Yes, after a steady diet of steak and ketchup.wraps, you won't be having any shits for a while.

I'm really bored of Dean now and skipped through most of his Ppv match with Jericho. He's gone from sleazy Pillman to jeggings Doink.

Not a fan of the idea of a brand split if they go that route.

No way am I regularly watching two WWE weekly shows though so I'm not a fan of splitting the roster. I guess if Smackdown's better I may just switch to that. I should actually have USA legally by then so I can watch that and Tuesday Nitro at the same time.

They're presumably going to center this around the Shane/Steph angle by making each the authority figure of one of the shows.

Wonder if they'll split the WWE WHC again?

brand-split live smackdown is some wild poo poo to wake up to

I hope it is The Good Show and continues to be two hours long and I'll watch the hell out of it but like I've posted before I'm not exactly optimistic they won't gently caress up the roster split and just make everyone angry that now they're expected to watch five goddamn hours of wrestling

That's like two hours tops with selective fast forward, unless it's a really good week.

If they split the world title again, at least 3 of Owens/Zayn/Styles/Nakamura/Finn are going to SD

I really hope they don't. Give each show a secondary title and let the World, Women's, and Tag belts float between them.

TNA is going to get loving slaughtered. If anything would bring their viewership down to Lucha Underground levels, this is probably it.

I doubt they split the title again since the IC title has been main eventing SD pretty much since they moved it to USA. It'll probably just stay that way.

Judging from that documentary they did about him, I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual. If I'm not mistaken, the McMahon's don't rate him as a booker at all.
