DrVenkman PhD Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Aww, I liked Justin's post before you toyed with it, Venkman. It's not like they're locked when that happens.
Chazz Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Miz and Morrison on SD? So much for last week's show being a one shot deal. Doesn't Smackdown still have that talent exchange thing going or was that ended when Raw started using ECW talent? I'm assuming that ended when Raw signed their talent exchange deal with ECW, otherwise there def. wouldn't be a point to the separation then. Of course the way they've been doing it lately, there really is no point to it now, but I digress. They never said it did (and since it still tapes with SD, it didn't). That basically makes ECW the ultimate brand. So to recap; Raw stars can appear on ECW, and ECW stars can appear on Raw. SD stars can still appear on ECW, and ECW stars can still appear on SD. Yeah, I see why it really is important that they keep the brand separation going.

PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 None of it matters any more. The creative staff will use talent when and wherever they want.
Chazz Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 That's why they should just end this illusion of a brand extension. Although it will be good for a couple of laughs when they try to sell a ppv based on the premise of cross branded match, or when they try to tell us about how important the annual draft is.
ChrisMWaters Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 I somewhat agree with the end of the brand extension. But the biggest problem is how crowded the main event scene would be if they did. I mean, here are all the guys who have held either the WWE or World Heavyweight titles: Shawn Michaels The Undertaker Triple H Kane John "Bradshaw" Layfield Edge The Big Show Chris Jericho John Cena Rey Mysterio Batista Randy Orton The Great Khali CM Punk So you have 14 guys there that have held either or both of those belts. Like I said, the main event scene would be too cluttered.
Psycho Penguin Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 I'm guessing there's more to the Bella thing than what was typed, because that seems like a lame way to finally end it. "Oh yeah, I have a twin under the ring lol"
DrVenkman PhD Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 With a chance to face HHH for the WWE Title at Survivor Series in the balance, Vladimir Kozlov takes on his toughest foe to date - The Undertaker.
ChrisMWaters Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 With a chance to face HHH for the WWE Title at Survivor Series in the balance, Vladimir Kozlov takes on his toughest foe to date - The Undertaker. And a US title match between Benjamin and R-Truth

TheFranchise Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 I don't know if you guys get the vault matches over there, but in England the vault match tonight is the Team DX vs Team Rated RKO match.
DrVenkman PhD Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Nah, we enjoy commercials in North America and don't need filler to make 88 minutes of show a 2 hour broadcast.
TheFranchise Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Hmm.. I don't know how it travels on the 'net.. Do you mean you'd prefer getting it or that you actually would rather have the extra adverts?
Twisted Intestine Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Maybe if every ad was for something different instead of playing the same 3 over and over.
DrVenkman PhD Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Hmm.. I don't know how it travels on the 'net.. Do you mean you'd prefer getting it or that you actually would rather have the extra adverts? Your British accent is confusing me but rest assured I was being facetious. From what I've gathered I, you Brits have wacky advertising policies. If WWE tries to mention a brand name or an upcoming DVD during a televised broadcast, all hell breaks loose. Thus, I assume there is also a restriction on the amount of ad time during a show (and I remember you or some Brit was watching a live stream of Raw once and getting really mad at these "super long" 2.5 minute ad breaks or so). WWE only films 88 minutes or so worth of TV, so a 2 hour broadcast in the UK would need filler. Hence, a Vault Match. We actually have a similar deal in Canada where we have a limited amount of allowed ad time (I think it's only slightly less than US ad time though), so to fill time, we get Jack Korpela doing live event news segments and informing us when someone will be signing autographs.
Slickster Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 Looked like MVP was wearing one of Chono's Aristrist brand T-shirts during the opening segment.
RepoMan Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 The Khali Kiss Kam would have been a great segment back in the day when a wrestler would host Heat from WWE NY, but that went on WAY too long here.
RepoMan Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 Shelton-R Truth was way too short. I was confident it would at least go through a commercial break. The TBK segment had a retarded amount of wierd ass sexual tension.
Slickster Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 What is it with bodyguards wearing plain black tights and no kneepads? First Bam Neely, now Ezekiel Jackson.
foleyfanforever88 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 TBK: And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance.. Jimmy Wang Yang: Ezekiel 25:17? Zeke: NO. Sam Jackson. Pulp Fiction. Ha.
foleyfanforever88 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 wtf is wrong with Hardy Vickie told him he wasn't WWE championship material and that tag team wrestling was what he does best, if you're asking why he looks pissed off.
The Truthiness Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 Hardy/HHH just got interesting.
ChrisMWaters Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 If Khali learns enough English, I could ALMOST see Khali being a modern day face Andre. ALMOST.
sluggo Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 is Taker reversing back to Big Evil Biketaker? (His tights)
Exslade ZX Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 "The Devil's Triangle". Taker's submission finally got a name. At least this is the first I'm hearing of it.
ChrisMWaters Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 I wonder if Taker/Hardy Extreme will be half as good as Taker/Hardy Ladder was back in 2002.
