WWE: WWE TV - Raw & Smackdown Part 3

[Emperoreddy]

Smackdown was awful

The HOF broadcast saved it

Weird they treated RAW as the go home show and smackers as just a throw away show.

 

[BostonBob]

This is pretty good.

 

[Sheppy]

Again, the HOF needs to be a stand alone event.

They should just not have Smackdown the night before Wrestlemania.

 

[Unholy Diver]

he was probably looking for catering

We’ll see next year if USA keeps Smackdown on Friday.

It makes sense that this Smackdown is a throwaway show, you don’t want anyone to get hurt the night before Wrestlemania. There was a few years I don’t think they even did a live show.

NXT Stand & Deliver starts in about 45 minutes.

Edit: wrong thread.

 

[Sheppy]

Are we getting a Lesnar return? Heyman was mentioning him like crazy at the HOF

 

[Jussi]

I hope Punk is fit by Clash At The Castle. Drew vs Punk there makes too much sense.

Paul Levesque was asked about him and he didn’t say yes, but it was definitely not no and confirmed they did talk about Royal Rumble, so I think we will definitely see him again. If it was no, he probably dodges the question.

yeah, he said he isn't gone from wwe, he is just currently at home being Brock

 

[Emperoreddy]

Brock is still no where to be seen in all of the Mania video packages this weekend, including the historical ones. Same with Vince.

They have shown the Hardys, edge and Christian, Bryan, and Sasha Banks with some name drops.

So idk if Brock is really going to show up anytime soon

It seems like a lot of PLEs but they need to maximize revenue so it's what must happen.

Not even 5 months recovery time. Probably not happening, at his age.

Probably don't want to book themselves into that corner anyways. Punk probably goes over Drew and I'm not sure they want to have Drew go under at CATC again.

I think they can actually get away with it in the Triple H PPV format.

They're kept within 2 1/2 to 3 hours an only have 5 matches, unlike the marathons Vince used to run. Plus they come with the streaming subscription so it's not like you have to spend $60 like the old days.

It’s time for a new era.
