Ups & Downs From WWE SmackDown (Jun 18)

kabir uddin yeh the same stuff every week but I thought this episode was great !

[@kabiruddin434]

Jack Glasson last time Smackdown was great was before Vince introduced the stupid wild card rule.

[@Pr0phetless]

You guys obviously don't pay attention. There is no wild card rule, especially if it's the same people every week. Vince just made it up on the fly when people kept asking "why are non-show guys showing up on the show?"

[@mnm284]

Wild card rules would make sense 2 weeks away from ss not now.

[@endersdragon34]

I agree totally. Hopefully by the end of Summer Slam Roman and Miz will destroy Shane causing a kafabe injury that lasts a few months.

[@endersdragon34]

Also I should add it's yet another sign that the WWE is starting to get it. With this and "A Moment of Bliss" being two of the best promos in a long time, added to Seth running roughshod over everyone, added to Roman finally looking cool, etc. there are definitely some signs that the WWE might soon turn things around

[@GameGuy9100]

@@endersdragon34 I highly doubt it tbh, I know it's cliche but the only way they can turn things around is by introducing another attitude era. The current situation in wwe is literally the exact same as pre-attitude era with the major threat of a rival company (WCW at the time, AEW now).

Even though WWE knows it's pissing us off with S**** on it was great to hear The Miz speak how we feel. I thought when Shelton came down chasing the 24/7 title, Rollins should of popped up outta underneath the ring and chaired Shelton and then beat every other wrestler who had chased into the arena. I enjoyed The Smackdown pieces that weren't copies of Raw. Great segment Simon on that WWE isn't making any sense.

[@therealMrA]

The 2 out of 3 falls stipulation was so Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston could both get falls. That doesn't really make sense because Seth Rollins already looked badass enough going on his steel chair rampage while Corbin basically cowered in the corner, but that's the (likely) answer.

You know that every time that it appears I find myself more mentally and emotionally invested in Simon's tidbit stories than I have in ANYTHING WWE puts out apart from the Firefly Fun House. My brain shuts off in every story WWE tries to tell because it's so dumbed down and thoughtless, then Simon's stories spark my brain back up. I mean did the dog become a millionaire then use the money to become human for the next tidbit. So many paths that can be taken to lead us to each new segment. Lol unfortunately I cant say that for WWE though.

Just saw an AD for Raw in Dallas Texas, July 1st. It now has Rollins vs Corbin for the Universal Belt match. A few months ago they had Roman vs. Drew. Stomping Ground PPV is just days away and looks like Rollins match is a DQ or he keeps the belt and they drag the story again with Corbin.
