steve Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 They're not going to pick up on Rollins/HHH for awhile because it's six months until Mania.

She isn't at RAWs anymore since she is always snapchatting from fashion shows or Hong Kong when RAW is going on Lol, it must suck to be her. I'm really struggling to come up with a reason why Summer would be better off at RAW jobbing to every other woman on the roster in nothing matches.

Yet she's clearly more over than most of the men. What are you talking about? 2
Burgundy LaRue Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Summer's injured, anyway. Let her enjoy her fashion shows. She deserves it after doing the wrestling gods' work in that dreadful love quad angle last year.
Niners Fan in CT Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 RAW will always suffer as long as Steph and other authority figures are all over the show. Absolutely no reason for Mick and Steph to come out last night. The opening promo should have setup the cell match for the women and the mixed tag. No need for a televised confirmation. They do shit like that and then the cruisers get two minutes. The cruisers are the new women. 1

Emma being hurt and Paige getting suspended destroyed any depth the RAW division could have right now but I'm unclear on why Alicia Fox was only used for one match against Nia. Shouldn't she be at least fighting Bayley or Charlotte in semi-competitive squashes?
blitzkrieg Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 It is interesting to see how much Foley/Steph are on Raw compared to Shane/Bryan. There have been episodes of Smackdown where Daniel Bryan only makes appearance on Talking Smack and Shane's appearances come across as notable since he's not on TV weekly.

I mean do they think it was the purple ropes that was key to the CWC being so magical?
Phantom Lord Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Stupid double post. Mick sure has lost a lot of weight. So does this mean DDP Yoga really does work?

I'd rather have more of the women's division than cruiserweight matches. The CWC was great in its own vacuum but trying to fit it into a show where playing a character is more important isn't worth it to me. Kendricks can do it but I don't know if anyone else can. Smackdown should have gotten the cruiserweights and we all know it. 2

NikoBaltimore Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 If they're planning on making the CWC a regular show on the Network then I'm hoping once that starts they can just keep them there. It's much more so they have time and don't have to be "shoehorned" on a 3 hour show (fucking Steph and USA wanting them on TV) Hopefully by the time that happens they get some kind of following that would transfer over to the Network show. If anything that would only mean one match with time on Raw compared to two matches with little time. Besides, keeping them on the Network would mean that Vince won't pitch his out-of-touch ideas to them. Reading about what he supposedly said about them I'm just thinking "GTFOH with that shit"

NikoBaltimore Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Supposedly they started gaining weight because he wanted them to be bigger. And if you believe the rumors he told them to tone down all the flipping and stuff that was done in CWC. I think Meltzer confirmed the former but not sure about the latter. I'd still have them on the network so he doesn't come up with anymore out of touch ideas for them.
Ace Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Meltzer confirmed they're back to using worked weights, not the weight gain.
Nice Guy Eddie Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 There's no good reason for the cruiserweight division being on Raw. It seems the only reason they are is so Stephanie can outdo Shane. The whole point of the draft was to prove Stephanie > everybody else except Vince.
RIPPA Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 12 minutes ago, Ace said: Meltzer confirmed they're back to using worked weights, not the weight gain. For example - during the CWC, Kendrick was billed at 157 lbs (which you can still see: http://www.wwe.com/superstars/brian-kendrick) On RAW, he was announced at like 189 lbs
Brandon Bones Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 If push comes to shove... they can always whoopee up a back up plan angle where Bryan trades Orton or something. But in exchange for the cruiser weights going non-exclusive. As a bonus it's a narrative sub-plot in the growing rivalry between the brands.
Kyuubi Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Or they could use Survivor Series to make bets or ultimatums and Smackdown wins the Cruiserweight Division or Raw gets Orton or Smackdown wins Cesaro.
Niners Fan in CT Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 I maybe stupidly actually thought they would do something with this cruiserweight division. Holy hell was I wrong. No character development for any of these guys outside of TJP/Kendrick. Sub-5 minute matches. Nothing done to make them feel special aside from the ropes. It's getting ugly very quickly.
Sammo~! Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 The death knell is when they feed 4 of the named cruiserweights to Brandybuck Stroheim next week in a squash.
