Just Dave Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 3 hours ago, Hagan said: After last night's Sasha/Bayley match does anyone still think they needed a Wrestlemania singles match? Okay, I know that's unfair. I think my big issue with them is they both have looked MISERABLE the last few months. They're clearly not happy with their spots and are both too good (at times) to have these going through the motions matches and stumbling promos. I mean, look at the level of energy and charisma the Riott Squad showed during their run-in and then watch Sasha/Bayley barely get through arm drags spot and argue who should get pushed. I mean, Becky has had, well, not worse booking then them but she's been given way less opportunities and she's still out there killing it every night. Bayley and Sasha are quickly getting into Dolph territory of perfectly competent but clearly no longer care. At least Dolph is rich and a veteran. They just seem sad out there. But yeah, Brooklyn WAS a great match, no doubt. Ok, the “phoning it in” argument has merit. The “these girls have no talent” argument is asinine... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully from NXT. Smackdown doesn't need that many women. They had 6 active at the start of the split and used them all. Once they started adding the Riott Squad, the issues with people just not getting time started to show. 8 actual women in the division would be enough.

Brian Fowler Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Are we acting like Sasha and Bayley didn't just have a really good match in San Diego a month or so ago? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Interesting little thing - both Singh brothers are both still listed on SDL The WWE was really good at updating as the evening went on and I fairly sure it is an oversight but yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarl Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Is 205Live going to be "shaken up" as well by adding a few new faces to their show? Lio Rush has been rumored for awhile, and Oney Lorcan/Danny Burch in to the 205Live Tag Division would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, okay, you can run a division with only 6 wrestlers of one gender. But you're going to run out of match-ups a lot faster than you would with a deeper roster. And it would be nice if they could do the Rumble next year without repeating this year's Memory Lane schtick. It was a lot of fun this year, sure, but it'll get old fast. Doing so will require both brand's women's rosters to get bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I'm going to catch heck for this idea, but with the size of the women's roster right now, I believe the optimal number of competitors in a Rumble is 20. Also, there better not be seperate men and women MITB matches for each brand this year. I'm already sick of this gimmick. No way they opt for four briefcases. So I'm not too worried looking at the SD Live female roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 They have plenty of women in NXT/at the performance center. No reason why they can't fill the Rumble next year with limited returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterien Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 The Matt and Bray entrance is surely one of the worst “let’s mash up two theme songs for these two singles guys who are now a team” mixes they’ve ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 But...but....but......what would that mean for Survivor Series?? If they combine superstars for the MitB matches, that would mean that Survivor Series ISN'T the ONE TIME A YEAR that RAW and Smackdown go against each other in head-to-head competition!!

I feel the same in the men's matches. After about three of those surprises who you know aren't sticking around, it gets to be a bit much. But I'm an old man yelling at a cloud. And I know that. On a more pleasant note, it's just now dawning on me that the main event of SummerSlam this year is probably Daniel Bryan vs either Nak or AJ.

Pretty sure this is another case of the match in question not being about "brand supremacy", but rather every man or woman for themselves in order to get a prize (like the Royal Rumble). Ya'll beat this shit into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hot take because the board has had a love affair with the idea of a Bayley-Sasha feud since their NXT matches. Wow, thank you for this valuable information.

Niners Fan in CT Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 People in South Africa will most likely be dealt. But I think Finn Balor is a safe bet to stay on RAW. He's a little too important to just be thrown in a graphic. The Bar and Titus and Absolution could all absolutely be drafted over and not appear.
