WWE Backlash 2017 |OT| This PPV Brought To You By India

Look at the ratings doe
Hint: The WWE Championship is the equivalent of the old WHC.
The Universal Championship is the companies biggest belt. Which is why Jinder Mahal is the WWE champion and Brock fucking Lesnar is the Universal Champion.
RAW ratings are the topic of conversation, not Smackdown.
Even then it's not as dire as the headlines would make you think

Brilliant end to Talking Smack

to an extent I agree but i just see it more as the guy got really really fucking lucky that Vince decided now to make a big push into India.
It's not like Punk or Zack who got themselves over in spite of Vince
Let's face it. It was only the equivalent when the WHC was on Raw.
As soon as they traded the titles, the WHC was a B Champion.

You know what, I love this. Old school heel's are amiss these days, and to have a capital H Heel again is fantastic.

They just put a KO shirt on a bobby roode figure.

It only took them a little over a year after the brand split to completely obliterate the value of the WWE title this time. Pretty impressive. Last time it took them two.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
exactly I agree it was the right time at the right moment type of thing and prob some ass kissing as well, but he did what he had to do to make it to the top, lots of people dont do that anymore they want to make it themselves in spite of people etc which is fine. I say let him ride it out as long as they allow him.

I think you are really fondly remembering 2011 women's matches if you think they were anything like what we saw tonight.

Smackdown is the land of opportunity, friend. What does Raw have, aside from an AWOL champion?

"Styles/Owens was a good finish"
"Jinder Mahal is champ fuck WWE!!!"
Choose one 😤
"Jinder Mahal is champ fuck WWE!!!"
Choose one 😤
That era before AJ-Katilyn won the belt, around the Kelly Kelly champ days.
Oh god, that period between WM 20 to 21 gives me nightmares.
HHH and JBL were champions.

Yeah this match tonight was way better than that.
Me realizing our options for champions in 2017 are Brock "I only know one move" Lesnar, Orton, Reigns, or fucking Jinder Mahal

The bolded
Randy is Kenny Stlye when compared to jinderYeah, Randy puts out great matches...
I'm in the "Both suck equally so I'll take the minority over the All Lives Matter dude" camp.
He didn't even defend it in the House of Horrors.

I enjoyed the show. It was fun for the most part, was happy to be wrong a few times. Only true disappointment was Breezango not winning the belts, their match was great otherwise. Excited to see more AJ and Owens as they ramp it up. I cheered for Jinder when he won. Also got drunk and bought a ticket to Extreme Rules...
