They drowned the Carmella segment out with Ellsworth chants. I don't remember hearing such a rowdy crowd on a pre-show.

I was watching the April 1st 2002 episode of RAW earlier (first with the new set) and Lilian Garcia was still awful. I thought it was maybe a 1999 thing but nope. Crazy how you don't notice these things at the time. I want to know when she suddenly grew into her voice...

"The insider" Byron Saxton.

What with "Tenay Young" and now this, this is the second 'coincidental' reference to Mike Tenay.

Can't really say I'm happy to see The New Day as tag champions again, but it was a good match.

The mix of apathy and silence from the crowd for this main event. :slol:

There's no way a large portion of the crowd can even see what is happening.

The Punjabi prison is a truly horrible gimmick match, it really is. Amazed they've brought it back.

*reads last nights results*

Even reading a recap is a chore. Another bad PPV, how many more can they go on like this before a big shakeup needs to happen?

Ok I was not expecting the great khali to come back :lol: I wonder if it was a one off or if we have to put up with his one move (big chop) offensive matches for a while.

Wonder if its the set up to make Cena/Jinder at SS even harder odds for the brave American to overcome then he'll disappear.

Can't wait for Cena to strawberry float off again.

Feels like it's all leading to Cena winning the belt back so he can turn up on RAW with it as a "free agent". Only a true American hero like Super Cena can vanguish the case of the Mahals here in 1987.

Since the superstar shake-up SmackDown has been absolute gooseberry fool.

Did you notice on Talking Smack last night they've even downgraded the set. Just because.

How far is Cena off the record? I think he'd get the belt and then can see Corbin cashing in.

But Smackdown has been dull since the draft. AJ Styles as a heel champ was the best thing about Smackdown last year. Now we all got is the boring foreign we hate America heels in Jindal, Owens and Rusev. The latter two don't even need to do that.

Every Orton match is boring.

Their complete mishandling of Rusev has reached Cesaro levels of ridiculousness and wastefulness.
