Paid Members Supremo Posted April 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2018 Miz vs. Bryan for the WWE Title at Summerslam sounds good to me. Imagine the video package they could put together for those two, going all the way back to when Bryan was Miz's NXT Rookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Really Big Shoe Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Am I right in thinking Raw can still get some higher profile names come over like Nakamura etc? Because if not this is the surely the worse trade ever. Smackdown just have Miz so far so they can pick up Finn, Braun etc. too. Can Raw sent Kanellis, Drew, Ascension to NXT or don't they factor into the equation?. Its made Kurt look like the most inept GM ever as Smackdown has dumped off a ton of deadwood with little tp no real upside. Should have made it like for like trades something like Roman for AJ, Usos for The Bar etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2018 You're overthinking it. Last year, Smackdown got the shitty end of the stick. Did it stop Daniel Bryan being insanely popular? Not a bit. A random draw would probably be a better explanation for why Raw would want fucking Mike Kanellis and the Ascension but it's irrelevent really. I think the only shame is that there wasn't a really big move. A Styles/Nakamura/Bryan would really shake things up. That said, while they pretend John Cena is a "free agent", it makes a mockery of it anyway because that's telling you who the real star is.

Paid Members Supremo Posted April 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) I can’t stop thinking about Roman’s promo. Every single week they try something new and every single week it fails beyond belief. He’s the worst babyface of all time. Whinging about Brock not being there when he beat the shit out of him every time he appeared. Saying he’s going to get the job done inside the Steel Cage when, from what I can remember, there was no interference at Wrestlemania and Brock beat him fair and square by being better than him. Also, this sulky, emo attitude at being given another title shot. The hell is that all about? Then Samoa Joe comes out and rips him to pieces and all he has in return is to call him fat. God, he’s such a fucking loser. He has to be turning heel, surely?! Edited April 17, 2018 by Supremo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaheer Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I don't think WWE could win with the shake up no matter what they do *Move people who aren't top stars* = Worse shake up of all time. *Move all the top Smackdown stars* = Smackdown is being buried and they're moving the stars to Raw. Vince hates the colour blue etc etc   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSF Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Basing this on last years Shakeup, Mojo Rawley will be Universal Champion within two months. Edited April 17, 2018 by PSF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted April 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Miz, Elias, probably Rhyno and Slater, Dash and Dawson and Titus Worldwide (including Dana), Hardy, Strowman and Goldust would be my guess from RAW. NXT wise I'd expect to see Andrade Almas and maybe The Street Profits be traded over though that does make it heavy on tag teams unless they are planning to move New Day apart. Already counting Asuka as moved. Less trades for a smaller two hour show but that really gives them a much stronger roster. Even Goldust could make IC champ off that. Shelton finally going solo as well is great for him and a chance to re-break out. Edited April 17, 2018 by Shy Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2018 Do they include NXT in the shake-up or is McIntyre a one-off? Obviously they just raided it last week but it would be a bit different if they included it in trades. Take someone like Chad gable. He could probably do with a reset. Trading him for Almas would seem like much less of a demotion if regal sold it as him demanding Gable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 NXT doesn't usually get included so they won't get any 'trades' to them; they haven't previously anyway (there were only call ups during the initial draft in 2016, no NXT roster were moved up in the 2017 shakeup). It'd be difficult to implement anyway as they've already taped up to some time in June I think. McIntyre wasn't touted as being traded from NXT anyway or even brought up in the same way that AOP/Ember Moon were last week, he seemed to be more brought in by Ziggler as an ally.

Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted April 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2018 Got tickets for the Raw tapings in a couple of weeks. Now have to suffer through Jinder, Nattie, Dolph and some of the other shit. I reckon Jeff Hardy will be the one moving to Smackdown over Rollins. Gonna keep that US title on Smackdown. Glad to see Drew but not with Dolph. Although, great tag finisher. How awful was that commercial for the dual brands ppvs? Absolute cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2018 Cole's "Oh my" when Ziggler walked out is the phoniest commentary I've ever heard and I've heard Mike Tenay and Don West reading off a sheet and the dying days of WCW.

The type of thing that absolutely reeks of Kevin Dunn and Vinny Mac trying to produce something contemporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boytoy Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hardy, Miz, Elias, Balor would be a great haul for Smackdown to complement what they have, Rollins would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
