent match out of Shinsuke Nakamura of all people he shouldn't be touching the WWE championship anytime soon.

when's the last time Nakamura had a match that was better than his debut against Zayn? Because if I have to be honest here, no other Nakamura match blew me out of the water so far. So imo I wouldn't fully blame it on Corbin.

damn, the Singh Brothers have to kill themselves every PPV just to put Mahal's matches over. Everything Orton/Mahal did up until the Brothers interfered was the same shit we've seen before. I'd almost go as far as saying that the Singh brothers are the world champion, simply because they're the stand out of every Mahal match.

Also, Owens has been slacking. Hate to say it but this was his second match with Styles on a PPV and it just wasn't what it should have been. It also doesn't have to do with the ending because the crowd wasn't into it the whole time. I'm starting to believe that Owens is only able to have real stand out matches with Zayn. Granted, he also had good matches with Cena but then again.. Cena's a megastar, so any feud with him in it will get reactions.
Like, Styles is one of those guys who can have a great match with anyone and he didn't have one with Owens, which is just something to think about. Another thing to think about is that Reigns had way better matches with Styles than Owens did. Just sayin
