Good shit IMO, although I feel for Deezy for not having USA to watch it. It doesn't really change anything for me, I'll just watch on USA on Wednesdays instead of on the Network, the stream being a day later is kinda meh to me but I can see why USA wouldn't want to go against the same programming on the Network bc I'm sure some fans that have both would pick the Network.

I wasn’t sure how to feel at first but I’ve thought about it, and I’m happy for the talent that will get to showcase themselves on a main stream television network to a wider audience.

This should be good, I’ll try to remain optimistic.

I like that the addition of the second hour can possibly help guys from the main roster rejuvenate their careers potentially without cutting into the time of the regular guys down there.

One thing I'm not looking forward to is that I'm assuming we'll probably get commercial breaks during matches now which was awesome not having when they stopped doing it on the Network like one or two years ago, but they used to do it during NXT anyway so it's not that big of a deal.

I keep kicking myself for not jumping in when the stock was at an all time low in 2014.....if I bought just $100 share....I'd be in the six figures right now.

Wait what? How would buying $100 worth of stock put you in six figures now? That'd only be like 7 shares.

I thought maybe the Canadian stock market was just more friendly :side:

I'm just slightly annoyed that I'll have to begin pirating this as well, instead of streaming it on the Network like I usually would. But then again, I've stopped watching it the day of for the most part too so eh... maybe not.

Here's hoping that Triple H retains all the power he's had over things so far. I consistently enjoy NXT most of any WWE programming so I don't want that being compromised now.

I'm concerned for the two hour format. The one hour format allows for very slow storytelling. A lot of the top stars are not even on the show every week which is good.

Triple H has already stated nothing's changing.....don't know why people automatically assume that it's somehow a sunken ship when one the most successful minds in the entire promotion business is being alleged to take the control.

There's some funky narrative on how Vince McMahon is the reason for everything being bad.....but when aomething works or gets over....he doesn't get any credit.

It's weird.

I'm just interested in how the two-hour format will affect the tapings. I'm not really concerned or excited for two hours, I still expect to enjoy the show about the same.

I'm guessing they're going to tape it weekly instead of monthly......those Impact marathon tapings are brutal for their two hour show.

Yeah I can accept people have concern that the show might be changed up some when they enjoy what it is currently, but I always felt Vince was just an easy blame and people only give a fuck about the bad ideas he's had. It's just became a joke to me though that anything bad is Vince's fault and anything good we thank Heyman, Trips, or Bischoff for...which I admit I do in threads too and some people probably don't think I'm joking
