Charlie M. Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I hope they split off Strowman. I may be the only one but I still think there's something there with him if you protect him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristobal Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yeah, pretty much. He's a white Curtis Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I do think the reveal of Strowman's creepy tiny face on his giant head when he takes the mask off is quite a visual. So there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'd be perfectly fine with Braun being the Mountain to Seth's Cersei Lannister. Or put him in a suit and make him Miz's new Head of Security. Hell, the Mr. Hughes bit works for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy! Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 What was the format of the old draft shows? I can't even remember and I can't get on YouTube at work to watch. Is it just two hours of nothing but draft picks? Or is there any wrestling matches mixed in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Varied by whatever rules they were going by. Some of them were just straight up picks by the GM's of each brand. Some of them were done by "random ball selection" lottery style. Some were done where the match outcome determined who got a pick. Followed by the inevitable "MASSIVE SWERVE" at the end where Triple H/Cena/Undertaker/whoever got sent back to the show they got drafted from. I'm noticing that nowhere in the rules does it say that someone who's drafted can't be taken again. So... get ready for that. After the show ends, I'm guessing they'll Facebook Live or get on the WWE Network and show the remaining picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Matches mixed in. Supplemental moves for bottom-feeder-level guys are released afterwards on the internet. Here's hoping that the bulk of the tomorrow's show is KO getting progressively more ticked off because he has yet to be drafted. Cap the angle off with him throwing the biggest tantrum in the history of the business when Sami gets picked before he does. Ideally, we'll get a high-quality 1 Triple H = 2 Dudleys and 1 Booker type of move in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 This is already being handled so fucking terribly. SD! is getting shit on before it begins, the women have no direction, the tag team rule is idiotic. How difficult is it to sit down and work this out? It sounds like they wrote it up on a napkin during lunch break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get both if you just take the team. It's not like the other talent is going to put them over the salary cap. You can do anything you want with the other guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 That's only relevant if it actually happens though, isn't it? Say a GM thought Big E should break out into a stardom, and being in the New Day is holding him back, and are banking on a split with him and Xavier and Kofi is the key to him breaking out into a superstar.

Zakk_Sabbath Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Totally random thought as I'm cooking dinner, but I wish the rumored WCW Nitro/NWO Thunder roster split went through back in 1998, because nothing could make this funnier than Mean Gene doing the old hotline tease as to who goes where.

Yes - but it is still stupid pass up on free guys. As in all drafts - value is king Say in your example - you want Big E to be a mega star - you still draft the whole team because you break them up AFTER and you still have two other guys to do whatever the fuck you want for free. Plus one could argue that you only get the tag titles if you draft the whole team - so again drafting Big E only would be stupid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I know the 1st Draft had Jericho vs. HHH vs. Steph as the main event but don't remember any other matches. I do remember Flair's picks were so dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
