Plans change, pal.

[Black Widow]

Will probably get rewritten 2 more times before it starts.

[xrodmuc316]

Calling it now, the new "A Show" will be whichever show gets Sami Zayn!

[GD]

I love how Becky is the focus of this picture that was posted on WWE.com

I wish the women's titles had different names.

[GD]

I think I've had enough of Graves and Renee.

[KIRA]

Oh joy the mcmahons start the show

[Evil Vito]

Time for Miz to show up and switch shows for the 3rd year in a row

FOX will want the guy with the USA reality show off of their network

[GD]

Mike Rome filling in for Greg Hamilton.

[Emperor Smeat]

So are they actually doing trades or just having peeps randomly show up?

[KIRA]

END THIS!

[slik]

WRAP

IT

UP

[Evil Vito]

Yep. Miz. Knew it.

[A.J.K]

I think Miz will make a good face

[A.J.K]

Miz busted open

[Droford]

bloody Miz

[GD]

There hasn't been a single draft since the second brand extension where Miz hasn't changed brands :nono:

I hope this means he's going to get back in the Intercontinental title picture.

[RP]

Rabbit punching Shane busting people open since Day 1ish

[Evil Vito]

Miz bleeding profusely while he holds up a chair. Not the visual I expected.

[Evil Vito]

While Miz changing shows every year is kinda lame, WWE's hands were tied with this one.

[A.J.K]

A little bit of an edgier direction perhaps?

[GD]

I hope they don't fill the United States and Intercontinental titles again.

[Evil Vito]

LOL that sound effect for Ricochet's entrance. Fuck's sake.

[Emperor Smeat]

Did they add bullet sounds to Richoett's entrance?

[KIRA]

Oh God when did they add the stupid Speedy Gonzales bullet sounds to ricochets entrance

[GD]

Did they add bullet sounds to Richoett's entrance?

I think it was meant for the match graphics.

[Evil Vito]

Aleister Black on Raw.

Andrade/Zelina definitely going to Raw then.

[Emperor Smeat]

I think it was meant for the match graphics.

Match graphics or not, its a dumb new addition.

Same for Black's creaking sound effect for his rise.

[slik]

https://i.imgur.com/3ZSqR0D.jpg

[KIRA]

Aleister black the blue collar champion

[RP]

I think The Shield mystery partner from Smackdown will be K.O

[Evil Vito]

Aleister Black on Raw.

Andrade/Zelina definitely going to Raw then.

Actually this would also mean Charlotte going over too probably.

They're generally pretty good at keeping couples together.

[Evil Vito]

The Shield has had more final chapters than Terry Funk has had retirements.

Also I do not care about this match..... wow and it is still going on.

[GD]

Cole and Graves just confirmed that these competitors aren't necessarily drafted to RAW. Nothing is certain until the end of Smackdown.

[Danny Electric]

Welcome to Main Event The Viking Experience , lots of matches against The Ascension.

Corey Graves was confused. The crowd was confused. Viewers will be confused when they go under one name on NXT and one name on Raw. Great job.

[Droford]

The Viking experience HUSS HUSS HUSS

[Danny Electric]

They just had one of the best matches of Wrestlemania weekend and now this , poor guys.

WTF at Viking Experience

WORST

EVER

[slik]

No One from NXT is ever allowed on the main roster again.

Nope.

[Droford]

The Minnesota Viking Raiding Krew

[Evil Vito]

Even if they wanted to avoid the name War Raiders because of the word "War".......the VIKING EXPERIENCE?!?!

[Droford]

Shoulda just called them the Berzerkers

[GD]

I am curious to know the thought process behind this name change. Was it a legal / trademark issue or one of those "Vince things".

Considering the commentators kept messing up the name, maybe it wasn't a wise idea to rename someone as Ivar.

Raw got me wanting to snort Chantix

[Emperor Smeat]

What were they called before? War Machine?

Yeup, that was their name in ROH and NJPW.

In terms of their ring name, Hanson was still Hanson while Rowe had a first name that got chopped when he went to NXT as part of the War Raiders name change.

[Droford]

leave it to rp to have gay viking porn

[Lock Jaw]

AHAHAHHAAHAHAAA.... started watching late....

Losing it at them changing War Raiders to "The Viking Expereince" and changing their names too.....

[GD]

Who cares where Cedric Alexander is

I do. It's nice to see him move up from 205 Live. Also, he's no longer restricted by the weight limit.

[slik]

Andrade a good choice

[Droford]

Charlotte coming to RAW

[RP]

dat ass

[GD]

Finally, the 3-hour format has become more bearable. Andrade has arrived :love:

[Emperor Smeat]

Even though he's married to Vega and the rule is to not split couples, I'd laugh if Aleister Black goes to Smackdown after Cole and Graves teased about him and Ricochet's appearance tonight doesn't mean they were drafted yet.

[Droford]

why isnt it quoi?

Andrade rules...

I am unsure where Zelina's promo is going.

I give it about a month before Vince/Creative gets bored of an Andrade push. Outside of his title run in NXT, both NXT and Smackdown struggled to handle him well.

Would be funny if the Usos suddenly had their old Samoan gimmick...

[GD]

lol they just spoiled The Usos with the nameplate :lol:

[RP]

Did the Uso's lose the belts?

[Lock Jaw]

A lot of good Smackdown peeps going to RAW..... I predict it will not make RAW more watchable, but rather make me not care about a lot of the former SD people.....

[Droford]

cant wait for sd to get the ascension

[Triple A]

Did the Uso's lose the belts?

Ya to the Hardys

[Emperor Smeat]

RAW's tag division went from being a disaster of epic proportions to really great in one day.

Usos
Black/Ricochet
Viking Experience (:lol: at the name)

Smackdown's tag division probably going to suffer big time now since last time it was SD that got a huge boost and RAW getting the useless scraps.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I was kind of excited about seeing The Usos vs. Gable & Roode on paper. Now it's happening and then it's done. I imagine Gable & Roode will go to Smackers.

[Lock Jaw]

Dunno..... RAW is so "infused" with "negative energy" that even just seeing Usos wrestling in between the red ropes and the red graphics and lighting, etc.... just makes me instantly 80% less interested in watching them on the TV and paying attention

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol at The Viking Experience. Glorious.

[rez]

Roode's WWE status died for all of mankind's sins

[Mr. Nerfect]

Dunno..... RAW is so "infused" with "negative energy" that even just seeing Usos wrestling in between the red ropes and the red graphics and lighting, etc.... just makes me instantly 80% less interested in watching them on the TV and paying attention

I don't know if I hate the Raw vibe, or if it's just because Raw has been a show I haven't looked forward to in years. I imagine a good show would change the emotions the aesthetics instill in me.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Commentary emphasizing that Roode & Gable's careers would be better off on Smackers.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Either they're moving or Roode turns on Gable after the match.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh jeez, Cole yelling "Welcome to the Uso Penitentiary" each week will suck.

[RP]

COCKS OUT BOIZZZZZZZZZZ

[Lock Jaw]

The way I imagine "The Viking Experience" rename going is that Hanson/Rowe had no idea about it until seconds before they stepped through the curtain, and Vince was all "Hey! I forgot to tell you! You're gonna be called The Viking Experience now! It's gonna be great! Your names are also Igor and Ivar!"

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can't believe they are going to call them "The Viking Experience." Zero effort. They will shorten or change it soon, don't worry.

[Emperor Smeat]

Why did Graves spoil Sami as Bliss guest early?

[Mr. Nerfect]

My first thought as to who Seth & Roman's partner should be was Daniel Bryan. I know he's a heel, but that's just where my heart went.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Will probably be Owens because they are in Montreal.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would also accept:

* Luke Harper doing his new "Fighting for My Family" gimmick.

* Cesaro, breaking away from Sheamus.

* AJ Styles -- if they're going to move him, that would be a way to do it.

[Lock Jaw]

"LOL" at Sami's dancing

[slik]

@Smeat

Rico/Black/LARS not officially on any brands yet per Michael Cole/Graves/Renee

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Sami's music randomly playing a second time.

This week's show has been full of production and commentary botches soo far.

Edit: Never mind, it was on purpose by Sami.

[Lock Jaw]

I don't think the music playing again was a botch

[RP]

Lets send Sami zayne out there and kill time.

GREAT DO THAT!

[Triple A]

Can hear the Canadian accent when the crowd chants "Sami"

[xrodmuc316]

BEST SEGMENT EVER!!!

[Mr. Nerfect]

"That's it, Raw's cancelled."

Don't get my hopes up, Corey.

[Triple A]

lol enjoying this... good heel gimmick

[Mr. Nerfect]

Didn't Zayn show up as a babyface and turn heel last week by "shooting" on the fans for not automatically liking the WWE product?

[Mr. Nerfect]

One of my pet peeves in modern wrestling is when they act like moderate reactions in this era are comparable to major reactions from others. When you don't watch every week, it's really noticeable how feeble the crowds are. I mean, they are showing up for this segment, but they don't feel like they're "in full force."

[slik]

Heel Sami is great

Alexa face turn

[Mr. Nerfect]

This is fucking unbearable.

[Emperor Smeat]

So is Alexa a face now?

If so, then last week's squash of Bayley makes even less sense now.

[slik]

Alexa is a weird face, such a natural fit as a heel

[xrodmuc316]

Looking at the Twitter and it seems like at least Ricochet is def on Raw, so assuming Black is too...

With Naomi now on RAW due to being married to one of the Usos, wonder if Charlotte is also going to RAW since she's currently dating Andrade.

[Triple A]

interesting @ Graves saying "Sasha lost her ball and quit the game"

[Lock Jaw]

When they came out they said Ricochet/Black were on RAW, but then during the match they were all "anything can happen! This could be any of these men's last time on RAW!"

[Mr. Nerfect]

So is Alexa a face now?

If so, then last week's squash of Bayley makes even less sense now.

She was a face for this segment, and she'll be a heel next week when it suits them.

So much bad pantomime in the two of the three segments I've seen. The Iconics and Alexa are terrible actors. Sami Zayn has good delivery, but that content was cheesy as hell.

[Sepholio]

Obvious she was coming over to RAW. lol graves throwing more shade at Sasha by saying Naomi is a definite upgrade for Bayley. Incredible.

[Lock Jaw]

Women tag champs with another meaningless squash match.

Only this time, they lost it.

[GD]

Missed the "Sami Zayn-Alexa Bliss" segment due to a phone call. Hope it wasn't eventful. Also where is Sasha Banks?

[Sepholio]

Lol and then they squash the champs. Wow.

[xrodmuc316]

It's amazing how much WWE killed EC3. Dude just got zero reaction.

[GD]

Dixie Carter's baby nephew is in the house.

[Sepholio]

I wonder if there is some kind of underlying situation involving Sasha at this point, more than just the being fed up with creative. How often does WWE go to this length to smear someone?

[Emperor Smeat]

IIconics are pretty much the female version of Elias.

Great with their shtick outside the ring but are somewhat bad once the bell rings.

[Lock Jaw]

It's amazing how much WWE killed EC3. Dude just got zero reaction.

So they just saved time and skipped over the middle part where people care for a bit

[Mr. Nerfect]

Missed the "Sami Zayn-Alexa Bliss" segment due to a phone call. Hope it wasn't eventful. Also where is Sasha Banks?

Alexa Bliss introduced Zayn who got a big pop. He led the crowd in an "Ole!" chant and acted like it was the coolest thing ever, despite it being tepid to anything at any sporting event. Bliss said "It must be great being in Montreal" and Zayn said he likes the city, but hates the people, *wink* *wink*. Crowd boos and Alexa says "Rude." And Zayn rips on people from Montreal and Bliss stands up for them delivering some awful lines about Zayn blaming fans.

It was not eventful.

[Triple A]

Missed the "Sami Zayn-Alexa Bliss" segment due to a phone call. Hope it wasn't eventful. Also where is Sasha Banks?

Sami Zayn segment was good imo... not really eventful but was entertaining

And they showed a backstage "earlier today" segment with Bayley trying to call Sasha on the phone but not being able to reach her, so the IIconics made fun of her and Bayley said she'd find a new partner... Then later in the match, Graves said that Sasha "quit the game"

[Mr. Nerfect]

I wonder if there is some kind of underlying situation involving Sasha at this point, more than just the being fed up with creative. How often does WWE go to this length to smear someone?

All the time when it was JR.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The Aussie accent is awful on TV. Not sure if it's because they are from Sydney/Melbourne or it's just because we can't talk properly.

[Mr. Nerfect]

EC3 got a shot. He wasn't very good. I mean, they could have tried harder, but they also could have not tried at all.

[RP]

If Jeff Dunham coming to RAW?

[xrodmuc316]

Jesus Christ, they can't even make a new stupid ass buzzards video? We have to see the same one for the 3rd time?

[Triple A]

Feel annoyed @ it being unclear who is "officially on Raw"

[rez]

Because..of course

[Mr. Nerfect]

Braun gets no reaction either.

[Emperor Smeat]

Poor EC3, looks like he was finally going to get some time to shine but now probably getting shipped back to Main Event.

[Triple A]

wonder what EC3 did wrong backstage

[Mr. Nerfect]

Feel annoyed @ it being unclear who is "officially on Raw"

I wouldn't bank on it not changing by next week, but I imagine that the wrestlers who appear on Raw this week and win are going to be on Raw moving forward, and whoever shows up on SmackDown this week are on SmackDown.

[Sepholio]

Poor EC3

[xrodmuc316]

EC3 got a shot. He wasn't very good. I mean, they could have tried harder, but they also could have not tried at all.

When? The 2 months he spent backstage looking at himself in the mirror not talking? Or the 2 months they had him jobbing to Apollo Crews on Main Event?

[GD]

Michael Cole can probably make the second coming of Jesus underwhelming.

[Mr. Nerfect]

When? The 2 months he spent backstage looking at himself in the mirror not talking? Or the 2 months they had him jobbing to Apollo Crews on Main Event?

When he got two weeks against Dean Ambrose and didn't make an impression despite all the bullshit hype about him. He wasn't exactly turning heads in NXT either.

[Lock Jaw]

Michael Cole can probably make the second coming of Jesus underwhelming.

"OH MY!!!"

[Mr. Nerfect]

Michael Cole can probably make the second coming of Jesus underwhelming.

True, but Graves and Young aren't much better. The commentary is objectively awful bullshit white noise.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cole just called Becky "The Man" about eight times as "The Man" is all that is shown on the screen. I guess she's The Man?

[xrodmuc316]

When he got two weeks against Dean Ambrose and didn't make an impression despite all the bullshit hype about him. He wasn't exactly turning heads in NXT either.

The 2 weeks when he didn't talk and Dean treated him like a jabroni to turn back face after his horrible Bane heel gimmick? Where EC3 got a win and instantly gave it right back the next week, again without talking...

[Lock Jaw]

Random Eric Young draft

[rez]

Wish Pat McAfee had laid Cole out backstage at WrestleMania

[Mr. Nerfect]

I find it kind of weird that Mattel does that ad where they are so pumped to have these action figures. "You two can walk out your favorite and pretend they are cutting a 20-minute promo or going 50/50 in meaningless matches!"

[xrodmuc316]

Lol Eric Young to Raw, by himself, not even shown on TV. WWE sure builds stars

[GD]

Poor Eric Young.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Haha, welcome to Raw, Rey!

[slik]

Eric Young lol

[Lock Jaw]

Y'all notice how Liv Morgan started doing her walk again after ABT stopped posting?

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess Sanity broke up if only Young got moved over to RAW. Group was pretty much DOA once they got called up.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They forgot to add The Viking Experience to that screen too. Man, this is a mess.

[slik]

@ Smeat @ Triple A

yeah, they just clarified Rico/Black/LARS not officially on any brand for some reason...

[Mr. Nerfect]

Acts like The Usos, Rey and Andrade would be so much better on SmackDown when they go to network TV. Acts with a far wider demographic appeal than the generic white meat post talent are.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Corey Graves reminding people that Becky is a loser. Good job, Corey.

[slik]

Kevin Dunn firing on all cylinders tonight...

[Mr. Nerfect]

Half-assed "Let's go Becky" chants. Why is she selling like everybody else?

Crowd does not give two flying fucks.

[Lock Jaw]

Wish that Corbin/Lashley/McIntyre would be drafted to OVW

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, Drew actually cracked me up with his no-selling of Baron.

[Lock Jaw]

Becky is nonplussed!!!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lio Rush has something.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Wtf, why was Becky just standing out there?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I want to see WWE do an "Unsolved Mysteries" special for the Network. They can make fun of all their unsolved angles, what Batista was on at Mania and why Becky was standing around doing nothing in the ring when Nattie came out.

Impact would be happy since that's their feeder promotion.

Lashley probably would be happy as well since he was treated a lot better on Impact than his current WWE run.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would be great if Fandango was partners with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, even though he is not from SmackDown.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lashley looks the part, Lio acts the part, Drew is a bit of both and Corbin is neither.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Holy shit, I was going to make a joke about that ad being for WrestleMania. I thought it was for a shitty Facebook game or something.

[xrodmuc316]

Who the fuck gave Nattie a talking segment???

[Mr. Nerfect]

Jesus Christ, WWE promos are awful.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Nattie and Becky are both awful.

[slik]

I guess the Becky vs Lacey feud is already over, that lasted 1 week

[Emperor Smeat]

Either Lacey had travel problems or WWE already gave up on the idea of a mega push for her.

Natty's promo was not good.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Becky is alright at talking, but her reactions are bad.

[rez]

Holy shit, I was going to make a joke about that ad being for WrestleMania. I thought it was for a shitty Facebook game or something.

Some 90s Windows shareware crap right there

[Lock Jaw]

Did Lacey change her allegiance to communist Russia?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I fucking hate Lacey Evans already.

[slik]

There's Lacey

[GD]

Both women eyeing the RAW Women's title.

[xrodmuc316]

Wait, is Lacey Evans a whore now?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Don't they have the Performance Center where they can smack this awful high school acting style out of people?

[RP]

Lacey Evans has my penis jumping.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Wait, is Lacey Evans a whore now?

Seems like it.

[slik]

Outside of a few moments this RAW has been sort of 'eh'

[RP]

Natty needs to stop rough housing LACEY RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!

[xrodmuc316]

Seems like it.

It's been a while since we had a good Vince Genetic Jackhammer angle, maybe Lacey is the one!

[slik]

Lacey is bad so far

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can't even remember what the promo was I was going to mock. But Lacey has a case of the high school play accentuation *bad*.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's been a while since we had a good Vince Genetic Jackhammer angle, maybe Lacey is the one!

I bet you he wants to.

Could go the rest of my life without another Lacey segment

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lacey should be a heel valet. She should look pretty and swoon over Drew McIntyre or something.

[KIRA]

I wonder if Triple H sees what Vince does with his pride and joy and just looks at the Noose and measures from the ceiling to the floor

[xrodmuc316]

Outside of a few moments this RAW has been sort of 'eh'

They need an off-season badly in WWE, and not just for the well being of the wrestlers, cause I just need WWE to go away for a few months so they can get some actual storylines together.

[Mr. Nerfect]

He knows Vince and he knows what he's walking them into. He doesn't give a shit. The main roster is his domain every year at Mania.

[Evil Vito]

Checked the ongoing results.

 lol @ Raw seemingly signing all of the free agents except for Heavy Machinery and Nikki Cross

[Mr. Nerfect]

They need an off-season badly in WWE, and not just for the well being of the wrestlers, cause I just need WWE to go away for a few months so they can get some actual storylines together.

That's the best and only half-way decent reason I've heard for an off-season ever.

[RP]

NATTY YOU TONE IT DOWN RIGHT NOW!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lacey was just in control of the match and got taken down and was selling like she was exhausted all of a sudden...
