Best and Worst of WWE Smackdown - 30th August, 2016

4- The return of Kane

What could be worse than being caught with your pants down, in front of Kane?

A lot of the Smackdown roster lacks legitimate senior workers, who can put over younger talent to make them relevant. And the tease of a feud between Kane and Baron Corbin can truly achieve that. Well, as opposed to a 50-50 feud with Kalisto, which helps neither competitor really. And hey, if you think he’s outdated, at least it’s not Corporate Kane.

THE BAD: And yes, there were things we hated about the show. And that’s putting it mildly.

1- The Ads

A Bray Wyatt segment or an ad for rocking chairs? We’re not sure

There were so many ads throughout this week’s show, that every time we began to get invested in a segment, we would break into commercials. To the point where we had to restart and refocus, every time that we came back from breaks.

And hence, the show really felt watered down. We realize that ads are a good source of revenue, but when they’re affecting your show’s eventual quality and output, they are a big problem.
