Why not book Brock vs Rey for that Smackdown, the match never really starts because Cain runs in right at the bell and you end Smackdown with a chaotic brawl.

WWE saw him officially break the length of Jinder's title run and were like "okay that's enough of that, cut it off immediately"

There are about a million different ways you can take the belt off Kofi without making him look like a hapless geek, but this company is also run by racists so :shrug:

We’ve already seen Brock have great matches with many different smaller agile quick dudes. He clearly loves doing that kind of match! poo poo sucks.

WWE gave away the results of their full draft on their own site, in order, a day ago and nobody noticed until the first 10 picks matched the exact same order on a show they didn't have to watch https://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/article/preliminary-wwe-draft-pools

Can we just go back in time a week and realize how unsurprising it is the white supremacist network had the white supremacist punchy man beat a black guy in like five seconds for the championship?

I don't think anyone said it was necessarily surprising, as a neutral party the reaction from the threads seemed (aside from one person) almost completely on the "oh gently caress this poo poo" side, even from the people who usually defend that type of title change as "Wait And See"

LividLiquid
Apr 13, 2002

Oh, for sure it was refreshing that nobody defended it, but I'm amazed we all expected anything else.

This is the network of Tucker Carlson, for gently caress's sake. The Fox-news-to-white-terrorism pipeline is totes a thing.

I guess I just expected this kind of thing to be less blatant.

Terry Bradshaw was on the Fox Panel discussing their favorite wrestlers, and his favorite was Dusty Rhodes. I wonder what the Rhodes family is doing right now? Everybody else's choices were Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Bruno Sammartino and Killer Kowalski. Not a single modern wrestler, not even anybody from the Attitude Era.

I've got the advantage. You've got nothing.
In typical WWE fashion, they uploaded the preliminary draft listing the Day 1 and Day 2 pools of all the wrestlers that are draft eligible, only for the order they're listed in to be 90% accurate to the actual draft selection order.

Well done, WWE. You made me laugh for reasons not your own.

Guess that means Charlotte is off to RAW to feud with Becky, and Smackdown will be the Bayley/Sasha feud-a-thon.

EDIT: I went back to check the page with the draft pools, they rearranged the names into alphabetical order because they KNEW they hosed up.

It was only as low as 90% accurate because they realized over an hour into the show that it was 100% correct and quickly dropped further down the list to make their "picks" in an effort to hide that they'd hosed up, but still stuck with the clear Raw/Smackdown divisions they'd already made.

The second halves were all nobodies and low carders though so it's probably not going to spoil anything for Monday, unfortunately.
