I miss the days when you had tag teams good vs bad, great stable, great storyline not just the main story but mid card storyline, wacky wrestlers, great managers. A show that makes you want to come back for more like the 80's and 90's did.
BC to add to what you were saying about the presentation. One thing I don’t like about the new regime is how they open there shows. No opening intro (apart from tonight), no pyro. Instead they show a handful of superstars arriving to the arena with the crowd going mild. Man do I miss the days where we had a good opening intro, pyro blasting, fans going nuts and JR going ham on commentary welcoming us to MONDAY NIGHT RAW. That stuff got us all pumped for the show.
Cody and Roman teaming up makes zero sense at all, Triple H's lack of direction and lack of creativity has to end Roman Reigns vs Solo Sikoa was right there and so was Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes yet again since Cody said he's done with the Bloodline
I just read an article that WWE is not going to renew w def rebel the ones making their current music. WWE is looking at working with big names artists now.
So let's dig deeper into Hunter's plan for the WWE Women's title and the possible outcomes.... If Bayley pins Nia -> Bayley gets her rematch for the title If Naomi pins Nia -> Naomi gets a title shot If Bayley pins Tiffy -> Bayley gets her rematch? If Naomi pins Tiffy -> Naomi gets a title shot? If Nia pins Bayley -> no rematch and no title match at all, Bayley leaves SmackDown If Nia pins Naomi -> no title shot and no rematch, Naomi leave SmackDown If Tiffy pins Bayley -> Bayley leaves SmackDown, Naomi gets a title shot maybe? Or Nia just won't defend the title at all? If Tiffy pins Naomi -> Naomi leaves SmackDown, Bayley gets her rematch maybe? If Tiffy cashes in her briefcase during the match, it becomes a fatal 4 way? And she can pin any of them to get the belt? If Tiffy cashes in her briefcase after the match, she can pin Nia to get the belt? How the hell does Hunter come up with this crap???????
Should’ve just sticked with Cody vs heel Kevin and Roman vs solo so that he can finally be get his hands on solo one on one inside a steel cage. If they want Cody involve in it ok fine but after Roman Beats Solo, then the bloodline comes in along side Jimmy and Jey uso with Sami Zayn or Hikelo to set up survivor series.
I’m to the point now to whenever I see solo and Cody on the same show I have a headache because I’m so tired of seeing these to Fight each other when solo has lost so many damn matches and How many losses solo is at now 45 or something And I don’t hate Cody I just wish they Stop with the rematch after rematch and to give us a story That we all can enjoy and also here’s another question why in the span of two months or three why have the wyatt sicks not been on a damn pay-per-view
BC I couldn’t agree more, much love and respect for Megan thee stallion as I love hip hop R&B but as a wrestling show just didn’t fit. Besides that I was completely lost when Cody teamed up with Roman reigns after he specifically said that he has NO BUSINESS with the bloodline cause that’s Roman’s problem but triple h didn’t get the memo unfortunately 😂. See this is why if they just had Kevin Owens turned HEEL at bash in Berlin roman would’ve faced solo sikoa face to face at bad blood instead of a dumb tag team just like Wrestlemania when they had Seth Rollins involved lol😂😂
I just watched the opening and yes you are right it is TOTAL TRASH!!!!!!! I couldnt believe what I was seeing!!!!! I'm an older guy myself so I remember Raw back in even 1993 and yes the openeings back then were SO much better!!!!
That new SmackDown theme song set the tone for the rest of the night going forward. Megan The Stallion isn't even all that good at all. We Own It by 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa would've been the perfect WWE theme song.
Smackdown just isn't going to improve seen pretty much every match possible. The Brand Split needs to end as WWE has no chance of succeeding with one & that's been a trend whenever a brand split is introduced.
I guess it comes to show it don’t matter who books the shows, whether it be hhh or Vince, there’s always higher ups/maybe tv executives are in the ears of creative to give the green light or they add a little something for their network.
If you look closely at the end of the match with Trinity and Bailey, as Trinity was shaking her ass at Nia and Tiff, Bailey looked like she was going to smack Trinity's ass, but she stopped herself. lol
What Up BC! Everything you said I agree with! Just like I said last night the intro music is absolute garbage and a horrible choice for wrestling....Why couldn't they have at least used the Rough Riders Anthem from DMX or anything other than what was picked. SD is in trouble. The cage match was ok and the fact we had to sit through more rematches I honestly found myself changing the channel a few times. I totally feel bad for the ladies....I don't know what Hunter is thinking I think they should bring back Stephanie McMahon because even though it isn't talked about I think she had a LOT to do with the ladies when she was there....Now they just wonder around looking pretty and nothing else....SAD....great review/vid and as always Keep On Rockin' BC!
Well im hearing Triple H will be done with Rebel whatever their name but soon after that I think we will get a great intro song even for the wrestlers hopefully even with netflix that has to get better when Raw moves over there.
Unfortunately I'm pretty much priced out to going to Survivor Series! I'm not paying $300 plus Canadian for a nosebleed seat unless that price drops signifantly!
if naomi or bayley pin nia or tiff next week, the number 1 contender is the one who gets the win for the team but if nia/tiff win , the person they pin is the one going to raw, so either naomi or bayley go to raw BUT i think its just a swerve cause i feel like naomi and bayley will both pin tiff thus its a triple threat or the faces win by countout thus logically both get added to the match
TNA’s Victory Road kicked SmacDown’s ass last night. Hendry tapping out Josh Alexander and Moose Vs. Nick Nemeth stole the show. Last nights show was a gigantic let down, the steel cage match was absolutely uneventful. Plus not only did Cody initially say that he wanted nothing to do with the bloodline, but then he agrees to join Roman a few minutes later, not only does Cody look like a complete wuss, but now he’s a indecisive wuss! The only way that this could have been rectified would have been to have Cody wait awhile to change his mind…but wait….THATS A HEEL MOVE!! Papa H is cooking alright…he’s cooking jailhouse slop!
Best theme for RAW was back to RAW is WAR ... Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson. I'm not a big hard rock fan UNLESS i'm at or watching wrestling. SD Live i never had a favorite theme. But BC Megan THEE Stallion is a major rap star. She has also featured on many other big names in the world of rap for reference go and listen to Cardi B's WAP. Megan features on that. She has also played at rallies for Kamala Harris.
Here’s an idea for the theme song for smackdown…..The Seinfeld theme song!!! The song from a show about nothing being the theme song for a show THAT DOES NOTHING!!!…lol!
I have been watch WWF/WWE since 1987. In the opening theme songs for both Raw and Smackdown, rap music has no place. It should always be rock or metal especially now that the shows are on cable. Not everyone likes rap music. I thought with Hunter taking over, we would get a little bit of old school wrestling back with Vince out and Hunter at the helm. It's like Hunter forgot how wrestling was back in his day when he wrestled with Shawn and Degeneration X. You can get away now with more stuff now that it's on cable. What's wrong with this guy? Come on Hunter!!! Get Raw!!!
New Season Same Mid-AF SmackDown episode with the same boring set-up and a theme song which clearly shows the lack of excitement for these shows, wouldn't be surprised if they end up with a low rating.
Hhh clearly don’t believe in Cody Roman doesn’t need Cody help you literally have Jimmy you have jey it’s bloodline business bruh don’t nobody wanna see Cody shit I would take Sami instead of Cody
Ohh and even the very first ever smackdown theme was bad ass wasn't much to it but it just was awsome ac/DC Maryland Manson beautiful people and so many other bad ass themes this was a train wreck
WWE has no reason to put any effort anymore. We're going back to 2018 Era soon enough. I wonder what happened that year amd the year after that made them get their act toghether. Something their current champion did that forced them to finally listen to the fans for once........
No disrespect to Megan Stallone I like a few of her music & really not a fan of her but when I heard that theme song of Megan on the into of Friday Night SD & the logo of it & sets & everything looks the same to me I wasn't feeling it at all what's so ever.
Yup exactly bc my god like what was this the theme song is fucking terrible I love the new logo that's the cool part I was like after the show ended I was like wow should of just stayed on fox wtf did we get notice how they were just trying to milk time with nothing of importance awful and they want this to go to 3 hours why wasn't didn't ya get ya sessions from raw wtf
Honestly it didn't make sense to me, the Rock should come back and team up with Roman because this is bloodline business and honestly it would of make sense him coming back since smackdown was name because of him, idk what happened there but cody and roman doesn't do it for me just my opinion
I said the same thing! The Smackdown Can you Smell version of the Rock persona would have been great for show! Could have been a comedic event with other Legends! Could have brought out Coachman, etc. and relive some historical Smackdown moments!
I knew when i heard HHH hyping up the show it was going to be mid. No interest in seeing Cody and Roman tagging. Cody needs a feud away from the bloodline. This is getting very boring
I see Cody turning herl on Roman at Bad Blood or just walk away from the match to leave Roman fight Jacob and Solo alone. Edit: on NXT Black and Gold Hunter used to book the ladies sometimes better tgan be did the men. I'll never forget that TakeOver Brooklyn with Bayley vs Sasha Banks for the NXT Women's title. The main evented and i believe it was an iron wo en watch. I don't understand why HHH is acting like Vince and Joe Biden with his brains leaking out his ears. I love Trips but I can't give him a pass on this bullshit. Chelsea's match agajnst Guilia was better than anything on the main roster for the women this week. Looks like Shawn Michaels and his crew can book their ladies PLUS having the touches from the TNA partnership make sense when they are on the show. You know i was just thinking the other day about bra and panty matches. I was wondering how many other women other than myself would stay in front of the tv or pay to see a show eith the possibility of a match like that on the card? In 2024 who knows i had to snap myself back to reality to remind myself how hard they ALL worked to get away from stuff like that.

WWE must be in school, 6 months to plan but wait till the last minute and hope to get it in at 11:59pm
There is no effort anymore in WWE, hasn’t been for a very long time.
They do the absolute bare minimum on everything.
Bc no one does a review like you bud much love n support🤘🏻
BC to add to what you were saying about the presentation. One thing I don’t like about the new regime is how they open there shows. No opening intro (apart from tonight), no pyro. Instead they show a handful of superstars arriving to the arena with the crowd going mild.

I agree with you
Don't criticise hhh or streamers like JD will tell you you're clueless
All wrestling companies need to do better with their stages. Just the same set on each show even PPV's isn't acceptable..

If Tiffy cashes in her briefcase after the match, she can pin Nia to get the belt?
How the hell does Hunter come up with this crap???????
It just keeps getting confusing to the fans lol😂
I have been waiting for this review. Can't wait to hear his take on that nonsense with adding Cody to Roman's business.
It seriously didn’t need to be happen. I thought Jimmy was cleared surely he could’ve been Roman’s partner
If Solo & Jacob Fatu don't beat Roman & Cody at Bad Blood, the new Bloodline is buried!
Should’ve just sticked with Cody vs heel Kevin and Roman vs solo so that he can finally be get his hands on solo one on one inside a steel cage. If they want Cody involve in it ok fine but after Roman Beats Solo, then the bloodline comes in along side Jimmy and Jey uso with Sami Zayn or Hikelo to set up survivor series.
Roman aren't losing his first match back, yes, it's a tag team but a match, nonetheless.
I’m to the point now to whenever I see solo and Cody on the same show I have a headache because I’m so tired of seeing these to Fight each other when solo has lost so many damn matches and How many losses solo is at now 45 or something And I don’t hate Cody I just wish they Stop with the rematch after rematch and to give us a story That we all can enjoy and also here’s another question why in the span of two months or three why have the wyatt sicks not been on a damn pay-per-view
Only Roman reigns is the reason i follow smackdown.
Bring back the smackdown Fist stage For Fuck Sakes
I think they waiting for the netflix era to change the look of Raw than Smackdown the same week.
Thank you BC, have an excellent day!
It's gonna take more than a cage match at the start of a show, to get me any less interested in SmackDown debuting on the USA Network/// ☕⚡🔋
BC I couldn’t agree more, much love and respect for Megan thee stallion as I love hip hop R&B but as a wrestling show just didn’t fit. Besides that I was completely lost when Cody teamed up with Roman reigns after he specifically said that he has NO BUSINESS with the bloodline cause that’s Roman’s problem but triple h didn’t get the memo unfortunately 😂.

Rap music is NOT amplified enough. WWE is enamored with rap. A wrestling show's theme song needs to be hard rock!
I remember burn to the ground across the nation thorn in your eye just wanna be loved by papa roach the beautiful people we used have great themes
For these prices just go to a nfl game
I grow up with raw underground and smackdownn, Marilyn Manson
Smackdown just isn't going to improve seen pretty much every match possible. The Brand Split needs to end as WWE has no chance of succeeding with one & that's been a trend whenever a brand split is introduced.

Thanks!
Well im hearing Triple H will be done with Rebel whatever their name but soon after that I think we will get a great intro song even for the wrestlers hopefully even with netflix that has to get better when Raw moves over there.
Can they co-exist?
We will find out on the next episode of dragon ball z
Just like Becky Lynch and Charlotte flair 😂
Lol
Unfortunately I'm pretty much priced out to going to Survivor Series! I'm not paying $300 plus Canadian for a nosebleed seat unless that price drops signifantly!

Papa H is cooking alright…he’s cooking jailhouse slop!
TKO is going to bleed WWE dry and sell it
TKO .WELL. NOT SELL THE WWE
To who tony lmao?
HHHs Are you ready? Is his equivalent to VKMs Welcome to (Insert show name) originally Monday night Raw, but he's done it for SD as well.
Best theme for RAW was back to RAW is WAR ... Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson. I'm not a big hard rock fan UNLESS i'm at or watching wrestling. SD Live i never had a favorite theme.

What if it's Bayley so she can reunite to damage control
Good afternoon everyone hope you are having a good day. Greetings from ohio. I agree totally with you.
Good afternoon from Kentucky
Kendrick Lamars Not Like Us wouldve been more hype lol
Nah that intro song was garbage 🗑️

It was shamus and cesaro lead to them forming the bar
If you wanna put hip hop rap music use some old schools like DMX, Dr Dre, or Tech N9ne to hype up the crowd
Hhh clearly don’t believe in Cody Roman doesn’t need Cody help you literally have Jimmy you have jey it’s bloodline business bruh don’t nobody wanna see Cody shit I would take Sami instead of Cody

Cody has no juice on his own as world champion.

Romans new theme is trash definitely need to go back to the old one
Triple H's creativity is gone.
I’m gonna listen to this song from Megan thee Stallion to see if it’s that bad yall😂
SmackDown is just boring at the moment, specially with Roman coming back is just terrible… sticking with Raw for now.
I agree with you bc
I knew when i heard HHH hyping up the show it was going to be mid. No interest in seeing Cody and Roman tagging. Cody needs a feud away from the bloodline. This is getting very boring
Another heaping bowlful of crap stew for the little Timmy and Jerry's.

Cody teaming with Roman imma assume it’s the seed planting for the rock to return and attack Roman for teaming up with the Cody cry baby 😂
Smackdown has lost 1 Million viewers in a year.....
Roman and Cody nope
Very poor show!
First 😊
Wrestling is dead
MEGAN THE STALLION FINISHED 4TH IN THE KENTUCKY DERBY BACK IN 2009, I THINK
Second 😏
