Cruiserweight Division is gonna be a huge help to RAW. Its hard not to die as a crowd when you get 3 squash matches a night. At least the Nia squash was fun, but Jinder and Bo are just time filler.

Especially if they keep the CWC style of letting them have 10mins to tell a story in the ring and dont do a lot of promo work

 

The Raw roster is surprisingly bad IMO. Even in a three hour show, guys like Bo and Jinder shouldn't be featured. But yeah the Cruiserweight Division should help.

 

Where should guys like Bo and Jinder be featured?

 

Greatest thing ive seen

 

Superstars/Main Event

 

Yep. Superstars this week is matches with Strouman and and a tag with Titus/Axel and Darren Young/Neville. I'd honestly rather have seen that tag match on RAW (since it advances an obvious CoC match) than the Jinder nonsense.

 

SD is 2-3 midcarders away from being perfect. They have a huge benefit of having aj and Cena too and a fun women's division.

Honestly it's time to just raid all of nxt. Get Roode and Joe and nakamura up here...it would do such wonders

 

House shows? I don't know... I mean, they don't even have story lines for the most part. I don't understand this approach.

 

I don't have a problem with them tryyyyying with what they have in the meantime. It wasn't a while ago where people like bo

 

SD really nailed it I think. I love the outcomes at the PPV and the roster has good variation/intrigue. Raw is stale.

And I agree. I said at the announcement that there would not be room for three shows.

 

Anyone know when the next NXT tapings are?

EDIT: Looks like this Thursday. Watch out for potential Roddy and Tommy End debuts.

 

I'm dead haha

 

You can have a nxt but don't hold back on superstars just because you want nxt to be good. Let it be developmental.

 

Well, thing is NXT isnt just developmental now. Its a touring brand, so, you have to have somebody that can draw people to venues night after night.

With the next Takeover in November, I bet Joe gets called up right after. Same for a few other guys (Revival, Gargano/Ciampa, etc).

 

Ciampa and Gargano are apart of the cruiserweight division I thought

 

Yep, they are.

 

Didn't someone (HHH probably?) say the crusierweights are going to be on Raw but then also work NXT house shows or something like that?

 

Nobody watches Main Event or Superstars.
The point of the split is for brand exclusive guys to fill out the rosters. While I agree Jinder vs Swagger doesn't make a lot of sense on its own it does make sense if they're building toward something with Mahal. Both rosters need low card guys too so you nerds don't complain when Neville is eating pins every week.

 

Yeah, but Im talking about them not even working in the tag division on NXT. Right now they'll be splitting time. Though they may continue splitting time longer if they take the titles off the revival at Takeover:Toronto

 

Gotta have face champs for the Authors to go over.

 

Part of me believes that the AOP are going to be the Nia Jax of the division where they're dominant and get to the title match, but never win them. In actuality they'll probably be the next Ascension; hold the titles for mad long then get called up for nobody to care

 

Good to see aj won, finally dean is no longer champ

 

Holy shit, Chuck v Trent at Thirteen was nuts.
