Sep 13, 2017 Watching Smackdown now. If KO/Shane isn't the only actual HIAC match at the PPV, then New Days vs Usos should definitely be in the cell as well
Sep 13, 2017 Kinda worried they do the new thing where the girl's get their gimmick match too just for the sake of it. Owens/Shane the only feud that deserves it tbh.
Sep 20, 2017 3 Smackdowns in a row with no Bobby Roode, wtf? Jinder's promo is getting some mainstream press, but not in a good way. Women's fatal four way was awesome

While The Modern Day Maharaja has given no indication that he’s backing down from his remarks, Nakamura has been fairly quiet, only offering brief comments last Tuesday about the champion’s invective. Will The King of Strong Style finally respond in a major way? Will Baron Corbin make Tye Dillinger regret his actions? Tye Dillinger cost Baron Corbin the chance to challenge for AJ Styles’ United States Championship last Tuesday, and after the match, a furious Lone Wolf promised that he would be looking for retribution.

Oct 4, 2017 I remember back when the SD Live thread was always super active. How the times have changed
Oct 4, 2017 It's not necessarily bad now, just some questionable decisions. Jinder is the main eventer while AJ holds the mid-card title
Oct 4, 2017 Tag team and women's scene are a joke. Jinder as champ is a big problem. Seems to be less time for the matches because of him when AJ was wrestling constantly, same with MIz. Almost everyone on the mid card is protected to some degree so AJ can't really beat anyone. That open challenge sure fell flat. Really like the idea of an AJ caliber guy holding the US title under normal circumstances tho
Oct 10, 2017 Unrelated, but I watched the Shawn michaels vs undertaker h--- in a cell match for the first time and it was amazing. I then looked up to see how many HIAC matches there have been over the years and was shocked to see that it's 38. That's insane and pretty much kills the suspense of what's supposed to be an epic match
Oct 11, 2017 Heel Sami is going to be incredible...that was already the best promo he’s cut in WWE That is still to this day the best HIAC match. I can’t believe there’s been 38 of them that’s f---in crazy...and the thing is the best HIAC matches are all from the early days. I know they had a couple random cell matches on a couple episodes of Raw in ‘98 but other than those and the WM 15 Bossman one the best Cell matches were all the first 3 or 4 ever- HBK/Taker Foley/Taker Foley/HHH 6-man HIAC from ‘00 (very underrated despite the ridiculous Rikishi bump)
