.....don't Khali and Jinder hate each other? Y'know, because Jinder tried forcing his sister to marry him.

The fact that you remember this is astonishing

 

[elvisaintdead]

I kind of liked this match - better than most Hell in a Cell's of recent years.

I think I'd take all 3 of the 2016 Hell In A Cell matches over this match.

 

[Shauni]

HIT HIM WITH THE GREAT CHOP!

The move that KILLED The Undertaker!

 

[mreddie]

Not even Capital Punishment 2011 was bad, FUCK THIS SHOW,

 

[serenewarfare]

So...... tell me about this G1 tournament? Smackdown is dead to me for now.

This is the answer you are all looking for. Wrestling doesn't have to be bad.

 

[Bronx-Man]

ugh i'm not ready for renee spending another talking smack treating jinder like a top babyface


wait what

is this a kayfabe thing

It's literally how Jinder made his debut back in like 2011.

 

[FallingEdge]

lmao Owens is amazing.

 

[mariachi507]

Apparently the ending was botched and the match was mediocre

No

Well that's disappointing. Guess I'll be skipping this one.

 

[Hex]

Somebody queue up the R-Truth gif

 

[Bronx-Man]

Your memory is too good

The fact that you remember this is astonishing

I watched way too many shit episodes of SmackDown back in 2011, might as well get something out of it.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Eh, I was more concerned for the 100 or so times he's dropped one of the Singh Brother on their necks from various heights.

Yeah, that is not great either, but at least they were landing more or less the way you are supposed to land. It looked like Orton was going to do an uncontrolled tumbling hall from the top of the cage, and only saved himself with his grip strength.

 

[mariachi507]

And yes, NJPW is amazing and everybody should check it out. Now's the perfect time with the G1 going on.

 

[Heroman]

So...... tell me about this G1 tournament? Smackdown is dead to me for now.

Njpw Premier event of the year and so far this one had been the best in history

 

[ShadyK54]

Somebody queue up the R-Truth gif

Here we go

 

[ramoisdead]

"I'm the elite! wink wink..."

Owens is great.

Wash the taste of shit out of your mouth by joining us as we enjoy the G1 tournament, aka the best in ring wrestling of all time.

Thanks!

 

[mreddie]

Thank the gods WWE gave me 3 free months because I wouldn't pay for that shit, even if I traded in a copy of WWE Crush Hour.

 

[tchocky]

And yes, NJPW is amazing and everybody should check it out. Now's the perfect time with the G1 going on.

True but since NJPW charge you on the 1st of the month new subscribers should probably wait a week.

 

[Hex]

Here we go

 

[Keyser Soze]

I refuse to watch Faking Smack

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

renee always looks ready to legit kill kevin

 

[Archaix]

Thank the gods WWE gave me 3 free months because I wouldn't pay for that shit, even if I traded in a copy of WWE Crush Hour.

On the other hand, WWE gave out a bunch of free 3 month subscriptions in a plan to get people back to paying them and provided this as incentive.

 

[Hex]

Not going to lie, Owens is not amusing right now.
You can be all heel without going all in on Renee there.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Not going to lie, Owens is not amusing right now

Yeah, he's just being a dick and not an entertaining one.

 

[Heroman]

Meanwhile in the East.

 

[Sinatar]

God DAMN KO is going in on Renee.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

renee is getting legit mad lmao

 

[Zukkoyaki]

I never post in the wrestling threads but man this product is dogshit right now, especially Smackdown. Like... It's what I would call impressively bad. It feels like you would have to actually try to put on a product as poorly booked and non-compelling as this.

Reigns, Strowman and Joe all trying to kill each other is the only thing worth watching from this company.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Meanwhile in the East.

Zack Labour Junior gonna win the G1 just like our boy Corbyn won the hearts of Britain.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

So after the AJ match I decided fuck this and went to sleep. I wake up because I get a text saying wow what an jnexpected ending or something like that.

Now I found out it was Khali. Just fucking let me sleep.

 

[ramoisdead]

Yeah, he's just being a dick and not an entertaining one.

Then he's doing his job. He's being a heel.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Then he's doing his job. He's being a heel.

Yeah I know, but his prior appearances have usually been with a bit of comedy to enjoy it with.

 

[UberTag]

Not going to lie, Owens is not amusing right now.
You can be all heel without going all in on Renee there.

Watching that scripted garbage is just telling Vince you approve of him sending Talking Smack out to die.

 

[ramoisdead]

Hahahah off screen, Owens yells "shut up".

Damn Owens being vicious.

Yeah I know, but his prior appearances have usually been with a bit of comedy to enjoy it with.

Comedy Owens ended when he destroyed Jericho. Owens is comedic whether he's heel or not, but it wasn't him doing any favors. Now he's doing a good job having people legit hate him.

 

[Hex]

Then he's doing his job. He's being a heel.

No, he is not.
Don't be such a mark.
Even more so, don't try to be such a smark.

 

[excelsiorlef]

PPV was dull minus tag match.

KO/AJ was fine and for those guys fine is bad.

Gave up after that.

Did come back to see Khali. I kinda dug the choke. Good sell by Orton but yeah bad show.

 

[ReiGun]

Shit like this flag match stuff is why people don't like John Cena. Everything about his character is pandering and more pandering.

 

[FallingEdge]

No, he is not.
Don't be such a mark.
Even more so, don't try to be such a smark.

You believe that they were being serious.

Who's the mark now.

Do you think someone screwed up the KO/AJ finish? Its been implied and it went against the smart money.

 

[Sinatar]

Time to Bret: 30 seconds

 

[Brinbe]

Shit like this flag match stuff is why people don't like John Cena. Everything about his character is pandering and more pandering.

Being at the show and completely surrounded by legions of Cena fans, it's sad to say that it works.

The 'casualzzz' eat that shit up.

 

[excelsiorlef]

No clue.

I doubt it.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Good shit Natty...

 

[the most mountain of dews]

damn the KO interview is brutal

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Time to Bret: 30 seconds

does her best of the best comment work

 

[Hex]

Who's the mark now.

I do not believe they are being serious.
It was uncomfortable to watch, which is the last thing needed in this day and age is big bad man berating and talking down to their main female.
What made it more so is all of the jabs taken about killing the show, when it was pretty clear that people were upset about it being pulled even main roster people.

 

[ReiGun]

No doubt. I know it's effective. It's just annoying when people act like they can't see why others can't stand that shit.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

SHE SAID IT

EVEN WHEN UNSCRIPTED

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Her personality is name dropping Bret Hart

 

[Sinatar]

I do not believe they are being serious.
It was uncomfortable to watch, which is the last thing needed in this day and age is big bad man berating and talking down to their main female

But it's ok for The Miz to talk down to DBry? Gotta protect those poor defenceless womenfolk.
