What is the point in the draft? I get they just want to piggyback on the buzz of the NFL draft, but it felt like 90% of the picks were just staying were they were.

Agreed unless they go back to single brand PLEs again then the draft doesnt really matter all that much

Currently just over an hour into SmackDown at the moment and it’s not been a particularly good show. In fact it’s been horribly formatted. I don’t know if the opening segment overran enormously and fudged the rest of the programme but there’s a balance to be struck between matches that needlessly go 15 minutes and nothing bouts that go 2 minutes. Coupled with the dire Draft and I’m wishing I’d gone with the ‘Tube highlights like I normally do.

I'm glad Damage CTRL are gone from Smackdown so they can stop being fed to Jade and Bianca at least. There are a lot of factions on RAW now.
This angry troll version of Drew has been great the past few months, hopefully he and Punk can heal up and stay healthy for a fun feud this year.

Yeah pointless, they should have just opened up one of the shows and said the GMs have agreed to a trade, here’s the list of those moving, thanks.

John Laurinaitis has done a U-turn, now opting to corroborate Vince McMahon’s account of things in full (having previously claimed he was also a victim of McMahon).
John’s attorney Edward Brennan:
John Laurinaitis has filed a Motion today fully joining in and adopting Vince McMahon’s motion to compel arbitration. Mr. Laurinaitis corroborates Mr. McMahon in publicly declaring that Ms. Grant’s allegations of sexual abuse and coercion in her Complaint are completely unfounded. My client will fight these false allegations together with Mr. McMahon in the proper forum, arbitration.

I wonder if he earned a nice extra pay packet for that decision.

Did anyone watch SD tonight. It was on 6 to 8 live as it's in France.
The crowd was absolutely electric. Amazing. Clearly long overdue taking some premium shows there.
Also anyone know how the ticket prices compared to Scotland. Were they also combo tickets? SD and backlash.
