Eric Bischoff or we riot.

Hogan makes his triumphant return and declares that all lives matter.

Bret Hart is revealed as Raw GM with the slogan BRET SCREWS EVERYONE.

Shane McMahon's children are revealed as joint Smackdown GMs and their appearances are broadcast via satellite feed from Chuck E Cheese, McDonalds' playppace, and inside a circular clothes rack while their mom shops for clothes.

Jeff Jarret is named Raw GM but 6 months from now we discover it was actually Road Dogg making the decisions.

Triple H for RAW, D Bryan for Smackdown, then Vince goes "LOL SWITCH"

Inno knows.

The last Raw in HISTORY to have every superstar on the roster, until WrestleMania comes and they briefly ignore it.

Yeah I could see that. Vince should come out wearing a top hat with a card stuck into the band on the front and yell "CHANGE PLACES"!

And then HHH becomes the NXT version of Paul E. and becomes this guy:

That would be a cool twist

I think they spoiled the SD GM already in an announcement title that they've since pulled.

Raw GM David Otunga

Smackdown GM Mike Adamle

I wish. :(

All I know is that I got tickets to Smackdown next month and I don't wanna see John Cena. Stay on Raw.

I have yet to receive a phone call, but I am sitting by my phone.....

Odds on Michael Cole/JBL making a very forced "out of touch" sounding Pokemon Go reference on commentary tonight?

Hope this is better than Shane being announced as the Smackdown head guy last week.

Still upset at how much they blew that chance to put some fresh air into WWE.

Took an Oxy to brace for disappointment, but let's see what happens.

Michael Cole explaining the Draft count: #1

Rule #3 about tag teams really feels like at least one team is getting broken up or else they wouldn't put that last line in it.

Lucha Dragons already pre-broke up according to Vito's post in the Brand Split thread so not counting them.

How does everyone w/o cable/satellite watch RAW,,, I kicked DirecTV to the curb and just want it on in the background

That ain't cool Shane.

If I cut Comcast, I'd just use my dad's email credentials to watch on their online portal. That's basically what I'm doing now since I'm on the west coast and would have to watch it three hours later otherwise.

#ladyballs

The thing is I can't understand why they'd even have that rule. What purpose would it serve to only want one member of a team when you can get an extra wrestler for free?

I can't even see a team on the roster where the rule would make sense. MAYBE taking Cass on his own but breaking them up so early would be so stupid, and doing that would totally bury Enzo.

Is it my new TV or is Shane extra orange?

"Tomorrow, when you wake up Wednesday morning..."

Good thing they copyrighted lady balls.

The real winners staring next week? The fans not having to go through this stupid brother sister rivalry going on.

Cruiserweights on RAW huh

Whoa, cruiserweights on Raw :eek:

Cusierweight title ??????

Hey! Exciting news!

Michael Cole count: 1

WWE total count: 2

Foley huh..woo I think I called that

Commish foley!!!!!!!!!!!!!! god yes!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, wasn't expecting Foley for the GM pick.

Hell ya. Mick Foley!

THE ONLY UNPINNED JOBBER IN RAW HISTORY: ROLLERMACKA

Oh. Foley's good too.

So far, my prediction from last week is half right...

Great pick.

Foley in a weekly authority figure role again :love:

Foley forget his lines?

Wouldn't be the first time.

I wish Foley brought a gavel out with him.

THIS IS THE GENESIS OF THE GENESIS OF THE FOLEYGILICUTTY GENESIS

Crowd so spoiled this.

:lol: Shane doing the YES! taunt

Huh, two face GMs. Interesting.

Huge fan of both of these picks.

yup. Steph said "five alarm fire"

2 face authority figures is actualy a very interesting change of pace. I've grown tired of the heel authority figure tropes.

The only person that could have been the Raw GM and beat Bryan's pop would probably be CM Punk riding on the shoulders of Steve Austin.

Cruiserweight on RAW
Bryan on Smackdown

They've already managed to fuck this up

Bryan lookscready to go into corporate stooge heel authority role

Let's make smackdown great again :)

"Hey Mick! Pal! How'd you like to be back on TV as the Raw GM?"
"That's great! I'd love to! Who's going to be my opposing GM?"
"Daniel Bryan."
"God damn it."

Smackdown #1 pick sami zayn

Smackdown will not draft any goddamn bears.

Did Steoh just forget her new GM was arguably one of the biggest underdogs when he wrestled.

From a purely selfish standpoint, I wanted everybody I liked to go to SmackDown so I could just stop watching Raw altogether. But Foley and the Cruiserweights are a very promising start.

me 2

I think that's the reason they did that as opposed to doing the obvious HHH thing.

While Steph's obviously being positioned as an obnoxious heel type, they can't load up one show with fan favorite/smark favorite stuff and have the other run by despot douchebags across the board.

Then we'd have North Korea and South Korea.

I actually love the easy flow back and forth between Shane ans Steph

I feel like they are used to taking shots at each other

Smackdown should draft all the cruiserweight to keep RAW from having any for their division

Just arrived.

The hell is Foley doing on Raw? I thought Triple H would be running things. Unless the work has piled him. Whatever.

Totally think they should do the draft Press Your Luck style.

"No jobber, no jobber. C'mon superstar, and...............STOP"

STOP.............AT VIKTOR! *insert whammy sound here*

Would kill for Raw to be Cena/Reigns/Orton/Sheamus/Dudleys/Big Show types and everyone else SD.

You shut your mouth. Bubba Dudley is a national treasure.

Well given there are 32 dudes participating in a WWE-sponsored tournament right now I'm pretty sure there's gonna be some of them jumping straight to Raw.

Paging Elijah Burke

Really? Baron Corbin is a Gold Gloves champ.

Better facts than the WWE "did you know" crap.

WHAT IF THE DRAFT SPLITS UP JERICHO AND HIS SCARF??

Lillian tryina steam Eden's ooooooooowwwwwwwweeeennss. But failing.

Got a better chance of winning the lotto than the Zayn/Owens feud ever ending.

yeah, forgot about Usos. My bizzle

Jericho to Raw, the other three to SD in my world.

I agree, not big on the picks either. I'm fine with DB but Raw could have got someone better than Foley in my opinion. Cruiserweight title should be on Smackdown where it has history. No way Smackdown even has a chance to top Raw. 1st pick, more picks, and the Cruiserweight title all for Raw.

Can't wait for Raw to draft La Parka.

As promising as the GMs may seem (to some), pro wrestling is still not keeping afloat. I've seen a lot of good segments lately, but I still think they need to solidify it as a more adult-oriented show. To take the successful attitude days down to a child-friendly format is like taking Reservoir Dogs and making a Disney cartoon adaptation of it.

It'll be interesting to see the result of the title match tonight. I can't see a reason why Raw wouldn't draft the champion with the first pick, so I assume if Ambrose wins, he's going to Raw. If he loses, I'd guess they've decided they want him on Smackdown, and they realized they couldn't come up with a plausible explanation as to why the Raw GM wouldn't draft the fucking world champion right out of the gates.

Definitely interested to see who the NXT 6 will be who will be drafted. I think Finn, Bayley and Nakamura are all safe bets.

Ambrose retains via some kind of convoluted shenanigans.

Maybe his scarf can get revenge on Ambrose for murdering Blinky the Jacket if both are on the same show.

Well, that was...something...

Not sure about Nakamura, given his title program with Joe coming up, and I suspect they may want to get him a bit more comfortable with the WWE machine and more regular English promos first.

There was an NXT "curtain call" a few days ago with Finn, American Alpha, Bayley, and Nakamura through.

For the love of god Bryan, don't draft them.

Was that ...

This GM job is definitely going to cut into his tree planting time.
