Apparently NXT UK managed to recently outdraw NXT in terms of attendance despite it being just as ignored as 205 Live is by WWE.

Full Sail usually holds somewhere around 400 for tapings while NXT UK's recent set of tapings drew around 600 according to this week's Observer Newsletter.

So...this is a thing...

I enjoyed that.

What a mess. Looks like Anvil was fucked up maybe... IDK.

Maybe? lol

Neidhardt tapped very quietly and quickly while in a bad angle, he ref said ring the bell, nobody did and then he just starts saying "ring the bell" again.

Neidhardt did tap though.

Yeah at 7:08 he taps but the ref fucks it up

WHO...... THE FUCK... IS RYAN CABRERA?

Neidhart was also a rotund sack of shit at this point. The flexibility of a brick

It appears that Bryan Clark was arrested on Narcotics charges.

Insert Kronik joke here.

No he wasnt.

But at this point...

He was.

Wow, I thought he and Bryan Adams were both dead.

Seems Triple H's promise of pay raises for all of NXT's talent due to the money coming in from USA Network ended up being a lie. Some of the bigger names got a bump in pay but not everyone if Taynara Conti's departure is any indication.

She's notable for being the first person to have a NXT tv segment that outdrew AEW's Dynamite in terms of viewership and even had it become a wrestling meme for a while.

Buddy Murphy is the latest member of the shortened name club.

Shortened to Buddy or Murphy?

Murphy.

So WWE spent the whole week hyping Goldberg’s appearance on Smackdown this week and his appearance just ended up him being “live, via satellite” for like 30 seconds. That’s incredible.

Once you’re a carny, you’re a carny 4 life.

good they let bray do most the talking

The worst part was Bray interrupted hima minute in with his acceptance of the challenge in a clearly pretape segment meaning he knew what Goldberg was going to say live ahead of time.

Its bad enough when it happens with the wrestler in the ring but it's even dumber this way

Only in y'alls dreams Ha!

Don't flatter yourself, pumpkins.

According to Fightful, seems not everyone in NXT was fond of the new money and/or terms being offered by WWE for new deals. Also not everyone was offered new money which was something Squared Circle Sirens mentioned a while ago in regards to the backstage mood at NXT not being in high spirits.

Taynara Conti being among those who were unhappy leading to her recent departure.

Being speculated everyone that's been given a push or tv time signed the new deals and people who had their tv time cut or were suddenly pulled from tv did not.

He's gonna kill himself or someone in the front row one of these times.

Is that a wrestler

According to Meltzer, no one got a raise, talent was unhappy and Vince was going to be more hands-on. The stories about NXT are skewered to make them appear as heels.

That's Yuka Sakazaki who showed up on AEW Dynamite last week for some impromptu dental work.

Yuka Sakazaki.

Dash Wilders Twitter got deleted.
Scott Dawson is still on.
