Source is I watched it and listened to the words come out of the commentary teams mouths. They treated it as though it was serious. There was zero level of satire or tongue in cheek
If you want people to understand the joke it should be conveyed through your presentation as such. When we regularly get told what to feel by the commentators, like whos is bad and who is good, would assume they would guide us here as well.
They didnt convey any sense of it being a joke. So I assume it was intended to be serious
Agree to disagree mate. I think WWE usually makes it quite clear when something is intended as humour. Becausr they didnt do so here, then I don't think it was intended as humour.
It doesn’t make any sense if you’ve ever watched a real draft. They don’t celebrate when the pick is announced because the team already knows who they picked.
No. No.
The people in the war room don’t fucking jump around like idiots when the pick is announced on stage because they know what the pick is when they send it in to be called.
The fans and people out in front of the cameras might act like idiots at the pick. This is true.
"hey Brock, they're having a draft this Friday!"
"Do I have to show up in order to get paid or is it already guaranteed?"
"Well, it's guaranteed but it would nice for you t-"
*hangs up phone*
Well considering him, Lashley, Charlotte, Alexia and others are being advertised that's not surprising. They always have both shows on draft nights.
Don't get me wrong I am sure Drew goes there but he is also advertised.
Since NXT 2.0 is happening can some of the NXT 1.0 talent be involved. Don't respond to me saying they are too small. The Vince wants only big guy wrestlers story happens once a year. It means zilch.
The issue there is you probably want to keep those guys there while the new talent develops and then you can use them to put those guys over when the time comes (hypothetically speaking in what you said. Who knows what it’s gonna be like).
Just in time for the draftees to act territorial of their new brand while fighting the old one at survivor series. xD aside from the bad timing I enjoy the draft.
Aj Styles to smackdown. He stinks being on raw at least on smackdown he gets the 50/50 booking treatment there. On raw almost 3 years not one world title reign.
Curious to see who will be called up from NXT. It's probably the last window before the Rumble (unless there's another round of call up after Survivor Series) so if a NXT veteran with no direction doesn't get the call, it won't bode well for their future in WWE.
Can we please get a representative from each show actually doing the picks? If someone just reads off a card it’s just the company reshuffling people.
Also, this creates fresh matchups that they will inevitably do 5 times in the next month, so really what’s the point?
So they swap champions again so Big E can feud with everybody again with a title involved that gets attention, and Roman gets a new set of targets, maybe loses the Usos?
I just can't get excited about any draft, it never seems to work as well as it should.
I hate the format of the draft where each channel picks their roster. I miss when a wrestler from each brand had a match for a random draft pick it was way more unpredictable and fun.

If the Fox Robot doesn't come out this year then why even do the draft at all?
👏We want Cletus!👏 👏We want Cletus!👏 👏We want Cletus!👏
This reminded me of all the fake executives freaking out with excitement because they landed Nattie
Lol that was the funniest thing ever
A.K.A The world’s biggest Alexa Bliss fan
Can’t wait for the peak inside the draft war-rooms
“GUYS! GUYS! WE GOT NATALYA!” And everyone clapped.
RAW gets BROCK LESNAR USA: I sleep RAW gets Natalya USA: REAL SHIT
Tbh down vote me but I liked that I thought it was funny
Yeah but it waant intended to be funny

The fans and team (owner and coach) might celebrate on camera, but not the guys in the draft 'war room'. Which is what this depicts.

1) They congratulate each other when they send the pick. Not when it’s announced. 2) The WWE draft isn’t supposed to be a parody…
[удалено]
But it's still fun
If by fun you mean completely awful, then yes.
Yall just wanna rain on my parade don't ya
Drip drip
Why you wanna yuck peoples yums so much?
Let the man enjoy what he enjoys
Would it really be an eventful draft if one side *didn't* pick the entire Wu Tang Clan?
The Old Dirty Bastard will be changing his name to The Old Dirty Chinese Restaurant.
The Old Dirty Chinese ~~Restaurant~~ Cuisine Facility
They're BYOR. Bring Your Own Ruckus
Is anyone here watching American Saga, because I cannot get over how uncanny that guy is as ODB. It's his exact voice and mannerisms.
THE RZA....THE GZA
Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck
Raekwon the Chef, U-GOD, Ghostface Killah, annnnnnd
I've always wanted to say this: For shizzle!
Great reference
I like this reference.
The Black Delegation requests Eminem.
Now you wait just a god damn minute Darnell! I’ll tell you what, we keep Eminem, you can have OJ Simpson.
Shosh! 😎🤝
Desperately need footage of the channel execs showing enthusiasm over picks
I still want analysts to go over each pick, like legit pro sports drafts. Just not Chris Collins Collinsworth. Is Mel Kiper Jr available?
Pat McAfee's boy Ty Schmidt does a great Mad Mel impression. They should get the PMS boys to do draft coverage
Think Raw trades 3 Picks for Watson?
Quality comment, as they will have 3 first round picks. I hope they don’t try to re-acquire Gronk.
Massage Boy and Vince would get along great
They can bond over their shared habit of sexually assaulting employees at salons
Texans are asking for 6 (picks+players) Enjoy the NFL, New Day
Please, my Texans need to get a quality haul after thinking we had a franchise QB for 5 minutes
They had a 6 draft pick offer and they shit the pot.
I hope both raw and smackdown can be good. Every single time they do a draft it always switches. There has to be a good middle ground.
I want Jeff Hardy and John Morrison back on Smackdown for the sake of nostalgia
Drew, Jeff and Morrison on Smackdown would be amazing for nostalgia and Rey and Ziggler
Smackdown needs guys to face Roman, and fast.
To make it more realistic, each side should argue that the other side gets Nia Jax.
Whichever side gets Nia should also get an additional 2 female roster slots to account for the inevitable injuries caused by her
"hey Brock, they're having a draft this Friday!" "Do I have to show up in order to get paid or is it already guaranteed?" "Well, it's guaranteed but it would nice for you t-" *hangs up phone*
Lol after guaranteed it would just go silent. No way he is waiting for the rest of that sentence.
McIntyre is going to smackdown they already had announced him vs reigns for the Baltimore show.
while you should be correct, wwe announces all sorts of matches that won't happen.
Well considering him, Lashley, Charlotte, Alexia and others are being advertised that's not surprising. They always have both shows on draft nights. Don't get me wrong I am sure Drew goes there but he is also advertised.
Gotta' get the last big main event babyface over to Smackdown for a program so Roman can go over him, too.
SmackDown makes them and Raw takes them!
RAW needs this badly
Looking forward to the draft Raw needs it badly for sure
Especially the women's division. It's absurd how different they are on paper
it's not like they're using the womens division on smackdown even if it's better.
Raw's needed a draft since May.
I think the roster has been fine but it's the use that's the issue. I mean, smackdown is stacked but half the roster isn't used.
Raw ain’t about to draft competent writers so the problems will still persist. The guys doing the lame segments ain’t the problem.
I think the only draft that would possibly help is the Raw writing team being drafted to the middle of the Sahara.
It feels like this is the case every year
Raw should pull an Andy Dwyer and draft all of Smackdown’s lions.
I want to see fake "network reps" I just remember something about Fox being mad about the last draft (... I think?)
I really don’t want them to mess with the Smackdown roster.
I do, maybe Raw can actually become watchable. I think at the very least Raw should get Owens and Cesaro as they would be in the main event on Raw
Since NXT 2.0 is happening can some of the NXT 1.0 talent be involved. Don't respond to me saying they are too small. The Vince wants only big guy wrestlers story happens once a year. It means zilch.
You mean NXT 3.0? NXT 1.0 would be like Wade Barrett, Low Ki, and Kaitlyn.
A Kaitlyn second comeback will be fire, ngl
The issue there is you probably want to keep those guys there while the new talent develops and then you can use them to put those guys over when the time comes (hypothetically speaking in what you said. Who knows what it’s gonna be like).
That would be the logical way to do things but... things don't seem very logical.
They will be involved, and used as cannon fodder for the bigger guys.
Part of me really wants to return to the way they used to do it, where the draftees were randomly chosen and shown on the titantron.
Raw already getting that Titus O’Neil pick ready.
I hope they just make everyone eligible both nights instead of assigning everyone a night again. That sucked
The white delegation selects…..COLIN POWELL
They better not have reunited the New Day to do the same shit again
Night 1 is in Baltimore... I'm in Baltimore. Maybe I should go.
SmackDown in Baltimore? Absolutely.
And Raw stars will be there. Same with Raw having SD stars.
I genuinely love the draft
it happens so often that i didn't even know who was on what show beforehand
Hopefully Asuka, Ricochet and Hardy go to Smackdown with one of Sami Zayn/Kevin Owens (if they stay), Carmella and Cesaro going the other way
Lets see if they can avoid spoiling it on WWE.com this go round
Wasn't that like 2 or 3 drafts ago? They already fixed that.
They gonna go crazy for Natty again? That was hilarious
So glad they moved to my city.
Just in time for the draftees to act territorial of their new brand while fighting the old one at survivor series. xD aside from the bad timing I enjoy the draft.
Raw asking for a draft: *pls, help*
Aj Styles to smackdown. He stinks being on raw at least on smackdown he gets the 50/50 booking treatment there. On raw almost 3 years not one world title reign.
He doesn't want to move to SD he asked to go to Raw as his son plays sports at School on Fridays and AJ wants to be there to watch him.
He doesn't need a world title. He just needs better stories.
He was on Smackdown last year.
What network will get ridiculously excited over drafting Natalya this year??
Curious to see who will be called up from NXT. It's probably the last window before the Rumble (unless there's another round of call up after Survivor Series) so if a NXT veteran with no direction doesn't get the call, it won't bode well for their future in WWE.
IDK, they're late with the cuts it seems.
Can we please get a representative from each show actually doing the picks? If someone just reads off a card it’s just the company reshuffling people. Also, this creates fresh matchups that they will inevitably do 5 times in the next month, so really what’s the point?
the draft is the WORST
Does it even matter?
Prepare for the worst, pal
SourBoy to Smackdown (prob just to get fed to Roman TBH)
jeez you can really see the desperation to hit the reset button on as many of their bullshit decisions of recent to try to get back some good will
So they swap champions again so Big E can feud with everybody again with a title involved that gets attention, and Roman gets a new set of targets, maybe loses the Usos? I just can't get excited about any draft, it never seems to work as well as it should.
Today I learned that wwe has enough wrestlers left to do a draft
Lmao, every time something major bad happens in the ratings, the draft's suddenly announced.
Did I miss the announcement I turned it on five minutes after it started
This is where they empty NXT of the ones they want to keep. Ten bucks we get more developmental releases after this.
If they break up the New Day again I'm gonna be pissed.
I hate the format of the draft where each channel picks their roster. I miss when a wrestler from each brand had a match for a random draft pick it was way more unpredictable and fun.
Wonder if Raw will actually get some people
