WWE SmackDown Weekly Thread

Where does this work get put in? Seems to me it’s mostly positive vibes in this thread. The stuff that’s downright shit gets called out (Womens Title Exchange), beyond that it’s mostly people saying how good Roman is.

SmackDown is easily the most watchable show of the week.

It’s definitely out there. It’s refreshing to hear you say that though. I think there is a wider consensus that Roman is the best thing in wrestling, but you’ll find places where the narrative is still that Roman Reigns is a bust, can’t wrestle, is pushed too hard, etc.

Here’s the thing that frustrates me; it may be out there, but it’s not here - or at least not with the same volume as it is elsewhere - but you act like it is. It’s like going to a nightclub where everybody is a pretentious prick then going to a pub where most people are not pretentious pricks but treating them like they are. You project sentiments from elsewhere on to the folks here a lot. Don’t get me wrong, there are some poor takes, but it sometimes feels like “gas-lighting” where I have to go back and check what’s actually been said in the thread

Eh, it’s pretty bad here, dude, lol. Although I would like to state that I don’t think it’s ever been my intention to imply it is any worse or better here. I’ve always spoken pretty generally on it.

To me it’s more like leaving a club of pretentious pricks, going to another club full of potential pricks, saying “there are some pretentious pricks out there” and the pretentious pricks there getting upset and saying “Not us!” Well, I didn’t say it was you. But it totally is them too.

But oh well. Sorry you feel I’m projecting. I don’t think I’ve ever spoken specifically to it, even though I wouldn’t disagree with the suggestion that it is more rampant here than you are giving it credit for.
