>According to Bodyslam.net, McAfee’s promo during the April 3 episode of SmackDown was delivered completely off script. The situation forced WWE to react on the fly later in the night, with Cody Rhodes being sent out to respond after McAfee’s segment created momentum that wasn’t originally planned.>Reports suggest that Rhodes had been instructed to respond after McAfee’s unscripted moment changed the flow of the show, which may explain the intensity and tone of Rhodes’ promo later in the night.
Mmmm YUMMY WORKED SHOOTS
>>20186259i sincerely hope none of you are worked by this
>>20186259https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExxYJzw4wqg
>>20186259WCW 2000 still going strong
>On SmackDown Live, Pat McAfee did the unimaginable. HE REFUSED TO FOLLOW THE SCRIPT!
>>20186259I'm so sick of worked shoots. When a movie breaks the meta, unless for a good reason like Funny Games or Scream, they're cringy. Yet wrestling writers think they're soooo fucking clever for this hacky bullshit
>>20186259kek wwe still working the dirtsheets with ease
>>20186259>McAfee’s segment created momentum that wasn’t originally planned
>>20186259The Smark News network is seething alreadyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A9VuSUXBCg
Reminder that all the people bitching about worked shoots only know things are worked shoots because they spend all their time reading dirtsheets
This is going to be every WrestleMania season now btw. Worked shoots to get people talking about the main event because their actual stories aren't good, and so they can film more worked shoot bullshit for WWE unreal.
>>20186309that youtube comment section is pure juice of faggotry and smark and marks seethe
>>20186305Agreed. We all know its fake but want to get captivated and swept away with good stories and performers.
enough of the manlets like melo and ijla
>we are shoot in WCW 2000-tier booking
They really need to stop with the celebrity bullshit ASAP
>>20186310This
>>20186259>”SLOPDown sucked, WTF they thinking” - edrone>Quick tell them pat went off script!!! -WWE>”yeah that’s based then if it was a pipe bomb” - edroneIt’s so easy for them
Yeah, momentum of viewers turning their TVs off and clicking refund on their WM tickets KEK WAB
>>20186934It does be like that
>doing shit straight out of 2000 WCWPATBERG REFUSED TO FOLLOW THE SCRIPT
>>20186485You sound worked lil bro It must suck, all these years acting like some sort of wrestling connoisseur only to be worked by HHH of all people
>>20186259He went off script on behalf of Ari. It was a power play and Hunter seethed
>>20186305>Funny GamesBased film
>>20186307>last moments with an unmolested culo blanco
>>20186259YAWN
>>20186307Is that the stiffmeister steve stiffler???
>>20186271This is Ton Khan levels of working the sheets . Grim
>>20186259>>20186276>At Smackdown Pat Mcafee did the unthinkable, he refused to follow the script. Now if Triple H can’t fire Pat he’ll have Cody Rhodes destroy him.
>>20186259>Script is shit>Refuse to follow it>Outcome is still shitkek
kek this is literally late stage WCW
>>20188277Except instead of being the failing, dying company, it's the most financially successful wrestling promotion of all time.
>>20188341Ironic
>>20186259So what was he supposed to say?
>>20188384>worked
>>20186259one of the other things that made this so bad is pat seems like a faggot. him trying to be vicious just didnt work
>>20186259The series of statements ending with "WHEN RANDY ORTON IS AROUND" reek of bad pro wrestling promo writing. He didn't go offscript. He nailed every line of the miserably bad script.They also can't pretend as though McAfee threw the entire production on its head by refusing to go along with the show as planned, and then upload the full unedited segment to their YouTube channel.
>>20186296>>20189013>They also can't pretendthey secretly rehired russo
>>20186307the gamethread for that pic was a top 5 /pw/ moment
>>20189116I don't watch wrestling, what happened?
he called out broniljamelodiyfinnjd ENOUGH WITH THE MANLETS
>>20189243The guy got molested by roxy
>>20186305Funny Games sucked shit. Same as every Haneke film.
>>20186259It sounds like this segment will be at the center of a future episode of Unreal, which has always been a work. I can already see HHH and everyone else's reaction in gorilla: "What's he doing?! That isn't what we planned!" Followed by a furious HHH unloading on McAfee as he storms out of the building. Then we'll get HHH briefing Cody on how to handle the response in the follow-up promo. Russo isn't allowed to shit on any of this on his podcast. I hope he praises the storyline as the work of genius.
>>20189442BRO I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THIS COMIN BRO. IT'S LIKE THEY TOOK IT RIGHT OUTTA MY PLAYBOOK BRO.
Damn we need HHH to teach this guy a lesson. Main event in Mania maybe?
>>20189013This. HHH runs damage control between smackdown and raw and has done so multiple times now.
>>20186305The only reason we know Punks name is because worked shoo5e
Circa Goldberg 2000
>>20189013Except McAfee always talks like that on his podcast
>>20186310We know they're worked shoots because there wasnt an actual shoot on wrestling tv, any fed, in literal years Everything is a work by default until proven otherwise
>>20186259God damn, IWC would have to be retarded to believe this. Maybe IWC is retarded.
>>20189768Like what? Are you referring to his speech pattern? If so, the lines he delivered would have been worked out between him and Creative before showtime. Standard practice. Or are you referring to the view that the WWE as a whole would be more like the Attitude Era if Orton were champion right now? I don't watch McAfee's show, nor does anyone else when Aaron Rodgers isn't on screen, so I wouldn't know.
Watching it back you can see Randy look at him like 'wtf' during some parts, like when he brings up the Attitude Era
>>20189829I’ll admit to watching Pat’s ESPN show live on YouTube over lunch most days. It’s usually an hour in by the time I turn it on, so I pull the slider back to the start and watch him on 1.65x speed. He’s awesome sped up.What’s funny is, watching that Smackdown promo on Friday made me realize I’ve rarely ever heard his natural pace and cadence. He’s not as good at regular speed, lol.
very interesting indeed
>>20186271The only thing I'm worked by is Pat McAfee's faggot ass still being on tv.
>>20186259based
>>20186305Very well said.
>>20186259we're reaching WCW 2000 levels
Sorry folks but how can anything with Randy Orton have any heat in 2026. He has been a boring shitter for nearly 25 years
