lmfao this is hilarious now.

 

[Rimfya]

"What if we take the guys people love on SD and feed them to Roman or mishandle their stories instead on Raw?"

 

[The Strokes]

Smackdown is getting destroyed.

Yay, Kalisto on 205live!!

 

[Wagram]

I thought the point was to make a few strategic swaps. It feels like they just took the major players and swapped them.

 

[Vestal]

KO is going to smackdown.. only way this shit works.

 

[RecRoulette]

Miz and Maryse are the only actual moves I count as a "loss" for SmackDown.

Unless we're going to pretend Dean and Bray Wyatt were lighting it up on SD (They weren't)

 

[jurgen]

Concussion aren't funny and I hope Finn doesn't have one but the shot of that ref is just bad, funny timing.

Someone needs to photoshop Dave Chapelle back there.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

JEEZUS!

How did he get those marks on his face? Did he faceplant after the forearm?

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

The dirt sheets got this shake-up dead wrong about it being less than the drafts of the past.

 

[half a moon]

Why is Miz on raw?

 

[Sinatar]

Are they just going to straight up swap 100% of Smackdown for Raw, just rename the shows?

 

[Slizz]

How did he get those marks on his face? Did he faceplant after the forearm?

Yes

 

[Sanjuro]

JaMarcus Russell is coming to Smackdown.

 

[cordy]

JEEZUS!

that ref omfg yooooooooooooo

 

[imBask]

KO is going to smackdown.. only way this shit works.

why are you assuming this is supposed to be fair?

it's fake, you know that right?

 

[ShadyK54]

How did he get those marks on his face? Did he faceplant after the forearm?

Yup. Head first into the mat.

 

[galvatron]

JEEZUS!

Yikes...rug burn from that knockdown.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Good for Kalisto getting into the cruiserweight division protection bubble is the best for him.

 

[TimeEffect]

You guys are overreacting. It makes no sense that DBry didnt get equal amounts of talent to SD

This is just a major switch up.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

How did he get those marks on his face? Did he faceplant after the forearm?

Yeah. It looked like he took the hit and then just crumbled face first into the mat.

 

[ramoisdead]

So much for Miz being in the main title picture, heh.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Sami vs Miz, this should be fun.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Why is Miz on raw?

Its the Superstar Shakeup! We don't know who's going where!

 

[Tom Nook]

Kalisto to Raw 205

Slater and Rhyno to Raw

 

[Toki767]

I guess Zayn is at least assured to be on Smackdown after he loses this.

 

[Bronx-Man]

JEEZUS!

"I could be back in Tokyo right now."

 

[Sinatar]

Ah here we go. Sami going to lose to Miz and go to SDL.

 

[Syder]

Said months ago eventually SmackDown would get cannibalised for the sake of RAW...

 

[half a moon]

Its the Superstar Shakeup! We don't know who's going where!

Oh yeah I forgot. I had a brain fart. I just made a comment earlier about Nakamura/Miz

 

[Vestal]

why are you assuming this is supposed to be fair?

it's fake, you know that right?

They created 3 new titles to keep title parity between brands. So it is only fitting that they move the US Title over to SD

 

[Gaiaknight]

Miz and Maryse are the only actual moves I count as a "loss" for SmackDown.

Unless we're going to pretend Dean and Bray Wyatt were lighting it up on SD (They weren't)

Dean is very popular and his merch sells well so Dean is some what of a hit to smackdown house show attendance.

 

[jurgen]

Sami going to Smackdown's a certainty now, huh?

So much for Miz being in the main title picture, heh.

The fact that Miz doesn't get Talking Smack anymore is a goddamn travesty. What the fuck, Vince?

Dean is very popular and his merch sells well so Dean is some what of a hit to smackdown house show attendance.

The fact that Dean jumped ship convinces me that Roman's going to Smackdown. They need people to center their house shows around other than Randy and AJ.

 

[RecRoulette]

Said months ago eventually SmackDown would get cannibalised for the sake of RAW...

Looks like SmackDown is just cutting dead weight from my point of view.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Okay so remaining call ups are AJ and Alexa?

Is Brock scheduled? Maybe AJ comes out to confront him?

 

[Tom Nook]

No more SD to Raw acquisitions please

 

[Sinatar]

If Sami and KO both go to SDL just to resume their fucking feud I'm gonna snap.

Let's have the match go for 10 seconds and then go to ads.

One great thing about the attitude era that nobody brings up is that they didn't do ad breaks in the middle of matches.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Sami going to Smackdown's a certainty now, huh?



The fact that Miz doesn't get Talking Smack anymore is a goddamn travesty. What the fuck, Vince?

It's like 100%

If Sami and KO both go to SDL just to resume their fucking feud I'm gonna snap.

I'm guessing Sami, Jericho and KO are all going to SDL.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Sami going to Smackdown's a certainty now, huh?



The fact that Miz doesn't get Talking Smack anymore is a goddamn travesty. What the fuck, Vince?

It's ok. He'll still have the highly scripted Raw Talk every few months to appear on. lol

 

[Keyser Soze]

Maryse had better chance of catching Sami anyway

 

[cordy]

Ambrose has been talked about so much on this damn Raw. He's a Top Guy for a reason but shit let's just get down to it:

Who do you think will be on SDL worth watching besides Nakamura? They're straight up killin the game tonight.

 

[half a moon]

They trying to break up Ambrose and Renee?

Okay soooooooo who's coming to Smackdown Live??! Hoping @shanemcmahon and @WWEDanielBryan have some aces. 😨

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Okay so remaining call ups are AJ and Alexa?

Is Brock scheduled? Maybe AJ comes out to confront him?

At this point, I wouldn't trust the rumours.

 

[Man God]

HEATH AND JINDER ON THE SAME SHOW? DREW RESIGNED?

TIME TO REFORM THE BAND BABEHHHH

Been making this joke for weeks.

Rhyno better watch his ass.

 

[TimeEffect]

Ambrose has been talked about so much on this damn Raw. He's a Top Guy for a reason but shit let's just get down to it:

Who do you think will be on SDL worth watching besides Nakamura? They're straight up killin the game tonight.

Two words:

Show. Off!

 

[Pikma]

"I could be back in Tokyo right now."

I feel like this joke would have probably worked if Shibata hadn't almost died in the ring a day and a half ago

 

[HashtagLapsed]

If we get an AJ Sami feud I will be happy.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

JaMarcus Russell is coming to Smackdown.

With Johnny Manziel?

 

[ReiGun]

The fact that Miz doesn't get Talking Smack anymore is a goddamn travesty. What the fuck, Vince?

He'll get to maybe be on Raw Talk when they do that once every three months.

....

 

[The Strokes]

Miz and Maryse are the only actual moves I count as a "loss" for SmackDown.

Unless we're going to pretend Dean and Bray Wyatt were lighting it up on SD (They weren't)

That's besides the point, notice how almost everyone they've taken were talents Smackdown built to be entertaining and actually rescued from mediocrity. Wyatt was champ and people were into him, Heat and Rhyno were champs and Slater got over, Miz had his best run ever, Dean was whatever.

SD's midcard was nonexistent, now it's even worse, doesn't matter that they get two, maybe three top guys, that roster needs depth, and bad.

 

[ramoisdead]

The fact that Miz doesn't get Talking Smack anymore is a goddamn travesty. What the fuck, Vince?

Yeah, Talking Smack was the best when Miz went shootin' on Daniel Bryan. I think it's a mistake to have Miz move to Raw.
