Putting your hottest act in the last segment remains a smart decision.

Usually pro wrestling has quite a bit of overthinking. This needed some more thought and attention.

We open Smackdown at a sold out Madison Square Garden with half the crowd singing the Usos entrance. My goodness. I love when wrestling is good.

Man that whole segment was fantastic.
Roman is the best in the business right now.

Theory tried his new finisher and Sheamus tried to bang him missionary style as a counter. Not sure if that was a message.

Well, that women's segment certainly happened. Asuka was dressed like the wacky girl in customer service that always says hello but sometimes is having a really bad day.

This has been a damn solid wrestling show. They're doing a great job of keeping you locked in. I'll start watching again if they can do this 3 out of 4 weeks per month.
Edit: Got ahead of myself with Waller.

Cole just mentioned Christian. I think Taker is coming back next week for Wrestler's Court.

The entire crowd is standing and pointing for the heel champion's entrance.

I see AJ went to Great Clips and asked for the Flat Earth Special.

Ford & Dawkins changing their look to join Lashley is a wise move. They needed a revamp and sharp dressed motherfuckers is cool with me.
Charlotte had a vignette on a yacht and she said she's not looking to beat Bianca or Asuka tomorrow, they have to beat her. She realizes she's not champion still, right? That's a legit question as she's held the title 87 times it's felt like. She also called herself the most reliable, which, how many times has she taken off in recent years?

They want her to tie her dad’s record. And they’ll fast track it to mean a hell of a lot less.

They piped in sound effects for Shotzi chasing Bayley with hair clippers.
What the fuck?

So I'm on recap duty tonight for the Observer and I legit hadn't watched a live Smackdown since the pandemic started. I didn't realize how many commercials there were and how little wrestling there was.
I know this is a go home to their second biggest show of the year and you don't want folks hurt, but still, there's not a lot of action here.

Smackdown before a ppv has been bad for nearly the entire existence of the show. Lots of recaps.

It was like TNA/WCW amount of wrestling, but instead of TO THE BACK with 900 segments, we got really well produced hype videos that made you want to see matches.
My takeaways from watching my first full Smackdown in ages that I didn’t zip through on the DVR?
-LA Knight is massively over -Profits with Lashley could be a fun act -Austin Theory is a dork -Grayson Waller Effect blows -Piped in sound effects for hair clippers was ridiculous -The Bloodline feud continues to be the best in wrestling with doing very little each week, yet making it mean something -Bayley in leather pants = ratings -Oh and of course Michael Cole sucks

5 hours of weekly Michael Cole commentary, plus 3-4 hour PPVs with him
Think about that
