1. Different plots, and c-list is getting increasingly generous with each new movie
2. A Swiss Marine?!?!?!?!

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
They lose money on all of those DVD movies so nobody knows why they make them. I can only assume some kind of tax scheme, but that would call into question why they don't make them actual wrestling movies, e.g. the origin of Bray Wyatt or something cheesy like that.

Slater to "hijack" Raw only to get punched by Big Show, then he'll interrupt SD only to get choke slammed by Kane.
He'll then be a main stay on Superstars and Main Event.

Lucha things should definitely be a real thing. That would be awesome
Until they run it into the ground after two weeks

If (or rather when) they do Team Smackdown vs Team Raw in the next few months they should have Smackdown win and the prize being some NXT call-ups.

If Heath goes to Smackdown, I have faith that guys like him, Apollo, and even baron can make the midcard work
But who does a guy like Cena feud with? Too good for the gutted midcard, already feuded with bray and AJ. Maybe a Dean feud?
It's a real shame that Cesaro, Sami, and Bo dallas are on raw. I really loved Bo and wanted SD to make proper use of him before his stupid loss to R truth
Id like to see New day split and Big e on smackdown. Same with Harper
And if Raw can sign some good cruiserweights, thatd be great.

You gotta get ready for one more Cena-Orton feud guys.
He was saying it repeatedly even to the Usos and mentioned the heat they get just for being associated.
Like, they have had some sucesses when it comes to film distribution, but they are movies that don't have wrestlers. That Oculus horror movie from a few years ago made $45 million on a $5 million budget, and that Call movie with Hallie Berry made almost $70 million dollars on a $13 million budget. There is money to be made doing low budget horror/thrillers, as long as you aren't casting a fucking wrestler in the main role. I have no idea why they continue to make stuff like The Marine except for vanity reasons.

And the winner has to survive the living hell that is THE DEMON KANE.

Mr. Grain of Salt(Alveraz) said, expect the new SD set to appear next week. Graphics, ring ropes, etc.
It was bad in that it heavily favors Raw with the exception of a few names.
It wasn't bad in that the people who you honestly thought would be called up were called up (whether too green or not) and anyone who honestly thought Nakamura or Joe were being brought up were working themselves. They spent last year building NXT into a name brand they aren't going to draft everyone out of that and leave it with nothing.
Alvarez has a great radio voice but beyond that he has the credibility of a wredditor. Not that you can report on anything in WWE anyway because they change their minds 50 times in one day.
That's fair.
It was fun to watch though. For whatever reason you want to pick.
Absolutely.
Cesaro shooting. Kalisto lucha thing, D. Bry trying to come up with an intelligent answer for the picks, Booker burying Roman.
It truly was a treasure trove.

The whole concept was Smackdown was supposed to be "the wrestling show" and a kayfabe competitor to Raw
Cruiserweights will be on Raw. All of the promising midcarders are on Raw.
Orton, Cena, and Kane (3 of the main targets of "older guys taking time away from younger guys") are on Smackdown.
Carmella was brought up to the wrong show presumably still with her Enzo/Cass gimmick, nailed it
The vibe is basically instead of "2 competing programs" it's "yep Smackdown is the B show but we threw in a few people you'll want to check in on, look it's Daniel Bryan!"
Maybe it was because it was 3 AM and I was getting increasingly more drunk but I didn' enjoy the draft that much. The show was pretty bad, they blew through the picks to get to the filler matches and endless commercial breaks, they had no reaction shots of people getting drafted at all on Smackdown and even the interviews they did have were few and far between. Forget the picks making no kayfabe sense. It is obvious the creative storyline and actual picks were not coordinated at all, but the presentation of the actual draft was just terrible. Also, Steph and Shane acting like they are 12 and fighting over Sunday night dinner is just not any fun to watch. Thanks for pointing out that your brother is sweating Steph, quality diss, really.
Ask Ziggler how that works
At least he got a "thanks for showing up" title run.
Even Ziggler has had a cup of coffee with the championship.

Horror films are traditionally great for making money. Costs very little to make usually and it's rare to see one that doesn't make its money back at least in the bargain bins. It's why I'm not surprised one starring the god king Kane is still one of their biggest films and got a sequel. I'd say it could go on for another decade easily but Saw's coming back and I'm not sure they'd handle competition well

I hope smackdown gets new theme music that's actually memorable, it hasn't had anything decent since "let it roll".
He ain't putting anyone ogre.
AND SMACKDOWN'S FINAL PICK IS...

Surprised Zach wasn't picked last.

I think it's funny that they didn't call up real superstars because they....... have to protect NXT? So silly.

Damn, even forums poster Zach getting picked before Bayley. RIP
Who said that Smackdown would be "the wrestling show," though? Sounds like it was the Internet just assuming and hoping for that.
At least Smackdown has Styles, Cena, Lynch, American Alpha, The Miz, and Bray Wyatt? Maybe? We'll see. Maybe they'll push some guys unexpectedly? (Zack Ryder or Ziggler) I'll watch next week, but if it's the same old boring WWE programming, I'll stick to just listening to podcasts.
Who's really getting the last laugh though? Vince has to explain to USA why he pretty much tanked Smackdown.
If the ratings continue to go down, USA or NBC Universal may not even want it at all.
Look how long they kept Balor down there. It seems to have worked because everyone at Smackdown knew who Balor was (and are ready for Bayley whenever they decide to pull the trigger.)

I like Striker in LU, but completely agree on those last two. Still on the fence with the intergender stuff.
