I've learned about her pecking order via "extensive research". Jinder and Shinsuke aren't suppose to be on the priority list

I actually like Nakamura but he should really learn English better.
Yep. Corbin,Owens,Mojo,Bray,Dana,Brock,Rowan,Balor though his body makes him somewhat tolerable. |

Does Jinder's ethnicity hinder your liking for him?

I know this was a question for BW, but me - I find this dude boring (I don't watch much, though) even though I kinda enjoy all those USA vs The World feuds.
I think all the finishes to his matches with Orton were stupid and repetitive. |

I think Nakamura speaks English better than people think. He's got the mouthpiece in a lot and talks with the lisp as a result, plus I think he puts extra emphasis on a lot of words because of his style.

I don't have a favorable opinion of Jinder Mahal. His foreigner gimmick doesn't even fit the right stereotype and has set "my people" back a few decades. The biggest pet peeve that I have is when the fucker says that he's going to speak to his people in the language of Punjabi. Punjabi is not one of the two widely spoken languages (Hindi and English) in the country. People who speak Punjabi make up less than 3% of the overall population. Also, he's using the "Dastar" (turban) to get heat. It's the equivalent of getting booed for wearing a cross or a religious headscarf / burka / hijab / niqab.

So Shinsuke's mouthguard is to emphasize his MMA career or something?

Just watched it. It was fun - and Cena definitely did the right thing in putting Nakamura over. In spite of Cena's promos in which he scoffs at being called a part-timer, the fact is he's rapidly outgrowing WWE and they should be doing everything they can to try to have Cena give the rub to other guys while he's still around.
I'm sure Cena still loves wrestling, but with his upcoming Transformers appearance I can see him reaching a point where his schedule fills up with so many movies (and protection clauses in his contracts for those movies) that he simply won't have the time to wrestle anymore. He's on borrowed time and WWE desperately need Cena to help build new stars while they still can. |

Ambrose won over Cena?
Must have been very poorly promoted, cause I've never heard of this. |

• The US Title match was really good but I do hope that SummerSlam is the end of it, which it looks like it will be.
• Everytime I see The Usos, I love them a little bit more. • Again, Fandango & Breeze provide the humour. If what Fandango said is anything to go by, then the whole "log, syrup, rose" thing is a just a bunch of gibberish. If you reverse what Fandango said, it's just gibberish too, which makes the whole segment that little bit more Hugh Morris. • Aiden English's clean win over Sami Zayn reminded me of when I was at SmackDown and witnessed Curt Hawkins' clean win over Apollo Crews. I really wasn't expecting either of them and when they happened, I was both surprised and ecstatic. I hope this keeps up for English and it leads to something good for him. • Rusev/Gable was another enjoyable match. It sucks though that Rusev is now dealing with Orton. Personally, I would have rather have seen a Rusev/Gable feud. Now, we have to witness Rusev being fed to Orton. • Good main event but bloody hell did Cena's landing at the end look painful. You could tell right after the three-count that Nakamura was worried about Cena and wanted to check if he was alright, and I see I'm not the only one that saw Nakamura apologising to Cena and all that. I can't help but think that one of two things will happen at SummerSlam. 1: Nakamura wins but is quickly dethroned by a cashing-in Baron Corbin. 2: Nakamura has Jinder beat but Corbin cashes in and steals the victory. I really can't see Jinder winning at SummerSlam. The whole Nakamura/Corbin thing is still unfinished and I feel that it's going to continue after SummerSlam with perhaps the WWE Championship being thrown in to make it more interesting. If by some miracle Jinder retains, then the MITB briefcase could possibly be thrown into the Nakamura/Corbin feud instead. • But anyway, SmackDown was pretty good this week. |

About the US title match - I can kinda see Shane turning heel and screwing AJ over.

They gave away a PPV tier first encounter for a 0.034 million increase in the ratings.
Cena took a bigger bump than the bump in the ratings got. |

Was surprised the Nakamura/Cena match had a true finish and Cena put over Shinsuke. Good match though and I thought Cena might have broke his neck. Nakamura vs Mahal for the WWE Championship at Summerslam is weird but I think Nakamura wins with a Corbin cash in afterwards. The Styles/Owens match would have been better if the ref bump wasn't so poor. Glad KO vs Shane isn't happening though and hopefully him and Styles can have a killer match at Summerslam.

Just watched this episode of Smackdown Live. Another solid show.
US Title match was good. Ending was a bit messed up with the ref being knocked down from the wind of KO's missed punch, and it causing him to be blind. I'm glad that we aren't getting a KO/Shane match, and are actually getting another match between two full time rasslers in the middle of a good feud. Usos continue to be good. I guess rapping is their thing now? Also, did they get a new theme with lyrics? I really enjoyed Rusev/Gable. It seems to me like Chad Gable is everything they want Jason Jordan to be. He's slowly (very slowly) catching on with the fans..... but unlike having a super-hyped up match against Curt Hawkins, he has been having match after match with high-end competitors. Having good showings, but losing. When Rusev was talking after the match about how no one could beat him, I was hoping Gable would have got on the mic and been all "I came that close to beating you, and I know I can do it, so I want you again!" Rusev could have then said "no", but over the next two weeks stuff happens and he agrees, and then Gable beats him at Summerslam. Would have been good for Rusev, would have been good for Gable. Instead we are getting Orton/Rusev, where Rusev will no doubt lose. This is feeling like the "good old days" where Cena would feud with someone and win, and then Orton would swoop in and take his sloppy seconds and feud with that person right after and also win. I'm glad Nakamura won the main event, I guess. I still think it is going to be a lackluster main event/WWE Title Match for Summerslam..... but I guess it is slightly more interesting with Nakamura rather than Cena. |

I'm curious to see where they are going with Mahal/Cena. It seems like they've set it in stone now, but where does that leave Cena? A multi-man tag with some babyfaces against the like of Owens, Corbin, Rusev, etc.? It'd be easy to get to and provide a fun calamity for the show. The WWE often does multi-man tags really well.
It feels to me like you can't have Nakamura get this far and choke. Unless they are going with Corbin cashing in and screwing Nakamura, but do we really need more Corbin/Nak matches? Seems a bit shoe-horned. Maybe it would just be better to switch the belt to Nakamura and run with that for a while, because there have been a lot of first-time champs lately. |

Yeah..... I hope they feud after Summerslam..... I can see WWE not wanting Gable at Summerslam so he doesn't overshadow Kurt Angle's Son, Jason Jordan.

Personally, I'd like it if Orton won and then turned heel on Nakamura in a "You did what I couldn't do" move. Cena is apparently heading over to RAW, so Nakamura vs. Orton seems like the most "emboldening" match for Naks. Styles vs. Owens seems like a vehicle to get to Owens vs. Shane, which is fine by me. People still care about Shane, and if they add the bells and whistles, Owens can play that hardcore game about as well as anybody today. Styles seems like the odd man out after SummerSlam. It's possible they just jam him with a random guy like Rusev or Corbin, but if Joe does head over (wasn't he advertised on some Smackers shows?) then Styles vs. Joe for the US Title would be really cool eventually. Or maybe they even bring over a guy like Cesaro for the Styles match. Or run something with Zayn or Gable, face vs. face. I wish they were doing more with Styles, but he's a good supplement to whatever else is going on. I just hope they move away from Mahal in the title picture. |

Seems like Cena and Corbin might feud for a bit, if what was supposed to be the first few minutes of 205 LIVE were instead (Corbin beating on Nakamura's and Cena making the save) are any indication.

In the long run, I really don't think he does tbh. Orton's spot is pretty much secure and I don't think putting Rusev over is gonna hurt that
