I'm looking forward to those New Japan shows. I'm thinking that War Machine might win the Tag Titles.

Even if he's healthy, I'd leave him off RAW until the night after GBF. Joe beats Brock for the belt and Brock is throwing shit around on RAW, calling out Joe. Braun's music hits and the two have a stand-off in the ring -- Brock suddenly more stoic. Joe later arrives at the building and someone asks if he heard Brock calling him out, and he just shrugs.
At SummerSlam run Brock vs. Braun and Joe vs. Balor for the belt in the main event. Joe can beat Balor at SummerSlam, Clash and finally inside Hell in a Cell -- Balor getting a little closer each time. Brock vs. Joe rematch at Survivor Series where Brock can win back the belt -- assuming that you want to do Brock vs. Reigns at WrestleMania. Hell, you can probably pad Joe's reign out more and give him matches against John Cena and Jeff Hardy. I don't know why I'm throwing Hardy's name in there -- I guess because he's over. Brock should probably go over Braun if he's getting the belt back -- Braun will just look good tossing Brock across the ring. But why not consider putting Braun over and using Brock to actually get some of their newer guys over? Especially if Brock has that rematch all lined up and doesn't need to re-contend by the laws of their own canon. |

Lesnar doesn't need to lose any time soon. He has to rebuild the monster hype after that feud with Oldberg...

Between giving Triple H his win back, giving Taker his win back after ending the streak, getting squashed by Goldberg, can you imagine if Lesnar was full-time? He'd have been fucked up and re-built as a monster to a Big Show/Kane level by this point. Thank God he's a part-timer.

Pretty much the WWE admitting they are terrible at building new mega stars and legit revolve around Cena. Unless the plan is to finally use up Cena's star power on both brands to actually rub off on new and future mega stars, just going to be the usual with Cena.

It's also the first sign of another jumbled mess of a brand split. Plus it doesn't make sense. Why the fuck is Cena a free agent?

They half-assed the Shakeup stuff this year and all supposedly because Vince got cold feet on doing an actual trade episode(s) and some of the ideas they had for swaps. If RAW made an announcement about resigning Lesnar to a deal or WWE mentioning stuff about free agency, could have easily spin the Cena stuff as him wanting to test the market. |

So Cena became a free agent during the "Superstar Shakeup".
A) Why was that such a throwaway story that they're just bringing it up now? B) What the fuck was the Superstar Shakeup? We were kinda left to assume it was a bunch of trades. Or maybe each brand just getting to pick a certain amount of workers from the other brand. Now it causes free agency somehow on occasion? lol |

Those ratings, combined with Cena free agent story, and Angle/HHH being the best return match they can offer, shows the state of things creatively.
How can they have let things get this bad? Literally just a few years off not even having a Cena or a Brock anymore and they just can't get things together. It's a real pity there isn't a billionaire wrestling fan around like Ted Turner today, because I despite their size and reach, the product is woeful (just look at numbers and a peak in the Raw thread almost every week), they are complacent and I don't think they have ever been so vulnerable to proper competition. |

put a product on screen that can shill the network and merchandise, and until they aren't selling out arenas, they haven't much to worry about.

That might be a possibility in the future surely? I mean, if fans are not buying into TV, and there are no real star attractions, surely, eventually, network numbers and live attendances start to take a hit too?
They can't seem to get network numbers above certain numbers, and I know for me personally, I stopped watching TV, tried again various times, then stopped completely. Eventually I just cancelled the network too. I wasn't watching and wasn't interested in what was happening. I don't really have time to watch a lot of older stuff so I wasn't using it. Even at such a bargain price point, it was competing with the likes of Netflix etc... So I just cancelled. Maybe there will forever be enough people who get enough out of the network and enjoy the product enough to keep paying. Maybe Indian and Chinese expansion will mean they don't even care what happens in the US in 10 years time. Just a bit sad that they obviously realise the issues, but are just banking on what you said. As long as it's good enough to make money. It sucks. |

Nostalgia def helped for a long time, but I think that well is almost dry now. Undertaker looked horrible last few Manias and Rumble and is now, hopefully, gone.
Angle left for a decade...comes back, and in that decade they have built...HHH for him to face. Even when guys do come back now, they dont have opponents for them. |

They have people who can face him they just need to push HHH's ego out of the way.

I've been wanting to try to get back into Smackdown at least because from what I've read and from the reactions, it seems enjoyable. But now it seems like that may have passed.
With the exception of Fashion Files of course. |

To add onto the KURT ANGLE storyline, it is very sad watching a man you know can rock the mic with ad-libs and delivery be relegated to the screening of PG. There was one backstage segment with him and I could just see the ideas pop into his head, but then he remembers where he is at.

If they're already going to start allowing Cena to float freely between shows, it won't be too long before they end up killing the whole brand split again already.
Shit'll be right back to where it was from 2012-15 with them trying to run the same storylines with the same talent on both shows while huge swaths of the roster have nothing to do. I mean, they still have a problem with loads of people having nothing to do, but it'll be worsened if the rosters are merged again. |

Don't worry. They'll split the roster/title once again a few years later. FOR REALZ THIS TIME THOUGH.

People always make that out to be a bad thing. I mean, on a personal level it sucks for the guys being released, but if someone isn't going to be getting spotlight in a unified WWE, then maybe they're just not warranting of it? They could go elsewhere and develop more skills that they can bring back to the WWE one day. They could spread out their "WWE power" to the independents elsewhere and help strengthen wrestling in general.
A spring clean is not always a bad thing, even for the people released. |

I've always been pro brand split based on the potential that it could bring. Loved the first few years of the first split because it really did give them a platform to feature new talent and give stories to people who otherwise wouldn't have had them.
This brand split I really enjoyed early on. Even Raw felt pretty fresh for a few months. But now they've gone back to just totally unfocused booking. |
