It's an amazing new degree of laziness; we're not even getting fresh new stars for people, they're just doing the thing they've been doing but on another night of the week, because the show has to be as easy to write for the old man as it possibly can be. I feel like since 2009's guest host stuff most of the scripts for their shows have steadily been more and more like copy paste blocks they can use week by week like "Paul Heyman Brock Promo," or "Seth talks about Rey's family," "Fiend shows up," etc. where they can change as little as possible by CTRL + F'ing it. Kinda like how there will be random weeks where count out finishes are all the rage; or roll-ups. And then they go away the next week. Or the distraction at the top of the aisle... use that finish two-three times in a week span, and then move on to the next set of finishes. |

As Andrade is the only healthy wrestler not drafted, does that mean we could see him in NXT?

Andrade really doesn't have anything to lose at this point, so why not send him back there and turn him face? A storyline between him and Escobar where Escobar keeps trying to recruit him, but Andrade refuses to join, could be good. It'd be like the interesting version of the Ricochet/Hurt Business angle. |

Maybe Charlotte comes back to battle against Alexa, while Andrade gets his manlyhood back fighting The Fiend after losing to Master Angel?

Only if the main roster would also get the awesome Halloween Havoc treatment...  Excited about NXT's one nevertheless, especially Shotzi being the damn host! It might be this year's greatest night!  |

So I decided to do some counting, out of the 60 people that were drafted, 31 were "drafted" (moved from Raw to Raw, Smackdown to Smackdown) and 25 were actually drafted to a different show.

There's a good chance I might like 'em! |

I think that match could've been hurt mostly by Alexa being the heel and Charlotte the face. If the roles were reversed, it may have gone better. |
