    WITH A TEAR IN MY EYE... that was a pretty cool moment to see between a father and a daughter.

    If you've never heard Charlotte in a radio interview, she's probably the most genuine WWE superstar I've ever heard.

    Call me crazy but I'm really liking the SS card so far. :idk:

    Best use of their best talent in a long time.

    Strowman is just the best. One of the few things WWE has done right over the years in terms of home grown talent.

    The irony being, I don’t think they really did it intentionally. At least not to the extent that he is over with the crowd

    Prediction Time

    5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match

    Team Captain Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, Triple H vs. Team Captain Shane McMahon, Randy Orton, Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura, John Cena

    In a swerve I'm saying Smackdown wins this after Triple H turns on Angle and a power struggle for RAW GM comes out of this. I think just Shane Survives. Don't know how Strowman gets eliminated, probably something stupid with Kane.

    5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match

    Team Captain Alicia Fox, Nia Jax, Asuka, Sasha Banks, Bayley vs. Team Captain Becky Lynch, Carmella, Tamina Snuka, Naomi, TBA

    Raw wins, Asuka and Fox left standing.


    RAW vs. SmackDown

    WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. WWE Champion AJ Styles

    Brock isn't losing

    RAW vs. SmackDown

    WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz vs. WWE United States Champion Baron Corbin

    Miz wins with help from Miztourage

    RAW vs. SmackDown

    RAW Women's Champion Alexa Bliss vs. SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair

    Tough one to call but I think they give it to Charlotte, want to keep her hot while the 30 for 30 on her dad is still in the news

    RAW vs. SmackDown

    RAW Tag Team Champions Sheamus and Cesaro vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos

    Usos

    RAW vs. SmackDown

    The Shield (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose) vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods)

    lol Roman losing to New Day

    Kickoff Pre-show: WWE Cruiserweight Title Match

    Kalisto vs. Enzo Amore

    I assume Enzo isn't losing on the preshow but really who gives a shit


    Assuming the mens 5v5 match goes last, Raw and Smackdown will be tied at 3-3. Smackdown winning and "winning" the show sets up for Stephanie to fire Angle, HHH takes over, they build to an Angle-HHH match probably for the Rumble.

    Watched on dvr because the Bama bball game was on.

    - Sami and KO standing in the back of that opening pep rally scene, totally not into it rolling their eyes and such. Definitely think they're planning on costing Team SD


    Forgot to post last night^^

    My first prediction is Smackdown male team is getting beat down, ref takes a bump, Owens and Zayn come in to seemingly make save for SD, but swerve, attack their own team (Shane) and help RAW win. I think they can do a lot more with the Sami and KO story line

    They didn't add HHH because they needed more star power, he's not coming in to take the pin.

    Forgot Cena was added, guessing somehow his fate is tied to Braun and they eliminate each other somehow to set up a match down the road

    Also I'm pumped for War Games but having McIntyre as the champ makes this card pretty blah overall. Interested in Black vs Dream and the women's 4 way should be fun, but get the belt on Adam Cole ASAP. McIntyre is going to flop in the WWE again, he's just so vanilla.

    Also just remembered HHH basically gave Owens the Universal title, could work that into the storyline as well. Have HHH secretively running the Owens and Zayn group, possibly start a new stable

    Seems kind of weird they released him. He's a bit player but surely he could have been used for something. He was good at the role he played.

    He was officially signed last November, so he probably just had a 1 yr deal. Good for him though. Any man with 2 hands has a fighting chance to make it to the big time.

    Playing off my previous posts, what if WWE in the RAW v SmackDown PPV, had a NXT team/faction form to destroy both, led by Triple H with Sami and KO. Not sure how you would work it all out, but he could be leading a team of disgruntled guys who were on NXT not get a shot on either show who "he discovered" and he trained at NXT. Bring back Neville who is rumored to maybe coming back, a disgruntled pair of KO and Sami, you could throw in guys like Samoa Joe, Shinsuke or Finn who aren't getting booked they way they should, or Rusev.

    PW Mania had a rumor that Sami, KO, Neville and Rusev are all good friends and could form a disgruntled stable This PPV is going to be an amazingly overbooked mess.

    Potential storylines
    Raw/SD
    Angle/Shane
    Shane/HHH
    HHH (Stephanie)/Angle
    Stephanie/Shane
    Angle/Jordan

    Add to it the KO faction not even being booked, along with Kane and also Daniel Bryan wanting be involved and its going to be a spectacle, and not in the good way.

    The top in the WCW one was too low and at times hindered the action. I wonder if this means we are going to see some grade A fuckery in this match or if its just for technical reasons

    I just proposed to Kairi, and I don’t speak much Japanese, but I can’t say she said no

    She also stopped doing the elbow on House shows, so we’ll have a long life together in sports entertainment

    I just remembered they had Shisuke Nakamura beat Jon Cena clean so that he could get a World Title shot and then lose to Jinder Mahal multiple times in a row. That's fantastic.

    any of you play the WWE Champions app?

    I loved wrestling growing up, stopped watching for a decade, then my kid downloaded this game on my phone and now I'm back to watching weekly.

    There is an Ellsworth rumor floating around. Long story short.....Ellsworth was going to move his character as a transgender and wrestle Charlotte at Mania. It's why they started with the money in the bank. The wwe were setting this up. When the release decision was made, they did the beat down thing with Becky
