Ideally that would be the best but WWE has been trying for months to get FOX to bite on a tv deal for the brand even if FOX isn't as interested and has zero interest if its not live on Fridays.

WWE could easily solve 205 Live's crowd woes if they just taped it before SmackDown but Vince has been way too stubborn on the "Live" aspect of the brand's name.

HE'LL YEAH

So this happened off the air...

Sheesh

I don’t watch much NXT anymore because it just makes me sad knowing the endgame is either shitty WWE booking or endless “developmental”.

That being said, Keith Lee is a fucking star waiting to be made.

Haven't seen too much of him.... last I saw of him I was wondering how someone who tells people to "bask in his glory" was a face..... is he still doing that? Is he still a face?

Yes and he's fantastic!

It airing on USA makes it way less developmental than it ever was.

He just needed to Pedigree him.

If you haven't seen this match and want to see wrestling presented as a sport, please watch. This is five stars.

By the way, I'm actually excited to watch NXT tonight. Probably because I know I am going to get something really good. I never feel that way about Raw or Smackdown. (I refuse to call it Smackdown!, It's Smackdown. because it sucks.)

Jesus christ, what an entrance, hopping up the steps with steam shooting out the "jetpack". :rofl::rofl::rofl:

It's alleged Vince actually wanted him to be launched from the floor over the ropes into the ring, but it was pointed out it would be a safety hazard and cost a shit ton for some cobbled together jet pack.

Weird. Atlas had a tryout at the PC in December and didn't get an offer. It's amazing how quickly the atmosphere has shifted.

Who's that champ I see? Rhetorical question, because they all know the answer is KEITH LEE

Looks like NXT UK also got affected by the upcoming Wednesday Night War and WWE's new tv contracts.

Will be moving from Wednesdays at 3PM EST to now Thursdays at 3PM EST on the Network starting next week.

AEW's official website is second rate. It doesn't look as refined as WWE's. Same goes for their graphics department.

Likely a mix of them still being understaffed in certain areas and whoever they have currently in charge of that stuff has not been doing a good job.

If there is one area where WWE usually excels very well in doing, its graphics and video-based stuff. Live production can be hit-or-miss but their graphics and pre-taped stuff work are usually top notch.

I want to say they've had a lot of time to perfect the process but they've consistently put out quality productions. Even with Jericho's floating IC title and Mick Foley's floating referee head.

The PAC vs Hangman graphic just doesn't seem right. There's way too much going on.

Luger was doing the "sweating just by talking" promo long before Shane it would seem.

I'll never be sure of Hunter's motives but the community aspect that he's created around the NXT brand is PrettyCool.

Dale, you peenless bastard!

I normally skip past your posts, so I apologize

But are you blind?

I mean who gives a shit Dave? You're such a bitch. Shutup.

Why not just delete your post now Vito has done it Dave.

Go on, you delete all the others.

That is pretty sweet

According to the Observer, ROH recently gave a big offer to Matt Taven to keep him in the company and its rumored to be around 3 times the amount of what upper tier NXT talent make.

Between that and recent comments made by ROH's COO, the company isn't getting out of their mess or decline any time soon.

Not everyone is a peenless bastard like you who tosses around their own shit during distress, Dale. Rules are there for a reason.

According to the Observer, 205 Live's move to Fridays is only meant to be a temporary thing until WWE actually makes an official decision on the brand's future.

I am still hoping for a merger. While the performers are putting out quality matches, the show is dying a death in front of the larger crowds. It's only to the determinant of the cruiserweights.

Seems WWE's upcoming move to FOX is already taking a bit of a hit. Both DISH and Sling recently dropped FOX and its associated networks a week before SmackDown debut on FOX. Only bright side was not all of FOX's main network stations were dropped from DISH at least for the time being.
