SmackDown Live WWE SmackDown thread, May 29, 2020: IC Title Tournament reaches Semi-Finals

[Lady Redfield]

Jeff can just use it as an excuse to show up drunk, he’s just making things more realistic

 

[King Kota]

Thought the storyline was interesting should if kept him off tv longer tho

 

[Mox Girl]

This guy in a Facebook wrestling group is so upset about the Jeff angle because of his IRL problems lmfaoooo did this guy just start watching wrestling today? Not the first time irl issues were made in to the storyline. What a pussy. (Thread reply)

lol i was the victim of a hit and run, and im not offended by elias getting hit by the car at all. people will look for any old shit to be offended by. it's a wrestling storyline LMAO

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Soooo many people are upset by this.


Attitude era would’ve killed them.

 

[Hoss]

I think it's pretty silly. I could understand if they were doing a similar story to Hall or Hawk where he was drunk on air, but this was meant to be a set up from the jump. Everyone knows about Jeff's problems. They made a fucking Network special about the shit. It just makes sense, if you're going to frame Jeff, make it look like he was drinking and driving.

I don't even care for the angle. I mean, it doesn't really interest me. But it's definitely some oversensity by people to try to make a mountain out of a mole hill here.

 

[Mox Girl]

yeah jeff was clearly framed, lol. jeff's a face, i doubt they'd suddenly have him hit a dude with a car

 

[Pat]

Gotta say, as a Jeff Hardy fan, I’m disgusted at this new storyline. If you look at Jeff’s insta, he is too.

They better make this right.

All I’m saying is that for how much people have given him shit about his substance abuse, and how he’s trying to get right, fucking lay off.

 

[Pat]

Well now I’m seeing the end of the show and it’s pretty obvious Jeff was framed as he just showed up by the end of the show.

Interesting way to build a feud.

 

[Lady Redfield]

Vince can suck my ass for doing all he can to piss on a great talent like the mighty ELIAS. What a fucking rip off. DERP DEE DERP HOW CAN WE RUIN ELIAS THIS TIME?? HOW ABOUT HIT HIM WITH A FUCKING CAR!!! YAAAAA THEN AJ CAN MOVE ON AUTOMATICALLY INSTEAD OF HAVING A GREAT MATCH, GOOD ONE, CREATIVE TEAM, EVERYONE GETS A RAISE!!!!

 

[Chris]

At least this way Elias still has possession of the Yoshi Tatsu action figure leg since he didn't lose
