Gap In Logic With This Week’s Smackdown Broadcast Team (Spoiler)

Richard Gray August 22, 2012 WWE News 16 Comments

Josh Mathews and Santino Marella were the broadcast team for this week’s WWE Saturday Morning Slam taping.

This of course is notable because Mathews wasn’t on Smackdown, because he was selling the kayfabe “injuries” he suffered at the hands of Kane and SummerSlam. This week’s Smackdown broadcast team was Michael Cole and Teddy Long.

As funny as this is, it's sort of hypocritical, because we all know this is entertainment and I would think this website embraces that rather than belittles it (considering the masses wouldn't even pick up on this).

  This website is embracing the entertainment. Richard is pointing out that if they are trying to entertain us by having Kane "attack" Josh Matthews, then having Josh miss Smackdown due to the injuries, that he shouldn't have been able to sit at the announce table for the Saturday morning show. Richard's point is that if the WWE is going to entertain us, they should do it in a logical fashion. It would be like having a talent suffer a broken arm, then show up the next week and wrestle a match without a cast.

Figures. They only care about Raw and Smackdown for their storylines. Superstars, NXT and now Saturday Morning slam are their own thing that they don't even recognize in any way shape or form when it comes to do with theiry main shows Raw and Smackdown.

Just like with the segment with Regal not to long ago about how he is the trash boy. Yet the ignore the fact he was running NXT before and is the announcer on NXT. Or the fact the Maxine (when she was here) was running FCW. They just ignore any of their other programs when it comes to Raw and Smackdown.

  True WNW reported that WWE Took WWE Nxt Of there Site… so it could be repackaged… its a shame when people outside the US and there airing NXT on TV but not in the US

  Ae, it's like "Which one?"

To be honest, I don't really pay attention to the commentary, sometimes its just annoying, but then again if it wasn't there it would be strangely quiet.
