You know what the real bitch is? I have Class Tuesday from 5:30 To 8 so I haven't seen any of these good smackdown episodes :'( All I've seen and heard sounds &^@#ing great; Usos are finally being used properly, Cena has been pushed to the backburner; AJ has the title. Considering the amount of talent WWE is amassing, I think they are due for another boom in popularity...something big needs to change in the back though; Personally, I think NXT's former head writer Ryan Ward - Who is now on Smackdown, is the key catalyst to alot of Smackdown's success, because NXT hasn't been that great since he left, and Smackdown has shown great improvement since the split.

I have to agree. You'd be better off getting a sub to EA Access and playing through Need For Speed. Or buying Forza 6(No, Not Horizon. :| )

Gaming has been awesome this year, you'r just being cynical and negative.

RIP Punk.

Honestly, based on the way HHH came in and took care of things and the way that Steph and Mick were like "WTF bro?!", I think its alot more likely we see Triple HHH doing something new here(Hunter V Mick/Steph Feud?). Personally, I'm hoping for a new NXT-driven Evolution style group with Owens and HHH as the base; Perhaps they bring up some pairing of Dillinger, Aries, Joe, Roode or The Revival and then cap it off with a new Orton-Esque like Prospect(Patrick Clark comes to mind, but he may still be too green for this) Not in a million years would I have predicted that.

The Belt is back in Canada.

I skipped Raw/Smackdown last week as soon as I saw they went back to recapping the whole show every 5 minutes - and I skipped Raw last night; They've gone back to following Vince's formula already.

Maybe, but they still don't have anybody on the roster I'm excited to see. Derrick Bateman and the Hardy Boyz? I don't care. The Broken Matt Hardy thing is cool and has been interesting to follow online, but at this point, I think TNA is on Life Support in the ICU; the initials TNA have gone from being cool and interesting/exciting as a wrestling fan, to a total joke. There was a time when TNA could have been what NXT is now, but they blew it, and I don't care what they do as a company anymore, TNA is just another little indy promotion, good for helping ex-WWE talent find their "thing" - beyond that I hope they can somehow re-brand that company and rebuild for the future; but I've been let down by them too many times to go back(stopped watching/truly following around '10 - still keep up with interesting things on Youtube once in awhile) I do appreciate the free stream of talent that TNA has provided WWE - I just wish they had been more willing to work with eachother(WWE/TNA); Imagine if WWE/TNA had signed a talent deal and TNA was NXT, imagine TNA Impact on the WWE Network and on TV in some form; It could have been glorious.

I didn't think anybody was actually able to find/watch TNA on a weekly basis.

I don't think he needs a manager, I think he needs more freedom, and less scripts to think about; when he was able to just "Shoot from the hip" he had something, he sounded a bit bitter and pissed off - and we need more of THAT Cesaro, the talent is there, he just needs to be unleashed. Am I the only one that LOVED the Sasha/Charlotte/Enzo/Y2J Segment last night? - GREAT to see mixed tag matches back, and GREAT To see them trying to see if Enzo can stand on his own two feet.

4 Billion dollars and they still don't care enough to pay fighters any kind of sustainable income or actually implement some sort of punishment system for this sort of thing besides giving guys a couple of years off to train/do more drugs. That's all I'm going to say on this; I think anymore keystrokes would be a waste.

*eyeroll* You're missing the point. Entirely.

ALL Fighters put their life in danger stepping into the Octagon. - Cyborg Santos' face is proof of that. You have to be able to have faith in the UFC and and the USADA to do their jobs - clearly they aren't and they don't give a $&!# about the fighters at all, if they did - paydays would reflect that, and alot more drastic measures would be in place to catch fighters that are cheating. You didn't know anything, neither did I, and neither did Mark Hunt - We all sure as hell could have guessed, but again, you are supposed to be able to rely on the company you're fighting for to help keep you safe - especially if they are the worlds largest promotion, and you're supposed to be able to rely on the USADA to keep things on an even playing field, but again, clearly they don't care There are no penalties for these cheaters, and currently no course of action for fighters to take, Brock wasn't punished in any way shape or form and Mark Hunt gets to deal with injuries from fighting up some roided up POS for the third time because the UFC and the USADA wouldn't protect him? I'd be furious too.

No, Ziggler is NOT expendable when you only have the Smackdown roster to pick from; You said it yourself - Baron Corbin is supposedly one of the top 6 guys on Smackdown - Can you really spare Dolph when your top end talent pool is that shallow? He will be utilized; I do however understand entirely how you feel, Dolph has been push-teased, and then relegated back to the midcard so many times, and for a very long time, its the people around him that made me go "Wtf are you doing? He's very important now, although I don't think he'll be given the title(yet) I do think its a step in the right direction for his career. Considering Roman Reigns was pinned twice, clean in a 48 hours period, I really feel like anything can happen in WWE for the first time in a very long time. The leash seems to have been lengthened regarding everything - promos and storyline are seeming more intelligent, in-ring promos are back instead of being exclusive on the WWE network .... I could go on, but the change is obvious Raw is the established roster; Smackdown is a hybrid of youth - and veterans to try and create new talent and try new things - the group they have on Smackdown reminds me of the first time they did a brand split - Raw looked totally stacked compared to Smackdown, but thanks to some great veterans like Undertaker and Kurt Angle - they were able to build up new Talent like that John Cena guy. The split should(IN THEORY) give the writing team more time to focus on a single show, It should give the wrestlers themselves a bit of a break and in turn increase roster durability(Which honestly, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that THAT was the whole reason behind this draft and split)

My bad; I misunderstood and thought you were referring to the show's actual content and not the awesome new set they came out with.

Uhhh, You might want to clarify WHICH wCw you're referring to, that can be taken two very different ways, lol. Fantastic RAW from Top to Bottom - Top that, Smackdown.

3:20:20 For a Super Pissed off Mark Hunt and I wholeheartedly agree.

...If anybody wants to see a taste of the Rey Mysterio Jr. that captivated in WCW/ECW - Watch Prince Puma VS Rey Mysterio! Rey looks like he's down AT LEAST 30-40 pounds - This Rey would put on some AMAZING matches in WWE with damn near anybody on the roster.

I understand your thinking, but considering they are starting up a new cruiserweight division, and considering Kota Ibushi, Cedric Alexander, Gran Metalik, and Akira Tozawa have all been offered contracts, I expect it will be one of them that wins it to help push a new star - Tajiri doesn't need it, we all still love Tajiri, lol.

Fixed that for you. Not WWE my friend - although I sure as hell wish Shane O Mac had it.

Uhhh, I didn't think that was illegal; since it was technically a video of a stream, but I suppose you're right; I'd rather not tempt fate - Links will be removed in a sec.
