I don't hate it, but it's obvious that this roster is dire. It's going to have to build a midcard and the main events are going to have to carry it until that happens.

Problem is, I don't know how to make people really give a poo poo about the tag teams or the women's division with nothing at stake.

If they're doing brand ppvs I'd imagine they'll get a tag title and a women's title (and it'll be a big purple butterfly)

It's a more cartoony flavor. Golden Truth would work better over here from how it seems.

Seems like the Hype Bro's are how Zack Ryder is gonna be billed for the time being.

Also, did they just flat out drop the dozen women coming out for introductions?

Why did the Vaudevillians compete in tank tops and Jeans during that battle royal?

And finally, Is anyone else getting a touch annoyed at "YAAAY! I'm the GM but won't interfere in poo poo except to start a Title contest of some kind!" I don't know where it was mentioned, but something like Miz/Maryse using DQ's/count outs to retain all the time is something a gm should come out and put a stop to

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Raw felt like a fresh new show with a new direction, Smackdown kind of feels like well Smackdown.

Still early days yet and I love Eva's new intro so, at least one think I like.

I'll admit, if the goal is to build up the narrative of "Randy could beat Brock by outlasting him and then landing the ONE RKO" this is a really solid first step.

Dominating a match with someone who will presumably be in the main event scene only to lose when he got hit with his opponents finisher? That sounds like a good way to use the IC champion to me.

This show has all of the changes needed to be good. Like Raw, they are focusing on in-ring competition and treating things with gravity. However, they just don't have the roster outside of the main event scene to deliver like Raw did last night.

Shelton will fix all of this.
