^Even better! Do it Sage

Ha! I don't have jurisdiction in this section, so HR or Marx will have to do it.

 

[Lobo]

You will soon enough! Now, unfortunately I need to get back to work

 

[MoPlaYa]

Now Mark Henry, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Alex Riley, Ted Dibiase, Yoshi Totsu, and Daniel Bryan will all get a chance to shine on SD

 

[bullets]

I know it's not gonna happen but I'm hoping Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins get put back together again... I miss tag teams...

Howard Finkel was on the live chat trying to stir this up a bit . I hope it does happen but given the state of tag wrestling in wwe it seems unlikely.

my new smackdown six ... yoshi tatsu , sin cara , christian , daniel bryan , cody rhodes , and tyson kidd (if used) . I'm also glad Sheamus got drafted , he could help fill the gap when it comes to heels.

Howard Finkel was on the live chat trying to stir this up a bit . I hope it does happen but given the state of tag wrestling in wwe it seems unlikely.

I put them together in my WWE Universe mode and added Primo as a lackey and Vance Archer as the hired muscle. Each day that passes since 2002 I yearn for an actual tag team division again.

 

[Heretic]

Isn't Kofi facing Wade Barrett at the PPV for the IC title??? If so, I fully expect him to win.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So Beth goes to Raw....well Kong can't squash everyone. She'll need a tough opponent.

 

[Dr. Evil]

[Project862006]

masters is not getting released imo this is the time to give him his shot he has improved alot lately

 

[bullets]

It would be so stupid to release guys a day or two after moving them in the draft . Then again they drafted Cena twice and threw out the entire credibility of the draft so who knows.

If they do release people this week I'd like to see it done in the same fashion they did the draft on the wwe website. Open up a live chat and randomly release member of the roster.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I think two divas will be released, and neither of them were drafted today. Kaitlyn and Rosa Mendes will probably go.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

- Jim Ross and his BBQ products will be at the Legends of the Ring convention on May 7th in Monroe, New Jersey. Other stars appearing include MVP, Kurt Angle, Sunny, Dusty Rhodes, Vader, Carlito, Chyna, Ken Shamrock, Lacey Von Erich, Perry Saturn, Paul Bearer, Diamond Dallas Page and more.

I would love to go to this. I want to see Carlito get Vader Bombed.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I'm still thinking ADR wins the WHC on Sunday and Randy Orton takes it away from him at the next pay per view.

I'll cut Masters some slack, but agreed with the rest

What was Kaitlyn's prize again for winning NXT? I still think AJ or Naomi shoulda won...they seemed to have some skill IIRC....

I like Rosa....but you can only job for so long...

 

[E-Man]

I like Sheamus going to Smackdown. I think that he could do really well over there feuding with Orton, Bryan in a longer and better feud, and Rhodes. Imagine Cody being the conceited guy he is feuding with Sheamus, Mr. What the Hell is Color? I would like to have seen him and McIntyre go at it since they're both Triple H's guys and from the U.K. Well Sheamus technically isn't from the U.K., but you get the idea.

 

[Saint]

So what is everyone thinking? Christian wins at Extreme Rules to keep the title on Smackdown?

http://www.pwinsider.com/article/574...ame-said-to-As we initially reported last night in the PWInsider.com Elite section, former WWE World champion CM Punk has not signed a new WWE deal and there's been a lot of talk that Punk is looking to exit the company when his deal expires in a few months.
Internally, that possibility has been discussed for some time but during the European tour, discussion of Punk's exit came more and more to the forefront.

According to WWE sources, Punk has been offered a new long-term deal but has balked at signing, citing burnout with being on the road for years and unhappiness with his position in the company over the last year.

As one source pointed out, Punk has been something of an "Iron Man" for the company, working full-time on the road with the exception of his hip injury needing to be rehabbed last year. At the same time, despite delivering with whatever was handed to him creatively, Punk has watched as other talents developed since he debuted ended up pushed as bigger names and treated as more important than Punk, including Miz and Alberto Del Rio.

"When you look at how the company brands it's characters, Punk is never among the top 5-8 names that are promoted or pushed," said the WWE office source. "It's Cena, Orton, Miz, Undertaker, Rey, now Alberto, etc. these days and Punk is sort of floating right under there. He didn't fit into the youth drive a few months back but he's not treated like a top veteran either. He's just there, doing his job and while everyone knows he delivers, he's never really treated like someone who does. He's never dropped the ball but we don't give it to him really, either. He's treated like a guy, but not THE guy. For a driven guy like him who's made wrestling his entire world, it's got to drive him crazy. Now, the excuse will be don't push Punk because he might be leaving, but the reality is the environment and situation is what is probably making him want to leave to begin with. Either it gets fixed or it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, just like it did when Batista walked out."

As is the norm with such situations, a new deal could be struck at any point, but as more and more sources discuss Punk leaving the company as a distinct possibility, time will tell. We'll have more when we get it.

This is horrifying.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

I'm surprised Sheamus's draft wasn't made a bigger deal of.

 

[Superark]

This thread needs a new title. I did not even recognize it at first.

It will be interesting to see if WWE lets CM Punk walk out of the company.

 

[MoPlaYa]

I hope Christian wins at Extreme Rules... He more than deserves the WHC

 

[Specter313]

As far as Punk and his contract status, they did say it's not up until later in the year, and it's only April right now, so there's plenty of time. Also, Punk kinda knows that he holds the cards right now, and he'll go with whatever benefits him the most.

 

[The Sage]

So what is everyone thinking? Christian wins at Extreme Rules to keep the title on Smackdown?

I'd say so. It's the only way to have a world title on Smackdown since none of the participants in the RAW title match were drafted.

I agree about the title.

Punk's feeling burnt out and misused. He wants rest, but I'm sure if WWE gave him a better contract with a strong push, he'd hold out a little longer, or they can make a deal in which he'd take a break for a month and come back.
