#SDLIVE Discussion Thread, July 4, 2017: John Cena returns on Independence Day

[Deezy]

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but a lot of people who stopped watched TNA ages ago watched the PPV.

If you want to go "LOLTNA" at everything that's your prerogative. But they did manage to drum up interest in the PPV.

Tanahashi and Billy Gunn had more interest than TNA that day.

I mean if you say so. All I know is coverage and fan interest was higher in TNA than it had been in a long time.

i watched the match **1/2 - **3/4 at best

The Tag Title 4-Way, Full Metal Mayhem and the match with DeAngelo are what you want to check out.

I couldn't believe how good DeAngelo Williams was. I expected him to take no bumps like Pac-Man Jones.

 

[Smart Marx]

To get this back to SmackDown Live I just saw a few dirts propose the idea that the Paige and Woods video tape mention was in retaliation for Paige appearing at Slammiversary? Could Vince be that petty?

like Vince gives a fuck about some drugged out hoe hanging out in a mask like a mark....he'd only care if she was on camera.

I doubt he cares that much either, but Vince can be a petty motherfucker when he wants to be.

 

[Drew]

I still don't think she's drugged out, and calling her a hoe is a bit much. But whatever.

Also, why the fuck everyone hating on Bryan for doing his job? Y'all keep acting like he's the 2014 Authority. Hell no, of anything he's a Face GM, which is a good thing. And he should have done something about Ellsworth interfering again. Not because he helped her win, this time...but because he was banned from the arena and came back.

God forbid the GM punish someone for breaking a rule. But I know, Bryan is still the most over guy in the company(just listen to the reaction) so of course the internet hates him.

It was nice getting a Gable/AJ match. Gable held his own and that was fun.

New Day is still over as shit, which I wouldn't have expected a year ago, but that's cool, I still love those guys. Entertain as hell.

And I love the glow belt on Naomi...took a long time.

 

[Drew]

Also the Usos won the Rap battle...until Woods dropped it.

Wasn't fair though the New Day got 3 rounds and Usos only got 2.


Also, Maria and Maria's husband just don't really hold a candle to Miz and Maryse IMO, glad they're on different shows (hope they gave up breaking them up).

 

[Deezy]

acting like being a drugged out hoe is somehow a bad thing

GM Bryan's public shaming, threats of violence and firing, fining and subsequent suspension is a heel tactic.

There was no rule to break and thus wasn't punishable. It was a clever loophole being exploited and the authority reaction now looks like someone punishing others for a making them look foolish for the oversight.

An authority figure throwing their weight around because they know they can't be touched is totally what Stephanie McMahon has been critiqued for.
..Bryans no different in this case.

 

[Sabretooth]

Must say I did enjoy that rap battle. That Paige Woods line was clever. John cena is hype as usual. AJ won as expected.

Banning someone from the arena... person comes back in... not punishable

 

[Deezy]

Banning someone from the arena... person comes back in... not punishable

Like Dean Ambrose?

 

[Crippler]

why wouldn't he just put James in matches against people he can't beat instead, of threatening to take food off his kids plates?
