[Lizuka #BLM]

It was kind of interesting in the first half for how weird it was but after awhile it was just a chore to get through and it feels like very little was accomplished. I'll give it a 4 but I'm teetering on the edge of a 3.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

Man, that was a nothing show. Can’t really blame them off a long ass trip and against multiple playoff games.

It really shows how utterly useless the show was that they did the whole OMGWHOSREPPINGJUDGMENTDAY build then the only purpose of it was Finn catching Seth offguard for two seconds.

[asuka007]

Can they please give Rhea a proper title challenger?

It feels like she’s more JD’s manager these days than women’s champion.

Also Becky looked like an idiot tonight.

That and absolutely no build for the new title was just baffling. On top of also going "Hey what Brand Split?" AGAIN by having AJ Styles on the show just to praise Seth and team with him... just really odd choices all around.

[clc]

Miz putting on a high flying clinic and Shotzi being garbage cancels each other out.

Good Trish promo, but on the other hand I don't really need an extended Trish vs Becky program. They aren't going to have a better match than the one they already had. Trish's new mook isn't very interesting to me.

New Women's tag champs but does not really feel like any sort of big deal.

Shinsuke getting a clean win over Bronson was a plus.

I liked the main event. Good job on Raw official Adam Pearce getting permission from Smackdown official Adam Pierce to make that happen.

There was a lot of so bad its good combined with genuinely ok stuff. I give it a 6.

[schizo]

10

It was a fun show

[Super Duper Dragunov]

Seth was absolutely the right choice as champ.

AJ: I know I’m supposed to be on Smackdown
Me: Oh, is that so? Had you not said that I wouldn’t have known the difference, lol

I appreciate the Becky/Trish feud b/c there’s not a title involved, and I really like Zoey so I'm okay with this continuing.

God Shotzi is just f***ing awful. She has a place in wrestling, but it's not as a wrestler. Good lord.

Okay, so the long hair, plus long entrance jacket are doing McDonagh's stature no favors. Dude looked super short, like shorter than usual. It was almost comical. And this is coming from a short dude.

Dead horse time: Cody’s whole feud with Brock would sound so much better with the title in the picture

Deez nuts? Ronda is such a dork.

Wish Judgment Day could get some momentum aside from Rhea.

Gonna go with 6. Even with DVR this shit's long, but I appreciated the energetic crowd.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Everyone's calling the show a drag or dull with middling ratings to match as such, and then suddenly there are five 10 votes

This is why I really hate when anyone brings up Ratings Poll discourses in any ratings thread, because it actively brings trolls back to mess with polls, and now I have to deal with it, cause this shit isn't subtle at all lol

Which Bitch? There's a few candidates floating around these parts.

[theironyuppie]

I'd say around 7. Nothing too essential on the story development side, but it was a easy watch with a lively crowd. It was a shame Shotzi put in a mediocre performance in the women's tag, but it was still fairly entertaining and had some solid Chelsea comedy spots. The Seth/Rhea interactions in the opening segment and main event were fun, too.
