WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion - Part VII

[BEEG]

Bianca Belair ring work keeps getting better, she's absolutely amazing in the ring.

Right now is this the best female talent on a roster we have seen in wrestling?

Charlotte
Banks
Lynch
Belair
Bayley
Ripley
Baszler
Asuka

Undeniably, especially if you want to add in people like Shirai, Moon, Kai, Rae, etc.

Any chance FTR return to WWE? pretty highly rated by alot in the company.

I’m very curious about who will be the first to jump ship the other way.

Kick in the guts for Morrison and Apollo especially Apollo with how he had been built up over time that they got “drafted” on the talking smack show and not on TV.

I like the idea of a draft for a refresh of the rosters every 24 months but should just do it as a one night special or a network special.

Hard to follow when you have guys like Gulak being drafted now but still have Rollins etc left.

Mace and T Bar the first team to split.

I don't think they even bothered to publish the draft pools this time. Maybe they're gunshy after whoever did it last year posted everything in the draft order.

it is a shame that they only focus on Flair and Lynch. While Bayley and Banks gets some decent time with the title, it still only revolves around Flair and Lynch. The others, are only relevant when they are being fed to the four horsewomen.

highly doubtful. They left WWE because of the tag teams being treated. Braun and Nicolas beating The Bar? Better off in AEW where the forbidden door is open for them to wrestle in AEW, Impact and NJPW, where tag teams are not treated as a joke.

Isn’t Shane Thorne being typecast as crocodile Steve Urwin Dundee or some crap like that?

Only 2 WWE veterans I could see returning would be Christian and Danielson.

Others that could go the other way possibly MJF and Lance Archer? Maybe Darby Allin as a Jeff Hardy replacement?

I think out of all the ex E guys to go to AEW they have probably had the worst run and losing to the Bucks couldn't have been good feeling after all the shit they spoke about them.

You are just going to forget the icy hot segment and the clowns with clocks around their necks pitch? Clearly they don’t rate them highly enough.

 

[glenn2479]

Can someone confirm for me? If you don’t get ‘drafted’ by one of the WWE brands you are deemed a ‘free agent’ and can go wherever you want? WTF lol.

Yeah it’s crap. As Lynchy04 said, we need a special show where they draft everyone.

Yep draft special on the network and just draft from 1 to the end of the roster. None of these draft pools just get it over and done with from the start.

Turn T-Bar into Dijak and he might have a chance. Mace should disappear.

Well Cesaro and Finn finally got a win over Roman at the live event

Great pic.

 

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

Bringing back the Demon sucked. I liked the Finn Balor with attitude. The one who stood up to Reigns. And promised payback and retribution down the line on Cena for stealing his opportunity. That was an interesting Finn Balor. I see it hard to go back there now, or how they address his character going forward.

The Demon certainly had potential. If they portrayed Balor as some sort of schizophrenic and gave it all a good backstory it could have been awesome. Probably a bit beyond the creative talents of the WWE though.

 

[MadMundy]

Just leaving a comment to say I ****ing love Matt Riddle. That is all.

Hard to go past Bret for mine, masterclass of how to sell an injury for the entire show and come up with a different finish each match without using the sharp shooter.

Austin up there as well to kick start what was to come.
