2745932, Smackdown and Rampage Posted by jimaveli, Sun Sep-05-21 10:33 AM
Is a fun 1-2 punch of rasslin. AEW roster is big enough at this point that they can probably keep that show pretty decent for a while to come. This group has mentioned how just watching Dynamite would mean you basically don’t see some folks wrestle. Rampage fills in the blanks in a good way. And it’s quick.
And Smackdown is WWE’s best foot forward at this point so I dig it too. Reigns as the show’s overlord is good fucking times every week. Too a bad they couldn’t get Brock to do the same thing for Raw during his last run. There’s shows where Reigns doesn’t throw a punch but he’s always somehow involved. It works on me like a mofo.
