WWE NXT & Superstars Thread

[SAIYANS]

Watch Titus going heel in part 1. He tickles me about Hornswoggle. "I've been here 46 weeks, 46 weeks, doing stupid challenges and getting meaningless redemption points. And they even gave me a leprechaun for a pro. I taught him how to talk, and do you know what he did? He waddled his fat little ass off to SD without me. The hell with all of you"

Why does Titus O'neil think he's a seal?

FCW Names Removed From Roster
Jinder Mahal, Johnny Curtis and Ricardo Rodriguez have been removed from the FCW roster page. They all now exclusively are appearing at WWE shows.

I hope Ricardo gets to become a wrestler on WWE tv soon.

Doesn't look good for Reks and Hawkins if they can't even beat the comedy odd couple of Santino and Mason Ryan on Superstars.

Have Reks and Hawkins even wrestled on RAW or Smackdown as a tag team yet?

 

[Troy]

Was it 100 episodes just for this season of NXT because it feels like it has been going that long.

Titus O'Neill, Darren Young and Derrick Bateman should be annoyed that they have been stuck on the show for so long. It would be so demoralising knowing that you aren't ever going to move forward.

 

[Troy]

I really don't think he needs to wrestle anytime soon. He can continue in his ring announcing role and then maybe move into a managerial role rather than heading into the ring.

I read that Cole buried Titus during his promo too so that's probably worth a watch.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

I watched NXT and I was pretty entertained. The tag match was pretty good with Reks hitting his cool finisher. O'Neill's heel turn was one of the worst I've ever seen, it sucked. Cole had every right to bury that promo, it was pathetic. The wedding was pretty awful too with Striker failing as Elvis. Striker is the man, but he totally failed at being Elvis. I'm also liking Curtis character of being a CLB. He's this strange creepy guy, but he's awesome at it. I think he's the true blue chipper, not Derrick Bateman who is pretty lame. I may start tuning into NXT more, its pretty good.

It is better to be on ECW than Superstars, ROH, FCW, or Impact is how I think you have to look at it. NXT is the most viewed thing on their site and broadcast in millions of homes. They make good money. They get weekly mic time to improve. They get to work in front of thousands. They are taken on the road with the main roster. Thy get paid main roster money over that of developmental after spending 6 months on the main roster. From a literal standpoint, they should be happy with NXT Redemption as opposed to the alternatives. The only way the situation would have been better is if the Network was lAunched and they were given the Wednesday showcase slot for live action like has been rumored.

"don't sit over there and say ooohhhhhhhhhhh hellllllll noooooooooo, ohhhhhh hellllllllllllll yes."



you would think after 46 weeks, you'll learn to cut a promo - best line cole has done in years

True it is better than those other options but I would have thought that after so much training on NXT that WWE would be able to tell if they are ready for the main roster. If they aren't then they should be released because they have had basically a year of live training and if they aren't ready after that then they will never be ready.

I do think that they are just stalling for the Network debut but I see them starting a new season for the Network season to freshen it all up.

 

[SAIYANS]

I see them using it as the third brand and network exclusive personally, not a show. They referred to Striker as a gm multiple times. They said the challenges, eliminations, and redemption points are meaningless multiple times. Everyone has their own videos and music now, and a new intro highlighting the roster that is used weekly. And they have multiple guys claiming they run NXT like an unofficial champ. To me they are just waiting to make it official when the network kicks off.

I see them getting a belt and being a brand all of its own for the network since they promised live in ring action. I also expect FCW to air as they taped 2 or 3 pilots for it.

NXT will become ECW basically without the same title, and FCW will be NXT IMO as we see rookies grow and develop in a more intimate setting.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

What's wrong with Ricardo doing his job well for now until he gets a bigger opening in his field? I think he has a better chance having his own Heenan Family in WWE than being a successful wrestler.

Update On Ambrose & Rollins WWE Status
Top FCW stars Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose have impressed WWE officials according to F4Wonline.com and the report claims they both have spots on the main roster but have not been called up yet.

The reason they haven't been called up is Triple H has said that he wants no new talents brought up from FCW unless the creative team has a solid storyline for them to debut with and a strong gimmick. Officials are very high on Ambrose and while they feel that Rollins has some areas to work on, he's considered right up there with Ambrose.

Can't wait to see those two debut and good choice by HHH to do that, no point bringing them up if they won't have a proper storyline to work with and just end up being on superstars each week where they shouldn't be.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

What kind of gimmick could they really give Tyler Black? He's as bland as bland can get.
