Owens, Styles (who I wasn't a major fan of in TNA but he's won me over) and Y2J -Shane-O hits the ring.
And the crowd is electric.
So Smackdown is where it's at and not Raw - circa 2003/4 when it was Lesnar, Angle, Benoit, Mysterio, Cena, Hogan, Show, Gowan, McMahon, etc etc on Smackdown?
Crowd is jacked - and I'm not picking up my remote and staying tuned in.........

Smackdown makes stars, and is the more down-to-earth show. Raw wastes talent and disappoints fans to the point where they turn on their favorite wrestlers.

This isn't the garbage I've tuned into sporadically for years with the remote in my hand and would immediately turn off with their pumped in crowd reactions and chants where the crowd is dead. Tuned in opening segment tonight and I'm still tuned in. First match Owens Vs. Styles? This is really good stuff. Don't mean to beat a dead horse but the last time I tuned in for wrestling on a regular basis was Smackdown circa 2003. I can be the biggest critic out there of the current product - can't remember the last time I watched a full RAW - probably circa 2002 when the nWo returned.....but to call a spade a spade - everything I've seen of 'today's' Smackdown has been great stuff. *** Edit - I have egg on my face - after the Owens / Styles match the rest of this show is cringe worthy and I'm only an hour in and couldn't take it anymore and changed the channel - guess I'll tune back in at the end for the Cena match |

I can't say I blame you, especially if you were watching the Fashion Files backstage segment.

I can't say I blame you, especially if you were watching the Fashion Files backstage segment. Are you talking about the 'Twin Peaks' segment with breeze and fandango. see - here's the thing - I'm the biggest Twin Peaks dork out there. favorite show of All-Time. But - a lot of people don't 'get it' - and I'm shocked they did that piece with an audience who had no clue what in blue hell they were talking about. The middle of the show was abysmal - but the opening of Styles/Owens was great and I did enjoy the Nakamura/Cena match - but to call a spade a spade - I just don't get why people are so wildly over for Nakamura - but we all have different tastes and I have my fair share of sports entertainers who are my favorites who others can't stand. i can actually see people starting to boo this guy in the future. and a heel turn where he's kind of 'evil' ala The Great Muta who spits mist would be kind of cool if he turned. |

I don't watch Twins Peaks, so I guess i'm with the people who didn't get it either. i think i'm part of the 1% who appreciated it but the whole time i was thinking to myself - this show was popular in 1990 - granted it just came back - but it's 'dark' and on 'Showtime' and WWE viewers aren't watching Peaks - as WWE gears its show towards a PG-13 crowd nowadays. amazed they went that route - i mean - i'm hoping this is a sign Smackdown and WWE may be getting a little more edgey - but I'm guessing that segment was over 99% of viewers heads and i can see where it would come across cringe worthy if you're not a 'Peaks' fan. |
