| OOfficial Discussion Thread for: SmackDown (May 30, 2017)Tonight on SmackDown: Randy Orton should offer a counterpoint to Jinder Mahal, who was given last week all to himself to celebrate his WWETitle win... per usual, I would expect Randall to avoid using his words to make his point, as they are not exactly his best weapon... some sort ofphysicality, with the Singh Boyz getting thrown under the bus, seems likely... Meantime, while the WWE Title is fought over by two of the least compelling performers on the SD roster, pretty much all other top level storylineshave been consolidated into one big 6-way scrum: US Champ Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, and Baron Corbin haveall been officially entered into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match taking place on PPV in just under 3 weeks... Last week, they broke those 6 out into a tag match and a singles match, and I assume we'll be running through various iterations andcombinations between now and MitB... while WWE hasn't tipped their hand in any official way, local advertising would suggest thattonight's show might feature Owens vs. Styles in a new chapter to their on-going rivalry.... We do know of one match taking place tonight, as a new #1 Contender to Naomi's Women's Title will be determined in a Fatal Five-way....Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Carmella, and Tamina are all involved.... based on recent outcomes, it seemed like WWE was setting Carmellsworth upto challenge Naomi, and my guess is she's the favorite to get the title shot at MitB.... but in the meantime, the buzz remains that in additionto a women's title match, there will also be a Women's MitB Ladder Match, too, featuring the rest of the roster.... While Tyler Breeze and Fandango each scored singles wins over the Usos last week, they fell short in an impromptu tag title match, which probablymeans their days as #1 contenders are over (however, the two singles wins and significant TV time are a good sign that WWE is going to keep onfeaturing The Fashion Files, which is A-OK with me).... the New Day are the most obvious choice for fresh challengers, annd by all acounts,Kofi's injury should be cleared up by now.... [alternatively, if the New Day are TOO obvious, Zack Ryder is active again on house shows, andre-uniting the Hype Bros would make for the most palatable dosage of Mojo Rawley...] You've also got Tye Dillenger and the newly minted "Drama King" Aiden English trying to get traction, while Luke Harper and Erick Rowan seemto be aimlessly roaming the countryside only to bump into each other for sporadic hossfests.... and whatever they're planning to do with Rusev(which seemed to be a gimmick where he threatened to hold out on debuting on SD, unless he got some kind of re-worked contract or other promises frommanagement), got shelved when they made the last second decision to give Jinder the title, thereby making him the Alpha Evil Foreigner du Jour... buthis story could be re-introduced at any time... That is all. End communication.... The flOOr is yours, OO Nation. Don't wait till after 11pm to post, either. Pre-show previewing and prognosticating is certainly welcome. So discuss, debate, and rate! | |||

| Started at the bottom now we here. Thanks Kev! ETA: As much as I enjoy that Gumby-limbed muhfugger's entrances, his glucosamine chondroitin allowances must be ridiculously expensive. Also, shut up Baron Corbin you goddamned meat popsicle and let Shinkie Noogieboogie funnytalk his way through a promo. ETA2: One of these guys is not like the other, one of these guys is just not the same. Also2, Shinsuke, Steen, and Generico in the here and now. Just me tonight? Alright, Kaitlyn gifs and tranny p*rn it is.... ETA3: Alright Baron, you get a +1 for this match, but I'm still keeping my eye on you and your hairline. ETA4: Money in the Bank is in St. Louis, Randall K. Chinlock's hometown. I...I don't know what to do with that information. ETA5: New Day. Great. ETA6: If they can handle Fashion Police, there's no reason to think the #BrokenHardys wouldn't work either. ETA7: Fine, Kaitlyn gifs it is. YOOu'll all be sOOry whenst I get to the trannygif portion of tonight's presentation. [Edited on 5-31-2017 by janerd75] "Well, life's a bitch n' then you marry one.

Does "Southern fried gibblets" apply to Floridians? Or are they a different type of post-bellum nightmare altogether?  Flair girl beast-mode! [Edited on 5/31/2017 by Paddlefoot] You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know,that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me sh*te and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, butI'm not high. You know what I mean?- Cassidy from Preacher, commenting on The Big Lebowski and/or professional wrestling | |||

Removing a poorly placed hamster? Another self-destructive victim of excessive butt-chugging going under the knife? The boys got too vigorous andturned one of the Tampa area COHF girls inside-out? The explanations could be endless.  Good and appropriate conversation to have just as Orton's theme hits. - Cassidy from Preacher, commenting on The Big Lebowski and/or professional wrestling | |||

Well, Jinder's not wrong.  quote:Originally posted by G. Jonah Jameson Thank you G.J.J. Thank you. Alright, alright, errbody be cool, we gots Dolphus vs. Age in Hotlanta.

| Frankly, that's pretty tame compared to what I expected to result from that particular wording. Having thusly tempted fate, I'm not going to check this thread ever again. | |||

| My sole addition to this is I was quite amused by whoever felt the need to be sure to point out the fact of AJ losing IN HIS HOMETOWN!!!! OHREAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY? I get the idea of "the heel gets more heat for beating whoever in/near their hometown," but I don't think it would killanyone to not do that every time. Unless it would kill someone. Vince might keep the basem*nt of WWE HQ stocked with ritual sacrifices just in casethey do that. You did it, Nibbles. Now chew through my ball sack. | |||

| Did anyone else find the ending of AJ-Ziggler fairly odd? I don't have a problem with AJ losing (I figure they thought Ziggler needed the winmore than AJ at this stage, which is true, and it was AJ's HOMETOWN, DUH!) but it just seemed kinda...disjointed. Ziggler kicks AJ off theropes which is all well and good but AJ almost looked like he caught himself and was still going to be on the offensive and then...superkick, he fallswith his foot on the rope, Ziggler pulls the foot off the rope, 1,2,3. It almost seemed like there was some miscommunication or they had to go homeearly or something odd. "Hulk Hogan have the sex with some dumb bitch on the TV. The girl smart if she make the $$ from his bald ass but she also desperate to have sex withthe howdy doody like Hulk Hogan. He worse than Mel Gibson and I think now %10000 he prove he have grasshopper dick and raisin balls." - The IronSheik | |||

| It did seem a little odd at the end, but the match up to that point was pretty damned awesome. I could watch those two wrestle every week. | |||

| Maybe the Fashion Police should investigate the whereabouts of Mojo and American Alpha. [Edited on 5-31-2017 by Slick] | |||

| Mojo can stay lost but I did think about the fact that Smackdown's tag team scene is certainly getting a bit more congested than it used to be. I guess "congested" isn't really the right word but between the Usos, New Day, Alpha, Breezango, Shining Stars (God, I wish they would justleave. Or change gimmicks again. Or bring back Carlito. Or both of the last two), and then I guess you still have Ascension, Rhyno/Slater, etc. allfloating around on the fringes. I just figure New Day's arrival will definitely make things top-heavy on the face side and I'm sureBreezango and American Alpha will be taking a back seat for a bit.

| I'm pretty sure Rhyno & Slater got moved to Raw during the shakeup. | |||

| The Colons are pretty good as an enhancement tag team. They bump around like hell and are slimy enough for the crowd to always want to see themcrushed. Yeah the tag teams are a bit overloaded, but I'm mostly worried about Harper. Dude has a great look, can talk, can wrestle his ass off and hadthe fans behind me while feuding with Orton. He should be having killer hoss fests against Rusev right now. | |||

| This, compared to what they made Alexa and Bayley do on RAW. It's a damn shame what they let happen on RAW sometimes. - Cassidy from Preacher, commenting on The Big Lebowski and/or professional wrestling | |||

quote:Originally posted by gobbledygooker I noticed this, too. It seemed to me that AJ was supposed to actually get his foot tangled betwwen the ropes (like Foley's head used to),perhaps leading to some chicanery on Dolph's part. One of the announcers even said "AJ's foot got caught" before quickly moving on. Otherwise, it was an awesome match to end a fairly entertaining SmackDown. | |||

Any way we can get the Fashion 
Police back?
