Guest Choken One Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Well we all heard the stunning announcement made by Vince tonight, as The Brands are RESETING back to one and it's another Lottery. Here is Prediction Central and Site for anything related to this dramatic shakeup.
Guest Krazy Karter Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 < was just about to start this thread Vince said the General managers of both brands aren't adequately doing their jobs. I'm guessing Heyman gets fired from Smackdown somehow prompting him to restart ECW. This is a positive step for the company, and if done right could make a lot of money. The brand extension has *killed* the rosters by hindering possible matchups. Vince is 100% correct in making this move.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I think there should be some sort of contest. Pick a certain number of wrestlers for each roster. 2 points for a correct pick in order, 1 point for a correct pick.
Karc Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 This is the exact same garbage that happened in 2002, and it cost them millions. I don't see how this is a good move. It's just hitting the reset button. Actually, since none of these current storylines are working, they have nothing left to lose.
Guest Anglesault Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I've been watching the Flair DVD (Flair vs. Windham, and no, I don't understand a word Dusty has said) Is it really gonna be a total reset? If so, Angle/HBK, PLEASE!
Art Sandusky Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Fix the topic title. It's a lottery, not a draft.
Guest Choken One Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Eh...same thing almost... But hey, AS~! Looks like you might get your HBK/Angle afterall!
Guest Anglesault Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Looks like you might get your HBK/Angle afterall! ::Jigs::
Guest drdrainoscott Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 For some reason, this reminds me exactly of the Smackdown video games... The reasoning for this reset is pretty obvious to me. Hunter just appeased the whole smart crowd by cleanly dropping the title to Beniot. Somehow I have a feeling the only reason why he did this was so that he can now go after the WWE title, which everyone knows is the real title. Since he did the job to Beniot, it is only fair that Eddy puts him over.
Guest BionicRedneck Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Why would anybody want a Shawn-Kurt feud? Sure, the match would be OK, but the promos/build-up? Ugh...
Guest Krazy Karter Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Fix the topic title. It's a lottery, not a draft. A draft would have been better because the undrafted guys would have had to fend for themselves by forming rebel groups, be it ECW or something else. I can just imagine Spike picketing all the shows with a "Will Job For Food" sign.
Molotov The Bear Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 *watches Benoit and Eddie's chances of holding their titles for much longer damn near vanish when Cripps get picked on SD and Taker gets put on RAW.* Bye Bye title reigns. It was fun while it lasted....
Anakin Flair Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 He didn't say the brand extension is dead. He said the rosters needed a change, so Smackdown stars will come to Raw for the LOTTERY only. It just means the rosters for the shows are changing, not that the extension is ending.
Guest Choken One Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Why would anybody want a Shawn-Kurt feud? Sure, the match would be OK, but the promos/build-up? Ugh... we just want the match really...
Guest Anglesault Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Sure, the match would be OK, but the promos/build-up? Ugh... This current Angle vs. not as boring Shawn would be good promos.
Guest Choken One Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Fix the topic title. It's a lottery, not a draft. well, TWICE they have called it a DRAFT or Draft Lottery...So no need to change.
Guest Choken One Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Sure, the match would be OK, but the promos/build-up? Ugh... This current Angle vs. not as boring Shawn would be good promos. Only if Mr. Morals is allowed to expose Shawn's Hypocrasies... Nah...I liked Heel Degenerate Shawn the Most...Let Shawn go back to that with a dapple of his current "Holier then Thou" attitude and Keep Angle's current sthick and run with it... Save it for Summerslam.
Guest Anglesault Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I also think Kurt/Shawn is the best thing either guy could do post-Mania.
Guest Choken One Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I'd Have The Benoit/HBK Blowoff at Backlash...Benoit retaining...HBK saying fuck that and going COMPLETE heel...Does something with Jericho again (after he finishes the X program) just to kill time and then kick into the Summer Angle/HBK Program leading to HBK putting Angle over as he goes and gets his surgery and presumably retires...Angle does a "Fairwell tour" and retires with ONE more match with Benoit as a thank you to the fans.
Guest Brian Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Except for Benoit-HBK. Because they've been building up to that. And Benoit still needs to beat him for that RAW loss.
teke184 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 This is good in that they have blown most of the matchups on each roster. However, I thought it would be a limited number of trades between the rosters rather than a full-blown shakeup. The reason this is happening probably isn't due to Taker or Trips throwing a bitch-fit but, rather, because both Goldberg and Brock left. They actually had some plans while Brock was still in the picture but, with him gone, they scrapped everything and started over, much like Vince beating Flair the night Austin walked out in 2002.
claydude14 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I predict Jericho and Trips remain on the same roster.
Guest Anglesault Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I'd Have The Benoit/HBK Blowoff at Backlash...Benoit retaining...HBK saying fuck that and going COMPLETE heel...Does something with Jericho again (after he finishes the X program) just to kill time and then kick into the Summer Angle/HBK Program leading to HBK putting Angle over as he goes and gets his surgery and presumably retires... And what is Angle doing while Shawn faces everyone but him?
razazteca Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Fix the topic title. It's a lottery, not a draft. A draft would have been better because the undrafted guys would have had to fend for themselves by forming rebel groups, be it ECW or something else. I can just imagine Spike picketing all the shows with a "Will Job For Food" sign. Oh no don't tell me that WWE will steal the angle from late 90's USWA with Billy Joe Travis protesting outside of the tv studio.
Guest Choken One Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I'd Have The Benoit/HBK Blowoff at Backlash...Benoit retaining...HBK saying fuck that and going COMPLETE heel...Does something with Jericho again (after he finishes the X program) just to kill time and then kick into the Summer Angle/HBK Program leading to HBK putting Angle over as he goes and gets his surgery and presumably retires... And what is Angle doing while Shawn faces everyone but him? Angle's not my concern...You can decide that on your own...
Guest Anglesault Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Well, your scenario leaves me no options.
ChrisMWaters Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I'm just hoping this means a return of the Hurricane in the Cruiserweight Division.
Guest Choken One Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 there's 20 other workers to shift through...You pick them... I just want to seperate them until SummerSlam time... I'll let you have Jericho if you want Him...
bobobrazil1984 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 All I have to say... I hope WWE and Vince had a rough plan on who was going where before announcing the re-lottery. :-\
