I know I'm replying to a joke post, but probably not at all, outside of MAYBE part of a video package. Pretty sure this is a Triple H thing through and through, and she's only appeared on non main roster network events two or three times. (Takeover, and I think one or two episodes of NXT)

I'm curious about the announce team. I'm guessing JR as PBP, probably, considering this tertiary Network stuff makes the most sense for his current deal, and then maybe Mickie for colour? (They have to use a woman for the colour spot, right? They can't be that dumb)

It will probably be Lita since she is their go-to woman for color commentary.

Lita would be my guess, but I'd love to see someone like Molly Holly do it.

STOP DOING HEROIN
Meltzer got some details about the Paige movie and they took some ... creative liberties with the story.

quote:

We got some notes on the “Fighting with My Family” movie that Dwayne Johnson is doing, inspired by the TV special on the Bevis family that aired a few years ago. I could see watching that piece where you’d get the idea to do a comedy movie because everyone in the family are characters. Stephen Marchant, who was the co-creator of “The Office,” wrote ad directed the movie, which has already finished production. The storyline is that the Knight family are a broke, trailer park trash type of family from Norwich that run their own small wrestling company. The father, Ricky, played by Nick Frost, served time, but tried to turn his life around running a wrestling company, but it’s a money losing company and in the money they are constantly on the run from people they owe money to. His wife, Julia (Sweet Saraya), is played by Lena Headey). In the movie they have two children, Zak (played by Jack Lowden) and Saraya (played by Florence Pugh). Roy Knight, the other brother who wrestles, doesn’t exist in the movie. Also in the movie, even though the parents run a wrestling company, the kids aren’t wrestlers as apparently it would ruin a place they want to go. The kids want to be wrestlers in the WWE. The idea was that the two kids just bugged WWE officials so badly they were given a tryout. That’s where you can’t have them previously wrestling because it’s the comedy of the tryout of them not knowing what they’re doing, when actually both were fairly experienced at wrestling when they got their tryout. Also, the idea is it’s a joke they’re getting a tryout wouldn’t fit because in reality everyone pretty much knew of Britani Knight and she was probably the most popular of the women wrestlers in the U.K. and was pretty much a lock to be signed. The WWE signs Saraya and not Zak, which is how it happened. The fact was on the Knights’ shows, Paige was the star of the shows because she was a pretty girl and Zak, who was the better wrestler and wanted it more, had no special look. So in the movie, she ends up in the U.S. knowing nothing, but a kindly coach, played by heavy hitter Vince Vaughn, takes her under his wing at NXT (which is referenced as NXT even though it wasn’t NXT at the time). The coach teaches her to set her mind to it after she wants to quit at first. The film makes it look like Saraya is struggling in developmental when in actuality, she was a hit immediately because she was a very pretty young woman who looked more like a pretty girl who looked like she could be the prettiest girl in the college (at the time the crowd was almost all Full Sail University male students) as opposed to the other women who didn’t look like young college girls, but more models. The story culminates in Paige winning the title over A.J. Lee at WrestleMania in a pretty much exact duplicate of what happened, except when it happened it was the Raw the day after Mania. Dwayne Johnson has some cameos as The Rock, showing up at the U.K. tryout and also giving her pointers before her title win

Man, now that they've split Alexa and AJ onto different shows I really can't be bothered with watching either Raw or Smackdown.

At least with them both sitting on Smackdown I'd have two segments I wanted to watch on one show, but now it's one apiece and I really can't be bothered with it.

Shane was on Austin's podcast and more or less confirmed that Road Dogg books Smackdown:

quote:

Let’s separate the two shows for a second; Raw and SmackDown. SmackDown has a lot more spontaneity than Raw. I think it’s because it’s not as regulated as much as Raw. Raw is #1 and has become the longest reigning TV show in episodic television history. SmackDown is #2 or #3, anyway back to SmackDown Live. Kudos to Brian James, everyone is working hard to come up with that spontaneity to give the guys and girls an opportunity they wouldn’t have had if it had been under one brand. So we try to take having the right opportunity along with telling the right stories. Whatever your story is, let’s make the best out of these two guys. Well, they don’t yet because we don’t know their story so let’s make them care.

No mention of Ryan Ward :allears:

Braun is smart. Get "injured" before a program with Brock Lesnar so you don't have to have a lovely match with him where he does nothing but suplexes, gives you nothing, and kills all your heat. Just like Daniel Bryan missing the Summerslam match so John Cena got destroyed instead.

This guy is already a political mastermind and will dominate the WWE for years to come. Braun owns
