So Xavier and Big E were on commentary for the first hour of SD. (Byron's dad died a couple days ago and Corey is apparently filming a movie?) Needless to say, it was pretty amazing Also, Isiah "Swerve" Scott (Shane Strickland) and Gulak had a pretty damn fantastic match on 205 Live.

This moment in particular was just insane and awesome and I can't stop watching it.
-
So you're down for making picks, yeah? @Nick @Eizan @KR @Garlic Junior @Psycho666Soldier Picks?
-
Yeah, that ending was hilariously bad. But everything else on TV was pretty good this week.
-
@Garlic Junior Yeah, what Mad said... so they had a "pool" of Superstars that could be drafted for Smackdown and one for Raw as their way of trying to make it so not every champion was immediately drafted during Smackdown (Part one of the draft was last Friday on Smackdown, Part two last night on Raw). And they shared the list of these pools. Unfortunately, someone (probably now fired) forgot to alphabetize those lists before putting them on dot com. So they were listed... before the show... in the order they ended up being drafted. Everyone picked up on this early, so we just followed along. WWE tried to mix it up a little, and alphabetized the pool lists over the weekend, but everything I think pretty much stayed as it was supposed to. Miz may have been the only one that ended up on a different show than originally intended. So yeah, they WWE'd their own draft. And everyone that wasn't drafted is a free agent that can go to whatever show they choose to. (Still permanently, not like a Wild Card or anything) Cesaro was not drafted. Titus O'Neil was. That's a thing that happened.

So we're moving the picks over to here, right?
-
Well that didn't take long
-
I'm cautiously optimistic as well. Especially if that bolded part about them essentially being what HHH is to NXT is true. Even if it isn't, I feel like if there's any chance of Vince being open to some changes, it's probably from those two.

You don't need to actually watch to make picks and be successful. I did the hard work anyway - Good lads - See above link
-
This one got me for a second...
-
What if I brought in some new blood to help spice up the competition in picks?

1) Basically playing his hype man/manager. Basically what Lio Rush was doing for Lashley... but far more entertaining https://i.imgur.com/kUgu51B.gifv 2) It really could be that reasoning. Though apparently Fox weren't pleased with him. 3) Could be just coincidence and unrelated... could be a slew of things from New Japan stuff on the new tier'd Network to a combined one-time SuperShow to them helping with NXT Japan to them beginning a full partnership like NJPW's had with ROH (that's up, isn't it?). That last one would open door for the others, I guess. I mean, the Viking Raiders had no problem mentioning that they were former IWGP Tag Champs in their post-win Promo last night and apparently there was some other New Japan-type mention somewhere... so who knows.

I'm annoyed by the main event's ending (most of it was awesome) and happy that Nick and I are going to go watch AEW in a couple weeks in Pittsburgh.
-
I think I read somewhere that it's just a fine now and Riddle has no problem paying it. Edit: Triple H even make jokes about his plane to Portland smelling bad. Apparently it's a $2,500 fine.
-
I had heard that it was fantastic from multiple places. Finally watched. Holy shit it did not disappoint.
-
It was such a good MITB match before that, too...
-
The PPV was actually pretty great as a whole, easily one of their top 3 of the year. Lots of matches were a lot better than they had any business being. Worth watching. Don't let the final moment ruin it for you.

Raw Roster: Smackdown Roster: Free Agents: Unlisted in Draft Pools/Part-Time/Other: Note: EC3, Eric Young, Sin Cara, Apollo Crews, Drew Gulak, Heath Slater, Tamina, and The B-Team weren't actually drafted. They were the undrafted people from Smackdown and signed with their brands after. So don't worry... Sin Cara wasn't drafted before Cesaro Finn is fully NXT now... wouldn't surprise me actually if Cesaro did the same.
-
But... you're still making picks, right?
-
Which one are you referring to? Monday Night Messiah and his disciples? Compared to the Dark Order?
-
Agreed, but I'd even add Strowman/Lashley to that. I really wasn't interested in that match at all and ended up loving it. It was absolutely beautiful.
-
The first hour and 50 minutes of the show were actually pretty great. Everything had a great energy about it, the new set is excellent, the camera angles weren't all Kevin Dunn-y. Yeah, when there was 7 minutes left for the main event, it was pretty apparent that it was going to go the way it did, and that definitely sucks... but don't knock the whole show.
