Didn't realize they went up for pre-order
I think that's the only fantasy draft I've seen online without Seth at #1 and Sasha or Charlotte in the top three. Heck, first thing I noticed was no women in the top 5. Liked the extra effort of putting together WM matches too.
Still in the camp that thinks the draft is a mess and a bad idea in the long run. Smackdown should be entertaining tonight but I'm expecting a wrench will be thrown that will invalidate a lot of predictions.

Should I watch Raw? It seems like it was good by Wreddit standards, except for the WCW finish.

Yeah, my point exactly. The matches seemed pretty typical esp. that (LOL) 12-man tag match. I'd be ok with not seeing a singles-turned-tag or 6+ man tag match for six months.
I think this is Smackdown's last chance to boost ratings, honestly. If it doesn't go up over the next 6 months or so, I expect it to be cancelled.
I can see it becoming a "Network exclusive" programme; cancellation is bad publicity (not that they could get away from bad publicity if it did come to happen).

Best part about the draft is that we gettin a Review-a-SmackDown tomorrow.

It should move to Network and then phase out or change. Combine main event and Smackdown, hell you could even phase NXT into Smackdown as the hour-1 slot and then hour 2-3 is Smackdown.
Moving to the Network would amount to a cancellation.
The apocalypse is coming and I can't wait.

One of the PROGRESS owners, Jim, has a podcast on Scroobius Pip's network. He's just posted a 2 hr interview with William Regal, which I'm sure will be worth a listen.

This was probably the worst Raw to jump in on. There isn't much going on right now due to the fact these people are going to be on different rosters in a week. Main event was decent but that fuckery finish was seen coming from a mile away.
Now we wait. Battleground is an oddball of a PPV.

Hino lariating Hama's ass made my night. The Happy Motel vs. Akiyama & Aoyagi match from June in AJPW was fine, and I hope AJPW is starting a business relationship with DDT.
Tonight: Strong BJ vs. Big Guns and Miyahara vs. Mashimo at last as I try to catch up.

WhatCulture is garbage that's good at hiding how garbage they are. It's like if Don Tony and Kevin Castle got a budget.

well their fanbase is mostly "bring back the attitude era =b" people
Rick Rude did competitive arm wrestling before he did pro wrestling.

Is WC UK-based? I always wondered when do they watch Raw. They do publish videos pretty quickly after Raw, so they must watch live early in the morning then?
I disagree, I like their videos. If you're talking about WCPW, I think it's just a matter of getting more experienced with the business, but they're doing fine considering they're a bunch of young wrestling nerds running a promotion.
The WWE has a BIG future ahead of it with these talents at the helm.

I'm interested in seeing what they do to break Smackdown off from Raw, to give it its own identity. If they don't seem to, then don't get your hopes up, etc.
LMAO just thought...wouldn't it be godawful if an NXT draft pick was used on Mojo Rawley? Can you imagine avoiding him on TV?

I was really surprised about the cruirserweight announcement for RAW. I figured the main differentiator would be Smackdown being the workhorse show with a focus on competition ala NXT/CC.

also they need to replace the pop rock intros with dubstep. come into 2016 WWE. fuckin hell.
expecting flo rida
Makes me feel like they are committing to salvaging the three hour concept again by having an entire hour of the cruiserweights heavily influenced by the CWC. You don't dump all that money and production expertise into a project and not try and parlay some of it to the big money making flagship.

That'd make the first hour pretty nice. Ala Nitro...the best years of Nitro!
Dubstep, in 2016
Are you Vince?
If they want to be modern it needs indie-folk hipster songs

Nice start. They need to have Shinsooky Nak America give some dismissive boots.
Don't have the gif, but it is one of my favorites where he kicks Naito in the head a few times.
