Ricochet's theme sounds like music that you'd hear after the end of a Marvel movie. Probably what they were going for

Just as big of a screwup as keeping Bobby Roode face. She's 100% heel

Ok how do you guys feel about doing the draft on September 2nd? I would have it slotted at
1 PM PST.
Also with 25$ buy in I was thinking we do first and 2nd place get paid. First place gets 250 and 2nd gets their money back plus 25 so a total of 50.
@ihust1e do you still want out? Does anyone want to take his place? Let me know ASAP so I can send out the invite.
Once we get all that settled I’ll start accepting dues so we can get things going.
Works for me

Trips & Co having a problem with Dreams attire is ridiculous. Let the artists be creative, got damn. 9/10 any wrestler with a buzz will have it diminished when they get to the main roster by the 'creative team' anyways so if they bomb trying to be different before then, let them.

2018 WWE SummerSlam matches
WWE Championship -- AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe: The match fans have been waiting for is finally official with Styles and Joe -- two former TNA stars -- going head-to-head for the WWE title on one of the company's grandest stages of the year. This should be fantastic.
Universal Championship -- Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns: Lesnar will defend his title for the first time since April 27 against Reigns, who beat Bobby Lashley just a couple weeks after losing to Lashley at Extreme Rules. With Lesnar looking toward competing in UFC, it will be interesting to see whether he drops the championship at this event or perhaps the next night on Raw.
Raw Women's Championship -- Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Ronda Rousey: The payoff for a months-long feud that began when Bliss cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase during Rousey's title match against Nia Jax, this may be a massive moment for Rousey and the WWE women's division.
SmackDown Women's Championship -- Carmella (c) vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte: WWE did an admirable job building a winning streak that made Lynch whole again after so long of being second and third fiddle on the blue brand. After defeating Carmella, Lynch earned herself a title opportunity and should be able to cash it in now that James Ellsworth is fired and unable to interfere. Now Flair has been added to the match -- also after beating Carmella clean -- somewhat upsetting Lynch as her odds have decreased.
Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz: It has come as no surprise to see this years-long feud heated up in a major way on the path to SummerSlam. It is now official, and a tremendous package on the go-home show added even more juice.
Intercontinental Championship -- Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Seth Rollins: It looked like Balor might get the opportunity, but it will be Rollins getting yet another rematch against Ziggler after pinning him in a tag team match on Raw. With Drew McIntyre in Ziggler's corner, Rollins had been outnumbered ... until Dean Ambrose showed up on Monday.
United States Championship -- Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. Jeff Hardy: This match was announced on Twitter after weeks of Nakamura terrorizing Hardy. However, another man who has terrorized Hardy even more as of late is Randy Orton, so you have to wonder whether he eventually gets involved.
Money in the Bank Briefcase -- Braun Strowman (h) vs. Kevin Owens: Raw general manager Stephanie McMahon made this match with Strowman putting his briefcase on the line against Owens after the latter earned a victory in a steel cage match at Extreme Rules. Owens can also win the briefcase via disqualification or countout.
SmackDown Tag Team Championship -- Bludgeon Brothers (c) vs. New Day: A tag team tournament was held to determine the No. 1 contenders, and New Day took it after defeating The Bar in a fantastic match.
Finn Balor vs. Baron Corbin: This feud is somehow still continuing, and with it even 1-1, the rubber match will officially go down at SummerSlam. Hopefully Balor can take it and move on to bigger and better things.
Raw Tag Team Championship -- The B-Team (c) vs. The Revival (Kickoff Show): The B-Team just recently retained their titles in a triple threat match on Raw. Now Revival gets their own opportunity at the championships.
Cruiserweight Championship -- Cedric Alexander (c) vs. Drew Gulak (Kickoff Show): Alexander has been virtually unstoppable as the top man on 205 Live, and his next challenge comes in the form of submission specialist Drew Gulak. Since 205 Live has been rebooted under Triple H, Gulak's character transformation has been incredible to watch, and this should be a solid title bout in Brooklyn.
Andrade "Cien" Almas & Zelina Vega vs. Rusev & Lana (Kickoff Show): This one has been building over the last couple weeks on SmackDown with Almas and Vega getting clean wins over their counterparts. It would make sense for Aiden English to again get involved, continuing his storyline with Rusev.
Some big names that will not be on the card: Asuka, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Bobby Roode, Nia Jax, The Bar or The Usos, among others.

Hey, when you tell someone to stop doing something, you better be ready to be ABLE to stop them from doing it.

RE: Trish vs. Bliss
Is Evolution REALLY doing ANYTHING differently than what WM does?
They clearly don't trust the current crop of talent to headline the shows, so bring in a part-timer. (Not saying it is right or wrong; it is what it is)

This is what Seth Rollins was talking about. How are they ever going to gain that trust if WWE never lets them? They book the current people terribly then wonder why they always gotta rely on part timers that benefited from being in different eras

The BRAND sells, I honestly don't think the headliner matters that much.
At WrestleMania, you can put Road Dogg vs. PS Hayes and it will still sell-out.
I wonder if former NXT Folks just vent to HHH about these issues and he says, "I got you, wait a few more years."

it's about trying to bring back the casuals. smarks going to watch and complain regardless, but if they can bring in a couple more eyeballs, it is a win...and hope they stick around to follow the current crop of talent
i got drawn back to wrestling because of the part-time return of the rock when he was feuding with cena
mania was never about the hardcore fans who follow the product closely
