Smark Out Moment

Do you have a question that you want to ask the minds over at Smark Out Moment? Our version of the WWE Inbox is the Smark Out Moment Mailbag. Once a month, we set aside some time to answer any of the questions on your mind, whether they be wrestling related, trivia to try to stump us, or just general questions to get to know Tony Mango and the other members of the team better.

Here are your submissions for this month:


Question: "Hey, Drew. We are two wrestlers from swarthy, hot-blooded, food-loving cultures. Wanna go into a tag team together?"

Answer: Silent Wind of Drew?

Question: "Jericho never won the briefcase, but if you could go back in time and have him win one, which past winner would you have him replace?"

Answer: Very good question; I'd love to see more of these in the future, guys, so take note! As far as my answer goes, I'd say the first time CM Punk won it (2008). He cashed it in on Edge and immediately went into a shitty feud with JBL, but that was at a time that Jericho started doing his feud with Shawn Michaels, which was great. He could have ridden that momentum with HBK into a title feud as well and maybe we could have even seen Michaels as champion again, too.

Question: "If Money in the Bank existed since the company's existence, name a few of the briefcase holder/champion pairs you most wish could have happened."

Answer: Ted DiBiase would HAVE to have won it at some point. Shawn Michaels would have, for sure. I feel like this would be tailor made for Owen Hart to cash in on Bret at some point. Triple H definitely would have won it, too.


Question: "Do you think that someone will ever break the longest reigning intercontinental 414 days held by honkey tonk man or United States 523 days held by lex Luger broke if so by who?"

Answer: Both of those title reigns are so long for an individual that I don't think anyone will break them for a long, long time. There was a lot of potential for John Cena to do that with the United States belt, although I think that portion of his career is done with now that the brand split is happening.

Question: "Do you think New Day will break the record for longest reigning tag team champions or be split up the draft?"

Answer: I really hope so, as they only need to really retain just past Battleground, so why not keep the belts on them just to have that record? The Wyatt Family doesn't need to be champions.

Question: "Which tag teams can you see WWE splitting up in the draft?"

Answer: I hope none of them do, honestly. We need more tag teams if the rosters are going to be fully split, not less. If any teams split, I think The Social Outcasts are the most in danger.

Question: "If we get a second world champion who would you want it to be the first champion?"

Answer: AJ Styles makes the most sense to me right now.

Question: "Who do you think will commentate raw and smackdown after the draft?"

Answer: I'm thinking Raw will probably have Michael Cole, JBL and Byron Saxton and SmackDown will have Mauro Ranallo at the head with the two others being some combination of Jerry Lawler, Corey Graves, Tom Phillips, David Otunga or Byron Saxton.

Question: "Do you Stephanie and Shane will be GM's or someone else like Daniel Bryan pops into my mind for some reason? Kurt angle sting Paul Heyman also in mind"

Answer: With the way they keep showing every former person as incompetent, I think it will be split between Stephanie and Shane.

Question: "Who's your #1 draft pick for the wwe draft?"

Answer: Before the suspension, I would have said Roman Reigns. Now, it's Dean Ambrose or Seth Rollins.

Question: "Do you think the draft will be both hours of smackdown?"

Answer: Definitely. It may even go longer than that and have a supplemental draft on the WWE Network or something.

Question: "Where will the part timers end up in the draft the rock , triple h, the undertaker and Brock lenser?"

Answer: Lesnar on Raw, The Rock probably won't be a factor, same with The Undertaker, and Triple H depends on where Stephanie ends up.

Question: "Who gets drafted first Zack Ryder or Roman Reigns?"

Answer: Roman Reigns still would get drafted first even though he wouldn't be there.

Question: "Is the smack talk post ppv moving to twitch or any thoughts about that?"

Answer: Nope, Smack Talk is my own thing so it's staying on YouTube. Some things might be changing soon, though, as far as how the show is structured.

Question: "Who's your favorite (not your character) and least favorite in paden's wwe 2k16? Who do you think is most over? Who do you think Drew will lose the belt to?"

Answer: I'm pretty partial to Cocknose, who I think is probably the fan favorite at the moment. George Hudson is cool, too. Drew's character will end up losing to someone like Dark Balor at this rate.

Question: "Did you know Brie Bella is still on the wwe roster page on the app?"

Answer: Weird. Maybe they've just not realized they should take her off yet.

Question: "Do you know if total divas/Bella's contract are wwe contracts? Is that the reason Tyson Kidd can't be cut? Also is rosa protected because of her maturity leave?"

Answer: I'd have to imagine they're some kind of joint contract between the E! network and WWE.

Question: "How do you think miz and maryse, rusev and Lana and dean Ambrose and Rene young will be on total divas?"

Answer: I don't expect Rusev or Dean Ambrose to be on it much, but I think all of the others will end up being great additions, particularly Maryse.

Question: "What do you think of swerved season 2 and camp wwe?"

Answer: Season 2 of Swerved wasn't as good as the first one. I liked it better when they pranked each other rather than the fans. Camp WWE has its moments, but overall, I'm not too impressed and I wouldn't be upset if there wasn't another season. I still want another Legends House instead.

Question: "Buying, watching at friends or not watching Brock lenser ufc July 9th?"

Answer: Definitely watching at a friend's house.

Question: "Did wwe think before they announced the draft? Yes they combat Tna, but coaches off the top rope and total divas are in the second hour? Do you think e and sports center will let them change that?"

Answer: I think they were told by USA to do something to make sure SmackDown got better ratings and they thought the draft was the best way to do that, without thinking about any of the logistics. E! might end up moving Total Divas to another night, or they could just think that the audience that watches that might not actually watch SmackDown and be okay with it being competition. Then again, they could think people will DVR the show and not worry either. Coachman's show will stay where it is, for sure.

Question: "Should raw and smackdown both be two hours?"

Answer: Definitely. Raw at three hours is too brutal if you tack another two hours onto the weekly schedule.

Question: "Do you think wwe lets ryback's contract expire or bring him back? If if he leaves why the hell do you think it took them so long?"

Answer: They're letting his contract expire for sure. There's probably a benefit on their end to not release him, most likely monetarily.
