Wrestling...thats right, Wrestling!

It'll still 3 hours + a week. It's way too much.

If you change the presentation, scrap the announcers and stop shoving Reigns down people's throats then put the Rock, Lesnar, Nakamura and a 5 star match on each week it still wouldn't be worth it.

You have to wonder how they try to attract new viewers. I mean what would you think if you flicked the channel and thought, "oh this looks interesting"... "wait it's on for 3 hours every Monday?"

Thoughts on payback last night? I thought it was going to be a trainwreck after Enzo's injury like 2 minutes in..Hope hes alright, that looked awful. they recovered well I thought....The Natyla/Charlotte match was interesting with the finish..Wish Natalya was a bit more pissed off, Cerzaro and the Miz was great, Owens and Zayn stole the show

[Malcolm]

Thoughts on brand extension?

[Alan]

could be a very good thing, or a complete disaster.

If HHH gets the majority of booking control for Smackdown I would be very happy with that

[AtariLegend]

Thoughts on brand extension?

Will be a fucking abortion.

If the show is this bad now, how will cutting the number of wrestlers on the show in half improve it?

It didn't in 2002, it won't work now. At least in 2002 they had some depth to fill SmackDown with and could occasionally put on a 4 star match in the first 2 years.

Now? They have less depth and they've defined their midcard talent like Ambrose as jobbers to the top guys.

The 2 most pushed people on this show is Reigns (who's killing their ratings, lowering the house show attendance at the shows he's head-lining, cheered by 20 something women... but hated by the audience, has no charisma and is only pushed because he's a big guy, one of their top 10 merchandise sellers and because they're to suborn to push someone people actually like) and Stephanie fucking McMahon.

Reigns got a wellness suspension...

[Malcolm]

Lesnar vs Orton at Summerslam and likely Sasha vs Charlotte, two good matches so far

Has anyone got a chance to check out the First two episodes of the CWC on the network.  Just like NXT the Wwe is doing a great job

Such good wrestling so far.   I highly recommend it for any wrestling fan with the network

[Malcolm]

Draft was pretty good

Draft was pretty good

It has gotten my interest back. I may watch the main product again  mother than the big 4 events

My son has turned into a huge cena fan.   I honestly don't get it. But it's pretty cool to see him with the wrist band on. Lol

Decent ppv
 Owens vs zayn stole the show

I am just glad Reigns didnt walk away with the strap. Ambrose holding on to it was a pleasan surprise.

[D-GenerationX]

Very solid show last night.

Meh.  Short the ttle match snd ko vs zane, i thought it was sorta mediocre, but its battleground, so thats what i expected.

I admit to popping hard (and not THAT way) to Baylee coming out (NOT THAT WAY) to team up with Banks. That mght have been third best match of the night, for me.

And i always lve the new day, though the outcome was boring and predictable.

[D-GenerationX]

pilferk, yay or nay on Enzo & Big Cas?

I like 'em....but i think they were wasted this ppv with cena. I'd much rather see them in a straight up fued with gallows and anderson vs having them pulled into a cena storyline.

And, honestly, watching styles beat up cena 1v1 is more fun, too.

[pilferk]

OK...if last night's RAW is any indication of what we'll get for the brand extention, I'm in.

Last night's RAW might be the best I've seen in 3 years.  Great matches, and I would never, ever, ever have seen the outcome of the Main Event in a million years.  I figured, for sure, they were just setting him up as fodder for the man everyone hates. Just unreal.
