I will be watching for A New Day. Main should be good and it's a good sign that they actually followed up an angle from Monday with Bryan forcing Rusev to defend his title in a battle royal.

[Overly Critical Man]

That's how you debut A New Day? That's not a promising start.

[Casey]

That's how you debut A New Day? That's not a promising start.

It's almost like you expected them to get a push or something. It's just another jobber stable.

[Phantom Lord]

Well the real debut is on RAW next week. Smackdown is like a broadway preview. Rave reviews but no one probably will see it.

 

So since Bryan was guest GM does this mean Smackdown will get it's own GM to compete with the omnipresent one on RAW? Someone has to make those tag matches you know.

[RIPPA]

Participants in the Battle Royal were

 

 

Participants included Rusev, Miz, Sandow, Show, Erick Rowan, Jack Swagger (w/Zeb Colter), Titus O'Neil, Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Stardust, Goldust, Justin Gabriel, Sin Cara, Adam Rose, Tyson Kidd, Diego, Fernando, Cesaro, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso.

 

Order of elimination (supposedly)

 

 

Rough order of elimination: Gabriel first, then Cara, Axel, Slater, Rose, Los Matadores, Show, Rowan, Miz, so Mizdow eliminated himself, Stardust and Goldust, one of the Usos, O'Neil, and the other Uso to arrive at a Final Four of Cesaro, Rusev, Kidd, and Swagger. Kidd was eliminated, then Cesaro, then Swagger, and Rusev is still champion.

A NEW DAY

[Dog]

Is this "New Day" gimmick as racist as I think it is?

[Nice Guy Eddie]

Is this "New Day" gimmick as racist as I think it is?

Well, it is WWE. So, I'd say yes.

[Infinit]

They need to trash the gimmick like what Dustin did with Seven in WCW and reform The New Nation.

[Matt D]

I hope we get months of six mans though.

Wait, what's wrong with debuting new guys in a squash match?

[JCM]

Funny that they beat a team with Titus on it who's the only guy that would make me take this group seriously if he were in it. Titus did excellent work in NXT against Zayn and Neville.

Well there's always room for more. Wasn't there talk/rumors that Mark Henry would be the  a member or leader of this proposed group?

I assume it's debuting them on Smackdown, the clear B show, that is the issue.

What exactly is their gimmick anyway? It hasn't really been well defined.

Being the holiday season, the WWE has clearly formed a stable to promote sensible, healthy eating during this time of gluttony.

 

[Cobra Commander]

So Titus joining New Day means we can get months of New Day vs Slater, Axel and Matadores 8 man matches? Or maybe 10 man tags after Hornswoggle turns and joins New Day?

Southern, black, megachurch deacons from outer space.

Also, WWE doing a gimmick that's only as racist as I think it is is probably an improvement.  I generally expect to be surprised by how stereotypically racist some of their gimmicks are.

[Nice Guy Eddie]

There's plenty of time for New Day to turn stereotypically racist.

[Cristobal]

It's not like New Nation would've been any LESS racist.

[Ryan]

Big E's father is a preacher isn't he? Maybe it was his idea.

That's what I was thinking too. Black guys in wrestling are either angry or dancers. That's one reason (among many others) that I really liked Ron Simmons in the APA. He was a fairly laid back guy who drank beer with his redneck buddy and they kicked ass for money.
