Feelings on all the Roster shake up news...

[BigDaddyCool]

I just read all of the most recent news/rumors and the like about Draft/Trade here at tpww.net (cheap pop). Anyhow, the Smackdown roster sounds like a bunch of bitch babies. Oh no, Buh Buh Dudley is a jerk and on smackdown, oh no HHH is coming to...wait no he is back on Raw, yay! Ron Simmons is gone too, yay! Oh we have to work 4 days in a row, boo hoo. Bitch, bitch, bitch. Does Smackdown need a bottle?

I understand working 4 days in a row, in 4 different cities, and one of these days you didn't know about till like a week before can be a pain in the ass, but it isn't like they it happens all of the time.

Oh, and Edge was taken from Smackdown, oh no, he sucks anyways. They got Booker T and RVD. Both were main eventers and shining spots for other companies, maybe, just maybe they can be top stars for WWE now that they aren't being jobbed to HHH and friends every week.

I think they were moreso bitching about the fact that to them, it was rather unannounced (they literally found out because of Vince announcing it on RAW.) SmackDown is being made out to be the B-show, amongst other things, I don't see why they don't have the right to complain a little. If I were a wrestler, and I found out Triple H was coming to my show, and suspected/knew him to be a backstage politician, I would be pissed too.

This is the kind of thing where you have to be in their shoes to really understand how they feel.

One of those shows was in the UK which meant more than 30 hours round-trip easily. Then you take into accoutnt that they probably plan visits with their friends, families, wives/girlfriends around their days off and a possible roster switch would've thrown all those plans to shit...

I was in the Navy and a lot of time you make plans weeks or months in advance because our ship was constantly deployed. Missing a weekend with your woman or having concert tickets go to waste because our schedule changed at the last second may not seem like a big dea, but it is.

Of course, reading some rumors on a newsboard, not having any clue whether they're accurate or not and then bitching about it yourself...

Oh we have to work 4 days in a row, boo hoo. Bitch, bitch, bitch. Does Smackdown need a bottle?

..that seems real mature.

[Kane Knight]

The roster shakeup was pretty weak.

How many of the people switched around were actually used? How many of them were worth a damn, for that matter? 3, 4?

I can't blame people for being a little annoyed that Smackdown's the backup show, or that they don't even get the consideration of warning.

Do you reply without actually reading the topic? :D

The biggest announcement of the night, Triple H traded, and he gets traded back. Nothing earth shaking, but what could they have done?

[The CyNick]

The problem with the travel was that the SD crew had to do all the stuff for Mania weekend, work Mania, work Monday and Tues, then go across the pond to the UK to do their shots over there, then they had to be back in the States and work on Monday. That is as bad of a schedule as guys work nowadays.

The whole thing that they didn't know what show they would wind up on really shows how unprofessional the WWE is. RAW guys work Fri-Mon and Sd guys work Sat-Tues. That is a big difference and guys have to make arrangements based on when they will be on the road. What if they have kids and have to get people to look after them, well now thats going to be changed, and they get no advanced warning. If the workers had any balls they'd walk out for that alone, because like I said its very unprofessional, and there's no good reason why the WWE couldn't let the guys know ahead of time.

In terms of the guys. Hey I wouldn't want to be on show with HHH either, because I know he's going to have an impact on how much money I can earn. If I were the SD guys I would have been jumping for joy when I found out he was headed back to RAW.

With Bubba, Ive heard he isn't the most liked guy, and hey that happens. From what I understand the SD lockerroom is pretty cohesive, except for APA and Taker. So adding a guy who has a rep for being an asshole isn't going to go over well.

Lived up to the hype? Not promised what they couldn't offer?

[CBright7831]

Yeah, but this is the WWE. This should be expected.

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah, I understand the fact about the scheduling thing, and if that was the only problem they had, I wouldn't even bother with this thread. But bitching about who left and who came on is just annoying.

[SeanMC]

^But isnt that what people do on these boards all the time?what gives us the right to complain about it and not the wrestlers when they are the one who do this shit, not us.Answer that.And besides, isnt you bitching about them bitching just plain hypocritical of you?

No, you are wrong.

The thing that gets to me about this whole thing is that we keep hearing that these people don't want to work with this guy, these guys want to work with this guy but he's going over here... I hate to break it to some people, but <I>HEY,</I> that's how these things happen sometimes. Almost anybody with a job has had to work with someone they'd rather not, or had someone they really liked to work with shifted elsewhere. That's what we all deal with boys.

And I can't blame Vince for keeping the news of the potential shifts under wraps until the eleventh hour. It seems to have served him pretty well: look at the ratings Raw scored. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Vince continued to sit on major announcements like these now, and the internet wrestling community pretty much has itself to blame.

See, this is what I'm talking about.
