Man Bo Dallas has been hitting the buffet!

 

[Dr. Evil]

So we've seen Goldberg return and Mickie James is coming back at Takeover: Toronto. Any chance that in 2017 we hear "You Suck" chants?

I wonder if people complaining about the crowd "hijacking" the women's segment, even know about how UK crowds are? I mean I'm not even from the UK, but I've scene enough on TV to now that, that's what they do. They're passionate and they have a tendency to chant/sing along to the people that they like and REALLY boo the one's that they don't (sorry Roman). They do this with pretty much every sport.

Oh and they also did it WITH BAYLEY even when she was in NXT, in-fact, I think that it was the exact same chant even. And make no mistake, they WERE chanting for her (I've already heard numerous people who were there confirm this) and they really loved Sasha as well.

Billy Gunn is going to be apart of NJPW world tag league.

If it doesn't happen next year I don't think it's going to happen at all. Kurt is finally clean, he resting his body, and TNA might not be around much longer. If they wait any longer Kurt wont be able to do anything in the ring.

Plus WWE needs big names for their Hall of Fame.

Oh I wasn't complaining about it. I found it funny Charlotte couldn't get back on point for her promo. Her dad woulda had that crowd eating out of his hand in 3 seconds. She kept flubbing her lines.

They obviously loved Bailey last night in Scotland, and I'm cool with that.

** SPOILERS ** WWE SmackDown Tapings From Glasgow

Spoiler

Thanks to Rory for the following WWE SmackDown spoilers from today's tapings in Glasgow, Scotland:



* Team SmackDown kicks off the show with Shane McMahon, Baron Corbin, Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and WWE World Champion AJ Styles. James Ellsworth is also there for a pop. He's announced as the SmackDown mascot for Survivor Series. Shane makes Wyatt, Harper and Orton vs. Ellsworth, Ambrose and Corbin for tonight

* Naomi defeated Natalya with Nikki Bella on commentary. The finish saw Naomi roll Natalya up after Carmella came down and argued with Nikki at ringside


* Backstage with Ambrose and Ellsworth. Baron Corbin has informed Shane he's not working tonight's main event. Shane makes Corbin vs. Kalisto and puts Kane in the main event.


* Corbin vs. Kalisto never starts as Corbin attacks before the bell. Corbin falls from the apron and clutched his knee, leading to Kalisto working the knee over to end the segment. Referees checked on Corbin


* There was a big promo for tonight's Women's Title Match.


* Daniel Bryan and Shane are backstage. Corbin suffered an injury and is off Survivor Series. His replacement will be announced later


* SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch retained over Alexa Bliss by submission. There was some controversy as Alexa's feet were on the ropes


* Kalisto vs. The Brian Kendrick for the Cruiserweight Title is announced for Survivor Series. If Kalisto wins, the cruiserweight division leaves RAW and comes to SmackDown


* Curt Hawkins defeated Apollo Crews with a handful of tights


* Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Randy Orton defeated Dean Ambrose, Kane and James Ellsworth when Wyatt hit Sister Abigail on Ellsworth


* We go to Shane and Bryan backstage. Shane reveals he will be the final member of Team SmackDown, replacing Baron Corbin. SmackDown ends

Remember when Joey Styles knocked out JBL.

-So Rich Swann pins Brian Kendrick TWICE, and Kalisto is the one who gets the title shot?

-Not a fan of the Dusty finish to the Becky/Alexa match. Before tonight, Becky hadn't gotten a single win since becoming champion, and now this one is tainted even. But it did get me thinking. So the next SDL PPV is TLC right? I'm wondering if they might be setting up for something big there with the Becky/Alexa stuff. A ladder match for the title perhaps?

-Shane is the fifth member of SDL, seriously? Look I like Shane, but this is ridiculous.

 

[Lobo]

Yes. Wish there was video of it. At least I can always watch Bart Gunn do it.

How Did You Get The Wrestling Thread Through Customs?

 

[Dr. Evil]

This is stupid......

SmackDown LIVE has a new addition to its announce team: Tom Phillips. The announcer joins play-by-play commentators Mauro Ranallo and David Otunga, and color commentator JBL, giving Team Blue a four-man booth every Tuesday night at 8/7 C on USA Network.
Phillips made his WWE debut in 2012 on NXT, where he announced NXT ArRIVAL, WWE Network's first live, in-ring broadcast.

Fear not, NXT Universe, in addition to joining SmackDown LIVE, Phillips will still call the action on WWE NXT every week.

 

[SpideyVille]

They may slowly be trying to phase out either JBL or Otunga.

 

[NDX]

That's 2 matches I'll be skipping now at Survivor Series.

 

[SpideyVille]

I really surprised the Miz wasn't named as the final member. Not going to lie, but he kinda deserves it.

 

[Broseph44]

Still happy to see Shane be the final guy

The Wrestling Thread Has A Chalkline Around It

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Going to Smackdown Nov 29th and I guess I'm seeing the first 205 Live that night, too.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Sigh....more James Ellsworth.

Also.....Steve Corino:

So the shorter the show, the larger announce team it needs, I guess.

Yeah, I mean I miss the days where a heel could just be a heel. Making Becky look fortunate, in her first big defence since winning the match in a 6 pack challenge, only served to make her weak.

There were so many other ways to make Alexa strong in defeat but the finish they went with did neither woman any good for me.

Perhaps there's an element of truth to a certain someone not thinking a whole lot of Becky and Alexa is being positioned to win the feud.
