I was thinking that even though the wrestlers are on different brands, that everyone would be considered to be backstage. That way even though they arent wrestling, they will still be on promos and other stuff.
Obviously this wont be every night, but I think in kayfabe, all superstars are considered to be together on every show, regardless if they wrestle for that brand or not.

WWE-gaf ain't worth it. You see a similar split with UFC-gaf vs MMA-gaf.
Also LOL @ people complaining about the selling in last night's ppv because it's Roman
Well it's not just Roman. Ambrose has the same problem.
Meanwhile you turn around and look at people who know how to sell like Owens and Sami

How long as Rusev da Gawd been wearing little trunks instead of shorts? He looked great in wrestling trunks and boots. Best look of the night, easy.

Anyone know how much bola tickets are going to be ?
Thanks I will check them out and somthing is telling me to look into this NJPWWorld
I mentioned how great he looked last night. He should crush Mojo Rawley. He should crush most guys.

That's what he does!
Mojo looked the best he ever has. It's a low bar. Who knows, maybe when thrown in the pool he'll drown or swim instead of be in it somewhere.

Turning WWE down has got to make HHH and Vince go crazy.
I wonder if Raw and Smackdown will have a segment where they go over the ratings and make it a thing they're competing to improve on the show itself now.

Wrestlers are doing promotion in the city today, and the old logo is still in use...
Also, Cena. AJ, and Ambrose are scheduled for RAW...

I expected change, dammit!!!
PS: Give me a new stage!!
I doubt we see anything new until the show tonight. That's when the new logo will be launched.
I hope Smackdown gets a new set and music as well.

Triple H is going to re-tape the round 2 CWC to have Ibushi put over Ho Ho Lun while Bryan talks about how Ho Ho is a much stronger kicker.
I agree that Mojo was in top form, relatively speaking. And I've always found he has -- or could have -- a weird, Jim Duggan-y appeal. Not really my thing, but I can at least appreciate that there's a place for the dauntless, burly wrassle archetype.
I won't admit this when he's actually on my TV, though, because the dude is extremely obnoxious.

We'll see what happens. If he's going to get better, now is the time. If not, both Ryder and Rawley will be strapped to the same donkey and sent down the mountain.
I can understand Ambrose. He got the title and until Raw got the new World Heavyweight they won't let the champ show up only on Smackdown
But AJ and Cena makes 0 sense.
Now we only need to SD be a bunch of meaningless matches with no promos or storyline to WWE give the ultimate fuck you to the brand split (already on the first week)
Fine with me. Same goes for Nia Jax, but we know she ain't goin' nowhere.
Man I kinda want to see that

Sweeny Tom, are you OK?
I imagine this is how te aftermath of that phonecall played out:
but that was pure joy
FYI, that looks like the old talent roster they would have had on that page and they just haven't changed it for the new draft rosters.
I may be wrong, but that's what I see there.

Now that the CWC is starting to wrap up, let's get a Superheavyweight Classic happening.
And no, slightconfuse, don't say "HOSS BATTLE" and link BJW
I get the feeling she's gonna swim majestically

Sounds fun.
I have a feeling that you already have your mind made up.

Could you imagine how great it would be if Nia Jax had Jazz's personality? Goddamn.

Tell us how it feels when the people who aren't doing as good of a job as you are getting praised by management and getting all the opportunities.
Here's something of a controversial opinion: I found Ed Ferrara as Oklahoma pretty entertaining. Sure, its inception was mean-spirited, but I thought ol' Ed did a good job, with a more goofy than nasty presentation.
Maybe it helps that it's been 15+ years and I've heard Jim Ross and Ed Ferrara talk about it, so I know there are no hard feelings. That probably helps it seem less offensive.
