[7/19] WWE Draft on Live Smackdown Thread - It's Time To Shake Things Up Again! (Live Updates in OP)

#SDSet

Seriously, the SD Roster is not THAT bad

Cena, Styles, Orton, Wyatt, Dean, Miz, AA, Del Rio, Kalisto, Crews just to name a few. Not THAT bad

The title situation is fukked up and you can tell that they didn't decide on the draft fully until today

Naomi and Alexa Bliss on SD! plus Jojo I think is still the ring announcer. They won the Ass race.

Some ppvs are gonna be Raw vs Smackdown

The main 4 are cross brand but then they will have 1 ppv a month per brand, what then?

Agreed on Finn's limitations, never been a fan of dude even when people were overrating him as a New Japan Jr.

But if Ambrose was able to catch fire and ride that momentum to stay in meaningful angles and always be a player, Balor might too. It's all gonna depend on how the crowd reacts to him and if they can look past his "meh" wrestling skills like they did with Dean. Finn doesn't have the promos like Ambrose to try to connect with people, but he has a gimmick that will help him - specially because Triple H will put him in a position to succeed, at least in the beginning - and if they are doing the Balor Club he might also get a nice stable to start...just like Dean.

Balor is also tiny and doesn't look legit at all facing bigger guys. At no point do you think AJ can't hang with dudes like Roman and Cena, but Balor doesn't even look legit against some of the slightly bigger NXT guys. That's definitely going to hurt him. He's like...Bryan size, but without the genuinely likable underdog aspect, the actual skills, or the personality.

Speaking of, SD's biggest star is Bryan. Who is the GM and can't ever wrestle. And he's basically their big draw. This draft was a terrible idea, and an absolute abortion in practice.

They actually have the Rock as a draftee?

 

[CBoz]

they didn't have to do Slater like that

he was all excited about it too

if he goes to NXT, could be a good thing.

Keeping Sami and Kevin together ....that's going to be their retcon every year for them two.

Charlotte's negative booty brings Raw down too

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

He's going heel and joining the Club. Rollins is turning Face to go up against HHH at Summerslam. When Rollins wins belt this Sunday he will feud with Balor.

Summerslam Raw Fueds

WWE Title
Roman Reigns (c) vs Finn Balor w/Balor Club?

Teacher vs Student
HHH vs Seth Rollins

Dream Match
Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton

 

[TOAD99]

Hopefully we get an AJ run. Fourth pick overall

 

[DoubleJ13]

WWE over thinks the most simple things sometimes. Just announced last night they were bringing crusierweights to Raw & put Kalisto on SD.

What yall think Strong Broham gone do on his own?

Keeping Sami and Kevin together ....that's going to be their retcon every year for them two.

He tore is ACL, his time table to come back is not anytime soon, that's why he wasn't in the draft.

 

[8WON6]

Well at least we might get some of that Survivor Series parking lot brawling. I remember back when Big Show and Kane kept fukking up Batista that one year in the build up to the Sur. Series.

 

[LastManStanding]

Slater gonna win some fans with this shyt

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

Braun Stroman is trash Hell be doing comedy angles with Golden Truth by October.
