That has serious "so bad, it's good" potential.

I love NXT. The lenght of the shows/specials is perfect, the wrestling is good, the storylines are simple, the commenators keep on point. The crowd are also great and look like they are just there to have fun, rather htan trying to ruin the show if things dont go the way they want.

The Zayn V Owen match could have been better, but I think in terms of storlyines its not always about having the best possible match that 2 people could. The Neville v balor match was my favourite and am looking forward to Owens v Balor down the line.

While in isolation NXT is great, you cant forget its a developmental promotion. I enjoy watching Itami, Balor, Owens, Zayn and Neville, but there will be a hell of a lot of competition waiting when they make the jump and the potetnial to be lost in the shuffle.

[DomDom1984]

With it becoming it's own touring brand though, guys are going to spend a LOT of time in NXT. They can't just throw guys up right away or even think about it anymore.

[GodlikeYeezus]

It's sad it really is, these guys aren't going to get the run in WWE they deserve because it's clear Owens and even Zayn aren't the youngest. Instead we are given 'comedy' segments and the New Day. The problem with NXT is you watch it as a developmental show and the stars of NXT don't get the credibility they deserve because a call up to the main show is much more important than the NXT Title. Plus the NXT Title prestige is hurt when you have someone like Bo Dallas holding it for a long time only to find out Bo Dallas is a talentless jobber on the main roster.

I can see Zayn being a great upper midcarder on the main roster with a few IC title runs. Kevin Owens should be a future WWE Champion, he is that good. It will be between him and Balor as to who the biggest success will be out of the current NXT stars. Itami won't cut it, imo. He'll end up back in Japan.

Kofi is every bit as talented as anyone on the nxt roster but wasted. I dont think it is the lower card guys that block their road to success, but the fact there are several young, talented and hungry wrestlers at the level just below main event. It's easy to blame the wwe for wasting talent, but there are only so many ppv slots and people you can push at one time.

I suspect zayn will get a small push and then move down the card. I agree Owens could be a star and the ko gimmick is good. Balors enterance will go down well with the kids and he could be a good mid carder. Itami is talented, but I don't see how he fits the wwe. I wasn't sure about Neville at first, but he could end up being the biggest star of them all.

[DomDom1984]

Sami Zayn is an interesting one. He could end up anywhere from main event to bottom of the card. His insane likeability means that pretty much everyone will get behind him, which in turn might mean a couple of big pushes into the top spot. But at the same time, his entire look is odd and WWE might well decide that it's just not for him.

[GodlikeYeezus]

There's no chance of zayn, balor or Owens not working with the crowds. Neville could struggle to stay relevant and I think Itami could be the ultimate underdog and win mitb or something.

[DomDom1984]

Oh aye, Neville has absolutely no chance of being a big name in WWE. He'll be Evan Bourne level at best.

[GodlikeYeezus]

Think Heyman should say he's for a new client after mania and he will debut at summerslam against hhh or something in a feud between Heyman and authority. Face (Balor) w/Heyman v HHH (everyone will be thinking Owens) his entrance eill instantly get him over

[Andre91]

I don't like the idea of Balor with Heyman for some reason, I think that Owen's would match up better with him. He could be Paul's 'new beast'.

On a separate note, those KO t-shirts would fly out if he was on the main roster.

[GodlikeYeezus]

I just think Owens and Heyman will be too alike to Lesnar and Heyman. Then again is Heyman contracted after mania?

[luckysalt]

I see Crimson worked TNA tapings last night but only xplosion and he lost, I always liked him, felt they fucked up big time when they let him go and his storyline brother Amazing Red, these two should 100% be back on the roster.

[GodlikeYeezus]

Excited to watch the 4-hour Lucha Underground special that aired last night, advise any wrestling fan to watch it. Got a few familiar faces like Del Rio and John Morrison too.

[luckysalt]

Crimson has done some more tapings for TNA and said he was back.

They've also by the looks of it signed Haku/Meng's son to a short deal. He was in WWE before as Camacho [guy who was with Hunico]

And Mason Ryan did a dark match tryout as well.

[luckysalt]

Joe has left TNA.

To be fair, its probably for the best, he's looked unmotivated for a LONG time. He's very stale in TNA, needs a fresh start somewhere. He should go NJPW

[When Jokers Attack]

Yeah I'm glad he has decided to move on from TNA. Aside from some solid matches with Low Ki, he hasn't done anything memorable in ages.

ROH return surely? 15th anniversay show is next month. NJPW would be good for him too.

[DomDom1984]

I just hope people realise he isn't the same utter machine he was 10 years ago if he does go back to ROH.

[The Nal]

[When Jokers Attack]

That wwe 24 documentary is a good watch, would like to see more behind the scenes content like that on the network.

Taker to return on Monday? Mania build begins properly after Fast Lane.

[luckysalt]

It would certainly seem Wyatt's promos can only be directed towards one man doesn't it?

[metallimuse]

It would certainly seem Wyatt's promos can only be directed towards one man doesn't it?

Apparently he did a radio interview the other day & when asked about it he said there is clues within his recent promos & people should dig a little deeper.Think he's talking Shit mind but...

[GodlikeYeezus]

Corporate Kane? and was thinking any NXT superstars in the Andre the giant battle royal, doubt they could fit them in a 15 min match at mania so showcase a few in there instead.
