quotes from linked article

quote:
"Smackdown," which moved to the NBCUniversal-owned outlet from sister Syfy in January, will be broadcast live for two hours every week starting Tuesday, July 19, from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., resulting in five hours of live WWE programming on the network each week
quote:
The debut of a live "Smackdown" comes as two of the WWE's biggest attractions, John Cena and Seth Rollins, are returning to competition from injuries. And the company is expected to create strong points of differentiation between "Smackdown" and USA's other live program, "Monday Night Raw," according to the WWE. A draft will be held before the "Smackdown" launch date to determine which wrestlers on the company's talent roster will be assigned to which program. Each show is expected to feature separate cast, plots and writing teams.

I might have to start watching Smackdown again when they move go live. I don't think I've seen more than a couple of episodes since college.

I'm interested to hear/see Mauro Ranallo and Jerry Lawler again. Also interested to see if the writing/stories are any better.

quote:
According to The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, details are hard to come by as many of the important decisions regarding the split haven't even been made by WWE's higher-ups yet. Meltzer has revealed, though, that as per numerous sources in the company, WWE is currently planning on having two world champions for the two separate brands.
quote:
The brand split will also have an incredible impact on the industry as a whole, as WWE will be looking to create two separate large rosters without stripping NXT of its talent (and thereby, its ability to draw on the road).

Meltzer is reporting that WWE will be taking a close look at talent from Japan, TNA, ROH, and Mexico, and that now more than ever, the old rules for recruiting talent when it comes to size and look no longer apply.

How much raiding will they honestly have to do? All they have to do is wait for everyone to comeback from injury and they could split from there. Maybe call up a few from NXT (Balor, Samoa Joe, Nakamura)? And then backfill from the others, but I dont' think they'll need many.

Will be curious to see how this all shakes out. I'm not sure if I like having a completely clean split. Surely there would be some bleeding through company lines, right?

I am very happy that the brands are going to split, and think this will make the product a lot fresher. Moreover, the amount of talent they have right now is ridiculous, and this will give them more of an opportunity to shine.

However, can we just call this the "Roman Reigns Bland Split", as this becomes an easier way to make him their top guy on one of the brands and it be more appealing/accepted vs. trying to compete against anyone (and everyone) else?
Mr.KyleReed

Roman - Raw Champion
Cena - Smackdown Champion

That's the general agreement right?

And they should split up Zayn and Ownes, one costing the other the belts they're going after at ppv's, building up big matches at the big 4 ppv's

I wonder if they will have the draft lottery again like they did back in the day. I always enjoyed that more than I probably should have.

I'll look at the roster in a few minutes and see what I would do for a split.

Raw is also going to need a few more people, since it will still be 3 hours, and Smackdown at 2

What are everyone's thoughts on the cryptic "Hatch" tweets from WWE?

Something having to do with the brand split? Old belt? Hurley from Lost?

The timing of the show seems off right now. Three major commercial spots so far...

Do they not have enough filler for the 3 hours?
Geralt of Rivia

With the amount of replays that just happened that they show, you'd think they have enough filler for 4 hours

Triple W....up for a drinking game?

Every time they go to commercial, take a drink.
Every time JBL says "Byron", take a drink.
