SmackDown Live LD, March 19th 2019 - The Ballad of Kofi Kingston

Vince McMahon's inspiration confirmed

Last week's SmackDown had about four good-to-great talking segments. Shane McMahon being fed up of helping others, AJ Styles/Randy Orton debating home ownership, Becky Lynch/Charlotte revisiting their greatest hits and finally, and most importantly, Big E., Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Vince McMahon providing an endless supply of empathy and emotion in the closing segment. Seriously, check it out below:

Preach E. Preach Woods. Preach Kofi.

Tonight, Kofi Kingston features an insurmountable task as he continues his journey en-route to a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania. Tonight he cases Sheamus, Cesaro, Rowan, Samoa Joe and Randy Orton in a gauntlet match that will open tonight's broadcast. If he can overcome this pentagon of pain, he will face Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at Metlife Stadium. Fail, and the dream dies. Kofi made a name for himself a month ago in a similar situation, but couldn't ultimately get the job done. Can he now, with no safety net, and no second chance, can he overcome impossible, insurmountable odds and become the number one contender to the most prestigious championship in all WWE? Time will tell, but by God I've not wanted anything more from my wrestling in a long, long time. Please Kofi! Please!

In the Gauntlet, Kevin Owens;


helps Kofi defeat one of his foes.
is not a factor at all.
is a suprise 6th opponent.


Which do you think?

EDIT: Nope, nevermind, the KO Show is back with Charlotte and Becky.

[klunderbunker]

So the gauntlet match was announced as opening the show. Ok, cool. Well now it's Miz and Shane starting. It doesn't make a difference what opens the show, but why in the world can this company not keep their plans straight for a few days? If you're that unsure, why make an announcement?

[smarkmouth]

Vince doesn't expect us to remember on-TV story points, I don't think he thinks much of things announced via Twitter.

[smarkmouth]

About eight months ago, I was sure the WWE title match would be heel Miz (c) vs babyface Daniel Bryan. If you told me Miz would be a babyface against Shane I'd have guffawed.

[klunderbunker]

They were friends for like a month.

And throw in that Shane won a title in between.

[smarkmouth]

And throw in that Shane won a title in between. Dunno about this one. If I said Steph will be Women's Champ by SummerSlam, would you doubt it, absolutely?

[klunderbunker]

Not at all, though Shane winning is a bit more ridiculous.

[smarkmouth]

What are we thinking for the Women's tag titles at Mania? Defending against representatives from all brands (with Beth and Nattie as "Legends")?

[smarkmouth]

Us: "BOO! GO AWAY LACEY."
Lacey: "Yes."
Us: "YE-- I mean, what?"

[klunderbunker]

Yeah, as annoying as it may be.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I hate the idea that wins and losses don't matter.

[smarkmouth]

Well, Rey vs Joe should be damn good!

[#AbsoluteUnit]

I hate the idea that wins and losses don't matter.

Preach.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Charlotte, Becky, and Ronda vs security is the real feud

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I really want to cheer for Bryan since he's my favorite wrestler, but he's such a great heel that I can't.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

You're much, much better than this sir.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Also, not a fan of the Kevin Owens show.

[smarkmouth]

I feel bad for Cesaro. He's gotta be the flash-knockout in all this, right?

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Completely off-topic: My buddy sent me a video on deadspin of eric angle picking up a wrestler by the neck and slamming him on the mat. Yes Eric Angle, brother of Kurt.

[smarkmouth]

I've been trying to think of how they could fuck this up. This is what I got;

Vince: "You did it Kofi! But I forgot to mention, you have a sixth opponent tonight."
...
...
...
I'M HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD! I'M HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD!

COMEOOOOON!

:lmao:

[smarkmouth]

If it happens KB might ban me for putting that evil in the world.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

But there's 8 minutes left...

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Kofi is UCF and Vince is the playoff committee

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

So it's Daniel Bryan vs Big Show at Mania then.

It’s a Kofi Kingston night as he has to run a gauntlet match to get to the main event of Wrestlemania. In theory, with so few shows left to go before the pay per view, they’ll finally announce the match and let us have a few weeks to build. There’s a lot of other stuff to build on the way there too though and I’m not sure how much time everything else is going to get. Let’s get to it.

Except Kofi is deserving

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Kofi for life.

Screw what you all say.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

That rookie Kingston could go places, I'd give him a few more years to develop first. Let some of the established vets have a crack at the main event, like No Way Jose.
