WWE Smackdowns

I wonder why Impact got 15 new pages on Thursday, but Smackdown only got 3 on Friday.

Generally speaking, I think internet wrestling fans are more critical of TNA than WWE. And generally speaking, internet fans spend more time complaining about things they didn't like than spending time discussing things they did.

Friday's my going out drinking night. Thursday is a sit at home night.

True. Same goes to comics. Comic Fanboys would rather complain about something they dont like instead of praising something they do like

I didn't see Impact, but Smackdown was really boring, and like 5 of us read spoilers and commented before watching the show.

and raw gets many pages so the complaining about theory doesnt fit

Smackdown this week will get more posts, its live so no spoilers, and it is cross promotion so we will get matches we don't see often.
And probably no bad matches, except for im sure there will be a divas match, no Khali though i bet.

On RAW they actually get to complain a lot about Cena though.

I think the thing people are most complaining about on Smackdown is probably Kelly Kelly.... and like or dislike her, people probably don't care enough about her to go 14 pages.

Smackdown is on at 5PM in some markets. That doesn't help I figure.

I'd say more promos. And not goofy "let's get the crowd to dance" or Hornswoggle skits. Something like Lay-Cool back in the day. They were my favorite divas for quite a while just because of their personalities (they could also put on a great match from time to time). A lot of Divas are really lacking in the personality department.

Precisely

Even before that, Trish's promo ability was a significant factor in her rising above in her era. Which in turn helped drive the division to it's best era ever imo.

It doesn't even matter that much overall if some can wrestle when no one but workrate smarks cares. You have to give the audience at large a reason to connect with their characters and want to see them kayfabe succeed or fail. Effective promos can be a way to do that.

Haven't seen a lot of Cena complaining on these boards in a while, not enough to fill pages.

Trish could wrestle though, and if you want to say wrestling doesn't matter, Trish promos didn't help, Trish showing her tits and ass on every episode helped.
A lot of people don't care about average workers, but when someone is outright bad, like kelly, even the least smarky fans know they suck.

I don't know if you noticed, but when everything was all under one thread, Smackdown would usually only have a handful of comments tops. Literally no one is watching Smackdown and commenting as it goes along, unlike Impact and Raw. It's been like that forever. It's just obvious now that SD has it's own thread.

[marshal99]

Say what you will, but its impressive to see that picked up. I still think the AA to Big Show with Edge on top was impressive also

For me , it would be Johnny Stamboli picking up 6 feet 9 Nathan Jones and gorilla pressing him on top of his head. He also picked up Rikishi.

It is more impressive because Stamboli isn't really build like a bodybuilder and he isn't that tall or have bulging muscles but damn , he is strong for his size.

If that were totaly true, Smackdown, which was a lot of shit, would have got 20 pages, and Raw, which was good, would have got 3.

Trish could wrestle though,

Not at first she couldn't. But even starting out she was more useful than the Major Gunns types of the biz.

if you want to say wrestling doesn't matter,

So you wouldn't agree that having an interesting persona or cutting fun or story advancing promos would make any difference or serve a purpose?

Trish promos didn't help,

I wouldn't say that. I'm not saying T & A doesn't matter. Doing T & A doesn't inherently preclude everything else from mattering too. And she maintained superior overness to workers that were as good/better in the ring than her even as the years went on and she covered up more.

A lot of people don't care about average workers, but when someone is outright bad, like kelly, even the least smarky fans know they suck.

That's an argument for another person. I'm not defending Kelly.

[lboinyamouf4sho]

Yes, until this match i didn't realize Zeke was strong, and him being strong makes him good.
That was all sarcasm.

just can't give credit for an awesome spot. besides we all know it's not strength that makes somebody good, it how many moves they do.

Kelly is suppose to lose because she is shit and she has the title, because it hurts my eyes to watch her in the ring.

i people would just say that from the beginning instead of making shit up about the yankees/cena and what ever

people like to bitch.
