WWE NXT & Superstars Thread

Kidd's face?

Interesting. I'd like to see more of him on SD.

Kidd vs. Rhodes feud would be great.

The FCW website roster profiles of Peter Orlov, Calvin Raines, Leroy Parks, and Marcus Owens have been removed from the official Florida Championship Wrestling website.

From a few days ago but hadn't been posted yet. Out of these names the only one that I really know is Peter Orlov (Alex Koslov), in the end his size probably hurt his chances of being promoted to the main roster although he may have been a chance of making the Crusierweight show.

 

[Troy]

I wonder how many of these wrestlers that are normally stuck on Superstars will be released in the next round of firing that normally occurs around WM. Granted WWE don't have a huge roster now so they don't really need to cut too many but I see them dropping a few that haven't worked to open up some gaps for new signings and for FCW stars to be promoted.

 

[Andrew]

I heard WWE are looking at bringing back the Crusierweight or TV Championship to use on Superstars/NXT which will be merged into another show once WWE Network is released.

 

[Troy]

Why have WWE still not brought Reks and Hawkins as a team up to RAW or Smackdown? Surely they can spare ten minutes each week on RAW and Smackdown to promote the tag team division with a match on each show.

 

[Troy]

I read that they were bringing in an actual crusierweight show for the Network, that may save a few of the guys but still they have been around for some time and if they can't get off Superstars then they must be close to being released.

 

[SAIYANS]

NXT and superstars are basically merged now as all the full time Superstars participants in Reks, Hawkins, Kidd, JTG, Trent, Yoshi, and so on appear on NXT every week and have for months. They are even featured in the video opener.

And Troy is right as the report said they were looking to run a cruiserweight only show in Florida and were getting indy talents to work that style.

I like Curtis and has shown some potential. How the hell is he irrelevant? He reminds me of the old CLB gimmick right now being the creepy little bastard. Curtis also has talent in the ring so I'm starting to have faith that he'll rise to the card one day of a main show. People talk about Derrick Bateman having potential but I can't take him seriously. He seems like an over the top goofball and is annoying that hasn't shown much in the ring.

I was actually on the FCW site last night and noticed some of those names weren't there. Here's what they all looked like for anybody that was wondering:


Peter Orlov

Calvin Raines

Leroy Parks

Marcus Owens

To me, Raines had a decent look, same with Orlov. The other two don't look much.

Btw, here's some trivia for you. Marcus Owens is dating the massive 7 foot chick that both WWE and TNA signed then fucked off. True story.

 

[Andrew]

Could have made a Mice & Men gimmick out of Leroy Parks, just have Santino pair with him for the lulz.

 

[Heisenberg]

Isis The Amazon?

 

[Andrew]

That's the one Marcus Owens was dating.

Also, here's another fact...

When Sin Cara was debuting the vignettes of Sin Cara wrestling was actually Peter Orlov.

 

[AZUCAR!]

I've merged the NXT/Superstars & FCW threads all into 1. So all discussion on NXT, Superstars & FCW will go in here from now on.

 

[Defiant]

I actually watched NXT for the first time since "Redemption" started and I now find it to be awesome to watch. Kaitlyn and Derrick Bateman have really improve, and a fucking stunning match between Tyson Kidd and Trent Beretta. Check that one out.

 

[Andrew]

last NXT is by far their best ep yet.

Also, rumors have it Tajiri may return to WWE after his SMASH Company in JAPAN will be shutting down due to disagreements with management. Looks like WWE might bring him back for the Cruiserweight division.
