I feel SD is miles better than Raw at the moment...

I disagree entirely, Raw has won pretty much every week since the shake up. This is probably Smackdowns first good episode since then.

Smackdown used to be better but it's been way worse than raw recently (from the little I've seen)

it was nice to meet you. You can't see me. Hit the trumpets.

I suppose I was talking over pretty much the time since I have been watching semi regularly again, which is from Jan. But I guess the Orton-Jinder neud did turn off a number of fans.

Since I've started watching again (March) both shows have been mostly awful aside from isolated segments here and there.

 

[Dan]

Lends credibility to the Battleground finish being a ****-up, I suppose. I was very confused at the time.

 

[Athlai]

I think KO was probably winning but the finish was early.

G1 is a grind to watch, can't imagine how much of a grind it is to wrestle in haha.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I'm surprised that ZSJ went over Fale.

 

[Spikey]

This was probably the worst show, although I was tired before I even started watching. The crowd seemed dead bar their love for Ibushi and Tana (thank god Shinsukeeeee wasn't there)

Tomorrow's an important day, the Elgin/Omega rivalry continues, and Okada/Kojima. Kojima is a loveable old guy who Okada has been a dick to lately and it seems weird to do that just for Okada to beat him easily on the first match on the card. One to keep an eye out for I think.

 

[Athlai]

I think I'll just keep watching the highlights until the last two nights. Okada/Omega III is simply a can't miss event and I bet group A is going to have pretty much half the pack still potentially going on.

Still reckon Okada/Omega are going undefeated, Omega/Elgin is the last real hurdle for that to be genuinely likely

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Naito gonna win the whole thing IMO

 

[Athlai]

Just noticed it was Yano vs. SANADA as well, I can't even fathom what that will look like.

In fact everyone matches up pretty incredibly tonight. Juice and Tonga will both be doing their best to leave an impression, EVIL vs. Suzuki should be brutal and then there's the top of the card.

I really wish WWE had an equivalent to this

 

[Spikey]

Juice somehow getting over and having better matches than he ever did in NXT or would have had in WWE is already pretty funny, but now he's a knee selling guy too, and making it work. WAG

 

[Athlai]

That was exactly what I wanted it to be

Yeah it's amazing how consistently he gets the Japanese crowd behind him
