    Quality post. If I could like it twice I would.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,040 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Pretty good go-home show that actually has me interested in Extreme Rules.

    Becky and Bianca had a great segment. I loved the Demon ending and I really wish that Balor had a shot at taking the belt but I just don't see it.

    Had no idea the draft was so close, hopefully it will be the kick up the arse that Raw needs.

    Yeah I thought Ford's promo was great and the match (whilst a little sloppy in parts) was fairly decent. I can't buy into Bianca at all still though. Her mic work consists of 'Nuh-Uh Girl' every single week and the hair braid swinging still irrationally annoys me, particularly when she's supposed to be pissed off. I've cancelled the Network so will source the PPV from other methods I think, there just isn't enough for me to want to pay for it right now tbh

    I probably wouldn't have think it was worth it if it wasn't for the Peacock price tbh, not that I use Peacock either haha.

    I've said before but Bianca needs to just start speaking in her normal voice with proper English. She's a college graduate and if she wants to be a role model, how about letting kids know proper grammar. I know mine isn't always perfect but just hearing her say something like "You is..." it just adds to a stereotypical character she should be trying to avoid.

    Can Naomi complain to Adam Pearce about Sonya?



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,834 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    Just caught up on Smackdown. I can't see Balor winning but they're doing more with him than I expected them to. I'd imagine the Usos will cost him but they're doing a good job of making him look like a big deal anyway Hopefully the finish will protect him somewhat.

    Unless they pull a shock and have brock attack reigns and Balor takes the title only to drop it on Smackdown



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,709 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Opening night of the draft Who will go to SD ?

    My guess to SD

    Drew

    Charlotte

    Ricochet

    Damien Priest (and the US Title)

    Viking Raiders

    LA Knight

    draft rules.


    Wrestlers from Raw, SD, and NXT are available as per discussions between the brands officials and the networks.

    -Half of the roster eligible tonight, other half in Monday. Undrafted wrestlers are free agents and can sign with a brand of their choosing.

    -The draft goes into effect after Crown Jewel on Oct 22.



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,709 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Be interesting to see who from NXT is in the draft

    Has Johnny Gargano given in and joining the main roster full time ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 23,102 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    "Landscape will change forever."

    It will in me hole...



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,676 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    So, hit row are getting called up and swerve can drop the NA title on the way? I'm in.



  • Registered Users Posts: 28,784 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Why couldn't they just have it after Crown Jewel then? Something I enjoy about the draft is the surprise when someone issues an open challenge.

    Doesn't sound like that will happen tonight and Monday.



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,709 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Roman staying on SD

    Big E gone to Raw

    Charlotte gone to SD

    Bianca Belair To Raw



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,709 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    You have to admit, this version of Brock Lesner is badass



  • Registered Users Posts: 23,102 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Every version of Brock is badass. Even Brock party.



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 50,988 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    So basically with Charlotte moving and Bianca going the other way either Becky is Raw bound or Bianca's winning at Crown Jewel. This is why Drafts not happening instantly are stupid.



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,709 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    King of the ring and for the first time a Queen of the ring tournament. Starting next Friday on the SD season premiere

    Looking forward to these, always loved King Of The Ring.

    Round 2

    Drew to SD

    Rk- Bro stay on raw

    New day (Kofi and Woods) to SD

    Edge to Raw



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 50,988 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    New Day (Kofi & Xavier) to Smackdown? That's a strange one. Correct decision with McIntyre though. Edge going to Raw is not that surprising.



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,709 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    I'm guessing this segment now will lead to Edge vs Rollins III at crown Jewell to end the feud possibly meaning Rollins is staying on SD



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,709 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    This is both awesome and ridiculously wrestle crap

    Ffs copeland family lock your door and remember the camera person is also intruding your house



  • Registered Users Posts: 23,102 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Rollins...




  • Registered Users Posts: 37,709 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Round 3

    Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss to SD

    Rhea Rhipley and Nikki Ash to Raw

    Hit Row to SD

    Keith Lee to Raw



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 50,988 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Raw basically being similar to it is most Mondays... Boring and too samey. Edge and Bianca the only real additions so far, most if not all of the rest are already there 😂



  • Registered Users Posts: 84,796 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Rhea and Nikki as tag champs are on both shows



  • Registered Users Posts: 37,709 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Round 4

    Naomi to SD

    Rey and Dominik to Raw

    Jeff Hardy To SD

    Austin Theory To Raw (don't mention his brief main roster appearances a while back)

    Why can't babyfaces have friends? Why can't they just leave the New Day together, and have them as a trio supporting each other?
