The Smackdown Thread!

Recommended Posts

Part of me loves the idea of taking guys who have nothing to do and pairing them up in tag teams so they can actually do something, but why couldn't that have been done with guys like Saturn, Kanyon, Ohaire, etc?

It totally kills the move. It is a blatant no selling when you take the full impact of a move and then have enough strength to instantly hold a man down for a three count who hasn't taken any immediate punishment. Oh, I could go on and on, just one of my most HATED EVER.

Ok...can someone please explain the reason behind Torrie/Dawn. I could see her reffing the US title match or something...but that match is just pointless.

I'm just going by what Monsoon called it: the momentum of the move gives the person enough of a chance to get over, then hold down the person, who is surprised by the roll over, for a pin.

That old explanation has always made sense, I just hate it as much as any rollup finish. I don't need a finishing move, but at least something that is decisive. How surprised can you be to actually stay pinned for that long with your adrenaline flowing after just kicking out of being slammed on your head at 2? See what I'm getting at?

Like Rene Dupree even knows who Andre was....he was 8 years old when Andre died.

 

Of course, someone could script it into his scripted promo.

Andre The Giant was billed "From Grenoble, France...in the French Alps."

 

I figured the Rene character would respect Andre for being a Frenchman...plus a Frenchman who won (even for a minute or so) the now WWE CHampionship.

Raw Rebound: Showing Smackdown fans why they should watch RAW instead.

 

Although, something is bothering me about what Bischoff said about Eugene losing.....

It's OK. It's still wrestling. It can be fun to watch if you let it, but not as electrifying as it should be.

I'd say it's a hell of a lot better than LAST WEEK. NOTHING can match last weeks suckitude.
