There was a "draft" the other day and the stars go on that show?Essentially yes, and it was pretty ridiculous. Fox owns one show. USA the other. So stars are "exclusive" to that show.Some crossover at pay-per-views and maybe for some titles (woman's tag belts are one I believe)
There is Raw and Smackdown which I thought were two separate things or aren't they?They are. You can add NXT as well. (AEW too if you want). All different shows with "exclusive" talent.
Do the wrestlers now only go to that show and no other areas? This sounds silly to me...They are assigned to their specific show, but travel pretty extensively. When people get bored, they'll have another "draft" probably.
Is there a Champ belt for each of the shows since the wrestlers seem attached only to that now?Yes. Raw has the Universal Champion - Smackdown has the WWE Championship. Etc. Lots of titles.This link is easier than me typing. https://www.wwe.com/titlehistory/wwe-championshipSo there is 5 HWC belts instead of 1? Is it becoming boxing?
Not quite...but there are a lot of belts...just got to generate that interest....see also the 24/7 title.But there are a lot of MMA people showing up, and Tyson Fury too I guess.My brief two cents. Feel free to add or correct folks.
This is tough to follow. Chris Jericho is a singer but Sting is still around, that dude has to be 60 years old now?
Glad you guys are enjoying it though.0 -

OK, I watched AEW the other night. The talent for some wasn't that great but I guess that is to be expected? Actually it was "private party" that was piss poor talent wise and the Freshly Squeezed/Best Friends thing was a little odd.
Found out that Dusty Rhodes' kid Cody is a part of this. I loved the American Dream so I'll give Cody a shot.
He will be wrestling Chris Jericho which should be good.
Not sure how long this will last?0 -
