I think we need to establish the G.O.D as characters. I mean this in the same way that the Uso's weren't just Roman's Lackeys, they cut promos and we sort of knew what vibe they had. They hung out outside his Locker Room, they were the Bloodline but we also knew them to have personality traits. Jey didn't like Sami, Jimmy did. They had opinions. It's hard to really see the G.O.D in the same way atm. I think it's okay for Jacob to be this die hard loyalist psycho but you could establish the G.O.D better. Oh. And bring in their Tag Team music.
Thats probably the Mania match. No other bigger match they could setup besides another rematch with Roman or a match with Rock. None of the latter two is happening. So its definitely Orton.
@@andreholly2027 Its definitely Roman-Rock at Mania. Thats literally what the Rock been wanting from the very beginning. To 'pass the torch' officially and he want it to be Roman. Last year was a giant pivot because of the negative crowd reaction. Now they have the right crowd reaction, they are going through with the match. The Rock is not getting any younger and less busy. Cody is holding that title past Mania because he ended Roman's historic title reign. As it stands, it makes sense in kayfabe that soon the people closest to Cody is questioning his title reign legitimacy (also they got beat up constantly by the new Bloodline) and will betray him. Roman's and Rock's main issue currently is with each other. Roman don't like the new bloodline and Rock thinks Roman is doo doo for losing the title.
I kinda feel like you guys are being overly critical of Smackdown for the past month or so. It feels like many ppl have associated Smackdown with Bloodline and nothing else will be compelling for some ppl.
at this point, Kevin Owens is going to be conflicted during the title match, and then because he can't just commit to being Face or Heel, he loses, and _that_ makes him snap and go Heel again.
As someone who was in the arena, the last Smackdown had everyone excited and hoping to see something wild. That happened in Orlando last week but people were still expecting something. I enjoyed every bit, especially the pop Street Profits got.
I’d like to see KO turn heel in the actual match itself. Have him keep his composure up until he feels another championship slipping away from him. Then flip a switch and go full prizefighter and power bomb Cody on the ring apron a few times
And as far as KO goes, I’m likely in the minority here but I have ZERO interest in a KO heel turn. Save the big heel turn for Orton turning on Cody whenever that feud happens (hopefully soon)
You kinda book yourself in the corner with the Big 3 cause the only people who rivaled them was Prime Damage CTRL who moved to Raw. Those are 3 women you can build a whole division around but are trapped being an avenger level team with no avenger level threats. If they win in Berlin their only credible threats are in Raw anyway.
Not sure why Randy & KO aren't friend feuding into one of them heel turning for No. 1 Contendership for Cody's title. Like if they did this same concept, where Cody wants to reward his "friends" but they have to decide between the 2 of them who is gonna get the opportunity, that would be more compelling reason for one of them to shift heel for greed than what they are doing now by shunting Randy to RAW.
I’ll take a bad smack down over a bad raw any day of the fucking week when SmackDown was good raw was on watchable. If they can’t figure out how to make both shows good I would rather the two hour show be the bad one then the three hours sl Murder og every Monday.
#ASKPAUL. Why don’t you have Factions interact with each other more? Like have a clash backstage in catering “for taking my seat”. Or eating the “last steak/pie”. Could create for conflict.
#callpaul Who said a prize fighter is a heel? Kevin Owens turning the “KO” shirt into an iconic shirt like the “3:16” shirt of this era just seems right ✊🏽
I feel like Cody needing to defend at every PLE and so much over seas travel since mania there hasn’t been more than 3/4 weeks to build a story for the next feud
Rhea, Bianca, Nia, Iyo Sky, Are the new four horsewomen, if you want to go there. Then if you really want to get out there with the future: Roxanne, Tiffany, Lyra and Lola Vice.
The four horsewomen are the total package charisma, Mic skills & excellent wrestlers, liv Morgan & nia Jax are the biggest sneaks on that list. Bianca & rhea definitely fit the bill four next four horsewoman but I don't think anyone on main right now can fill those other two spots outside maybe iyo. But I don't think she will be in wwe past another 3 to 5 years to qualify for it so maybe she would be a honorary \ unofficial 5th horsewomen like asuka is. I think wwe probably wanted Raquel Rodriguez to be in the next possible horsewomen & that's why she did the title pose on nxt with rhea & Bianca but her skin condition she is dealing with froze her big push she was getting. The only other person I could see in the next horsewomen depends on how good she is booked on main roster is Roxanne perez.
Everyone calls for Kevin to finally turn. I see a different story: Kevin is breaking the 4th wall by bringing up stats in a scripted sport and cutting through the obvious story beats. He cut the obvious story beats calling the obvious tag team match to happen and get it over with. He likes Cody for being a fighting champion that plays fair, which provides opportunities for more of the roster to grow. The exact opposite of Roman Reigns clogging the title scene and always undermining others by having the bloodline cheating for him. Kevin has a growing sentiment of disappointment, he's getting proven wrong. Maybe there's really no one better suited for this match and Cody's right? He saw how oblivious and self absorbed Austin Theory is, how weak spirited and underperforming Greyson Waller is. The SmackDown roster grew lazy, weak, complacent, reliant on ref incompetence spots and cheating their way through. He feels additional disappointment seeing Cody exposing himself to the same old cliches, signaling to Cody that he had two backstabbing opportunities so far. Cody's falling for the oldest tricks in the book, and will eventually fall and drop the title to someone Kevin believes to be undeserving, someone that will cheat their way to victory. Kevin is conflicted that once again the SmackDown roster will be captive to a champion that's not fighting much and kills every opportunity for other talent to grow by cheating them out with endless interferences and cheating, just like what we have seen for so long.
ohh...... I know of the approximate date / month of your bday Steve, now I have an idea 💡 of larson's 🎂 bday... keep a look out in the PO bo× friend ohS !☆
Always thought that expression was nonsense who the hell cares if they have a cake and they cant eat it you dont even have cake at that point in my book if it cant serve its purpose
Greetings and Salutations! This comment is for engagement. This poem is from chatGPT. :P Bye! In the ring where giants dance, Muscle-bound in spandex pants, They leap and twist with flair and might, In a world where day is always night. Adrenaline surges, in the soul it flows, Fueling the fire where the bravest go, With a flip and a slam, they soar through the air, Battles of strength in a circus so rare. The crowd roars loud, the lights flash bright, In this theater of dreams, all wrongs turn right, Heroes and villains in a grand ballet, Each move they make, a story they say. In the squared circle, where legends grow, Wrestling's magic, a wild, wondrous show.
17:51 I guess pandering to Gunther is more important :/ Can't have Triple H's favorite toy be tainted by the botched pin at king of the ring, so they send Randy to eat a pin and clean it up real quick
The expression is , " you can't eat your cake and have it too " . Because, once you've eaten it , it's gone .
Happy whenever your birthday is Larson!
There’s nothing I love more than Steve laughing at his own jokes

Oh. And bring in their Tag Team music.
To turn Kevin Owens heel they need to bring up Cody getting him traded for Jey and splitting him up with Sami.
Larson not caring at all for the audio crowd 😂
I believe that Ortons loss to Gunther is gonna motivate his attention to Cody’s belt
Agreed
Thats probably the Mania match. No other bigger match they could setup besides another rematch with Roman or a match with Rock. None of the latter two is happening. So its definitely Orton.
@@IsaacSperrow I think Cody’s Mania opponent will be The Rock

Last night was a good episode imo but it has certainly been the inferior show since wrestlemania
Put your ones up for the Botch King, True Tribal Chief - Tanga Loa. 👌
Happy Birthday Larson!! 🎉
Smackdown engagement chat.
It should've been #CallLevesque ..
This may be my most favorite Larson moment 😂
Is Jimmy gonna come back super jacked, or have a lil marble cake with frozen whipped topping tummy from chillin at home?
at this point, Kevin Owens is going to be conflicted during the title match, and then because he can't just commit to being Face or Heel, he loses, and _that_ makes him snap and go Heel again.
Happy birthday, Larson!

Marble cake for the win!

Solo will end up back in the OG Bloodline after Jacob turns on him. They planted the seeds tonight for sure.
We are in the 5th inning
I’ll take a bad smack down over a bad raw any day of the fucking week when SmackDown was good raw was on watchable. If they can’t figure out how to make both shows good I would rather the two hour show be the bad one then the three hours sl Murder og every Monday.
Nothing beats 3 hours of good wrestling tv
The expression is supposed to be eat your cake and have it too. But for some reason people say have your cake and eat it too.
Yay, the bowling ring is back!
I've been enjoying Smackdown ... it's not as exciting as RAW but it's not nearly boring to me
Cody is just a modern version of Max Headroom.
#ASKPAUL. Why don’t you have Factions interact with each other more? Like have a clash backstage in catering “for taking my seat”. Or eating the “last steak/pie”. Could create for conflict.
Great Show! 🎉
Happy Friday!
#callpaul Who said a prize fighter is a heel? Kevin Owens turning the “KO” shirt into an iconic shirt like the “3:16” shirt of this era just seems right ✊🏽
I hope KO doesn't actually turn but Cody THINKS he is going and turn on KO
#CallPaul Who would win in an game of HORSE between you, Steve, and Larson
I actually don’t think ko is gonna turn heel. He’s gonna subvert expectations and just stay a tweener
Ik it’s frustrating but KO turning this week would’ve been too soon
I feel like Cody needing to defend at every PLE and so much over seas travel since mania there hasn’t been more than 3/4 weeks to build a story for the next feud
#CallPaul we need more mid to upper card heels on SD and an all women’s brand since you won’t book enough women💯
Rhea, Bianca, Nia, Iyo Sky,
Are the new four horsewomen, if you want to go there.
Then if you really want to get out there with the future:
Roxanne, Tiffany, Lyra and Lola Vice.
Cody should drop the title and pick it up again closer to Mainia for the Rock match
#CallPaul - How do you stretch Roman - Solo till Mania 41? Jacob Fatu - Roman is the bigger match.
When I got to Twitter after raw, there's nothing but posts about it. When I go to Twitter after smackdown(without Roman) it's a ghost town

#CallPaul Since you're a big social media guy. Who are your favourite wrestling channels? And who would you consider to be pissant channels?
#callpaul. Montez, are we going to do anything with him?
So if you wannauh get guys overuh and keep em overuh…Better call Paul!
Friendo
Kevin Owens will pass Big Show.
Day 8 of asking Steve and Larson for a collab
HBD Larson
Nice

#CallPaul - did you see the WrestleTalk boys put out a prediction video with Luke and Oli? THOSE OTHER BOYS trying to steal Luke away.

Why do you always say frozen a whipped topping instead of just saying Cool whip, we know it's cool whip.
What if it’s a different brand? Then it wouldn’t be accurate!
It could be Great Value
