Nope haven't watched it for a few weeks, they've gotta cut it down to 2 hours or get some new guys up. Especially since cruiserweights are moving to SD for when they're taping its new 1 hour show

USA Network is paying for the 3rd hour, Decision is not Vince's to make.

I said last week. I fast forward it to just know the segments

Why are we supposed to care about the brands? Why are the wrestlers supposed to care about the brands?

I get that we have to suspend reality a lot... but all of a sudden I'm honestly supposed to believe that Bray Wyatt cares more about his blue shirt then he does anything else?

This whole brand vs. brand thing is so dumb.

At least give us stakes of which of course they won't.

JustinVerlander07 · 11-15-2016, 01:43 PM

The last segment and the Goldberg/Lesnar segment were great, everything else stunk. Goldberg has sold his end of the match with Lesnar terrifically. Has me excited to see that match.

Ty Hope · 11-15-2016, 06:27 PM

Vader announced he has less than 2 years left to live.

I've ask this question every time they do this stupid brand split/brand vs brand crap.

A lot of great points..... and once again no real good answers from WWE.

sthoemke · 11-15-2016, 07:39 PM

I don't care for the "competing brands", and all the irreverent crap that comes with it (PPV storylines, etc)

Maybe it is WWE's way of justifying more title belts (more merchandising opportunities?).

I'd rather see Superstars appear on both shows.

mnvikingstwins · 11-15-2016, 08:18 PM

Otunga needs to go. Video game commentary sounds more natural than he does

ce99dj88 · 11-15-2016, 08:29 PM

That was a great match to kick off the show

BoxBreaker72 · 11-15-2016, 10:02 PM

So wait, is Taker back on SD now? That was confusing.

Gurds · 11-15-2016, 10:02 PM

So Orton loses the SS match for Smackdown and that sets up the match with Taker at WM.

CharlieHustle · 11-16-2016, 03:20 AM

Did anybody watch the State Of The WWE Universe episode on the Network?
It's a pretty decent final pitch for Survivor Series, with Shane, Bryan, Steph and Foley going back and forth.
IMO, it could have done without Stephanie doing her paint by numbers heel persona to try to sell the PPV.
There were a couple of work-shoot points made by Bryan and IMO, he got the best of Mick Foley a couple of times because of how on point his WWE history is.
It's only 30 minutes and it's worth a watch if you're even semi interested in Survivor Series.

Nyfancam01 · 11-16-2016, 03:25 AM

Knew Miz would win that back.... because they need sami to go against a Heel when he wins the title... =/ plus they kept showing sami zayn vs EITHER dolph or miz which they usually NEVER do that.

asujbl · 11-16-2016, 09:03 AM

Last night (while entertaining) was part of the reason I gave up WWE like 15 years ago and it took them this long to get me to even dip my toe back in the water...

You're telling me Bayley, of all people, is going to join in on a 5 on 1 beatdown because of the "brand"? You're telling me Carmella, after months of wanting to beat down Nikki, is all of a sudden going to protect her because of the "brand"?. Sasha Banks is just part of the group now? Becky and Bliss are cool for a while? After we watched Alexa yell at Daniel Bryan earlier in the show about their last match?

Same goes for the guys - although they sold it better then Raw where everyone is buddy buddy now - but I'm still supposed to believe that Randy Orton is just going to stand there? That Bray Wyatt is just going to hang around in the back? That Ambrose and Styles really can be teammates?

It's all so dumb.

Ambrose has an enemy in Stephanie McMahon, she's part of the machine that's always went against him. AJ is the WWE Champion, but Raw has basically flipped him the middle finger and shown no respect. Orton's now a follower of Bray, and Bray's mad that Braun has been "corrupted" and left him. Of course they don't mention any of that, which would make sense, since it would give everybody a reason to set aside their differences to take down Raw.

The Bayley thing was horrible. She should have been apprehensive about it, tried to get Sasha to stop, only for Sasha to keep attacking. Push that Bayley is the face on Raw, and won't participate in a 5 on 1 beatdown, and plant the seeds for a Sasha heel turn.

Gurds · 11-16-2016, 12:52 PM

so Styles/Taker is being rumored for the Rumble

88horsepower · 11-16-2016, 03:08 PM

News regarding former WWF star, Vader...

Ty Hope · 11-16-2016, 06:07 PM

It's now to the point where I don't even turn the shows on. I read results and find the few interesting matches or segments on youtube. I can finish a week of wwe in under 20 minutes. It's that bad.

Survivor Series has been dumb since its beginning. I think that is what the PPV is all about. Basically, create a bunch of teams, and interactions, that you would never see otherwise.

Gurds · 11-16-2016, 07:44 PM

Goldberg tweaked his shoulder last night and says his body feels horrible.
