Let's talk about how Smackdown went from good to great right after the brand split to being just ok after Wrestlemania.
we all said they would sabotage Smack if it kept outshining RAM and it appears to have happened. IMO losing Mauro made the show a lot less exciting. What else went wrong?
Jinder needs to lose tmmw night. Also they have no one interesting to take his place.

Jinder needs to win and then get cashed in on
>>2765894
jinder gets a great heat when he does his "you're all full of hate" segments, he could've been a decent champion
Ratings are receding quicker than Ambrose hairline

Smackdown was never great. Stop this meme. It was slightly above average at times and got overrated because RAM is WOAT.
Because once again vince took the bit player pieces so he had stuff to feed to roman/brock. Cena's absence also hurts because like it or not Cena is indeed a draw.
Smackdown is designed to be the B-show and any time it starts looking like the real flagship daddy vince comes in to ruin it. Not because he's trying to hurt his company per se, but because he is too focused on his own vision for the brands.

Randy Orton

Kevin Owens needs to feud with Orton, Jinder needs to win the United states title

Jinder needed more time to transform from a jobber to a champ.
But WWE writing is shit and they realized an indian champ would draw ruppees on tour
Jinder champ
Nakameme ruined
I stopped watching both Raw and SD:

I agree in the sense of many fans overrating Smack because of how bad RAM was/is, but IMO Smack did have some legitimately great moments. Like AJ Styles 450 splash through the table at TLC
Yfw you just spent a good half an hour thinking about how good smackdown was from after summerslam all the way til the Rumble

SmackdownLive was never great but it was at least watchable to good in 2016.
Losing Mauro has been HUGE. Easily the best play-by-play they had since prime JR. Also, I can't confirm, but they had to have lost their headwriter. It's either that or Vince is dictating more of the direction the show should go.
Speaking of which, isn't Road Dogg supposed to by the boss on SmackdownLive? What's his job title?

WithSpandex claims he's as high as you can go without his last name being mcmahon. Too lazy to link but Google it. They're pretty reliable

>Smackdown was doing better week by week
>Vince doesn't like that
>Takes nearly all of SDLs good guys and puts all of Raw's memers on SDL
>Leave SDL with no main event heels after taking Wyatt
>Have to build Big Poopa Poo in like 3 weeks for their PPV to make sense
>Have to build up Breezango in like 3 weeks for their PPV to make sense
>Gut the women's division and put everyone in a lower card feud while Naomi has no rivalry
>Various SDL fan favorites off TV for weeks (Tye, Luke Harper, Big Red, American Alpha, Zack Ryder, Nakamura, Mojo Rawley, etc) while hyping up Raw memer's like New Day
Basically, after the Superstar Shakeup, Raw got slightly better for a few weeks while SDL got much, much, MUCH worse

Jinder and Owens should swap titles 2bh. Jinder needs the midcard experience.
Owens looks like he could get an interesting feud out of a face Orton. Orton can't do shit with Jinder.

but anon, this is perfectly reasonable. you should know you should not expect the E' to be reasonable.

Yep. Not even AJ's antics can fix this shit
>>2766418
It is hard mind when he is in a match with 5 other people, when he gets back into a good solo fued he will get more enjoyable to watch again.
>>2766399
This.
Jinder is already doing all these 'America is ignorant' promos, so it would make more sense.
