[Athlai]

Smackdown is superior in every division by a big distance IMO. Hardly any SD singles guys I don't want to see feuding (Cass/English alone/Dillinger/Truth/Sin Cara) ALL of the tags are great, and all but the The Club/Usos have guys in it that you would like to see as singles blokes at some stage. The Smackdown Women is stacked top to bottom, I think Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose are far better than the Riott minions, and that there isn't an actual weak spot at all in that roster.

It honestly seems like 15 years ago when Raw was the big entertainment show, and SD just quietly has these great wrestlers.

How long before they start to make more trades to fix the problem they've created for themselves?

 

[Niall]

SD seems better on paper, but ultimately the creative team is the absolute shits. Raw despite been to long and having a part timer as champion has been better creatively for a while especially in the Mania build.

The men singles bar Orton, plenty can be done with. Tag team wise I'd like The USOS and New day on different shows, but Smackdown stronger.

Obviously despite Tamina still been around to stink the joint, Smackdown seems much stronger regarding the ladies. Hopefully they turn Mandy Rose soonish.

Road Dogg has the potential to **** Smackdown up as he is that awful, but somewhat confident that even that clown won't ruin this opportunity.

 

[Niall]

And tbf when it comes to women, the only thing Road Dogg knows how to book is six women tag matches.

Concerning that he seems to be going with Bryan v Cass also when so many more exciting choices.

I'm assuming Cass will work for Miz. It also gets genuine heat since people don't like Cass and they love Daniel Bryan. I don't mind DBry having a mini feud with a spud he can beat like Cass. I'll hate it if it drags on or he loses though.

 

[Niall]

Yeah Cass isn't totally awful, but much more talented dudes Bryan can lose to and put over strong if they want to go down that route. It will be fine as a filler feud for now.

Think Finn is the big loser in the draft, he isn't exactly going to be losing to Goldust soon but a move to SD might have got him to the next level.I don't think anyone on SD will be that annoyed right now, Charlotte i thought might be drafted, but obviously they want to keep her and RR apart for now.

 

[Athlai]

Finn is a weird place right now. Reckon he needs to turn heel but hes pretty over as a face and now has this LGBT support thing which may make him becoming a dastardly heel in slightly poor taste.

 

[Niall]

Its very strange with him, he clearly can work and looks great but his character at times is dull.

However that's more due to the fact they struggle to book babyfaces and for the most part only seem comfortable booking heels. I'd like them to persist with him as a face and maybe turn him in a few months if he stuck in his current (moderate) rut.

I reckon Raw is lacking a top heel a bit. I do really like KO and Zayn but they're not quite top heel level. I'd have two of Reigns/Rollins/Ambrose/Balor turn heel this year. Instead we'll probably get Corbin get a big push and Mahal.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

This past week I've basically done nothing but play video games and watch Samurai TV 24/7. What a dream. I've seen the latest ZERO-1 show like 10 times now.

 

[Athlai]

Just watched the end of Smackdown .

Holy ****, Nakamura out of nowhere to deeply punch AJ in the balls and then moving around like a total freak. It’s so good.

 

[Shri]

He doesn't want the title, he wants AJ's balls.

 

[Athlai]

Nakamuraa low blow is the best I’ve ever seen.

 

[Dan]

Really hoping they go full NJPW faction wars here. Bullet Club, Sanity and New Day are all there, pair Nakamura with Joe and Shelton or something, and then find some allies for Almas and you've basically got trios that align to each of the New Japan factions.

 

[Dan]

Wait, this can go more meme. This calls for a table.

This is a ****ing terrible idea. Do it immediately.

Love it. LI in particular but it should definitely be Joe-Gun

Bruno's dead.

Joe = Ishii was too good to pass up tbh

 

[Firebreaker]

I dont know why there aren't any factions in WWE right now. Miztourage was looking good but then Bo and Axel were completely useless.
