WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

A comparison I saw online about the past few weeks, but seems like WWE has been subtly adjusting the crowd lighting.

For the longest while they've been using red or blue lights on the crowd. Seems like recently they've been getting rid of the colours, and if anything, dimming the crowd lights.

Probably another change the new guy is making. I'm indifferent either way, though some some lights if you're in the crowd do go right in your eye and is annoying.

They've also been adjusting the digital barricade. It's more generic/black with the show and wwe logo on it rather than full on graphics. Although in this case, i feel it's done more to "shop" the blank space to advertisers and start doing what the NHL and soccer does with nonstop video ad boards.

If there's one change visually I want them to make, bring back blue ropes for SD, red for Raw, black or themed colours for PLEs.

R-Truth out here rooting on his best friend... The Miz? Truth thinking KO is Miz is hilarious, and loved Wade's comment.



Wade: "If someone told me I looked like The Miz, I'd want to fight them."

Truth should just go around making the most ridiculous comparisons too.

They should do a segment where Truth brings Road Dogg to RAW and when they go to see DX... he brings him to DIY lol.

So are they going to ignore that Bron and Baron Corbin just won the NXT Tag Titles and bring Bron to Smackdown without Corbin? I think it would be better if Corbin also signed to SD and they kept them as a team on the main roster.

If you didn't know if Rock was heel, this parking job confirms it.

I am absolutely here for modern '97-'99 Rock. Only thing better would be his "Do you smell what the rock is cooking?" theme coming back.

Trish showed last year that when done right, legends can come back as heels, The Rock cemented that idea tonight. I'm fully on board with Cody finishing the story and winning but can't say I didn't smile throughout that promo. If he brings out the guitar and starts doing Rock Concerts... oh man.

At this point... as Rock says, it doesn't matter if WWE pivoted, Rock pivoted, whether this was the original storyline or not. At the end of the day we should just sit back and enjoy the ride The Rock is about to take us on because it's going to be a fun one.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Now this is old school Rock!

Everything about that promo felt 100% like Hollywood Rock and it was great. This didn't feel like "Dwayne The Rock Johnson", it felt like The Rock!

That sight to end Smackdown, Rock and The Bloodline together to close the show felt so surreal.

Although...does Rock cost Reigns the match?!?

I marked so f’ing hard for that shirt Rock was wearing. God this is great!

That’s what I came away thinking, Rock and Cody have been in on this all along

Cody said finishing the story means taking everything from Roman.

Taking his title AND having Romans own family turning on him would do just that.

Maybe we do get Rock vs Reigns at SS? They still haven't even announced the location, there has to be a reason? Maybe trying to book a specific venue/city?

Summerslam or Survivor Series? My guess is the reason at the least Summerslam or Wrestlemania 41 hasn't been announced is perhaps they are trying for Miami to do the Rock/Roman match?

Summerslam

The whole summer feels weird. They haven't even announced when tickets go on sale for MITB and the event has been announced for a month now. Now we don't know where Summerslam is either.

Last year it was announced February 7th. Year before it was announced way back in October.

Here we are less than 2 weeks before the end of February and still nothing official or even rumors.

I'd imagine it would be a stadium show, or maybe they're trying for MSG for Survivor Series and if that falls through they do a stadium show in Miami or LA for Summerslam? Survivor Series would be the most fitting event to do a match since both guys debuted at that event, and with it not being a stadium PLE (yet), maybe they do go for MSG? If Rock doesn't end his career at WM, Survivor Series at MSG is probably next best thing.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Finally get Rock back for an actual storyline and you guys are already fantasy booking six months into the future? Take a breath and enjoy what we've got going now.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Rock's promo was hilarious *but* the entire premise is wrong which is very unlike him.

Cody doesn't *want* a rematch. He *earned* it with the Rumble win so like, none of Rock's comments matter. Cody isn't just saying it for the hell of it.

If Rock is gonna be around he needs to change his theme from the super upbeat "modern" version.

But yeah, as said, it felt like Rock the WWE performer back not just a special attraction. Hope it continues.

I thought Rock as ref and he costs Roman but Cody needs to win clean. It was bad enough what happened with the storyline thus far and them just acting like that Smackdown 2 weeks ago didn't happen.
