WOL: Did Danhausen put a curse on SmackDown?

Posted on by Jim Valley

It’s the Saturday Wrestling Observer Live with Jim Valley.

It’s WrestleMania season, the build to the biggest show of the year. So why isn’t WWE acting like it? Lackluster promos, subpar wrestling and mediocre comedy. It’s like Danhausen put a curse on SmackDown, too.

Plus, there’s good news for Steve Maclin, TNA Sacrifice, MLP & ROH Global Wars, a new TV show and, in kayfabe, why is Jelly Roll just hanging around Smackdown offering words of inspiration? Is he lonely? A WWE life coach? Going to leave music and write Hallmark cards? Hoping The Vision will notice?

A fun show. Check it out.
