    so my entire signature is on raw

    and so is new day and enzo and cass

    AJ is amazing and I have the time and inclination to watch 5+ hours of wrestling a week but I was hoping for more on smackdown

    They absolutely needed to split up KO and Sami

    Possibly put Cesaro on Smackdown too

    They're not giving enough reasons to watch it

    Absolutley,


    Ideally I did want one roster stacked so I only had to watch one show but I NEVER thought it would be this lopsided. This is fucking absurd.

    That's going a bit far I think

    SD has stars but comon that roster is super lopsided.

    Yeah it does appear that way. Although I'll reserve full judgement till the very end of the draft including trades.

    Only thing I really disagree on so far is Sami and KO being on Raw together.

    Smackdown has American Alpha

    all balance arguments invalid

    LOL
    Rollins whooping Ambrose in a smackdown shirt sums up this night pretty perfectly.

    I don't want to say WWE already botched this but... honestly I have a bad feeling overall.

    Brand splits aren't something you judge based on immediate returns

    The 02 brand split started off GREAT

  • KilroyKilroy timaeusTestified Registered User regular
    I would bet that the other nxt callups go to smackdown

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    They've already lost a good chunk of online support judging by the immediate reactions.

    The brand split has always been a bad idea because all of the benefits you could possibly gain from it can be had just as easily by booking with a little restraint and foresight.

    The brand split allows the wwe to build distinct shows with their own identities

    Admittedly I did not expect raw to be the workrate show but what are ya gonna do

    Raw has the cruiser division, that part better damn well be a workrate show.

    Do we know if the wrestlers know where they're being picked ahead of time?

    NXT stars in particular? Do they know at all they're getting a callup?

    to be clear I am not making a huge call or anything. I am gonna watch and am still super excited. but for the type of wrestling I personally enjoy most raw was dominant.

    american alpha + AJ are my favs on that show but I will be watching, as I said. I hope it kicks ass.

    maybe they'll finally freshen up cena in some way.

    edit - I mean his character. he's been great for the last year + and no disrespect to waht he was doing before, just wasn't for me.

    Some of the nxt dudes had a little send off at the last house show so yes they probably knew they'd be called up

    In the past nobody has been told ahead of time which show they're going to

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    I don't think SD has a horrid roster or anything, far from it.

    But they still made it seem like Raw was more important, and that's a problem.

    I assume Finn, Nia and AA had a good idea

    From what I've heard the other 3 picks are totally up in the air as of 2 hours before the show, so knowing WWE, probably not

    between the title (maybe, we'll see sunday) and bryan maybe they think that'll do a lot of smackdown

    Retirement agrees with her, she looks a lot healthier and a lot better now than she did when she was competing. Which is both commendable and very rare in wrestling.
