Well look at that SmackDown did it, manage to for the 1st times in months create a buzz. While no big fan of Shane McMahon; his opening show promo was fantastic and compelling. Hitting on personal notes that can really cut to the cord of a man; by mentioning his daddy issue and his family; very well done. The icing on the cake was the announcement that Vince McMahon will be on SD Live next week. I thought the main event between Orton-Nakamura was a really good television match; in fact one of the better Orton matches in years. Raw was also very notable with a well above average cage match between Show & Strowman, the continued build of Braun has become truly the story of the last year. I thought Roman & Cena promo exchange was much more dialed in, and actually gave the impression that both guys wanted to win a fight. Considering I think this approach of dog whistle and insider comments is the fallacious way to go, but I acknowledge that this program has a significant amount of steam behind it due to those facts. Either way there is a lot more to sick your teeth in but next will return to more in-depth analysis.
Throwback Thursday feels like a 2 for 1 special with the "Iconic" Method Man & Lauryn Hill in "Say". Now I've covered both these artists before so there no much more to add, but just know they did use their full arsenal and it's significantly better than 90% of music today. Enjoy
After Monday Nights Raw shoot promo between Cena & Roman; last night SD live was extremely satisfying. It for me was a solid, logical, and well booked show. I've herd some criticism of how cold the The Brand is coming across, and while how you feel about any particular form of entertainment is a personal choice; I would strongly disagree.
Let's get down to the root of the issue and why most fans feel this way. It's simple the top of the card just doesn't feel like the top. I've done very little public criticism of WWE's decision to go with Jinder Mahal, but considering Raw's main event scene includes Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, Lesnar, Cena, and Roman; Jinder just falls short. It doesn't help that AJ Styles, and Kevin Owens shares the same show as well. Last night's main event tag was definitely painted by the numbes as far as the in ring went, but post match angle between Nakamura-Orton does peak my curiosity for next week's match.
I'm reluctant to endorse the ongoing program between Kevin Owens & Shane McMahon for several reasons; most notable Owens should be in the ring with an everyday world-class wrestler. The only reason this is excepted is because WWE has engraved the fans that NO ONE is smarter, tuffer, or more important than a McMahon. So just strictly as a career move it's likely ideal for the most obvious reason that it involves a McMahon.
While I'm a bigger Baron Corbin fan than most; not sure him and Styles is good for either man right now. While Styles position in the company seems on solid ground for now but a loss to Corbin could hurt, but definitely not as much as it would crush Corbin. Yes he's a heel and they can generally afford to take a loss, but, in light of he's been beaten several times in the last few weeks. Well see.
The rest of the show was a solid, just not much to really comment on. Women's Division is still uninteresting and lacking any star power. Still very unclear on what's going with Bobby Roode; only time will tell. Enjoy
Mixtape Wednesday comes from Jody Breeze today in "I feel like Rappin". If your asking yourself who is Jody Breeze, don't feel bad I wasn't completely sure either. If you remember Boyz N Da Hood with Young Jeezy; then you remember Jody Breeze. The Georgia born rapper has been peripherally making music for the last 13 years, hopefully this mix tape will allow you to formulate your own opinion on his potential or lack thereof.
