WWE: Smackdown Live 24: "Flossing like it's Fortnite" And Take the champ's photo!

[Jussi]

Almas should not have lost that match..

Meh, he tried to cheat and was stopped. It was booked logically so I'll give it a pass.

 

[The Gongshow]

He totally should.

Naw, they should have waited till next week to have the rematch, Aiden turns on Rusev, Alnas wins a nd then we get our pre-show match for HiaC

Honestly, the biggest issue with wrestling in 2018 is the fans.

You want Becky pushed, boo her. Get her over as a heel. But fans always think they know better and think they can do better.

Dude! They were cheering her like crazy for the last three months!!!!! They were behind her! They wanted her to get the belt!!!!

Now, you: "Well this is what the company wants guys so boo her just do it cmon guys you are the worst!"

 

[Lunatik]

what nonsense

Not really. The terrible crowds and idiocy of the internet wrestling community is turning me off wrestling way more than the subpar writing.

Guess what, the writing has always been subpar. It's basically a soap opera and it's always been that way. But suddenly it's expected to be Oscar worthy.

Having Rusev/Lana lose 6 times in a row is a good way to bury them.

Yeah she was cheered. BUT SHE WAS STALE AS f*** AND HAS BEEN FOR WELL IVER A YEAR. People bitch and cry about wanting a change, they get it and they still bitch and cry. The same shit is ruining other sports too. Fans in 2018 are awful

 

[Jussi]

You need to be an established heel, or have a better turn for some cheap insults to actually garner heat.

Charlotte isn’t nearly over enough as a face to make a Becky turn stick, and there really isn’t another face she could beat up to get it either.

Plus the timing is completely wrong. Becky is more over right now then she might have ever been. This is not when you turn someone.

Honestly this kind of booking screams sabotage. They want to keep pushing Charlotte in a build towards Ronda, but Becky is getting too over for it to work. They don’t want to outright bury her, but they need to cool her off so “bam” ill advised heel turn.

It reminds me of DB joining the Wyatt family. It made no sense he was too over for anyone to believe it and that time they eventually listened to the fans. Perhaps next week the mothercanuckers in Toronto will make it known they support Becky by just singing her entrance theme?

Crowds are terrible for cheering for the person they want to win?

I was more thinking about hijacking matches like the Rollins/Ziggler match in Philly. That is the perfect example of what I mean.

But often I get the feeling fans intentionally react the opposite of what WWE wants

She was stale TO YOU. TO YOU. Everyone else missed her on TV for weeks at a time. We were fine with her as a corny face. Almost everyone else here liked her comeback story. Then the second Charley returned, it was obvious what was gonna happen.

The Mean Gene interview spot!

It was alot more than me, but keep telling yourself that.

 

[Jussi]

The crowd turned heel!

 

[GarbageGoal]

Whoa, that woman is crazy.

I LOVE YOU SAMOA!!!!!

 

[GKJ]

Samoa Joe is the best person in the company

 

[SeidoN]

It was alot more than me, but keep telling yourself that.

inventing narratives to shit on the fans is an interesting gimmick

 

[Jussi]

It was alot more than me, but keep telling yourself that.

It really wasn't.

According to your logic, Flames fans should boo them at home so the players would want to win more.

They must have been pumping in all those cheers for her.

Agree on the Philly crowd, but I don't think it applies this weekend. I do think WWE shouldn't just always do what fans want, but people have soured on Charlotte since WrestleMania. And even in kayfabe, her being in the match on Sunday was bull.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

That girl screaming is way too intense

 

[Emperoreddy]

There might have been a point when a Becky heel turn made sense when she was really lost and regulated to the back of the line.

That time has passed though. She has only been getting more and more over in recent months, and it doesn’t make sense to try and derail that.

 

[These Are The Days]

I'm glad I gave the last half hour of SDL a chance tonight. That was nice

 

[Lunatik]

Comparing real sports to scirpted fighting, where being an excellent bad guy is just as important and a great good guy. Brilliant.

It's more like getting behind a movie where an actor plays an antogonist ratjer than a protagonist.

No it isn't. They just want it to make sense, like it does just about everywhere else.
