I find my enjoyment of PPV's very much increases as the amount of Raw I watch decreases so I wouldn't bother
Haha - I've heard that helps. I might want to watch one or two segments though. Just so I vaguely understand what the reason is that people are supposed to be feuding (or that there isn't a reason).

I'd love Kurt Angle back in the WWE, in any capacity.

Pound for pound he's probably my all time favourite.

If Kurt does return it should be as the Smackdown GM. Would be great to see him interact with Shane and Stephanie again.

I can imagine the network pressuring Vince to bring back a bunch of late 90's and early 2000's stars. But does this mean WWE is turning into TNA from a decade ago? Suppose we'll know for sure if they introduce the electrified cage match - the Ambrose Asylum was eerily similar to Lethal Lockdown

USA apparently weren't happy with Smackdown's ratings, hence the move to a live show. Sounds like there was some pressure from the network.

And Kurt would make a great Smackdown GM, especially if HHH was running Raw.

I do think it's set that The McKids will be running each show though. Stephanie more likely to run Raw opposite Shane's Smackdown.

Really? Where'd you hear that?

We dont need former talent coming back just for a Brand split. There is enough guys on the roster to fill the split easily.

Is it really that difficult to give the lower end wrestlers decent air time? Thats what I loved about the last split because the main event guys wasent hogging air time on both shows. It gave people a chance to get air time.
It's been reported around a few sites. Meltzer covered it at the tail end of Observer Radio last night. He's spoken to a number of guys who have been contacted about coming in. Some of them don't see it as financially beneficial for them as they can make more money doing smaller shows, where you get your travel and accommodation covered. Their tee-shirts and pictures can generate a good revenue stream for talent as well.

So looking at the betting odds there is a very clear favourite for the MITB match

Anyone else expecting to see a dodgy ending to the World Title match which leads to a second World Title being formed for the brand split next month?

I won't be staying up for the MITB PPV/Network special because of work tomorrow. Should be a really good show. I'm sure those of you staying up will enjoy it (the majority, anyway). If not...the conversation on this thread usually takes some of the pain of watching WWE away.

The problem is that Angle in a manager role will inevitably lead to Angle wrestling.

This place is very dead given there's a PPV this evening - though I can't blame you guys given the gruel WWE serve up.
I've been really busy the last few weeks and not caught much Raw/SD but sounds like I'm not missed much if anything.
TBH I think it's a shame that this thread seems dead for MITB especially with there being some good matches on the card I am mostly looking forward to the MITB Ladder match plus Im more intrigued by the outcome of Cena/Styles and Reigns/Rollins.

Like I've said before on this thread I would love to see Kurt Angle back in WWE just not wrestling in a match.

I actually see the whole night being rather predictable. I'd be more than happy to be wrong though.

And judging by the booking of recent multiman ladder matches, I'd imagine (without looking at the odds) the best person to bet on in the match is the one who has the least chance and would make the least sense winning. I call it the 'Ryder rule'.

Anybody seen this really strange story about Adam Rose planning to sell t-shirts with his mugshot printed onto it? He's now pulled the shirts but making money out of being accused of twatting your wife is a bit cheap lol.

A bit off-topic but the USGA at the US Open golf seem as useful as WWE officials during a brawl.

Think I'll stick on the golf until 1 at least. Beats watching FaBreeze.

Heck even the France/Switzerland match was more eventful than anything that WWE has produced in the last few weeks ok it wasn't an entertaining game but at least the Football burst at one point during the match.
