Road to Wrestlemania XXVII

Draft tonight. Yup. I like an oul draft.

Hart Dynasty vs Showmiz for the titles tonight. I hope Bret screws the Harts for some reason and he would go heel. :lol:

ā€œExtreme Rulesā€ :rolleyes: was some drag last night.

The Sun called it ā€œPg Rulesā€. I read the end to the Cena/Batista match. Sounded like a joke. :lol:

I hadnā€™t the heart to sit through that one so only watched as far as Edge v Jericho which itself was cringe. The strap match awful too. In fact the whole thing sucked ballsā€¦

Great start to RAW tonight, opening with a really good match. That match was comfortably better than anything at last nights Extreme Rules PPV.

The Hart Dynasty defeated Shomwmiz to become the new unified tag team champions.

Anyone watch the draft? Raw is heavily weighted now with big names it seems.

Smackdown is moving Channel soon so they want to make the product as appealing as watching a steaming lump of shite. The problem I have with this is that the booking on RAW is horrendous. Smackdown has/had solid low-mid-upper card booking. RAW just focuses on about 4 wrestlers. Hopefully this will change now though, maybe the Smakdown bookers will be drafted too :stuck_out_tongue: hereā€™s hoping.

Good points Flano. So Smackdown is left with the likes of Swagger, Christian, Punk, Big Show, McIntyre, MVP, Mysterio, Kofi Johnston and Cody Rhodes as their main players (Iā€™m purposefully excluding Undertaker from this as i presume heā€™ll take a prolonged break for a while). Not exactly a stellar line-upā€¦

Seems a bit heel heavy.
Who is the top face there then?
Mysterio? Christian?

Whereas on the other side you have Orton, Cena, Edge.

I smell a ā€œblockbuster tradeā€ in the works.
Orton for the SES?

[/quote]The company went downhill after the invasion storyline in 01,the follow up change of name to WWE from WWF(i know that was out of Vinces control)and the terrible decision to cut the company into two seperate brands(three for a few years)was a joke,they can have all the drafts they want but the place peaked during the attitude era.

RAW looks like it has a serious amount of big Names but its how they are used is what Iā€™m worried about. I actually like the look of Smackdown. CM Punk, Swagger, Christian & McIntyre they can have some great storylines there.

On another note. I was told an interesting fact last night by Shinzon that the 3 hour PPV Extreme Rules actually had more match time than the 4 hour Wrestlemania. Looks like somebody is listening and cutting down on the amount of videos and shit that clog up the PPV broadcasts

Josh Matthews and Michael Cole on NXT discussing Daniel Bryan failing his latest task:

Cole: Well ladies and gentlemen, this guy is an absolute tool. He lost again.
Matthews: Have you ever tried to look in a mirror (to Cole)?
Cole: A mirror?
Matthews: Youā€™re the definition of a tool.
Cole: Whatā€™s it to you?
Matthews (interrupts): Youā€™re a tool box actually.

:clap:

Outstanding :clap:

Anyone signing in tonight?

Edge has turned heel again. This is definitely for the best as he was the best heel in WWE there about a year or two ago. It was obvious this was the way he was going after his unprovoked spear on Randy Orton last week and was rubber stamped then on Smackdownā€¦

CALLING SHAN:

You have been very quiet of late buddy, are you signing in tonight?

Nobody wants to see Chris Masters as Wwe Champ. :lol:

Might sign in. I believe they having something big planned for next weeks show in Toronto regarding Bret.

Theyā€™re saying he could be getting his final send off next week. Not before time either, heā€™s not really been used properly and his whole comeback has been a disappointment for meā€¦

Worst angle of the year and worst match of the year so far. I hope Bret gets the sendoff he deserves.

Will Batista/Cena ever end?
