one of my pet peeves in wrestling is pointlessly putting wrestlers who have a big match coming up on a PPV into a nothing TV match where you have to beat one of them.
Companies LOVE doing that and I don’t get it?

Yeah this is the most Go Home show to ever Go Home, right down to the Main Event DQ and brawl. Shit sucks lmfao
Two other things I hate
- Get Odyssey Jones away from me, even if it's in a meaningless WWE Speed Match just... get this dude outta here
- New Catch Republic actually being Dunne and Bate's new name makes me want them to fail lmfao

Brooks said these spoilers suck and they should bring back the New Generation Era.

one of my pet peeves in wrestling is pointlessly putting wrestlers who have a big match coming up on a PPV into a nothing TV match where you have to beat one of them. Companies LOVE doing that and I don’t get it? Because otherwise you have to book matches with people who AREN’T on the PPV, and that’s even MORE pointless because you’re not building anything, not even with a token effort of such. And you guys would be the first to say that if that actually happened. We REALLY need to figure out what the f*** we actually want from weekly TV. You want PPV-quality matches and feuds? Then don’t get upset when there’s nothing saved on the PPVs. You want big stars? Then don’t get upset when some of them have to lose because everybody hates dirty finishes. You want to save the stars from losing or getting injured? Then don’t get upset about soft three-minute matchups between the lower card and or actual enhancement matches where you literally only use half as many name stars as a result. I’ve been on his board for nearly 19 years. As such, I think it’s fair to say that every solution to every booking problem just creates another problem. |

The best part about pretaped Smackdown era spoilers was when sometimes people would post totally made up threads of fever dream shit where it'd be like "Alberto Del Rio won the match, but afterward John Cena came out and breathed bees into his face"

The Black Flag screen grab on the last page was 100% me.

Seems like a lot of the problems with how boring SmackDown is would be solved if it had a functional midcard but y'know, gotta make time for an endless cycle of Bloodline segments.

Don’t book 2 people who have a big PPV match like the next day to face each other. This is not complicated. There was ZERO good reason to do this match. |

If the idea is to protect the matchup for the PPV, then sure, don't have it on the show. That's fine. But now the objective is to replace it with an alternative matchup of similar value, presumably with people not booked on the PPV. But hang on... Aren't wrestlers inherently LESS valuable if they're not booked on PPVs? That's what I'm told by wrestling fans. Man, it's going to be tricky to find a matchup of similar value with wrestlers of perceived lesser value, isn't it? Why would I watch a show full of wrestlers that aren't important enough to be put on a show they expect me to pay money for? Some of them have probably even lost to the IMPORTANT wrestlers, haven't they? OK, I've laid on the sarcasm pretty thick, but you have to see the conundrum here, right? |

I mean the conundrum mostly seems to come down to you thinking all people simultaneously possess all opinions. It's true not everyone's going to be happy with every decision but I don't think acting like any criticism of anything ever is completely invalid because, "Yeah but have you considered that the alternative is the alternative?!" is really accomplishing anything. |

It does not help that they set up this “revenge tour” for Liv specifically. And she had been back for a few weeks.
What possible purpose dose beating her already serve? And heck beating Tiffany already is dumb as well.

Looks like a nothing show (outside of Tiffany vs Liv), and I'm fine with it.
Won't miss anything while sleeping to be awake for Elimination Chamber.

And heck beating Tiffany already is dumb as well. Because Liv didn't lose clean. Spoiler report there didn't note it, but Bianca attempted to go after Tiffany, causing Liv to get distracted and rolled up to lose. I would also say Liv losing isn't the end of the world since she has been absolutely ice cold since her return as well. Her fans might be interested in a "revenge tour" but its pretty clear that the average WWE fan does not care. |

It's probably time she turned heel and a mean girl team with tiffany would be quite intresting . |
