WWE Smackdown recap reviews and reactions


Look at that… Jey Uso watches SmackDown!
Jey saw the look that everyone was talking about last week, and he wanted to know what that was about.
WWE put together another incredible video package, including Rikishi, Jimmy Uso, Afa, and Sika! They talked about Roman and Jey through the years, and brought the family aspect of this home. So well done.
Later on, Roman told Jey that he wouldn’t know what to do with the Universal title, because Jey doesn’t get the weight and the pressure of being a top guy. The Anoa’i family relies on Roman to be the tribal chief. Jey will never not be compared to his brother and he’ll never get the chance to replace him.
Jey then asked Roman what if he’s wrong? And by doing so, had a starmaking performance.
“You’ve been on top. There goes the big dog, the main event, Mr. WrestleMania. You know what they say when they see me? Which one are you?” I felt that line. Jey swung for the fence as hard as he could to hit a home run. And then Roman reached up and ripped it away from him, courtesy of a Superman punch.
Roman said he feeds the family by being the top guy, and they need him to be champion. “You’re gonna take this payday and you’re gonna take the ass whooping that comes with it.” Jesus Christ.
Very rarely do I legitimately and truly get hyped for a match where the result is known. Roman Reigns is winning on Sunday, but maaaan y’all I am HYPED to see this match. Bravo to both Roman and Jey Uso delivering promo of the year contenders back to back. They are invested in this, as am I, as are many others who have waited for Roman to be a badass without having to be saddled with poor booking.
What’s next for Roman? Well, Alexa Bliss shot him a death stare similar to his own on Jey’s last week after her match with Lacey Evans, and that should make for a very intriguing program post pay-per-view.


Ding dong delusional
My favorite part of all of this is how delusional Bayley has been.
Bayley thinks Sasha being in her corner didn’t help her? Really? Silly, silly Bayley. Though you won’t find me painting Sasha as a babyface in this scenario like many others have. Yeah she was attacked twice, yeah it was brutal, but we all know that way before this, she was shooting those heel turn looks behind Bayley’s back for months.
As Bayley said two weeks ago, she had to do it first. That makes sense to me. And the writing was on the wall after they both lost the tag titles because as I said that night, Bayley knows that Sasha is her fiercest opponent on SmackDown and it would have only been a matter of time.
The question is - will Sasha cause Bayley to lose, or cause Bayley to win on Sunday? Personally I’d rather they hold off on doing the match between them, but it’s WWE and you know they love giving it all away as fast as possible.
As fast as possible, and then beat us to death with it.


Lacey Evans wins via DQ - Alexa Bliss took a lot of Evans’ offense, with a few comebacks, but Lacey was able to control a decent portion of the match. Then the Fiend’s laughter echoed through the arena. When they returned from break, Bliss was getting ragdolled around and tried regrouping. She started to rally, and then you could tell she was off.
The Fiend took charge of ThunderDome and played his music. Bliss flipped a switch, beat Evans up and caused a DQ. She got Lacey outside and hit another really good Sister Abigail. I’m loving everything they are doing here. Then she did what I mentioned above. Sister Alexa at the Fiend’s side for his rematch with Roman… I like it.

Sami Zayn def. AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy - No, you’re right - we’re not at Clash of Champions yet. A triple threat two days before the pay-per-view triple threat? WIth the same men in both matches? Is that how bad creative is now? (Well we know how bad it really is!) The camera cuts during this match seemed like much more than normal. I don’t know why it felt that way, unless it really was the case, but it felt like enough that I noticed it.
I would have said that the finish we saw for this match (Sami taking advantage of a Phenomenal Forearm to Jeff) was going to happen on Sunday, but now I’m not sure. Out of the three, I want Sami to win. Regardless of that, AJ is the only person who has the right to complain, in my opinion. Remember back when Jeff won the title off of him, I said exactly what AJ has been saying - Jeff… kind of cheated! I just love Sami so much that I feel like he loses the most if he doesn’t become the true champion again.

Shinsuke Nakamura def. Gran Metalik - Kalisto and Lince Dorado (who looks really good in slacks and a button down shirt by the way) did not argue over who Metalik should be listening to this time. Metalik is great with his in ring style, though he did have a slip up early in the match after he lost his footing a bit on the ropes. Nakamura hit a great Kinshasa we almost didn’t see thanks to brilliant minds in production. The tension between Lince and Kalisto is starting to enter Andrade/Garza territory. Just do it already!


King Corbin def. Matt Riddle - In Matt Riddle’s few short months on SmackDown, nearly all of it has been feuding with Corbin. Like I said before, they love beating us to death. I really hope this ends soon. Even though it seemed like it was ending from Riddle’s post match interview, I don’t believe it one bit. I just didn’t care about this at all. The one positive - I will always love End of Days. I don’t talk about that enough, but it’s one of the most protected moves in WWE and Corbin is really good at delivering it.

Dreadful - There are only two legitimate SmackDown men’s tag teams. They were involved in a match on this show. That’s it. Tucker and Otis haven’t teamed up in months, Miz and Morrison suck, New Day is not around at the moment, only one Uso is on the show, and… I don’t know I feel like I’m Forgetting about a team. This shit with Heavy Machinery and the Goon Squad is terrible.

SmackDown is ready for Clash of Champions, and so am I. Roman and Jey are going to tear the house down, and the booking for Bayley and Nikki Cross should be very interesting. The match where I already know who is winning is the match I am most looking forward to. I can’t believe I’m saying that, but they blew me away here.

Are you selectively dyslexic or do you need words spelt out in neon lights to compensate for your ultra-poor eyesight? I was referring to fans treating club legends like shit. Madrid fans do that and even boo theirs. Barça fans don't. That's the difference.

DissTroy:
So what? Even during the La Masia era of Messi, Iniesta and Xavi, Barça had to wait four years (from 2011 to 2015) to lift the trophy again. And that was a team which should have won it every single year.
Messi's friendship with Suarez was why the 2015 UCL victory happened. Their friendship birthed the most formidable partnership of this decade (the MSN). That friendship birthed the miraculous PSG comeback which is the stuff of legends.

Suarez became shit but Barça getting ousted from the UCL in the last four years have been entirely defensive errors, not from a dearth of scoring. If that's the yardstick then Pique should be tied to a Catalonia emblem and thrown midair without a parachute from a cargo plain into the Red Sea. Umtiti should be fed to drugged piranhas too.

Keeping Suarez on the bench wouldn't have hurt anyone. Arsenal's Per Mertasacker(?) became shit but they didn't kick him out like a dog. He's their Director of Academy today. Bartomeu's actions just severed all Barça ties with Suarez till forever. He got disgraced out in a way. They freaking sold him for 6 million! 6! And to a rival team too.

You should be a Madrid fan, really. They are the ones who treat their legends like shit and boo them in stadia. They are the ones who feel loyal soldiers who have fought bravely for the cause should be put down after years of service instead of getting medals and honour services and retired with benefits.

Players like Coutinho and Griezmann who can potentially give it all for the team are definitely taking note. And we have Bartomeu to thank for that.
This one just started watching soccer this season

Messi's penchant to openly criticize the club that pays his wages for the past 20 years is becoming really a bad practice.

Anyways, that you are a GOAT doesn't mean you are educated.

Pique shares the same legendary status as Messi but Pique hasn't disgraced the club openly the way Messi has dragged the club at every turn. It doesn't mean Pique does not have his misgivings against the leadership of the club but it means he has proper education and he's not being managed by his fuckkking dad.

Gossiper! You love controversy.

Besides, I don't believe Suarez was kicked out. The club was honest with him and granted his wish to play for a top rival, and got nothing from the move. The club social media accounts have been awash with all manner of celebrations for him.

Suarez should be the one that is very grateful to Barca. Barca picked him up when no one wanted him. After his world cup biting controversy and subsequent four month ban from football, he was avoided like a plague. Yet Barca still signed him and he couldn't play for us until November of that year

Messi is of course fed up with the club administration but that does not mean everything he says is the gospel truth. sad angry Of course next year, he will be joining Suarez on the exit. That should put paid to all these stories of god-like players who feel they are bigger than the club. No player is bigger than the club because sooner or later, you will get old and your knees will buckle and you will be forced to retire but the club remains.
Oh wow really

WWE NXT Reviews recaps and reactions


New Blood
We finally got some new blood in the NXT title scene.
That would have been the case no matter who won this week. None of these men have received a one on one title shot. (And I don’t think a group one either.) But Kyle O’Reilly’s victory felt like the right choice.
Despite being the tag team guy in the Undisputed ERA, he has the Brazilian jiu-jitsu background to be a believable singles competitor right away. Not that Timothy Thatcher’s style doesn’t make him believable too, but he just lost to Finn Bálor less than a month ago.
Cameron Grimes is really entertaining, but I wouldn’t buy him in a title match, despite having a tainted win over Bálor before. Kushida was attacked by Velveteen Dream, directly leading to his elimination, furthering that feud which could get a TakeOver spot. Bronson Reed could fit that role, and they did a great job making him look like a beast once again here. But KOR is the best choice.
The match itself was new, but the staggered entries didn’t really feel like a big deal. They were able to use it at the end of the match to point out O’Reilly was fighting uphill since he started the match and Grimes was the last to enter, but that really never felt like a factor. If they booked this as a standard fatal 5-way elimination match, I don’t think it would be too different.
But as a fatal 5-way elimination, it was very good. As mentioned, they did a great job booking the big man. He manhandled everyone when it was one on one. It took a team effort to get him down. (The missed splash into the KOR top rope knee didn’t look impressive enough to finally end him, though I can imagine why that beat him.)
With Big Thicc finally out, we got some great action between Thatcher and O’Reilly given their unique styles. O’Reilly eliminated Tim as well, being able to avoid getting his leg picked and instead pinning the man.
Right after that pin, Cameron Grimes delivered the Cave In, which in most situations would end it. That move is very protected. But KOR was able to get his foot on the rope and a celebrating Grimes had to get his head back in the game.
O’Reilly ended up using a dragon screw on the Carolina Caveman’s leg, which paid dividends when Grimes tried and missed a second Cave In. That tweaked the prior targeted leg and KOR immediately locked in a heel hook for the win.
Kyle celebrated in the ring with Adam Cole and Roddy Strong so there aren’t any issues with Undisputed just yet. (Bobby Fish wasn’t on the show in general.) We’ll see how long that lasts.
I’m excited for the match Kyle and Finn will have in a week and a half. O’Reilly has a more unique style and Bálor is a great worker so they should make some magic.


Big Rematch
NXT opened the show with the battle royal to crown Io Shirai’s new #1 contender.
It was a fun match. There weren’t as many legitimate women as the numbers would have someone believe. Maybe half the competitors was made up of women we haven’t seen on TV much if at all. They served as fodder for Raquel González and Rhea Ripley as they showcased both women as heavy hitters, eliminating most of the field. (Raquel looked to have the most in this match.)
The other showcase in the match was Kacy Catanzaro’s creative elimination saves. It seemed like a third of her time in the match, she was doing something to avoid hitting the floor, whether it was handstands, scaling the guardrail, or walking on her partner’s shoulders. These were all fun and likely received the time they did because there weren’t that many featured talents in the match.
Raquel and Rhea eliminated each other, indicating that their showdown is in the near future. It looks clear that González is getting a big push, and they’ve done a good job building her up quickly. It’ll be interesting to see what that means for Dakota Kai.
Speaking of Kai, she was one of the final four of the match. It was her, Catanzaro, Shotzi Blackheart, and Candice LeRae.
Dakota and Kacy were quickly eliminated. That left Shotzi and Candice to work together for a few minutes. It was another strong showing for Blackheart, who’s been impressing big time lately.
They ended with a battle on the ring apron and the steel stairs that had some high drama spots prior to LeRae kicking Blackheart off the stairs onto the floor.
Candice is the correct choice here. We know we’re going to get a great match at TakeOver. Shirai and LeRae had a great match last year and I expect it to be better this year. Their bout a year ago felt like a coming out party for both women within NXT. But they don’t need that any more. Now they can go out and kill it.
It’ll be surprising if Tegan Nox doesn’t play a part in that match, given Candice injured her before this battle royal so revenge is a-comin’.


Showing Fire
Jake Atlas showed more of that fire he showed last week in his match against Tommaso Ciampa.
Psycho Killer’s vicious attack weeks back lit a fire under Atlas that he didn’t have before. He showed some real aggression this week, even attempting to slingshot Ciampa under the ring like Ciampa did to him. The referee stopped him, but it proved he’s no push over.
Tommaso ended up winning. That’s not surprising. He opted not to win with Willow’s Bell but instead stop the pin to deliver the Fairytale Ending. But despite the loss, Jake showed the aggression he needed, especially since they saddled him with the “I’m rooting for you, Drake Maverick!” gimmick on debut which did him zero favors.

All the Rest:
- Damian Priest defeated a very game Austin Theory. After pretty much getting his ass kicked by Kushida last week, Theory took the North American champion to the limit. While that seems a bit out of balance, the idea that Austin is very talented but very raw could easily answer for why he has better weeks than others.

- Odd couple tag team of Roddy Strong and Danny Burch defeated odd couple tag team of Fabian Aichner and Raul Mendoza. This was the brain child of mad scientist Fandango, who was using a British accent which William Regal didn’t appreciate. Now Undisputed and Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch will face each other to earn the right to face Breezango. That was a very very good tag team match at a TakeOver two years ago.

- Ridge Holland had a showcase match where he may have murdered a man with headbutts.

This was a good show. Both #1 contender matches delivered in the ring and set up strong matches for

This is the best thing I have seen in a while! James Franco knocked his performance out of the planet.

I didn't expect to enjoy this movie this much, this is definitely taking a special place in my heart.

Based on a book written about the making of "THE ROOM (2003)" a movie now widely considered the greatest bad movie ever made, James Franco put together a Stella cast supported by an endearing story to bring to the screen what I would say is an incredible picture.

It's funny, dramatic and very inspiring.
