WWF/WWE/ECW/WCW

Yeah, it seems they stopped letting Shane and Bryan have any sort of creative control.

It's sad because Smackdown Live was a good show for the first half of the year but ever since the "re-draft" they've been screwed. The show basically has no stars now.

Yeah, it's just a truncated version of RAW anymore... I can't believe they allow the Useless to call any member of TND "boy" and The Sphincters are a waste of time too.

No matter how they book her Ptomaine-a is utterly useless.

Now THAT was a killer RKO Outta Nowhere!

I've TRIED liking Bargain Bin especially after what he does on Talking Smack but damn, suet has more personality than he does.

Nattie broke kayfabe and called Charlotte "Ashley". Lol!

The whole Smackdown roster is pretty much devoid of any new blood with charisma.

The few charismatic "stars" they have like New Day, Orton and Charlotte have gotten stale. I swear Vince has deliberately cut the balls off of Smackdown because it was consistently beating out his "baby" RAW.

Which is just so STUPID considering he owns both brands.

And it looks like I might be hanging around for Smackdown because the Cardinals are getting their asses kicked in game 2.

I agree that that's what happened to SD, Vince is a megalomaniac who only has his finger on the pulse so he knows where to slit the wrist.

Come on in, Toho! I got some beers in the fridge, help yourself.

It's sad because for a few months there at the beginning of the year SD seemed like a breath of fresh air. I was actually interested in watching the show again. Now? Pfffttt... only if the Cardinals are getting creamed or have the day off.

It definitely takes a few beers to be able to stomach this crap.

Oh great, just in time for a Sami Zayne appearance. Yippee.

Now HERE'S an interesting character!

Probably the only one on the SD roster I give a rat's ass about.

My friend at work watched SD for the first time in months last week and he said he switched it off after the vignette about Nakamura. I said "Dude, you missed the only thing worth watching on that whole damn show!"

I have to say when Lana came out earlier amongst those ladders she gave me more reason to climb and not fear the heights.

I still watch for AJ and now Shinsuke although nowadays there's too many long entrances. Not even the mute button helps me watch Naomi anymore.

I'm still curious to see if Lana can actually wrestle. I sure hope so because she's got the look and charisma in spades.

So let me re-calibrate.

This match is Dolph, Owens and Borin' vs AJ, Nakamura and Zayne?

I still am not sold in her charisma but I do hope she doesn't end up being another cardboard cut out.

Scummy Stain is the 3rd

I think Lana has the charisma as long as she stays heel. She's great at insulting Americans in that Russian accent. If she's a face? Not so much.

Two multi person tag matches and they bookend SD... lazy booking among other issues with creative.

WTF?! Did they team up AJ, Shin and Stain cuz their colors match or what?

It's like the whole SD Creative team was told to tone it down.

"And just in case you guys can't do that, we're taking away your most popular stars" and leaving you with the dregs from RAW and NXT. And make sure you write crap that isn't as good as what's over on RAW or you're....F-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-R-E-D!!!!!!"

They sabotaged SD when it was beating RAW when Heyman was in charge of creative for SD. The end of the match/show is horrible.

Cards are only down 5-2 in the 5th.

That has to be more interesting than this crap.

And that's how the show ends?

Geez, both RAW and SD really suck these days. Thank God for baseball.
