SmackDown's Gonna Need that List & the Authority to Overrule It...

How’s this Tuesday Going for You?

I had a doctor’s appointment if that’s any consolation.  So, RAW didn’t so much phone it in as lob it over the net, so to speak.  As far as Go Home Shows go, I’d say they missed the mark a bit but as for a show, it was very OK.  Now, that makes it somewhat clear that they’re leaving the dirty work to SmackDown this time around.  So, here’s where some intrigue floats to the surface.  Was that all Paul Heyman could come up with or is that what he’s leaving Eric Bischoff to clean up?

As this new era develops, there are going to be a ton of ways for Kayfabe to slip in.  One of those ways is in speculation in how the shows are run.  Would Heyman be that much of dick to leave the guy who hasn’t even officially started yet with the short end of the stick?  Well, if it makes for good story maybe.  We’ll see if this is just experimentation or the set-up of a more interesting tale.

In any case, SmackDown has to do what it often has to and make some case for the upcoming PPV, in this instance Extreme Rules.  As of now, I’m not exactly excited for it but that could change.  Tonight’s action basically consists of Kevin Owens boxing Dolph Ziggler.  I’m not expecting that to be pretty but it could be interesting.  Shinsuke Nakamura gets to dust off his gear and do a dance with the just as MIA Finn Bálor.  And we’ll finally see who Aleister Black will face in the fight he’s been begging for.  Everything in between has to keep us interested.  Think they’ll pull it off?  They usually manage to.  Funny tweets get retweeted and as for Likes/Favorites well, we’ll have to be strict.  It’s the final Go-Home Show and we’ve got very little to come in on.  Don’t cough up a gem unless they give you the minerals to work with.

See You in a Bit,
