One of the most anticipated shows in recent memory is on the way. We will probably have two live threads every week and it could get exhausting. But we'll have fun with it for now. Watch if you want.....oh who are you kidding? We're all watching.

Very nice!
Especially the talk about different production.
Shoot Smackdown like NXT and it'll be great.

Smackdown has already been a bit different recently. Especially the openings.

The main events have honestly been great for some time on Smackdown. It's been usually dominated by AJ/Ambrose/Rollins/Zayn/Cesaro/Owens/Miz(who honestly works well with those guys). I DVR it & pretty much only watch matches involving them.
The final main event on Thursday Smackdown was Rollins/Owens vs Ambrose/Zayn. Hopefully it continues.
They had a thing on wwe.com where you could draft your own roster. I did mine, it was pretty fun actually.

That final 4-way main event on Smackdown was pretty dang good. Really enjoyed it.

I'll be pulling a KS for this event. I am going to the Cubs game that night so I will be watching it off the ol' DVR.

Balor Nakamura Bayley American Alpha Bobby Roode Austin Aries Do you think Bayley will be Sasha's partner on Sunday? |

I wanna say no but that's a nice way to debut her.

Balor
Bayley
American Alpha
Aries
Nia Jax (I fear this one. She's definitely not ready, however I read the next set of TV tapings & she wasn't used on them at all, which makes me wonder. She's in that Dana Brooke category where she'd get brought up WAY too quick, but I do think it might be her)
I don't see them bringing up both, but seeing as they are doing Joe/Nakamura at Takeover, I assume the loser of that will be the one who gets the call. Joe has held the title for a while, but Nakamura being in NXT seems like a waste. Love the matches, but still, he's a major name.

I think they will leave Balor or Nakamura on NXT. Balor makes the most sense.

Balor Nakamura Bayley American Alpha Bobby Roode Austin Aries Do you think Bayley will be Sasha's partner on Sunday? With all of the Twittah back and forth between them, I would have to say yes she will be. |

Raw gets the 1st pick and for every 3 picks that Raw gets, SD gets 2.
They're already made SD look weak in doing that. They should've just had one pick at a time. Instead they make Raw look better.
Reason is because Raw is 3 hours, but who cares? They use filler shit for at least an hour each week anyway!

Couldn't they have drawn this out into a great 3 or 4 months of defections, firings, alliances and factions to create 2 shows "organically" instead of doing this kind of stupid 1 and one draft?

That would've been smart. Start in January when Smackdown moved to USA. Little things here and there. Guys being frustrated. Then it is more natural than "forcing" this. |

Then when you have Shane lose at Mania he says it won't be the last you hear from him. He gathers his troops underground over the next few months and then he announces he is taking over smackdown and its going live. It would have been awesome. |

The President of each team selected their GM the night before the draft.

One of the Presidents acted like he was going to be hit by a potential number one pick when he rolled to the outside.
