You never know with WWE, but one thing is for sure, we\u2019re definitely going to get screwier finishes than a Home Depot ad. Let\u2019s dig in!<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED ON RAW &#8211; GUNTHER\u2019S AMAZING TIE TRICK<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Okay here\u2019s something I guarantee you didn\u2019t notice, but if you dedicate 37 seconds of your life to revisiting, you won\u2019t be disappointed. After Gunther entered the ring with his shiny new prize, look at his tie. It couldn\u2019t be more disheveled if it tried. Now here comes the David Copperfield moment. He hoists it into the air and somehow, unfathomably, impossibly, Gunther wills it into shifting into a perfect position. I can only liken it to a drill sergeant commanding a soldier to straighten up, only Gunther is so badass he doesn\u2019t even need to speed.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED ON RAW &#8211; SING-ALONGS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m all for <i>Say What Karaoke<\/i>, but can we please leave the 90s in the past? I am so sick of WWE Superstars trying to turn every single entrance into <i>Lip Sync Battle. <\/i>It\u2019s become such a thing that wrestlers are lip syncing their own songs during their entrances now. It\u2019s too much. If you look up \u201cextra\u201d in the dictionary, you\u2019ll find information on a sugar substitute, an entertainment news program, and this fad that needs to go away. Orton had a sing-a-long. Seth has a sing-a-long. C.M. Punk has a sing-a-long. Even Cody has his wow crowd. I\u2019m over it. WWE Universe, please stop trying to hijack the show. It\u2019s distracting, annoying and unbecoming.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED ON RAW &#8211; WORST PROMO IN THE WORLD<\/b><\/p>\n<p>What on Earth was the point of C.M. Punk\u2019s promo, other than stalking for Drew McIntyre to interrupt him. He essentially just came out and rambled around messaging that his lost doesn\u2019t matter, that nothing Drew did matters. Go back and watch it. It has no clear mission statement. It\u2019s just a meandering disavowing of the entire importance of his SummerSlam match. What he could have done is attempt to explain why his fluffy medieval haircut is back. At least that would have some focus, unlike this promo that felt more confused than Perry Saturn in a mop factory.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>LISTEN TO FRIDAY NIGHT\u2019S WADE KELLER POST-SHOW AFTER SMACKDOWN<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/acknowledging-wwe-duncan-machado-talk-board-games-wyatt-sicks-wrestling-debut-reactions-wargames-match-predictions-more--60975970\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO STREAM<\/strong><\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4144542779\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=60975970&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=show&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED ON RAW &#8211; BRONSON REED DOES SOMETHING OF SUBSTANCE<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Maybe I\u2019m a bad person, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching Bronson \u201cTsunami\u201d Reed drown Seth Rollins in splashes. Maybe I just have a poor sense of fashion and want to see people get taken down a few pegs when they out dress me. It\u2019s so overdue for Reed to do something, anything worth paying attention to. It\u2019s a shame that we\u2019ve been so starved of him doing anything meaningful that it had to come to him causing internal bleeding to get noticed, but que sera sera. I\u2019m here for it. I also think that there might be some kind of conspiracy with Reed paying off the officials to not remove Rollins from his path of destruction when they had more openings than a cheese grater to do so. Side note, I like to think Reed collects vintage cheese graters. Why? Because I\u2019m projecting something of substance onto a character that, until tonight, has been nothing but a villainous action figure that says mean things when you squeeze his belly\u2026metaphorically of course.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED ON SMACKDOWN &#8211; GIOVANNI VINCI\u2019S POOR TASTE IN FONTS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Well, Giovanni Vinci is still employed. Surprises are fun, but that\u2019s about as exciting as finding out we\u2019re getting a reboot of <i>Full House<\/i> on Netflix. It\u2019s unnecessary, a bad reminder of something that used to be memorable, that just needs to stay in the past. Not only that, he\u2019s moving to Smackdown. So now we\u2019re getting Vinci sans his more interesting cohorts. That\u2019s like getting a plate of pepperoni with no pizza. Bland, boring and uninteresting. At least I think so. They had a vignette of him speaking Italian that probably would be easier to decipher than the ridiculously illegible mess they used tonight. Seriously, I tried reading that but soon gave up when I realized it would be faster to just get a Rosetta Stone and learn Italian. That font was like something created by a toddler loose in a production truck, who just discovered you can change fonts in Word.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED ON SMACKDOWN &#8211; ROMAN REIGNS OVER AN ITTY BITTY VILLAGE<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sorry, but Roman Reigns taking on The New Bloodline without Jacob Fatu is like watching Godzilla stomp out a village of Lilliputians from <i>Gulliver\u2019s Travels.<\/i> They just don\u2019t have a presence without the Samoan Werewolf and his boo boo foot. We have a one-eyed pirate, a man who thinks he\u2019s a gremlin, and a cos-playing biker without a Harley. Seriously, Solo Sikoa, what\u2019s with the gloves?! It\u2019s really a shame that Fatu got injured because it has turned them into the Thin Bloodline, which could get taken out by someone as lowly as J.D. McDonagh. Implausible impossibilities are fun to speculate on, but I digress.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2024\/08\/05\/wwe-overs-unders-mcafees-obsession-with-fecal-matter-gunthers-arena-entrance-swagger-temu-bloodline-sign-cody-plays-keepaway-with-belt-more\/\">WWE OVERS &amp; UNDERS: McAfee\u2019s obsession with fecal matter, Gunther\u2019s arena entrance swagger, Temu Bloodline sign, Cody plays keepaway with belt, more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR CHECK THIS OUT AT PROWRESTLING.NET:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2024\/08\/05\/mcguires-mondays-overthink-mondays-wwe-summerslam-edition\/\">McGuire\u2019s Mondays: Overthink Mondays \u2013 WWE SummerSlam edition<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2175952645\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wade Keller Post-show (8\/9) - WWE Smackdown w\/cohost Javier Machado\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ovnYVdCklFk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1821879325\"><div id=\"pwtor-66797243\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Well folks, we\u2019re in the aftermath of a middle of the road PLE, which means it\u2019s time to reset, rebuild anew, and focus on the next big set of feuds\u2026or schedule a month of reruns. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2024\/08\/11\/wwe-over-unders-gunthers-amazing-tie-trick-sing-alongs-worst-promo-in-the-world-giovannis-bad-taste-in-fonts-roman-reign-bronson-reed\/\" title=\"WWE OVER &#038; UNDERS: Gunther&#8217;s amazing tie trick, Sing-Alongs, Worst Promo in the World, Giovanni&#8217;s Bad Taste in Fonts, Roman Reign, Bronson Reed\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":175774,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,6930,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-182927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opnionandanalysis","category-over-and-unders","category-specialists"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-26-at-3.40.10\u202fPM.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182927"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":182928,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182927\/revisions\/182928"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
