The Man Known as Dan Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It really does scream like they changed a bunch of shit at the last minute and we ended up with this bullshit. It felt like a lot of promos (Owens, Zayn, and Cesaro) had a bit more frustration in it then you would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 35 minutes ago, S.K.o.S. said: The icing on the cake with that Cesaro promo is the graphic saying his WWE debut was in 1999 and he's a 9-time tag champ. It didn't specifically say WWE debut. Claudio had his first professional match in 2000, so you figure that he started training in '99. Between WWE, ROH, Chikara, and CZW; he's a 6 time tag champion. Throw in some Swiss indies w/ Ares and yes, he's a 9 time tag champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trocar Slush Weasel Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Did anybody else see Rusev's promo on the Network show? Has to be one of the promos of the year, "Who's Dean Ambrose? A lunatic with a fridge?" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 45 minutes ago, Matt D said: Ambrose was outdrawing Reigns on top for most of this year, right? I wonder if Orton wouldn't outdraw Reigns at this point (and I like Reigns)? Cena will be around at least part of the time. Babyfaces draw house show audiences. I'd be surprised if SD house shows don't consistently outdraw the Raw ones to be honest. Cena isn't working most of the house shows though. I think that's the major problem with the SD! roster. Cena/Orton are probably part time which is okay for AJ and Dean if they had a good group to work with but for whatever reason guys like Cesaro and Owens are on RAW where it's a pretty stacked roster...

Rev Ray Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm zoning, who is next to Nia that gave her the hug? Also, I wonder if Aries is wearing the mirrored sunglasses so I can catch some z's while people aren't paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm starting to wonder if the draft was more to push Raw as the more workrate show, and Smackdown got the big established names they don't really care that much about. Still ruined by everyone being lost behind Rollins, Reigns, and Lesnar thoug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy! Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm usually one of the first to be critical of present day WWE but all this hand-wringing over the draft is hilarious. I thought it went fine. I honestly don't see any major problems with how it played out and trust me, I was looking for something to complain about. And what's with the bitching about Smackdown? It's got fucking John Cena and Randy Orton. No show with those two (especially Big Match John) will ever be treated as second fiddle. This is truly a "wait and see where this goes" situation if there ever was one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'll work some. Meanwhile, Ambrose outdrawing Reigns. That said, no, I don't know why Cesaro isn't on Smackdown. I could have used him and Henry over there and either Zayn or Owens, sure. And Hype Bros would work better on Raw, but in general, I'm ok with this. Let's see how it plays out for a few weeks first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry more about the small size of certain divisions and what happens if there are injuries. Too many belts and not enough television time for each brand.
