So why is Solo packaged together with Roman and the Uso's aren't? If RAW drafted Judgement Day would they get Finn, Dominic, Priest and Rhea or would Rhea be separate because she's a champion?

Current draft picks

1) Roman (w/ Heyman and Solo) stays at SD
2) Cody to RAW
3) Bianca to SD
4) Becky stays at RAW

5) Street Profits to SD
6) Imperium to RAW
7) Edge to SD
8) Matt Riddle to RAW


9) Lashley to SD
10) Drew to RAW
11) The OC (AJ, Michin, Sour Boy and Gallows) to SD
12) Miz to RAW

Seems to me that RAW isn't doing very good with their picks outside of Imperium and Cody.

It's probably supposed to be a buckshot lariat thing where it feels like the flip should add more kinetic force despite physics not working that way. But when the other guy has to be in the ropes before you start the move it just adds too many steps and the match loses momentum.

Still, it could be a cool spot for a tag match. Your partner gets the other guy in the ropes and tags you in, you're already in position so you can go straight to doing a cool jumping suplex, it'd be a neat moment. But it's just weird in a singles match.


Yeah it's perfectly cromulent as a tag spot but doe not work in a singles match.

Okay this could legit go both ways, either Roman wins every belt in existence or Sami & KO retain and then get beaten up for heat.

It will be extremely funny if the tag belts are held hostage by Roman and not defended.

Roman might have a chance of showing something of he wasn't wrestling the WWE/HHH style of punch, walk, punch, walk some more, REST HOLD

People went "oh he's actually pretty good in ring" when he got to just be a fast paced brawler with a handful of power moves so instead they turned him into a boring plodding guy that monologues during matches.

Which is weird because at one point he used to be a pretty explosive wrestler, I suspect that either his shameful back is letting him down or the WWE doesn't want him to wrestle in a way that could possibly get cheered.

The Terry Funk references they did do in that episode, with Cody doing the egg-sucking dog line and the Brawling Brutes doing the ladder spin spot got absolute dead silence. WWE hasn't spent their time cultivating an audience that knows anything about Terry Funk anyway.

For WWE standards the Bray stuff there was as good a tribute as you can expect from them imo

I think it would have probably been for the best to do the tribute video and a couple of video packages on Smackdown and to announcer that RAW will be the Bray Wyatt tribute episode. Instead of trying to do something like the Terry Funk memorial tag match which the WWE is absolutely incapable of doing something worthy of his memory.

When you get Neal McDonough to play M. Bison for your awful Chun Li movie, who are you to tell him he can't play Bison as Irish. From what I've heard, the movie is chock-full with bizarre performances like that, like the director gave everybody a Macho Man Promo amount of cocaine and had them brainstorm their ideas for their characters.

For some reason Vega was acting like he's actually super ugly and that's why he wears the mask which is counter to his characterization in every other Street Fighter property.
