The Official WWE / NXT Discussion Thread *May Contain Spoilers*

Have to say I loved the recap of the HBK and Taker storyline, one of the best ever WWE have done.

 

I agree. The WWE has always done a great job of making you want to watch an upcoming match due to any highlight video. This one didn't stray from that.

 

While we saw HBK and Taker at last year's PPV I have to say that I'm more so excited about this match. Career vs. Streak. Very cool!

Could the WWE be doing any better job at pumping up WWE NXT? Along with that, the hype surrounding Daniel Bryan (had to make myself do that) is being played up great. I've been waiting all week to see what this show is about, I hope it doesnt disappoint.

 

Anyone have any idea on exactly WHAT the show is? Will we see matches? Will it be Tought Enough? Hogan's Celeberity Wrestling? or The Ultimate Fighter?

Seems with NXT coming on, and the batch of Fall cleaning releases that mostly came out of development, WWE is re-loading it seems.

 

Some guys, granted, have been under a deal for a while but have just recentley debut in FCW, like Richie Steamboat and Ray Leppan. But they have now added G-Rilla (a returning former releasee) and Mason Ryan, whoever he is. And of course both of Rikishi's sons are now in FCW thanks to the arrival of Joshua Fatu aka Jules Uso.

Now apparentley there are a couple other guys on their way in. Domino has been at the last batch of shows using his Cliff Compton character, and there are still the unconfirmed signings of Incognito, Barri Griffiths, Jemma Palmer, & Super Nova.

 

Hopefully development can get its next Blue Chip (aka Orton/Batista/Cena/Lesnar) prospect that I simply dont feel they've had in a while. I mean Jack Swagger is pretty darn good, but he's just not clicking right now for some reason, I fully expect him to though. If you dont count the NXT call ups, the only guys in FCW now that really seem to have any chance of achieving success (and granted WWE has a record of pulling no-ones into somewhat useable guys like Kofi) are Joe Hennig, Richie, & maybe someone like Conrad Tanner can get transformed into a great monster/psycho and hopefully become a successful version of Mike Knox/Vance Archer.

 

Conrad Tanner aka Kyle Rassmussen: The new Goldberg?

 

EDIT:

 

Apparently Mason Ryan is simply a clean shaven Barri Griffiths.

It's kinda hard to click like a superstar when you're feuding with Santino Marella and is otherwise just occational jobber to the stars. I wish they'd do more with him, he's one of my favourite WWE workers.

I agree with Rassmussen he could have all the tools to be a huge superstar in the WWE.

Erm.. what about Kaval/Low-Ki? :p

 

he's not going to be a big success. Until WWE changes its style. He'll achieve Tajiri like stardom at best, maybe an IC title run. Same with Evan Bourne.

 

Note: I'd rather watch "WWE Cruiserweights" a new show featuring Bourne, Kaval, Danielson, ext any day but its just not going to happen.

I would def enjoy a WWE brand dedicated to cruiserweights (to replace NXT when it fails) but it would be a waste of WWE's time with those workers unable to consistently main event in the future.

 

Low Ki's "strong style" has always been great and his old TNA matches were awesome he just doesn't fit the WWE's product which is why he hasnt gotten a push after all these years, unfortunately its the same reason alot of hot indy tag teams havent got the WWE call since theyre considered "too small"
