Best and worst of SmackDown Live: 15 August, 2017

#2 Worst: Absolutely terrible promos

There were three examples of bad promos, this week!

While Jinder Mahal seems to have slightly improved on the microphone as compared to usual, there are others on the rosters who are still not there. Primary among them is Shinsuke Nakamura, who really should get someone to speak for him. English is not his native language, and even his histrionics cannot save him from sounding very strange indeed.

Tamina Snuka is yet another glaring example of how not to cut promos, making her program with Lana seem rather tepid. Lana is almost shooting on Tamina, when she tells her people don't really notice her. She really needs to step it up in the promo game.

Unfortunately, Tamina's tag team partner Naomi is just as bad. She was on commentary this week, and it was obvious that she is not nearly as good on the microphone as she is, inside the ropes.
