And Smackdown.

I like the idea of Shane making change but unless Shane is actually booking in creative I fear it will be the same show.

Well WWE did show the whole segment on youtube.

But yeah without the internet that screws some fans.

The big match at battleground I wouldnt be suprised if Ambrose & Rollins did a double pin on Roman and making that a draw.

We are getting a rematch tonight/tomorrow morning, of the WWE title match on Smackdown.

Michael Cole is going to be on Smackdown its going to be a 4 man announce team

Three is bad enough but four is overkill. Shame they don't just have two guys on comms.

The ending was fine. Tbey should have left it like that until tonight's Smackdown. Finishes like that cause speculation and discussion and makes viewers tune in to see how it's resolved.

Cole probably for one night. Then back to 3

Agree there Panda. NXT shows that a two man team is fine.

WWE historically used two man teams for ages and it worked fine.


Cole will be on there as he's WWE's main guy and the draft is a significant event.

It will be overcrowded with four comms though.

Remember when Raw, Smackdown and ECW commentators all did PPV's? At times you could have six people all trying to commentate at once and it just didn't work.

Oh yeah it will be an utter mess. Should probably have used one as host rather than desk.

The Wrestling Observer reports that WWE is being sued by more than 50 wrestlers who claim the company hid long-term effects of neurological injuries from years of in-ring action.

The suit, filed on Monday in federal court in New Haven, Connecticut, alleges that WWE failed to care for wrestlers' repetitive head injuries "in any medically competent or meaningful manner" and misrepresented and concealed the nature of long-term neurological injuries they suffered as a result of their WWE careers.

The former wrestlers claim WWE "placed corporate gain over its wrestlers’ health, safety and financial security, choosing to leave the plaintiffs severely injured and with no recourse to treat their damaged minds and bodies."

The wrestlers also say WWE deliberately ignored and hid from them "medically important and possibly lifesaving information" about specific neurological conditions, such as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, that affect wrestlers and athletes who play contact sports prone to head trauma.

"The WWE knows that its wrestlers including the plaintiffs are at great risk for these diseases such as CTE that can result in suicide, drug abuse and violent behavior that pose a danger to not only the athletes themselves but their families and community, yet the WWE does nothing to warn, educate or provide treatment to them," the wrestlers said in the suit.

WWE issued the following statement in response:

“This is another ridiculous attempt by the same attorney who has previously filed class action lawsuits against WWE, both of which have been dismissed. A federal judge has already found that this lawyer made patently false allegations about WWE, and this is more of the same. We’re confident this lawsuit will suffer the same fate as his prior attempts and be dismissed."

Why the f**k is Slick on that list? He was a manager, its not like he was a wrestler like Heenan or Genius, I think the only bumps he took was taking DaveyBoy Smith's powerslam or going into the cage during the Hogan/Bossman feud.

A reporter has said before this attorney is contacting former talent telling them if enough people get on it, WWE will just bow to the pressure and settle out of court. It hasn't worked the past two times but he keeps trying.

hi i'm a new member anyone else think that they could split up enzo and cass tonight and push cass to a wold championship.

Because he's.............

A jive soul bro
And you're always lyin' to you friends
You're a jive soul bro
A jive soul bro
And you'll never get nothin' in the end

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, ladies?
This is the Slickster talkin' to ya
I don't do nothin' but tell the truth
Heh, heh, heh, heh

Welcome to the thread.

Could they split the up? Definitely.

In regards to Cass being a main eventer Vince changes his mind all the time so whilst he might think Cass could be a main eventer now, he probably won't in a month.


Panda dancin like Akeem.

Better than him! I take it to da streetz esé!

Viva la Panda.

Wow a 4 man announce team that sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Hi there and welcome to the wild and wacky world of DS to answer your question I hope Enzo and Cass don't split up plus I think it's too soon to push Cass to a World championship.

Love that song and the Akeem dance

Viva Pinata!

What happened to that new tag team that Ellering was with?

Are they still apart if NxT??

ICW posted this morning they expect Foley to still do all indy dates he's booked on, meaning he may not be GM for long...

He was probably taking bumps at house shows.

One I'm surprised at is King Kong Mosca, was he in post national expansion WWF?

I get the sense that he will end up replacing Lawler in the next couple of years. I can only assume he hasnt been called up to the main show is due to Corey being used throughout the Network and along with Renee is the lead.

Be interesting how HHH will be used from now on. I do get the feeling we might end up seeing him occasionally on NxT and being the head of the brand (which is he already anyways) with Regal as the GM (as is the case now). That way its Stephanie = Raw, Shane = Smackdown and HHH = NxT with Vince above them all. Play their cards right and if they can get them all separate as and when Vince does decide to call it a day there is a ready made power struggle storyline.
