I love the Headbangers. Speak for yourself.

You're on an island. Not even their mothers like The Headbangers.

I actually saw a ton of people on twitter talking about how much they liked the Headbangers. More people than you seem to think.

I never disliked them, they just were marketed as the attitude era's bushwackers. I always felt bad for them as their gimmick was cool but just horrible timing entering the tag team scene.

Tag tournament has been so damn predictable.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Hey guys. Did you know that Curt Hawkins tells his GPS where to go?

 

[Judge Fudge]

Alpha is Out.

THere will be a match between Usos and hype at blacklash to face the team of Rhinlater

Who you got right now?

Rhinlater or the winner of the other match

Usos...unfortunately

 

[Duffman]

The Uso's turning heel and their promo with Renee showed more personality on the mic than in their 6 year run as faces. If they can bring that kind of intensity then a heel Uso vs face AA rivalry will be really fun to watch.

They should be called Slino IMO.

They should be called Slino IMO.

I thought about that too

Not sure if its official, but the name I've seen the most on the interwebs is "Beauty and The Manbeast"

 

[Tubbs1518]

I think Slater and Rhyno win this one. AA will run down and cost the Usos the match setting them up to feud.

 

[jeffro151]

Backlash results
Becky new women's champ
Slater Rhyno new tag Champs
Miz retains
AJ Styles new champ
Wyatt beat Orton by forfeit (Orton not cleared to wrestle is the rumor )

 

[wildturkey]

Styles went from the indies to WWE champ in less than a year. That's nuts. With Owens and Styles, the old ways of doing things are certainly dead. Use to be it'd take years for guys with their backgrounds to move up. Now, WWE is rightly recognizing talent and just going with it

I'm an AJ mark so feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I honestly feel his in ring work right now is as good as anyone in WWF/E history.
The match last night wasn't as epic or dramatic as the Cena match from SS but in some ways it was just as good.
You can put almost anyone from the SD roster in a feud with him right now and Styles can give you a credible main event type match. This is Michaels/Hart level in ring performance but with higher impact moves and even more athleticsm to make it feel modern. I'll end my fanboy rant now.

Really loved the booking of the tag tournament. Slater/Rhyno was a great story and made two bottom of the roster guys a great part of the show. Alpha still keeps their spot as the best tag team in the division. The Usos can be entertaining in the ring but their characters were one dimensional and stale. They needed that heel turn.
Since Smackdown's the B show and they seem to be experimenting with the format it'd be interesting if they went a little more tag team heavy in storylines than WWE normally does. If the Revival goes to SD like they should you can close a monthly PPV with Alpha/Revival and it'd be a true main event.
Wonder if Rowan/Harper come back as a tag team soon? That'd be great for the tag division. I wouldn't mind Harper getting a huge singles push either. Really talented wrestler with great size

 

[jeffro151]

I missed the Wyatt/Kane match, so I just went and read a review. I can't believe Kane went over Wyatt. Yeah, Kane had some help in Orton, but seriously. Wyatt has to be the most pushed wrestler ever only to lose just about every match.

 

[Hitman Hart]

NJPW isn't even close to being an independent promotion. Indies don't draw attendances of 35,000+ and turn a gross revenue of 27.3 million.

I wouldn't consider ROH an indy either, but I'm not going get into an argument about that.

 

[futballiscool]

Opening promo is amazing!

 

[Duffman]

It wont be long until Rhyno turns on Slater, you can tell he's getting more and more upset that he has to carry the entire team.
