gonna try to ask this in the non annoying way as possible but

Did they really HAVE to have the SD GM already be on both show?

I would say yes but you'll have the opposite question when I say why...bc the Raw GM was already on SmackDown Friday so he was only matching lol

 

[Chris]

Sees to be a tad more subtle than usual WarGames build going though its still pretty on the nose

yeah I guess I don't like that much either (mostly don't like it THIS soon) but I should also just accept that the brand split don't mean squat. Wargames build is acceptable though and at least it's for a story. I'd have personally built up tension on my own show first but it ain't my rodeo

 

[Chris]

Yeah basically Pearce showed up on SD like he always has and Aldis had him kicked out bc he's in charge now, that was first

 

[Chris]

I think HHH likes drafts even less than Vince did, but he still did it for the rating, his issue is he won't just drop it so he tries to work in reasons anytime he breaks rules which is better but some of the reasons are lol

 

[Chris]

The two GMs will probably just result in even more of those loopholes than before

I can appreciate this part though for sure

Oh lmao Pearce told Aldis he could stick around and watch the snow and now Aldis is just recruiting all the Raw talent
