It's only a matter of time before Sasha stakes her claim, but she's nursing injuries now isn't she? I wonder if this is just the holding pattern until then. I'm a little miffed that muh gurl Becky never got to hold the NXT title and since coming up she's been on the sideline there as well.

Steel Wolf · **05-25-2016, 10:48 AM**

Personally I wouldn't mind a contender tournament. Or more Becky. Really, Charlotte is a great enough heel that plenty of possible stories could come out of it.

Warren Castille · **05-25-2016, 10:56 AM**

Really, I'd like to see more work from people outside of the title picture as far as the women go. It's been pretty formulaic for a while now: Charlotte holds the belt, someone enters feud, contender beats up others until title match, Charlotte wins, repeat.

We don't really get to see women's wrestling if it isn't directly attached to the title. I wonder if that's because the roster is stretched so thin right now: The NXT women should not ever be losing to the Total Divas generation of wrestler-models but that makes the pool pretty shallow. There's what, Bella, Foxy, Paige, Becky, Sasha, Dana, Charlotte? Lana, if she's not just a valet?

I need to check into the site more often, else I would've seen this thread sooner.

I never liked the first brand split. It turned out well in the beginning, but as it went on, SmackDown ended up feeling like the B league, and I worry that's going to happen again regardless of what wrestlers they decide to drop there.

I dunno, we'll see how it turns out. My big hope is that they'll give SmackDown its own set again rather than just a lighting change. I miss the giant fist. Also, more Mauro Ranallo on commentary is always a good thing.

Warren Castille · **05-25-2016, 05:01 PM**

Don't get me wrong, I'm super worried that WWE is going to WWE all over this like they always do. It has potential, but that just means they've got room to do things no one wants.

My chief concerns are that New Day gets split up, Enzo and Cass get split up, or that it goes back to "A Show, B Show" like mentioned above. The way I'd do it is that champions work both shows, and once you lose the belt you end up on the show of the person who beat you. It gives a little bit of wiggle room to move people and shift feuds without upsetting the entire hierarchy.

Kellach Woods · **05-25-2016, 06:50 PM**

I don't think New Day will get split up immediately. They'll wait until merch starts dying, then send them out to pasture.

Warren Castille · **05-25-2016, 06:56 PM**

I don't know, man. Didn't the Hardys, the Dudleys and Edge and Christian all get cut by the split? My memory of break-ups and drafts gets a bit hazy.

Kellach Woods · **05-25-2016, 07:26 PM**

A lot of them got cut by the split, but New Day technically can't get cut - since it's a 3 man ensemble. One person gets cut, the other two can remain as a tag team.

But splitting the three up would be a really bad move.

Most of my exposure to the WWE comes form Botchamania and second hand stories from my roommate so I can't add much to this discussion. Can say that I'm taking my brother-in-law to the local promotion's equivalent of WrestleMania so I'll try and get some nice pictures for you fools.

*BODYSLAMS LIFE BACK INTO THREAD*

So how do we feel about things since the brand split? There's no way you're going to convince me that Raw is better than Smackdown, even if it's got a few great individual pieces.

ExAtomos · **11-07-2017, 11:45 AM**

I'm resurrecting this thread to find folks who may be interested in a wrestling event in game! Plans are in the works and we could use some participants (wrestlers, promoters, sponsors, security, healers, audience plants, etc.) Please message me if you're interested! You can also contact me via discord exatomos#4455 and I'll add you to our chat group.

I just want to remind everyone that Wrestle Kingdom 12 is among us. Soon.

War Machine's last fight with NJPW before they move to WWE is tomorrow.

Kenny Omega vs Chris Jericho will be a thing. I am a fan of Omega. He really can make any wrestling match look pretty good. Like, what even is that match with the 9 year old girl? And Omega vs Yano Toru was... hilarious.

don't mind me I was hyped just watching a few matches in Japan and I've been pretty into it for 2017 x.x
