Charlie M. Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 We have all be talking about how good Smackdown has been lately. Well didnt one of the top writers from NXT recently get promoted to the main crew? Perhaps he and HHH have been working more with Smackdown in the lead up to the supposed brand split we might be getting? Shane runs Raw with the main crew. Triple H and Steph run Smackdown with the "B Team and NXT guys" Doesn't really fit the storyline, though. Shane's promise for RAW is basically to push new talent whereas The Authority squash anyone you get behind. Also, given how much they still overreact to RAW ratings, I can't see a scenario where they no longer trot out HHH and Stephanie on RAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 They've even said on commentary that if Shane wins the HIAC match, he'll "gain control of RAW and WWE". If you control RAW, you control the entire promotion, let's be frank here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you control RAW, you control the entire promotion, let's be frank here. Could always have Shane on post mania Raw tell Steph/Trip/Vince that even thou he's in charge of Raw now he thinks competition is a good thing (unlike Vince) so he will let them have Smackdown but they have to agree that no Smackdown wrestlers can show up on Raw unless they are sick and tired of how there being treated and want to work for him.

If you control RAW, you control the entire promotion, let's be frank here. There's no need to be frank. During Shane's return, Vince explicitly said Shane wanted Raw because that means he would control the whole WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During Shane's return, Vince explicitly said Shane wanted Raw because that means he would control the whole WWE. Yeah, but clearly that particular phrasing will open up some kind of loophole in the future, otherwise he could have just said "I want control of the WWE".

NikoBaltimore Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I was shocked there weren't any of these for Dean's matches in MM. And hey, how fucking awesome that AJ and Owens are main eventing SD? Who'd have thought that'd be a thing even half a year ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 * The Social Outcasts come to the ring and hold the show up until Ambrose arrives from his night of huffing paint. Ambrose destroys them all and clears the ring with a board he found in an alley with a nail in it. Ambrose cut a promo on Brock Lesnar's SmackDown return next week, saying he will see him there after Hornswaggle resurrects from his tuna can lid death to transport him to Hornswaggle's home planet, Boston. This is fun. It's like Mad Libs! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie M. Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Smackdown was pretty good this week. AJ and Owens had a good backstage segment. Ziggler/Miz had a heck of a match. Ziggler actually used his amateur wrestling. They played off their recent matches with the quick roll up pins. Becky crushed the women's segment and had the best line on Sasha. Charlotte's turning into the best person for the other women to be chasing. Owens/Styles was a great tease for them to have a PPV match. Not a big fan of the finish but it's what they do all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamal Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I agree that Becky killed that Diva's segment with the "dollar store jewelry" line. And every week just proves how wasted Charlotte was as a face. She's such a natural heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Becky took no prisoners tonight. She nailed her promo. I thought Roman's promo was solid, too. Short and to the point, and in full I'm whupping your ass every chance I get while on your dime mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I caught the last half of the main event, and my god was Lawler putrid on commentary. There's no possible way they can justify keeping him around any longer. Graves is ready and if they do a brand split post Mania King needs to be shown the door.

Fallacy! Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I caught the last half of the main event, and my god was Lawler putrid on commentary. There's no possible way they can justify keeping him around any longer. Graves is ready and if they do a brand split post Mania King needs to be shown the door. I keep reading on Twitter that Lawler is so much better now that he's back to being a "heel" announcer, but I don't really get it. The only difference in his "work" is that he does his high-pitched shriek when the babyfaces are on offense now, instead of the heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notoriusvig Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I like Lawler much better now. He isn't quite back to his 90's heel days but he is becoming way more refreshing than the last several years. I have no earthly clue why Saxton is there as I think he just adds clutter. Mauro and Lawler are perfect with this dynamic and Saxton adds nothing, and he's boring. I'm starting to think I should be watching more of this show as it just seems really low-key and simple, compared to RAW. I only really caught Reigns and the Owens/AJ match, from Hulu, but maybe I should catch more of the show. Reigns is awful and boring when he speaks and I'm starting to really sour on the guy. I used to think he had some potential but now I just think he is boring and I'm not sure I'd even enjoy a heel turn. Owens/AJ was pretty short but nice, and you just know those two are gonna work together a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ping Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Since Kalisto got the pin on Connor during Main Event, and the announcers kinda played up that he can hang in there with bigger men, I can only assume we'll see more Kalisto vs Goliath match ups in the next weeks. As a parallel, I'd absolutely love to see Ryback take on small jobbers and make a big fuss about how he's prepping for Kalisto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
