Love-Wilcox Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I know I'm a week late but I just really wanted to say that the Roman Reigns segment/promo (can a single sentence be a promo ?) was amazing. I can see that being my favourite non-wrestling segment of the entire year (sorry festival of friendship). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Seems a bit odd that they aren't selling tonight's Raw as a Draft. Maybe they'll have Raw Vs SD matches to decide who picks. There's already some spoilers floating around about who goes where. But I would rather just watch the picks unfold so it's more of a surprise. I hope they send The New Day to SD so it cuts their entance and promos down.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2017 It's not technically a draft, is it? Some sort of 'shake-up', whatever that means. Some trades perhaps. It is surprising they aren't shilling it though, they probably haven't fully decided what's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted April 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2017 And it's happening over two nights as well for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gadge Posted April 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2017 Because Smackdown is also live and supposed to be equally important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted April 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2017 But they could get it all done in one night, They did when they done the draft last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gadge Posted April 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2017 Why the rush? They should do 5 trades per show, tops. They will probably move almost everyone so nobody stands out like previous drafts but hopefully not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 1 hour ago, The Clint said: Maybe they'll have Raw Vs SD matches to decide who picks. Always thought it was silly when they did this. I understand the "wanting my brand to be most popular so that I'm a bigger star" concept, but on the other side of that coin, most heels (and some faces) spend the rest of the year trying to rid WWE of their rivals for good, so why should they suddenly want to make things harder for themselves to hog the spotlight? As The Miz might say, "What's my motivation?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted April 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2017 The smartest draft they ever did was around 2005 where one new guy was drafted on each episode of Raw and Smackdown. Made it worthwhile to watch every show and you didn't get fatigued with all the red T-shirt vs. blue T-shirt bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briefcase Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I suppose thats 20 minutes less of Raw I have to watch each week if he is on the show. I wonder if they will move the whole Crusierweights over to Smackdown, probably in exchange for Apollo Crews and Ziggler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted April 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2017 What makes you think Apollo Crews is getting twenty minutes of TV time on Raw?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2017 No idea what I'd do with Apollo on either show. He's a great looking dude, built, great smile and flashy and powerful moves. But he just doesn't convey any emotion. Nothing at all comes across. I'd maybe turn him heel. Have him smiling after dastardly attacks and have him tease the flashy moves but not deliver them. I'm not convinced he's got it on the mic to get it across but they should try something before he's a write off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 If they want to turn him heel they might as well just give him a massive babyface push Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
