Everyone keeps talking about HHH going to RAW and Bryan going to Smackdown what if Shane picks HHH?

Why would Shane get the first pick?

And why would Steph pick Bryan?

 

[Heel]

"This Sam Bowie guy is a star for sure." - #TeamZach

 

[styl3s]

Why would Shane get the first pick?

And why would Steph pick Bryan?

Why wouldn't Shane get to pick first? And what if Bryan is just there to be a SD commentator or just to be there to hype the draft. Maybe Steph panics when Shane picks HHH.

HHH is all about the future like Shane. Team Shane/Hunter baby.

 

[FlammableD]

Yeah that's better.

This one if you cut out AJ and Sammy, would also be improved.

Has this Tombstone ever been topped?

hero's are usually pretty nasty

Surprised neither of you guys chose Cena. He's number 2 on my list and should be number 2 in anyone's list. Styles is number 1.

Reason I haven't picked him is most of my top guys so far have had feuds with Cena, so I wanted Zach to grab him as it may serve his roster better.

However he has Kane. Kane and Cena are magic.

HHH is all about the future like Shane. Team Shane/Hunter baby.

It's been confirmed Raw gets first pick. Also three picks to Smackdown's two.

Can't see why Steph wouldn't pick her husband first.

 

[Zach]

Kane and Cena are magic.

I had to hold back laughter. I seriously almost guffawed at my desk. I don't even know if I've seen them in a match together. It's just a hilarious sentence.

Whoa, you didn't get to see the "Embrace the Hate" arc?

It's quality, lemme tell ya. You ever seen Zack Ryder change a tire?

 

[slightconfuse]

He has one foot in Hollywood.

He is off house shows until October

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Just thinkin' about how amazing it would be to get #BROKEN Matt Hardy back in WWE in a feud with Demon Kane.

Or even better. A tag team.

Can't see why Steph wouldn't pick her husband first.

That's the draft i am talking about the general manager which Shane is announcing tonight.

NXT HHH is not the same character as Raw HHH.

Smackdown HHH isn't Raw HHH thought.

Randy Orton sits nervously in the draft ballroom, having fallen out of the lottery and missing every pre-draft projection. Have the injuries scared off the GMs? He continues to plummet.

 

[Barrage]

My assumption on why they don't put all the women on one show:

All women on one show would mean all the women on one touring cycle of house shows. That means either you have ten women wrestling a show every night, or some women aren't gonna be working/getting paid.

Shitty and inefficient for TV, but I don't know if there's a way around it.

This is why I'm letting Zach get the women. They need dedicated time, not a half measure.

And jesus, I would make a terrible GM. Forgot About Randy.

Ballroom?

He's in the bathroom doing lines with Roman

I hate how much of my roster is from people who cut their teeth in NXT for a year or two. My focal point is to create new matchups and interesting matchups, many "David vs Goliath" setups (Balor vs Strowman, Crews vs Lesnar, etc)

 

[avengers23]

Drafting Paul White

at all

Spoiler

I'd be ok if it was on commentary

Paul White?

That's a Landis pick for sure, friends.

Now, Paul Wight is a sure fire main eventer in 2016, friends.

Work is over, so I await your last pick, Zach, and your (and anyone else's) final thoughts on which is the more compelling show.

 

[avengers23]

"Best for business" can hand wave a lot away.

 

[British Monsoon]

Seems a bit harsh, but in a way, no lies. I mean, this isn't a good matchup. It's hard to justify spending time with ROH aside from special events that are different, yet they're still mired in the same muck they can't seem to get their boots out of.

I think the Cedric Alexander think is pretty emblematic of their current state: he leaves ROH where he's done sweet fuck all and been presented in such a way that no one really gave a shit about him and immediately becomes a huge deal, winning over an unfamiliar crowd and likely earning a shot in WWE in the process.

Joey Samoey gets the championship belt via tournament (why not, it works) - and we spend 3 months bouncing smaller people off of him to get it, but ultimately, Mark Henry destroys him to get a Farewell Tour where he beats everyone, forever, and then the show ends due to bad ratings with Mark Henry as your final champion.

 

[jred2k]

C'mon, Zach. Sami Zayn is just sitting there free for the taking.

 

[KingBroly]

The #1 pick on Raw will be Seth Rollins, bolief dat

 

[Toki767]

Shane can't.

But Vince could.

This is basically how ECW ended. Completely ignoring Christian and Ezekiel Jackson being champions after.

Powerbombcast.

It says it's Austin's last regular appearance. Damn.

The last listenable regular episode of the Powerbombcast has dropped.

 

[avengers23]

I'd watch NVM's show if it had featured Samolian Joe or Joey Samoey, not Samoas Joe.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Roman's the only Samoa Joe I need.

 

[styl3s]

I don't see why HHH would go with Shane when in and out of Kayfabe he and Steph are happily married. It's not like he can force Triple H to be his general manager.

Maybe HHH isn't happy with how Steph has been conducting business? Vince wants a shake up and a fight and if Shane picks HHH and HHH is like naw you think Vince isn't going to say YOU'RE GOING TO SMACKDOWN OR YOU'RE FIRREED

 

[Chopper]

So who are the possible Raw GM contenders?

Obviously HHH. Foley? Nash? Sting? SCSA?! Edge? Heyman? Mark Henry in his salmon pink suit?

I'm pulling for Tazz. I'd mark out so fucking hard.
