WWE Discussion thread- Raw/SD/PPV

[Gurds]

Big Dave on WOR: "Vince is really pumped up, is filled with ideas. As far as talent goes [...] I would expect [...] a lot of very aggressive going after a lot of talent that is not in WWE now, because [...] they need every talent to fill two separate rosters" + enough talent for NXT.

Situation right now: They are going back where they were e.g. 2 World titles, IC title on one, US title on the other show, Women's situation unclear

[BestRCs]

They should have the tag teams on one show and have the women's division on the other.

And not have that silly "draft" every year.

Id like to see it where wrestlers are synonymous with a brand.

[CharlieHustle]

As opposed to thinking about who gets drafted to each show, let's just cut to the chase:
Who does everyone think the champion of Smackdown will be?

Or is it just a foregone conclusion that Cena and Reigns will be champs of their respective shows?

[Pot Roast]

i actually like the draft.

I absolutely, 100%, think they SHOULD still hold a draft every year, IMO it's important to keep the matchups and title chases fresh.

However, just like in real sports, they should have an actual draft. They should have a small committee from each show (writers, creative, agents, etc) get together and actually draft wrestlers to each show.

Also, I love the idea of tag teams on one show and women on the other. That way the divisions don't get watered down and you dont have to introduce more meaningless belts.

Meltzer on WOR:
- Reigns will headline RAW
- Cena will be on Smackdown
- no plan where Lesner will go
- Chance for two champions is pretty strong
- Smackdown group will tour Saturday - Tuesday including Monday
- If ratings drop significantly this could already be over in two months



Pollock on MLW:
The Smackdown GM will not be a McMahon, but that could always change

Also, update on Banks

[GoldStandard000]

I hope they just keep 1 champion and just have him go show to show. A 2nd belt already makes that one secondary. I'll never view it as anything but second rate if they introduce it.

[jmarascojr]

My thought is Lesnar will end up on Raw, he won't go to the "B" show.

My hope is that they do not break up factions and tag teams, for example New Day and the Wyatt Family all get drafted as one.

Not a fan of two world champions...
If you do that, shouldn't you have two women's champions and two tag champions?

One of each, can be on either show.

Did Meltzer say anything about PPVs?
Are they gonna go back to one Raw based, one being Smackdown based, with the 4 main PPVs being both?

[Gurds]

HHH tweeted that Takeover will be called Takeover: The End

[byronscott4ever]

They could designate any part-timer into some category that lets them show up wherever and whenever they want, basically what Lesnar is doing now

I think both Becky and Sasha are injured...

they made such a big deal of creating a WWE "WOrld" Heavyweight championship can they even bring back the other one now?

The Rock got big by being on Smackdown - or stayed big....

Well after the brand split NXT will be raided to the point of being bone thin, that these specials may not be that special anymore. Granted all it takes is bringing in a few indie guys to replace Joe, Balor, American Alpha, etc. and their good again.

[Ty Hope]

Imagine Reigns and Cena as the two champs.lol
The ultimate f-u to the fans

Corey Graves is excellent on commentary, but I think WWE is missing the boat not using him as a manager. He can talk and he has a good look. He could easily represent a stable of younger heels, kinda like The Heenan Family in the 80's. The Heenan Family worked for Hogan, it could easily work again.

Anyone see the "Hatch" tweets?

Here are the images with the shadows removed.

updated:
Upon future inspection, looks like someone was trying to break into a garage that is built into a cliff (?!?)... You can see the "KE" on the door in both photos (KEEP OUT?)

[JMG318]

There are face In those rocks. Or I'm seeing things

[JMG318]

[sthoemke]

Theories so far:

1) It is The Gobbledy Gooker

2) It is the "hatching" of Finn Balor

3) It is Jessica Hatch (former Divas search contestant), upcoming female member of the Wyatt Family
