Kofi revealed that it was Woods, E and his idea to include the racial undertones in the Bryan/Kofi angle leading to WM, and that he was told two weeks after Elimination Chamber that he was replacing KO in the WM Title match and would win the title.

If I don't see Alexa barking like a dog in her underwear for Vince, Baron Corbin dressed as Bray Wyatt having relations with a corpse, and Rollins/Bork doing a JBL/Eddie Guerrero level blade job, I'm gonna call fake news...

Oh, and Maria better give birth to a hand.
Ahhh memories

Amen. I think WWE has the most talented roster ever. Beyond any era. Their usage of this talent is the worst ever. Beyond any era.

Showing my age here. I believe the most talented roster ever had to be 1992 just going by what those wrestlers accomplished in the WWE/WWF and in the old territories. Just look at the talent at the 92 Rumble: Flair, Hogan, Savage, DiBiase, Roberts, young Taker and Michaels, Kerry Von Erich, Bret Hart, Piper, Road Warriors, Tito Santana, and I’m probably forgetting some others. Even WCW had a talented group: Sting, Vader, Rude, Arn Anderson, Foley, Austin, Simmons, Dustin Rhodes, Pillman and Hall.

While the wrestlers today are mostly talented, they lack in other areas that only comes with experience. I’m of the opinion that it takes a wrestler, with the exception of a few, 5-7 years to fully develop, if not longer. The wrestlers in the paragraph above all had the advantage of working different territories honing their wrestling, promo skills and, most importantly, psychology. That psychology, telling a story during the match, looking at the crowd at just the right moment, the way a wrestler sold, has become a lost art.

97-98 WWF was loaded too
Austin, Rock, Bret, HBK, Taker, Kane, Owen, HHH, Shamrock, Foley...I'm sure I'm missing a few but absolutely stacked on the upper half of the card

If you gave Shamrock Paul Heyman in 97 he would have been in the Brock Lesnar spot. Most believable guy in wrestling at the time just needed a mouth piece

Hell I'll throw out there that early 2000's WWE was probably more stacked after most of the top WCW talent came over. It was most of the same guys that you mentioned, but they also had Tajiri, Benoit, Jericho, Mysterio, Guerrero, Orton, Lesnar, Angle, RVD, ect ect ect... although maybe not all at the same time.

That's not even mentioning the guys that WWE never did that much with/wasted in that time period because they were so stacked...Ultimo Dragon, Dean Malenko, Goldberg, Raven...The consolidation of wrestling talent at that level will probably never happen again.

WWE will begin filming promos for their SmackDown on Fox premiere soon, according to PWInsider.
Apparently both RAW and SmackDown Superstars will be used.

FOX sports Latino(?) already has NXT, SD and RAW so....... MAYBE they use some of that for them only.
