WWE TV 04/15 - 04/21: Superstar Shakeup but the real Shakeup is a country who arrests and beats up its teachers

What if Braun Strowman ends up drafted to 205 Live?

Tony Neese retaining via all time level fuckery for 3 straight PPVs to build Braun to finally win the belt at Summerslam's pre show.

Te quiero mucho Andrade, guapo

As shitty as The Viking Experience name is, are we really pretending Hanson and Rowe are awesome names compared to Ivar and Erik? Same shit, different day there IMO.

The Viking Experience sounds like something you'd need to pay extra for to get from a "professional' if you know what I mean.

Tranquilo.

Andrade busting some flippy shitty outta nowhere almost made Cole drop the F bomb

[Strummer]

Rey Rey to Raw.  Andrade feud lives! (Potentially)

[KawadaSmile]

FUCK YES GIMME REY VS ROMAN

[sek69]

Lars has that Andre thing going where it looks like he has a thousand teeth.

For sure Bray has time. He's 31 and, I could be way wrong (probably am), but hasn't his time off-screen had more to do with "creative re-tinkering" than injuries? I know nothing in wrestling feels good or is 100% safe, but its not like he wrestled a thousand death matches before coming to WWE. In a nutshell, he's young, his style is more character-based than "movez" and crazy spots, and, like Kane, it might boggle your mind and mine, but for some reason, there is a segment of the fan base who thinks he'd be a huge star "if they let him" (read: treat him like a real cult leader out of a Rob Zombie movie). 

There's also the added thing where, the more wrestling I watch, the more I've come around to the idea that the "sweet spot" for a wrestler is closer to 35 than 25. There are always prodigies who were great in their 20s and kept getting better (Rey, Daniel Bryan), but then I look at guys like Mark Henry (his bad years were bad) and Christian (a good wrestler in his 20s, a top 10 worker in the company when he came back at age 35) and even Austin (a solid technical wrestler when he was 28, but the biggest wrestling star on the planet at 34). I'm sure others can point out even better examples. 

Plus Bray being off/on TV has shown us that some way, some how someone knows what "restraint" means when it comes to exposing him on TV. Wyatt would've needed repackaging years ago if they hadn't given him as many hiatuses (hiati?). The gimmick is obviously in need of repair, but it could be far, far worse. I was at the Money in the Bank PPV in Columbus some years back and Bray made one of his many (ultimately failed) returns there and the crowd desperately wanted to see him steal the briefcase. I'm not even sure why he didn't. The entrance is still over too. A babyface should be a no-brainer at this point.

 

Bray wrestled at a house show I went to the day after Christmas so he's been ready to go for awhile.

So if Andrade is going to RAW then I would assume that Charlotte is coming as well.  Looks like Becky might on the RAW brand although technically she is on both brands if she has both belts

 

[C.S.]

I hope Gable gets split from geek Roode.

We just had an interface spoiler jesus

[hammerva]

Usos on RAW was about time.  The Smackdown tag division was basically the Bar, the New Day, and absolutely nothing

This company is WCW and has been for a while.

[Loss]

Interesting commentary. They are putting over The Usos as major superstars. 

[KawadaSmile]

The Usos are a top 5 tag team ever idc

[Tenese Sarwieh]

Give me Usos/Viking Experience, I need it in my life.

[hammerva]

Give me at least one Revival vs Usos match.  I don't think they have faced each other

 

[C.S.]

I wonder if this means Naomi to Raw too?

Never did sadly.

[KawadaSmile]

Please let Sami cut a promo in Québécois

[KawadaSmile]

He's shooting, folks!

[Loss]

As I said on Twitter, I remember when I thought it would be insane for Sami Zayn to ever be anything except a babyface because he was such a natural. Now I think it would be insane for him to ever be anything but a heel because he's such a natural.

[ZThomas]

I hope this doesn't turn out to be basically Raw and SDLive switching Rosters for the most part because that's what its looking like. I hope the keep a few of the SD aces on SDLive.

We did get them as the final 2 teams at Survivor Series though.
