    NJ is a different style and a different pace, you'll struggle to get it from one or two matches.

    I've just learned that Tyson Fury is the linear Brawl for All champion, so it's all on the line for Boatman.

    Everyone was convinced it was mayweather before. This seems more legit. It's coming home.

    Surely nobody who was big enough to beat Butterbean would be fighting Mayweather?

    Butterbean lost to some random MMA guy and then it worked itself through the world of MMA to McGregor who then lost it to Mayweather was the story. However it was then shown that Butterbean lost a number of boxing fights before the MMA fight, so if it was a real title it never would have left the world of boxing and would now be on Fury, apparently.

    Smackdown is normally at least okay with some high points but I thought last night's was the worst in a very, very long time. Thanks to them buggering the two matches that were half-decent I'm happy to report it didn't have a single redeeming feature.

    I didn't watch it but are they fucking off Rollins/FIEND, fucking off the their no crossover rule (WILDCARDS FOR LIFE) or are they splitting the MEGA COUPLE ROLLINS AND BECKY?

    I'd imagine Fox and USA will be a bit more keen to keep the rosters distinct for 'unique' shows. Until they realise WWE just books the same old shit anyway and it doesn't matter.

    He'll earn buckets of cash for about 3 appearances and a guaranteed win.

    They should just let him go unfiltered without a script and he'd do better.

    Not sure what you mean. Becky was drafted to RAW and presumably Seth will be too on Monday night.

    Oh re-read it... Fiend going to Smackdown. Yea they’ll be fucking that off.

    Rumour is that a MEGA TRADE will happen to get THE FIEND back on RAW which would surely make a mockery of the whole thing, which probably means it's nailed on.

    I’ve realised what the issue with NXTs ‘cheap’ look. They’re filming the crowd and entrances with those same high frame rate cameras. When the wrestling starts it makes it feel more like sports but they need different cameras for the zooms etc.

    Depends whether trades are possible all the time or only on draft days. (It doesn't matter whether it "is" or not of course, they'll make it up as they go along.)

    And whether it's going to be a HHH-esque WE'LL GIVE YOU HALF OUR ROSTER FOR HIM. Fiend did seem an odd fit for SD though.

    Just read the results and either the executives haven’t watched one minute of WWE before or the writers shat themselves after last week and randomised most of the draft order. They took some nobody from 205 live before a bunch of former world champions for fuck sake.

    The whole thing was, unsurprisingly, drivel. And as you say, some of it even if you try and allow for WWE non-logic is just incredibly dim.

    I'm also liking AOP getting some return hype via those promos and going unpicked, Luke Harper not being picked along with Rowan when the option would theoretically have been there, the Usos not being in there at all, etc.

    Even taking aside that and the woeful presentation it's just hard to care because no match-ups have seemed off-limits for a while anyway. If they'd kept the rosters separate then something like Rollins and Styles, for example, is something you'd have to look forward to with the new draft. As it is every fucker's been turning up everywhere anyway so between that and the main talking point being the NETWORK EXECUTIVES how anybody's expected to care is beyond me.

    Thank goodness for NXT.

    I never did get around to watching last week's AEW, mind.

    At this point you have to conclude that either they just don't care or they think their viewers won't notice. I'm not sure which is worse but it's getting easier and easier to find a viable alternative so this sort of dumb shit is only going to drive people away.

    Who can tell, you have someone who had the potential to be a new Kurt Angle or maybe a Daniel Bryan but instead of doing that they've decided to dwell on physical attributes that only they think are drawbacks.

    Incredible really.

    Feel bad for Cesaro.

    He's been booked against Mansoor at Blood Money. He should not be losing to an NXT talent who can't even get on TV.

    Bruce’s first act is to trade for Alexa and Nikki. RAW receives “future draft pick considerations”. What the fuck?

    Also, gutted about Bischoff. I was so excited for nWo 57.0.

    The whole Bischoff thing was weird as he seemed to have nominally the same roles as Heyman but not the same responsibilities or as much control.

    That would make sense, I suppose. I mean what I read is that Bischoff had less-to-no influence over creative for Smackdown compared to Heyman with Raw, and I'd have thought the creative side of it is what he wants to do.
