NXT Discussion Thread (On FOX8, Kayo and Binge)

Good point. I feel the same about Dream too

Dream definitely another massive star of the future without quite having the reach of Riddle. Need to avoid 50/50 s**t with them and not just feed them to Rains for the sake of it. Waste these two and that really is it for a while far as massive potential break out stars go. Cole and UE will be great but mainly to those already a fan.

2 women's matches on Takeover!

live weekly 2 hour NXT shows to go head to head with AEW? oh, this will not end well.

EDIT: allegedly 1 live, 1 taped is how they might do it.

Not sure I like NXT being 2 hours. NXT UK also an hour earlier in the day too.

It's a bad idea only if Vince McMahon gets involved. He'd quickly shitify NXT.

well if it happens and ratings are poor, we'll end up with lots of main roster talent doing visits.

I think they should be live. If they don't go live, they should only film 2 at a time. The crowds during the last episode of filming are poor and not really engaged with what is happening. In terms of duration, I'd like to see a longer show (probably just 30 minutes would be enough) so some of the fringe and developing talent can get some exposure.

agreed, 90 mins would be fine.

looks like this might be going ahead, either when AEW debuts or just before. too much content.

So so silly. NXT fine how it was. Why do all this making AEW out to be a bigger threat than they are (or need to be)?

Not going to make a difference. A lot of the AEW fanbase are anti WWE or are going to be loyal to it for other reasons.

If Vince takes control then I guess I won't be watching any WWE.

2 hour NXT debuting on Sep 18th, so 2 week head start on AEW.

 

[GWBogan]

Vince may have won the Monday Night Wars, but I don't think he's going to win the Wednesday Night War.

Will become the sixth and seventh hours of Raw and SmackDown.

 

[Deathly]

I imagine Vince was insanely stubborn about all of this, and literally no one else wanted it.

Product suicide.

Why he's even trying to is mystifying. Going to drive himself and his people insane over this. And he has XFL starting soon which will further stuff his decision making.

 

[RossFC]

Now it's official.

 

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

More exposure for the talent. More time for character development and the opportunity to perform live. Plus it’s on demand on the Network from the next day. I can’t see too many negatives.

 

[WA ROO]

Liking Io Shirai

 

[RossFC]

Keith Lee vs Dijak was terrific this week!

 

[TradeDraft]

Now it's official.

So that be on TV here in Australia then?

Not sure

More likely still on WWE Network
