no nitro's and thunders yet. hoping they add those in the future.
There's Nitros from 95 to 96 on the network, you gotta search for the 95 ones for some reason.

and Yes Triple H is the main booker for WWE NXT, A Writer usually comes up with the stuff though with some help from Dusty Rhodes (Who works at the performance center as a trainer that mainly focuses on promo work. ). I do hear that Triple H does usually approves whatever the writer suggests.

Commentary is great, it rotates but Rich Brennan is the main PBP guy, the two color commentators are usually rotating a 5 person team of Bryon Saxton, Renee Young, Jason Albert (A-Train, Albert, Tensai, etc.), Corey Graves (NXT Star that took too many hits to the head and was forced to retire), and Alex Riley.

Funny enough, one of the producers on the show is Micheal Cole and he's usually the guy speaking into the commentators' headsets.

WWE Network for the low low price of $9.99 and Paul Levesque (Triple H) runs NXT. If he can transfer what he's got going down there up to the big leagues whenever Vince is out of the picture, WWE will be much better than it is now.

It won't ever transfer to the big leagues, WWE doesn't want and can't have a wrestling show on the flagship time slot, it has to be a 3 hour commercial with commercials for them to make money.

That's only the first problem with doing that too. WWE getting NXT on actual television would gain everyone on the show popularity, even the guys they don't chose to bring up. That basically gift wraps guys that are already somewhat known to TNA and ROH once they release them. WWE tries to act like other wrestling companies don't matter to them, and the guys that don't make it probably wouldn't do too much damage to them, but it's still helping the other companies out which they have no interest in doing.

I was curious about the last few years nitro was on the air. When Russo and Ferrara went there and ran wcw into the ground.

Speaking of TNA guys, Samoa Joe? He's a free agent now.

It would be nice if they had Samoa Joe come in and destroy the Uso's, but with kayfabe dead they would need to set it up in a way that acknowledges that he left TNA and that TNA is in fact a company, which would never happen.

Just do it the old-fashioned way and say "He's destroyed people all over the world, and now he's here!"
That always used to work, although it's a really old approach. For people that know his story, they know anyway. For the rest, it sounds more legitimate (unless, of course, they're making it up).

Just came here to say the same exact thing. I don't think WWE is going to go after him though, mainly because they seem to try and avoid taking people who are fresh out of TNA, which is one of a couple reasons AJ Styles isn't mixing it up on NXT right now. Things are a little different though now with WWE pushing NXT harder than before, so I guess anything is possible.

A.J. Styles has stated he doesn't want to wrestle for the WWE. He wouldn't come even if the WWE were interested.

I wonder if that means he really doesn't want to, or they didn't want him.
I don't know either way. I remember his statement, and it struck me that there might be another side to it. But, that's only coming from a guy with a keyboard and literally nothing to back it up.

They did kinda sorta just do that very thing with Sting.

How imaginative. Another week of Kane and Big Show bailing out Seth Rollins and Seth Rollins thinking he's all hard because of it.

Kane/Big Show/Rollins vs Ryback/Rowan/Ziggler has been confirmed for Fast Lane.

I just want to say, the Golddust promo and then Stardust interrupting on the TV was great. This could be a great feud.

I've seen ads for the Raw Des Moines taping all over Mediacom now. We're like a month out.
They really want a full house. I'm guessing they're going to have the dark match too? Could be fun if they keep Big Show and Kane out as the legal men.
