[kingofrock]

Really should have gone 9.05 for SD last week,taking out those 0/1 like you did for Dynamite.

[mistery]

A 2.

You could tell Vince's fingerprints were all over this show. From a lot of advertised matches being tossed out to a Lacey/Charlotte match to Alba/Isla losing to a heatless tag team in an absolutely humilating fashion, this show completely goddamn sucked.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

4. This was one of the weaker Smackdowns in recent memory.

[chronocross]

4/10, I liked the opening promo, LA Knight's win and the ending segment with the Usos standing tall.

[asuka007]

4/10: and that’s me being genorous.

The opening segment was all over the place.

The tag title match was good. But that finish was THE WORST finish that they could have gone with. And given the aftermath it feels like Alba and Isla are being cast aside.

Liv!!

Charlotte vs. Lacey was predictably awful.

The ME segment was decent.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

No time to watch it this week but looks like I didn’t miss much

[ayumidah]

Butch

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

Lacey jobbing almost makes it a 10 for me but then -2 for Vince and -4 for LOLQANONDAWINS. So 4.

[mistery]

Reminder of how terrible Vince is when it comes to creative:

[Deleted]

I was tuned out for most of this so it just gets a 1 and would have just by the sounds of it regardless.

But apparently Bianca is barred from ringside next week in the title match....oh yea Charlotte is winning.

f*** this company...been just a little while since that was the norm.

It wasn’t even that Ronda won for me, I expected that.

But dear lord did they pick the WORST finish possible to go with. THAT angered me more than anything.

For me it's both.

And for the record, I do like Shayna and if her partner was almost literally anyone else I'd have been a bit less pissed, ass finish notwithstanding.

[Ishmeal Loves BBL Bayley]

Literally watched the show for Bayley/Shotzi. So 0/10.

He wasn't at the show but apparently threw out the script remotely. Its been reported that he has been calling in and making changes to the script remotely now. He did "minor" changes to RAW this week, and made massive changes to Smackdown tonight.

Its pretty clear he is trying to worm his way back into creative full time now, and testing the waters to see if there will be any pushback.

Sums it up for me.

Please send the ALBA FYRE gimmick to the moon and return her as Kay Lee Ray please. This gimmick is stupid and it's such an insult to her real NXT character.

It’s an interesting question.

Another interesting question is why didn’t you drop the 1’s and 0’s for last week’s universally praised Smackdown when you do it for every AEW show.
