The RA era is the way WWE should be handled. You got whatever shit was going on in Raw with Orton, Cena, Hunter, Batista, whatever and the SD had the workhorses like Angle, Eddie, Rey, Benoit that were allowed to shine by being 'outcasted' to be B show, arguably making it the best of both.
Sort of like what AJ Styles is doing now, all by himself, despite having Cena... and Orton, and a mediocre roster to work with.
Thank fuck
Well yeah, New Day was hosting.

Just because we know they'll do it doesn't mean they need to do it. We know the WWE will push Reigns to the sun but we know they don't need to do it.
Don't know if this was posted earlier but JR's signed a two year contract with WWE.
That man could call a baked potato being microwaved and it would be captivating.

Vince has his Hardy Boyz again. He doesn't give a shit about Reigns and Balor's merch sales lol
Balor is tiny and has an accent.
Vince's dream? Not really. Not really even close.
If Hogan came out, you would mark. Don't lie
The only time I'll admittedly mark out for Hogan is Wrestlemania X8. That bastard isn't ruining that for me.
But then he had to outbuy Cena
It's pretty funny* how Rey is legit one of the most iconic wrestlers ever and Vince never saw potential in him.
*funny in this example meaning extremely bone-headed

Agreed. I find myself watching Smackdown mostly every week, in full, because I care about pretty much everyone on the roster. I just skim through most of the Raws if I even bother watching them at all.
I hope they send some of these rumored NXT callups to SD because if they all go to Raw it's really going to hurt the brand split angle.

Hasn't he been doing house shows for like a month?

Couldn't save last night's clusterfuck. Not going to blame him for that, but it was weird how the commentary never clicked. Or maybe it did, but by then we were in complete train wreck mode and I never noticed it.

I was kind of sad, I needed that laugh badly.
I don't think that Vince's dream is just "big guy."
I think it's best described as "does this guy look like an action figure we can sell?"
In Balor's case, it's yes and yes.
He couldn't but the way he introduced Roman did more to sell the character than 3 years of WWE promotions has.

Never forget that slap in the face to Rey fans from Cena.

The fact Balor beat Reigns and Rollins clean is enough proof towards how they view the guy. Hell, Owens wasn't even going to win the Universal Title if Balor wasn't hurt. He was going to feud with him, get beaten and then feud with Jericho. Balor was going to hold that belt until Reigns got it this year.

I can't think of Rey without thinking of Ramirez.
Going on about Rey:
Not having Rey vs Cena for the belt at SummerSlam 2011 while Punk was gone was so fucking stupid.
Two of your biggest stars EVER facing each other for the biggest prize in the main event of your 2nd biggest show. But nah, you had to waste it on a random ass episode of Raw right after Rey won it. Idiots.

My boy finally won the WWE Championship...and then fucking Cena took it from him.
Fuck the Summer of Punk, should have been the Summer of Rey.

This was literally when I stopped watching for like 3 years.

As little as they thought of Punk, they thought less of Rey by the end of his run
It's funny how WWE always calls out how WCW never gave its undercard talent opportunities yet WWE frequently did the exact same thing

This is probably why they signed him.

Wasn't even that big on Rey but that pissed me off. Truly did.
Victors get to write history.
Also Sin Cara (his name just means "faceless")
But then that would have never led to the HHH-Kevin Nash feud.

Is Tye getting called up?
Huh, I thought JBL said that Sin Cara in spanish means "You're eliminated". Are you lying, ReiGun?
WWE filed some new trademarks for names, and most of them are just NXT names including Ohno and others, but two of them are interesting, Eric Young and Roderick Strong. So those two have given up their names to WWE in order to keep using them there. Young makes sense, at his age this is really his last major run and he seems to be in a solid spot with Sanity, but Strong surprises me, they're not doing much with him so far and he may very well wind up back in the indies down the road, sans his name.

Wtf JBL? Nowhere near close.
Vince could not care less about the Hardys except for the fact that now he has them and others do not.
Matt is 100% responsible for making the Hardys a big deal.
Lmao why would you trust that piece of shit
