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 a Vince coke break. fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I don't agree with Nice Guy Eddie. It's highly unlikely that Vince takes coke breaks. He probably gets coked out while working. He's a genetic jackhammer, dammit, he doesn't need breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Well I guess it makes sense to split up the Lucha Dragons if they are starting a Cruiserweight division, because according to the WWE.com weights, there are only 6 crusierweights on the current roster under the 205 limit. Enzo Kalisto Sin Cara Neville Tyson Kidd Xavier Woods Clearly we are in need of RAW IS SAEZ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Is Tyler Breeze not a cruiserweight? I'm actually hoping they use the division to give him something do aside from Breezango. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I suspect they won't be as strict on the weight limit in the Cruiserweight Division as they are for the CWC. If they wanna have Tyler Breeze in the division, they'll do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 He's listed at 212. There's a lot of guys in the 210-220 range that I'm sure will being losing some weight soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 20 hours ago, RIPPA said: 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 If Steph took all the New Day, she can't force Big E to not be their friends/partners. But if they're gone, Big E has no choice but to be singles. .....I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the current champ is listed at 225, and I'm pretty sure they won't want their cruisweight champion weighing more than the World Champion so I don't think they'll be fudging it too much.

Wyld Samurai Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 So they're separating both Bryan AND Mauro from the Cruisers. We will be stuck with JBL talking about anything but the match. That just doesn't make sense on any level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo~! Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Looking forward to JBL comparing cruiserweights to Hansen and Brody as they're flying around the ring. Do you wonder if JBL is like that in all other aspects of his life? "How did you enjoy your meal tonight Mr Layfield?" "It reminded me of the great Stan Hansen! What a lariat!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I'm beginning to think that they should have put the NXT Women's Championship on Nia Jax at The End and just called Asuka and Bayley up. Bayley really should go be booked into oblivion on the main show by now because she's just been down too long and she feels bigger than NXT at this point in the same way that Nakamura and Bálor and Joe do. NXT is looking pretty gutted at the moment considering that Alpha, Balor, and probably at least two women are going up. They've really taken their sweet time getting some of the new signees on screen. Athena should have been on screen and being built up months ago, and guys like...**sigh**...Oney Lorcan should have been getting more consistent pushes too.

jstout Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 It's amazing to me that you have guys who aren't particularly out of shape to begin with who may be cutting weight to fit under a weight limit in a worked sport. I see weight limits in UFC. I don't agree with a lot of the cutting philosophies, but I see the use of weight classes. They should up that 205 for cruisers by 15 pounds. Or they could go whole-hog and institute a height limit also and assign Dean Malenko as commissioner of the spinoff VMWF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 NXT is just in a weird place, if it was still just a training facility with a small weekly show, then losing all their big wrestlers wouldn't matter since that is what is supposed to happen. But now that they are a touring brand and have several big events a year in larger arenas, they can't afford to lose all of their most popular wrestlers. They could just take a step back and hope that some of their new wrestlers are a hit with the crowd, but if a wrestler is ready (no matter who it is) hopefully they won't hold them back just because they don't want to lose great wrestlers from being on NXT. They had good luck last time (they lost Sasha, Owens, Zayn, and Charlotte but gained Asuka, Nakamura, Joe, and Balor), all they can hope is the next 'class' also connects with the crowd and keeps the cycle going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 A fun look back at drafts. Always some good pops for the big picks. Looking forward to tonight's, hoping it turns out similar to the best years of the original split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyld Samurai Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I look at NXT as to what ECW was supposed to be. A great venue to grow the youngsters and still have some top solid names to carry the brand. A fantastic spot to cycle acts out of RAW and Smackdown to keep them fresh... If they put any thought into this... the WWE could easily have their own mini territory system set up. Would keep rivalries fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I can't think of any in story reason why Smackdown wouldn't take one of the 3 guys in the WWE title match with their first pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
