Watch this weeks' Talking Smack, amazing stuff

Postby Str8Shooter » Aug 23, '16, 8:27 pm

Just finished watching the Talking Smack, Smackdown post show on the Network. The whole show is amazing. But the end was unreal stuff.

Miz stormed onto the set and demanded to know why Daniel Bryan doesn't care about him and the IC title and rebuilding it's prestige. Bryan then flat out said he doesn't like Miz's wrestling, and the fans don't either, and Apollo lost but was more impressive and Miz wrestles like a coward and is soft. Miz then went HAM, cutting quite possibly the promo of his life, saying Bryan can't wrestle anymore because of his style, and then told him to quit and go back to wrestling in bingo halls. Bryan stormed off pissed and Miz lost his shit, looking dead into the camera and going off.

I don't know if this was a shoot, a work, a worked shoot, who knows. But you need to watch this.

Fucking hell what a promo. Bryan's injury is still an incredibly touchy subject and Miz just tore him to fucking shreds, I can't even tell if that shit was a work or not but Miz just went nuclear. It feels like the kind of thing where there could be real heat because Miz has a legit point, guys are getting hurt left and right doing dangerous shit and Bryan is the prime example of that.

Here's a snippet, but this cuts out all of Miz's solo promo afterwards which was fantastic.

I'll also note the whole rest of the show was entertaining as hell too. Bryan is hilarious, he ripped on the reaction to the Universal title compared to SD's new ones. Nikki Bella was a fun interview, then Carmella attacks her, surprising everyone. They get separated as Bryan and Renee stand there dumbfounded in silence awkwardly.

The Usos then come on, Bryan basically says Raw's tag division is about Big E's testicles. He asks The Usos why the fans are hating them now :lol

Then the Miz thing happens. All in like 25 minutes.

I unironically mean this no joke Miz just blew indie midgets the fuck out. That bingo hall line, Jesus Christ. Miz is doing what wrestling is supposed to be, blurring the lines of reality and getting you invested in his character by working you so hard you think he's shooting. Wrestling is not just interpretative dance and flippy shit and Miz epitomizes the character side of wrestling, Bryan of course is the other side of wrestling and that contrast is what makes that promo so great.

I know its not possible but a heel IC champion and face GM who wanted to come back and get the belt and was never able to is fucking MONEY. It would have some real back story. Some actual heat. Imagine that.

You know, if Bryan was ever to wrestle one more match, Miz would be a safe opponent for him, he is familiar with Miz in the ring and wouldn't it be a good ending for the goat midget to win the IC title off the guy who he won his first title from.

Work or not, Miz made great points. He always gets shat on for his ring work - for not being as exciting as those Indy guys; something that Daniel Bryan always points out. Miz fired back with the heat, and I loved it. Miz has always been top 5-10 on the mic and this just reaffirmed that fact.

Clearly a work, but a great segment.

They are both right. Miz works a very safe style that comes off pretty soft for the most part. He has very little to no power in his moves and isn't the most athletic. Daniel Bryan did have a style that leads to more injuries because it is very high energy. With that being said, fans are way more likely to react to Bryan's style over the Miz because it is exciting and looks more legit. Bryan always came off as more of a main eventer than Miz because his style included more hard hitting moves and included some element of realism. It is also funny when people bring up the Indy stuff. They act like there is another way to filter talent into the WWE. You have the indies and Japan, that is it. There isn't a long list of former football players lining up and ready to step into a ring. People act like CM Punk and Daniel Bryan led to this Indy revolution, but in reality it was just the most logical step.

Honestly one of the best promos i've seen since Punk's pipebomb. Shame it didnt happen on the main show. Miz has always been a great talker and i've always thought his in ring work was better than most people said it was. He's not great in the ring, but when paired with the right person he can put on a really good match.
