Is she doing the Brock Lesnar thing and popping up ever two or three months, or going to be active week in, week out? I worry for her if she's going part time as she will need to be in the ring as much as possible with decent workers to ensure she keeps developing. She won't be able to rely on someone like Triple H to lay the match out for her and lead her through forever. She has, however, shown that she has a bit of a knack for the technical side of the art and with enough in ring practice could be great! I think she's full-time with perhaps just one outstanding filming commitment that's almost wrapped (if it hasn't already). She's at least been training at the PC full-time and by all accounts she seems to want to do the full boat in terms of the schedule. Personally I wouldn't use her in the ring every week on TV - at least initially. Think there's still plenty of stardust there that they can keep making her initial matches quite marquee/must-see. If she's definitely doing the full schedule then I think they wheel her out for gradually more and more non-tv live event matches as the year progresses so she continues to to grow in that regard, before she's gradually rolled out for more TV matches and then before you know it we'll be getting the big build with Charlotte, possibly as soon as eight months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other tag teams on the roster are the likes of Gallows & Anderson, The Revival, The Miztourage, Heath Slater & Rhyno and Titus Worldwide. Those kind of C-show shitehawks weren't getting a spot on the main card of WrestleMania before Braun Strowman and Nicholas came along. Cesaro and Sheamus would've either been in the Andre battle royal or done some kind of angle with Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt - or both of those things at the same time.

DootDootDoot Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 What I meant was that I would have built one of those teams well enough for them to have meant something by the time it came around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted April 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2018 I can’t remember how the Superstar Shakeup works. Will Smackdown’s roster be on Raw tonight? Are they prepared for Daniel Bryan to be the most over man on the show?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 A resurgent Bryan's got to be going to Raw, right? I mean the blooms been off the 'both brands are sort of equal!' rose for at least a year now, in similar trajectory to the first brand split where anything of note was sure to wind up on Raw by the end of 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the majority of them just came out for a match or interview segment etc which is how the reveals were done so if it’s the same we will find out RAW’s picks tonight and SD tomorrow as storyline wise, it is the GM’s who have already decided who they are swapping.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2018 That was a better way to do it than fucking about with tumblers or whatever. Only problem was Smackdown got fucked in the arse by it. Expect the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted April 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2018 The whole roster is reportedly at Raw. The way they’ve fucked up Roman Reigns  so spectacularly, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they put him on the same show as Daniel Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeronimoJacksBeard Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 If they're to ever turn Roman proper, he NEEDS to be on the same show as D-Bry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I just love how everyone will be sitting in the back together like nothing happened a few weeks before Survivor Series with the 'Under Siege' going on. I am guessing with Rollin's T Shirt selling well he will stay on Raw?

Only problem was Smackdown got fucked in the arse by it. Expect the same again. I think the idea was good, the execution was terrible. Ambrose just bowled out and you wasn't even sure if he'd moved over or not. They made virtually no fuss over anyone switching brands on Raw, there was no bravado. I don't think you can have the GMs pick who they want either, as they'd end up looking like mugs because they won't even pick the top guys. They need FIFA or UEFA, a shitload of bowls full of balls, some ex wrestlers standing their awkwardly holding out pieces of paper with names on them and a pointless opening ceremony. THAT'S how you do this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Worst Superstar Shake-Up/draft ever? Smackdown suddenly looks like the best show in the world. Kurt Angle is terrible at negotiating. Mahal, Corbin, Ziggler, Roode? What a horrific draft class. And trading The Miz away? Useless. Still, Sami Zayn is brilliant. Roman’s double fucked, and he’s not nearly as playful enough, or have a light enough touch, to get away with ‘lazy fat ass’ as an insult. The Rock might get away with that still, but for most people in 2018 you’re just going to sound like a cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
