Jinder kind of speaking truth tbh.

 

[Sinatar]

This is how you open your go home show for Summerslam.

Yup.

 

[ratcliffja]

WWE has been known for being tone deaf in the past, but I don't think this is the best time for this you guys. Also booing a national anthem, come on.

Yep. This is awful. If they're trying to cater to India, having the crowd boo their national anthem isn't helping.

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

Yeah this totally plays well today.

 

[Angry Grimace]

They're trying so hard to cater to India it's embarrassing.

Why? The Indian market isn't a big untapped treasure trove. The vast majority of money WWE gets out of India is monetized YouTube clips.

 

[PROh1bited]

This is the worst time to pull off the foreigner heel.

Great time to chant USA!

 

[ambar_hitman]

Totally getting banned. Indian government hates National anthem and flag getting disrespected. This will not end well.

Looks like I made the right decision by not watching.

 

[Neverfade]

Rolling out the Indian Anthem knowing people are going to boo it is real fucking tonedeaf right about now. Christ almighty.

Edit: beaten soundly

 

[TimeEffect]

This would be so much better if he brought up trump

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Man I hate that they keep pushing the "foreigners are evil" angle. One of my least favorite parts of WWE

 

[Rhaknar]

why the fuck did they go with Nak instead of Cena for this feud?

oh yeah Transformers

 

[The Strokes]

Is this entertaining for anyone?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Quick kids, boo these brown people not speaking American and singing funny.

 

[Zabka]

IT'S USA'S OWN SHINSUKE NAKAMURA!

 

[Nocturnowl]

On one hand I appreciate the Jinder experiment for being something different, giving someone a chance and all but ultimately he just ain't nearly good enough to be a main focus like this.

He could've been doing this all with the US title which would play into the whole "look at my craaazzzzy passport!" thing but I guess that wasn't gonna get India's butts in seats.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Do wwe edit ror India? Wouldn't be shocked if they pipped cheers over to the broadcast there.

 

[Rhaknar]

IT'S USA'S OWN SHINSUKE NAKAMURA!

MURICA

 

[slightconfuse]

Booker t on what working for tna is like

 

[PROh1bited]

They gonna chant USA for Shinsuke?

 

[ambar_hitman]

Do wwe edit ror India? Wouldn't be shocked if they pipped cheers over to the broadcast there.

Smackdown isn't aired live, RAW is. They might edit out entire Anthem if they have any brains.

 

[shaowebb]

where's the gif of that amazing jump pin count he did in the Omega v Naito match?

Never fear, Red Shoes is here!

 

[ambar_hitman]

Nak trying to remember script.

 

[PROh1bited]

Uh oh, he said title.

 

[Sinatar]

Nakamura needs a manager. Make him a Paul Heyman guy.

 

[Rhaknar]

Never fear, Red Shoes is here!

you are actually the best

 

[TimeEffect]

Why is this guy so weird

 

[ambar_hitman]

That was the most awkward promo ever. Nakamura should never touch a mic. Ever.

 

[Heroman]

Never fear, Red Shoes is here!

I can still hear the Japanese commentary.

 

[ramoisdead]

Uh oh, he said title.

I thought "belt" was the no-no word.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

That was the most awkward promo ever. Nakamura should never touch a mic. Ever.

He totes should, I like him, hes cool, hes different.

 

[Indelible]

That was the most awkward promo ever. Nakamura should never touch a mic. Ever.

It wasn't that bad, atleast he took out the mouthgaurd .

 

[Pikma]

Why is racist homophobic AJ Styles a face?

 

[Raw64life]

Time for Becky to do the job because she has nothing to do at SS.

The build will no doubt be awful. Guy who sucks at promos vs. guy with poor English. The anti-American shtick makes no sense for this feud but they'll probably do it anyway because it's all Vince knows.

Can't wait to see Nakamura's American flag pants at Summerslam.

I was right about the first part.

Now we just need to see those American flag pants.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Becky's entrance needs the steam.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Uh oh, he said title.

Title is the right word.

 

[Toki767]

Isn't this a heel move?

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Becky and Charlotte doing basically nothing post mania sucks

 

[ambar_hitman]

Naomi on mic. This keeps on getting worse.

 

[Indelible]

Naomi is terrible on commentary.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Becky and Charlotte doing basically nothing post mania sucks

I like how the superstar shakeup basically sent Charlotte from the focal point of WWE's women wrestling push to just being kinda there.
Though I suppose it would kinda smell for the SD women who did good work building themselves up post original draft (yes even Natty, come at me) if they were immediately bumped off when Charlotte arrived.

 

[Sinatar]

Naomi is terrible.

She really is. At least she's losing the belt in 6 days.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

:/

 

[Zabka]

ShinsUSA NakAMERICA is going to beat that foreign devil on Sunday for the Stars and Stripes BABY!

 

[ambar_hitman]

Naomi is terrible on commentary.

She is terrible everywhere. I just can't stand her.


Becky lost clean. Wtf are they doing with her.

Naomi almost dropped F bomb on commentary lmao.

 

[ratcliffja]

I like Naomi.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Im glad the womens division is more "legit" now but this is such lazy booking. The matches are always too short and the feuds too basic

 

[Nocturnowl]

Carmella is actually doing a better job being a MitB holder than Corbin.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Becky vs ellsworth should be a little match at summerslam where Ellsworth gets squashed
