I like watching Smackdown.
Actually, it's WWE in general.
On Raw, I love the current Judgment Day storyline. I was never a fan of Liv Morgan, but her revenge tour has given me a reason to check out her backstage interactions.
Of course, the CM Punk and Drew McIntyre feud is a must-watch, especially now that Seth Rollins is also in the mix. Over at NXT, they are doing well with their current association with TNA. There are loose ends that are tied, like Wes Lee and The Rascalz, a possible interaction with The Motor City Machine Guns, and let's not forget that Ethan Page and Josh Alexander were once a celebrated tag team.
Over on Smackdown, it's The Bloodline.
Solo Sikoa as a leader is growing on me. I still think they need to do something with Tonga Loa though, because of what Jacob Fatu is currently doing.
I like how instead of a squash match, the writers gave him a post-match beatdown segment. I don't know where Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa are in this equation, but they could be worthy rubs for the Guerillas of Destiny. That pop-up Samoan drop is awesome, and I like how civilized Fatu's uncivilized Samaon version is. Yes, he growls like the earlier Samaons. Not to mention that his head is also indestructible. But he also thinks and talks.
Anyway, with Kevin Owens out, Solo and The Bloodline's mafia version unleashed hell on Randy Orton with the helpless Cody Rhodes looking on.
Here's the other thing I want to talk about.
I like Tiffany Stratton's wrestling image.
She's beautiful and she works like the female version of Batista with the athleticism of pre-Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner. Again, she could either be a diva or a brawler-looking chick but fortunately for her, she is both.
That said, someone should be sanctioned for her ring wear.
I get that she needs to flaunt her body, but what is up with WWE's resident seamstress? Again, I don't like writing about fashion because the last thing I need to worry about is chick wear.
However, I just saw Chris Van Vliet interview Muhammad Hassan and how standards and practices asked WWE to fire him. Hassan had massive crowd heat because he raised valid points about the whole Arab-American situation in the United States. And yeah, it went too far when he choked The Undertaker with a piano wire...
... a week before the July 7 London bombings that killed 52 and injured almost 800 innocent bystanders, as well as the four suicide bombers.
Hassan went from future WWE champion to world history teacher within a year.
And here's another thought-provoker for you, folks. Did you see her in the Money In The Bank post-show presser? If she's not going to be in a match, then just let her wear rich girl clothes that won't get sidetracked when she goes for a spine buster, Alabama slam, or The Prettiest Moonsault Ever! Again, I don't want to talk about fashion but if some person complains about her getting a wardrobe malfunction because her attire doesn't fit, then that's going to be bad for her fans.
Yes, Stratton has signed with a Hollywood talent agency and there is a chance that her role will be reminiscent of the badass chick antagonist that she portrays on Smackdown.
But can they just fit her attire properly?
SHE NEEDS TO BE A CHAMPION!!!
Is she wearing a hand-me-down from Frankie Monet's ring wear collection?
