Smackdown – September 19, 2017
September 19, 2017 by Thomas Hall
Location: Oracle Arena, Oakland, California
Commentators: Tom Phillips, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton
I'm getting used to this idea of having title matches booked in advance of the TV shows. This time around we have the US Title on the line as AJ Styles defends against Baron Corbin, who said he was answering this week's Open Challenge in advance. And there's that whole Kevin Owens attempting to murder Vince McMahon deal. Let's get to it.
We open with a recap of the ending of last week's show with Owens destroying Mr. McMahon in a heck of a beatdown.
Here's Shane McMahon to open things up. He calls his father one salty SOB, which is really not a nice thing to say about your grandmother. Last week Shane sat with his kids and watched his father and their grandfather get the beating of a lifetime. Shane talks about the family's toughness and condemns him to a beating of a lifetime inside the Cell.
Randy Orton vs. Aiden English
English sings about Orton hearing voices in his head because it's full of lead. Orton wastes no time by hitting the powerslam in the first minute but Aiden slips out of the hanging DDT. They head outside with English dropping him onto the announcers' table as we take a break. Back with Orton fighting out of a chinlock but getting dropkicked right back down. English goes to the second rope….and dives right into the RKO for the pin at 7:10.
Rating: C-. I could go for more of English getting in some offense as the singing character is something that could get him a nice little run. It's not like they have anything else going on so give it a try. Orton is likely going to continue his "feud" with Rusev, which will hopefully last longer than fifteen seconds next time.
Post match here's Rusev to talk about Orton turning his homecoming into a national disgrace. Rusev is going to change things right now….and let's ring the bell.
Rusev vs. Randy Orton
English distracts Orton and it's a superkick to end Orton at 11 seconds. I WAS KIDDING ABOUT THE FIFTEEN SECONDS THING!!! That sounds like payback for what happened at Summerslam, which is still a dumb idea, especially if Orton wins in a long match at the pay per view. Just give Rusev a win or two that matters and things will be better, not just having this stuff that means nothing more than a fluke.
Rusev is very excited with the win and says he'll return home as a conquering hero.
Here are Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers to make fun of Shinsuke Nakamura's face again, including his mad and artistic faces. Mahal makes fun of Nakamura's voice and hair, followed by some Mr. Miyagi jokes. Fans: "THAT'S TOO FAR!" We get some Punjabi and that's about it. Aside from probably being racist, this showed that these two have nothing to say to each other and are only fighting because one of them has the title.
Nakamura says it won't be so funny when he wins the title.
Here's AJ Styles for his title defense but before the match, AJ says Kevin has bitten off more than he can chew. He attacked the man who is responsible for all of us being here tonight. As for Corbin, AJ is tired of him trying to short cut his way everywhere. The big bad wolf can huff and puff but he'll never blow down the house that AJ Styles built.
US Title: AJ Styles vs. Baron Corbin
Styles is defending but Corbin jumps him during the Big Match Intros. Tye Dillinger runs in to jump Corbin though and hurts his ankle. AJ is up for a running forearm and the Calf Crusher on the bad leg. No match of course and we'll just wait on the announcement for the match being moved to the pay per view.
Post break, Corbin isn't happy.
Here's Charlotte for the first time in a good while. She's been gone for about six weeks while her father has been healing up and he is making a comeback. Since she's been gone, Charlotte has learned how fragile life is and from now on she's going to make the most of every moment she can.
Cue Natalya to says he's here to host the first ever Celebration of Women. There's a covered up picture put up behind Natalya as she talks about how important women have been to the world. The picture is unveiled and of course it's of Natalya herself. Charlotte likes the picture and says she's coming for the title. This brings out Becky Lynch to say the title is coming back to its proper owner.
Now it's Naomi to call Natalya a crazy cat lady and throw her glowing hat into the title hunt. Hang on a second though as it's Tamina and Lana interrupting because this company has no idea how to book a women's division aside from just throwing everyone into one match. Natalya leaves and says she's not a crazy cat lady but here's Daniel Bryan to make the multi-woman match to crown a new #1 contender for later tonight.
New Day vs. Hype Bros
Non-title with the Usos on commentary. Mojo grabs an abdominal stretch on Big E. but gets sent outside for a break less than a minute in because we can't break ten minutes of wrestling on this show. Back with Kofi in trouble in the corner until Mojo misses a charge into the post. The hot tag brings in Big E., who misses the hip swivel Warrior Splash. Ryder adds the middle rope dropkick and the Broski Boot for two. Kofi hits the running dive over the top onto Mojo, leaving Ryder to take the Midnight Hour for the pin at 6:26. Not enough shown to rate but this was entertaining while it lasted.
We look at the Vince beatdown again.
Owens joins us live via satellite and apologizes (fans aren't cool with that) for what happened last week. He apologizes to the WWE Universe and to the McMahon Family, but Shane had this coming. This is all on Shane, who drove Owens to do what he did last week. Last week, Owens was looking at Shane when he attacked Vince. He has one more apology and it's to anyone who watches the pay per view. What he did to Vince is nothing compared to what's going to do to Shane. It's good that they're going to Hell because people like Owens don't go to Heaven.
Mojo says he's tired of losing and something has to change.
Here's Dolph Ziggler for his usual stuff: he's the best in-ring performer ever and entrances don't mean anything. First up it's HHH, which means he can run NXT now, even if he's not wearing mom jeans. Ziggler looks upset and says stop the show. That means Heartbreak Ziggler with Dolph saying he can feel himself losing his smile. The last one is the DX entrance, complete with the glow sticks. Ziggler's two words for you: WHO CARES? He wants to know who is supposed to care about two dads trying to sell you stuff. Ziggler is the best ever and the fans couldn't care less.
Naomi vs. Charlotte vs. Tamina vs. Becky Lynch
The winner gets Natalya at the pay per view. It's a brawl to start and we're on a break less than a minute in. Back with Charlotte and Becky breaking up a near fall before fighting each other. Becky kicks her in the ribs but Naomi crossbodies both of them for two on Lynch. Naomi grabs a Stunner for two on Charlotte as Natalya is watching in the back.
The reverse Rings of Saturn is broken up and it's Becky grabbing the Disarm-Her. Tamina breaks that up as well but gets sent into the post. Becky's bouncing kick in the corner is broken up and Charlotte spears Tamina down. She plants Naomi too and the moonsault hits both of them for a double near fall.
The Figure Four goes on but Becky dives in with a legdrop for the save. Tamina is back in with a Samoan drop on Becky and the Superfly Splash for two with Naomi making the save this time. Lana pulls Naomi outside but the distraction lets Charlotte kick Tamina in the face for the pin and the title shot at 9:57.
Rating: B-. This was good while it lasted and would have been better if we didn't miss about a fourth of it for the sake of a commercial. Charlotte or Becky winning was fine here and they would have been a bit nuts to not go with Charlotte, especially with the book coming out and her dad's health. It was a fast paced match though and that's what this show needed.
Overall Rating: D+. This one ENTIRELY depends on how you care for your show. The big problem on this show is very simple: there was less than twenty five minutes of wrestling in two hours with about ten of that taking place during commercials. That's terribly low, even by WWE standards. Based on that, it's a horrible show.
However, this show was much more about hyping up the pay per view and I could get behind the idea of a show that gives away less action on the unimportant shows and saves it for the pay per views. On top of that I'm more interested in the pay per view than I was coming into this week, which is quite the step up. This show certainly isn't for everyone but I liked the change of direction and you can see a lot more stuff added to the pay per view from here. It had a lot of negatives (low in-ring time, the Mahal stuff, Rusev/Orton) but the change of pace was very nice for a little switch.
Randy Orton b. Aiden English – RKO
Rusev b. Randy Orton – Superkick
New Day b. Hype Bros – Midnight Hour to Ryder
Charlotte b. Naomi, Tamina and Becky Lynch – Big boot to Tamina

They are ivies. A fourth plant seems to be still alive, although agonizing.
What kind of plants are they?
By the way, three of them have survived.
I'm doing it right now! But for one of them there is no hope... well, it's (it was) actually just 1/2 potato with some sprouts.
Did you breathe life into them, Pro?

In the 1920s and 1930s, anybody who was anybody tried to figure out how to rid the world of war. Collectively, I'd say they got three-quarters of the way to an answer. But from 1945 to 2014, they've been ignored when possible (which is most of the time), laughed at when necessary, and on the very rare occasions that require it: attacked.
What a flock of idiots the leading thinkers of a generation all must have been. World War II happened. Therefore, war is eternal. Everyone knows that.
But slavery abolitionists pushed on despite slavery happening another year, and another year. Women sought the right to vote in the next election cycle following each one they were barred from. Undoubtedly war is trickier to get rid off, because governments claim that all the other governments (and any other war makers) must go first or do it simultaneously. The possibility of someone else launching a war, combined with the false notion that war is the best way to defend against war, creates a seemingly permanent maze from which the world cannot emerge.
But difficult is far too easily distorted intoimpossible. War will have to be abolished through a careful and gradual practice; it will require cleaning up the corruption of government by war profiteers; it will result in a very different world in just about every way: economically, culturally, morally. But war will not be abolished at all if the meditations of the abolitionists are buried and not read.
Imagine if children, when they'd just gotten a bit too old for Winnie the Pooh and we're becoming old enough to read serious arguments, were told that A.A. Milne also wrote a book in 1933-1934 called Peace With Honour. Who wouldn't want to know what the creator of Winnie the Pooh thought of war and peace? And who wouldn't be thrilled to discover his wit and humor applied in all seriousness to the case for ending the most horrific enterprise to remain perfectly acceptable in polite society?
Now, Milne had served as a war propagandist and soldier in World War I, his 1934 view of Germany as not really wanting war looks (at least at first glance) ludicrous in retrospect, and Milne himself abandoned his opposition to war in order to cheer for World War II. So we can reject his wisdom as hypocrisy, naiveté, and as having been rejected by the author. But we'd be depriving ourselves of insight because the author was imperfect, and we'd be prioritizing the ravings of a drunk over statements made during a period of sobriety. Even the ideal diagnostician of war fever can sound like a different man once he's contracted the disease himself.
Milne debates popular arguments for war and comes back again and again to ridiculing it as a foolish cultural choice dressed up as necessary or inevitable. Why, he asks, do Christian churches sanction mass murder by bombing of men, women, and children? Would they sanction mass conversion to Islam if it were required to protect their country? No. Would they sanction widespread adultery if population growth were the only path to defense of their country? No. So why do they sanction mass murder?
Milne tries a thought experiment to demonstrate that wars are optional and chosen by individuals who could choose otherwise. Let us suppose, he says, that an outbreak of war would mean the certain and immediate death of Mussolini, Hitler, Goering, Goebbels, Ramsay MacDonald, Stanley Baldwin, Sir John Simon, one unnamed cabinet minister chosen by lot on the day war is declared, the ministers responsible for the military, Winston Churchill, two unnamed Generals, two unnamed Admirals, two unnamed directors of armaments firms chosen by lot, Lords Beaverbrook and Rothermere, the editors of The Times and The Morning Post, and corresponding representatives of France. Would there, in this situation, ever be a war? Milne says definitely not. And therefore was is not "natural" or "inevitable" at all.

Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Introduces A 4-Minute Commercial With The Beloved Movie Alien – ET For Satellite, Cable And Broadband Products
Kyle Landeck
Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) launched a four-minute-long commercial on Thursday for its satellite, broadband, and cable products with a movie Alien – ET. The alien sees Elliot during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC of Comcast. Henry Thomas, who did the same several years back, played the character.
ET brings the same joy to people
According to a communiqué from Henry, the new ad provides the same beauty of the original without any messy bits to the audience filling their hearts and the mind with joy. The Philadelphia entertainment giant wants to use the 4-minute long ad for its commercial needs.
Omnicom Group's Goodby brings ET back to earth
Comcast has hired Silverstein, Goodby of Omnicom Group, and partners to develop the new ad and display the ET again on this earth in the front yard of Elliot. The family of Elliot teaches ET how to browse the web with the help of Comcast's Xfinity and how to use the remote control to show the holiday movies on the TV's large screen. ET helps the kids of Elliot how to fly on their bicycles. Kids offer ET a nice cheese and ice cream, and ET readily devours, making you astonished. The audience will have an urge to reconnect with the holidays prompted by a nice graphic on the screen.
Senior Vice President (Marketing Communications) of Comcast Cable, Peter Intermaggio, said the main aim of the company is to display Sky Technology, and Xfinity connects friends, family, and loved ones. It is a necessary feature for the holidays. He further said the friendship between Elliott and ET resonates worldwide, and their story helps to bring the consumer technology of Comcast to life. CFO and Senior Vice President of Comcast, Mike Cavanagh, will take part in the UBS Global TMT Conference.
End-to-end call verification
Comcast, along with Inteliquent and T-Mobile introduced an end-to-end STIR/SHAKEN call verification process, a first of its kind to fight spammers, and spoofers, across the three networks. President (Technology, Products, and Xperience) of Comcast, Tony Werner, said the company developed a technology to ensure that Xfinity customers only answer legitimate calls.

Because of this, we planned a system to transform marc into high-added-value by-products like grapeseed, cold processed grapeseed oil (without using acids), flour for food use (gluten free), bioactive compounds (polyphenols, resveratrol, anthocyanins, procyanidins, quercetin, catechin) and pellets (to be used for the production of steam and electricity).
•	In-house expertise on conservation techniques (inert gases [N2, Argon] and SO2).
Furthermore, our products, thanks indeed to our more efficient processes, can be put on the market at lower prices than the equivalent quality products our competitors make. Our processing plants are located in Latina (a city near Rome) in a modern and spacious headquarters.


Speakers at the first serviced-apartments summit in the U.S. considered the many similarities—as well as differences—of serviced apartments and traditional hotels.
NEW YORK—The first Serviced Apartment Summit Americas came at a time one speaker called a "defining moment" for that sector after AccorHotels' recent purchase of Onefinestay. Sources said that sale demonstrates what some see as the convergence of the hospitality and serviced apartment (or "corporate housing") industries.
A recurring theme of the conference was the blurring of the serviced apartment and hotel industries when it comes to product and distribution.
That blurring is a natural reaction for consumers, according to Andrew McConnell, CEO of Rented.com, which manages short-term rental properties.
There are still differences between traditional hotels and serviced apartments, including definitions, audience and marketing.
Sometimes those definitions are unclear even within the segment, speakers said.
TJ Barring, president of JNB Group—which holds commercial real estate in the U.S. and India—said that consistencies in definitions and even rating systems would benefit serviced apartment providers, especially when they're competing with branded hotels for the same guests.
The two groups also differ when it comes to audience and length of stay.
David Redfern, president of WaterWalk Apartments, said he sees a hybrid of serviced apartments and hotels as a profitable option, and a model in place at WaterWalk.
Chain-scale segment is another place where extended-stay hotels and serviced apartments differ. While serviced apartments generally sit on the higher end of the chain scale, there is a strong economy category for extended stay that fills a specific need, speakers said.
Jon Pertchik, CEO of InTown Suites, said the outlook for economy extended stay is good.
Pertchik said his company is even considering using more European terminology to describe its properties.
While the hotel industry has long sought to deal with multiple distribution channels, especially online travel agencies, the growing serviced-apartment sector finds itself facing similar challenges.
Serviced-apartment operators face the same OTA struggles as traditional hoteliers do.
Westwell said that two-thirds of browsers on Expedia and Booking.com have been to the hotel's website but think it's cheaper to book on the OTAs.
To get around the OTAs, Pertchik said InTown Suites is building an app to help develop personal relationships with guests. He said some believe that in a few years there will be no websites, but only apps.
Just like in the hotel industry, some in the serviced apartment sector are wary about sharing-economy lodgings.
Still, shared-accommodations providers like Airbnb might pose a threat down the road to extended-stay hotels and serviced-apartment providers that have strong business/travel mix.
Serviced apartments are planting roots in places where even big domestic hotel brands have only begun to venture in a significant way.
Barring, for example, turned his sights to India.
Africa is home to other emerging markets that don't all necessarily have established traditional hotel footprints yet, which leaves room for serviced apartments.
Paul Constantinou, chairman of Quest Apartment Hotels in Australia, said succeeding in the serviced apartment sector has always been a struggle.
Adhering to local regulations is something that non-traditional lodging companies are increasingly having to overcome.
"You can shut down a Napster, but you can't keep knocking down all the 'whack-a-moles' in lodging that are appearing because the market is there," McConnell said.
Parker Stanberry, CEO of Oasis Collections, said the industry needs the appropriate amount of governance.
I'm not easily imepsrsed but you've done it with that posting.

The program for the older kids included discussions about The Commandments and Morality, they had Adoration and confessions. Thank-you to Father Kollasch, Father John Thomas and Father Ed for daily mass and confessions, to Ellen Gatton and Virginia Schulte who provided music for the daily Mass, to the 6 high school kids and the adults who helped out in the classroom, to The Patti & Kelly Thilges family and Pete & Gaylene who housed the team, to the many who provided lunch and dinner for the team and to everyone who donated snacks and drinks.
