Paid Members PunkStep Posted December 8, 2013 Paid Members Posted December 8, 2013 I like the fact that certain guys don't wrestle for a few weeks as it makes it a big deal when they appear. Absolutely, takes me back to the old WWF Superstars years. Ooh Bossman is wrestling next week, must catch that. In WWE today we get everyone at least once a week. We're spoiled and the wrestlers are overexposed.
History of Wrestling Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Does anyone know when Neville vs. Zayn airs/aired? Not sure if I've missed it.
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 It was on maybe last week? I just downloaded the match to my HDD.
Socrates Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Does anyone know when Neville vs. Zayn airs/aired? Not sure if I've missed it. The number 1 contenders match was last week. So last NXT of November.

We're spoiled and the wrestlers are overexposed. Indeed, it's one of the main reasons why I enjoy watching NXT over RAW and Smackdown. I think it would be very interesting if they applied the same approach to RAW, just to see if it made a difference to the ratings.
CavemanLynn Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 I don't think it would carry over to Raw, as they've kinda pigeonholed themselves by conditioning the audience over the past decades to expect Raw to be the big premier wrestling show of the week, both live and broadcast. I could see it working for Smackdown though. It's prerecorded so the shows could accommodate lots of quick matches, and still leave lots of room for vignettes, recorded backstage angles, etc. Some smart Raw booking could drop some good Gs to keep up Smackdown attendance ("I can't wait a week for my title shot. I'll see you at Smackdown, champ!", etc etc). Smackdown needs a format change to properly differentiate itself from Raw anyway.
Angle_fan Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 What a great programme NXT is. I've just started watching it the last 3/4 weeks. I really like it. The Acension seem ok, Aiden English could be a mega star and Alexander Rousev looks promising. I don't know why I didn't start watching sooner really. No TNA star should consider going to NXT as a step down these days either.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted December 19, 2013 Moderators Posted December 19, 2013 Davey Richards is now Derek Billington. Fucks sake. I assume they put the kibosh on his original idea of Clive Benoit.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 19, 2013 Paid Members Posted December 19, 2013 Its so strange seeing the NXT roster these days. You have Richards, Pac and Generico at the same tapings. Its like a DVD from 2008 some trader sold to you because you heard it was quite good and you want to fit in. Its hard to imagine WWE ever taking a look at these years ago. They've got quite a broad hiring process these days. It wont shock me who they bring in now.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted December 19, 2013 Moderators Posted December 19, 2013 Pepper Parks is currently trying out! Odds on Mike Rapada and Reckless Youth?
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 19, 2013 Paid Members Posted December 19, 2013 I've heard Homeless Jimmy is being brought in for 2 weeks to see if he's as good as WOW Magazine was paid to say he was.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted December 19, 2013 Moderators Posted December 19, 2013 The Shooter Tony Jones might just get that contract after all.
dopper Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Jones needs some more work, but Modest's ready.
Paid Members mim731 Posted December 19, 2013 Paid Members Posted December 19, 2013 Hopefully he's put on some mass and got something more flattering to his upper body.
