KawadaSmile Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Those two are absurdly over, man. Truly impressive, really. Raw still has some gaping flaws, but even compared to like three weeks ago it feels like a whole different show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 I actually love the twist on the tired WWE trope of "tag partners who don't like each other" by having them actually end up liking each other (kinda). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Kayden Carter is pretty darn good, not gonna lie. I thought Kacy was going to be more appealing to the crowd by this point, but alas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Valentina Feroz representing Brazil. Good that people were chanting for her as well as Kay Lee Ray, but she is very green. But hey, she got TV time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Carmelo Hayes vs Odyssey Jones is the type of thing NXT should be doing more often. Those dudes are part of the future, promote them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I was wondering how long before Legado de Fantasma would counter the presence of B-Fab for Hit Row with somebody and seems like Elektra Lopez/Karissa Rivera was the answer.

sek69 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 So SRS reported Brock's new deal is for "about a year and a half", so considering WWE usually insists on 3 year deals and Brock usually insists on 1 year deals it looks like they just met in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 With Roman, Sasha, Becky, Brock (and really, even Cena) exclusively on Smackdown now, is this the first time Raw has been the genuine B-show? There were times when you could say Smackdown was 1A, but Raw was always the flagship show. Even when Cena and Hunter were drafted to SD years back, Raw was still the A-show. But it feels different now. I mean no disrespect to Lashley and Drew, but that star power is not close to comparable. SD is on a different level.

Strummer Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Apparently NBC/Universal are not happy about Becky and Brock going to Smackdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 WWE kind of painted themselves in a corner with their TV partners. They were so thirsty to be back on network TV that they were annoying their long time cable partners, and when they try to appease them they upset Fox because they didn't spend a billion dollars to have the B show. A sane person probably could have figured out a way to make both sides relatively happy, but Vince lives in a world where he can only pay attention to one show at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I can't say it's the wrong decision by WWE. The Fox deal is massive for them and gets them on network TV. NBC/Universal are getting their Network business and WWE said this Summerslam was watched by more people than in the last two years, so Universal can't complain too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yup, the situation in question is hardly one you can say "oh shit WWE is fucked" because they are absolutely going to get ridiculous deals down the line. Plus, with Becky and Brock on SD, I doubt they'll keep Sasha there. She'll probably go to RAW - and possibly do what Charlotte is unwilling to do, which is put over other people.

sek69 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yeah it's not a "WWE is fucked" situation, they just are trying to please both masters at the same time which is made harder by being run by an old man with the attention span of a 5 year old with ADHD. Any other company in the world would love to have the problem of juggling multiple billion dollar TV deals, it's just that you know WWE is going to find some way to bungle that's what they do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummer Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Newest Observer says Brock coming back was a last minute deal. With Cena leaving again and Punk going to AEW they felt they needed to make a big move. FOX was promised Brock and Becky as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I imagine since Fox was the latter deal signed they had to make explicit promises they didn't have to make when they signed the USA deal. It all makes me wonder how much input the networks have on the day to day operation of the shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
