Mauro Ranallo is great on commentary but my god he can be irritating

He's good if he has Luigi on colour with him.

CastorTroy · 17-08-2020 9:40pm

They had him before but he was a bit too green.

Mauro sometimes gives the others an opening by directing a question or comment towards them. Though was one point last week where he started by addressing Beth but then he wouldn't shut up to let her give any input

beakerjoe · 17-08-2020 11:21pm

Love or hate Mauro, he has one thing at least.... a voice thats not generic.

God what Vince sees in the like of Tom Phillips Ill never no blandy mcbland

sky88 · 17-08-2020 11:52pm

Oddly I preferred Mauro on main roster which is rare for any commentators

WWE missed a trick by not premiering the WWE "THUNDERDOME" at Summerslam instead of Smackdown.

Shows just how important TV ratings are to them at the moment.

beakerjoe · 18-08-2020 4:39pm

I agree. TV ratings are in the toliet and Id say theres more pressure from Fox execs

PTH2009 · 19-08-2020 1:55am

Looking back this is mental and only a few years removed from when we got super john who loved helping charity's

Anyone else think she's channeling the late great Owen Hart in this gear?

J. Marston · 19-08-2020 2:43pm

I think she's channelling a default CAW template from the old Smackdown games.

I would. Little mark on her left elbow.

4/10. Joking, obviously.

CastorTroy · 19-08-2020 3:37pm

What michael cole has is spreading I see. I mean she's hasn't changed that much. She's cut her hair.

Had a funny and random thought today about the idea of a wrestler dressing up as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man as a comedy gimmick. The way it would work is that he would cause mayhem and attack people at random, run interference during matches and basically act a little bit like Mr Blobby. The costume would also make him immune to physical damage so he would basically no sell every move used against him. His standard finisher would be a diving body splash off the top rope and signature moves would be a body avalanche and the Axe bomber.

I know it's a stupid idea and I don't know why I started thinking of that but it's just a random thought I had.

Cocaine, it's a hell of a drug. Just be happy you didn't put that into your family WhatsApp group.

Five years ago tonight nxt Brooklyn happened and we got that amazing match between Sasha banks and bayley.

WWE2K video games actually look and feel more real than the actual real wrestling with the video screen backdrops and fake crowd sounds of ThunderDome.

J. Marston · 24-08-2020 1:59pm

Finn has some...unique...tattoos.

Asuka getting paid that noodle money...

CastorTroy · 24-08-2020 2:23pm

Yeah, that's how you get your champion to be taken seriously as soon as she wins the title.

Wait till they get Keith Lee to do a glitch gimmick where he just keeps walking into the turnbuckle when he gets called up.

It’s just Lee now.

So after last night Sasha banks is now 0-5 in singles title defences in over five years on the main roster. She unlike Charlotte, Becky, and bayley hasn’t won a match at Wrestlemania and hasn’t won money in the bank. Charlotte and becky have won the royal rumble. Only for the tag titles Sasha would have no successful title defences full stop.

You’d wonder why this is the case and how even bayley and Becky have far passed her when Sasha was far ahead in nxt.

They don't see her as the star that a vocal minority on the internet do. The only reason her and Bayley are in the spot they're in now is because the first teamers, Becky and Charlotte, are out.

I would of said Sasha will win at Mania next year, but that's an assumption based on her being in the Title picture.

The way things are right now I'd imagine it'll be any of Charlotte, Ronda, Baszler or Jax. Looks like Asuka is getting her due now before dropping pre Mania season. For a company that has the women's roster that they have, that's pretty appalling.

Have to say I haven't thought much of Sasha and Bayley's run but I don't think you can name anyone in WWE that has had a good run since the pandemic. Maybe Drew at a stretch. It's an awful gimmick they've been landed with.
