THE LIAR
Funnily enough, AJ himself thinks it's important for new guys to go through NXT and not just in a "gotta learn where the hard cam is" way.

I strongly suspect Kenny and the Bucks don't sign with WWE unless they can skip straight to the main roster like AJ did. The Bucks are extremely mercenary (not a criticism) and would almost certainly refuse to take a pay cut and give up on the insane merch money they make to spend a year or two in NXT, plus they've been pretty vocal about not wanting to move their families to Florida. Kenny's close to, if not on the same level that Styles was when he left NJPW, why would he give up his main event spot in the second largest promotion in the world to dick around in developmental? Guys like Cole much closer to the standard indie worker calculus, I'd imagine, although in his case it sounds like the decision is essentially already made.

Matt just bought a new house in cali so Florida is deff not in the books.

Listened to the first ~two hours of Between the Sheets for the first time, because I was curious about the Owen Hart stuff. It was really informative but the guy who reads the Observer and such seems to mumble and talk too fast sometimes. Kind of hard to understand.

The Bucks are also smart and aware enough to assume that they would be booked horribly in an attempt to humble them because WWE creative is petty as hell. I can totally understand why they wouldn't be keen on signing up for such a toxic work environment.

They were already treated like poo poo just for not signing, like I recently mentioned both WWE trying to sue them for using the Too Sweet sign and The Usos throwing "Superkick Parties"

Something that comes up here: How many eps of Raw on WWE Network have substantial differences from the live show? There's one segment on the show covered here that's completely different. Instead of Masked Randy Orton menacing Ric Flair in the background in the locker room after the RVD match, Triple H wanders in to argue with Flair. I presume these were changes for the replays aired internationally (and on Universal HD in the last decade)

How often does WWE do re-shoots, etc? The thing where they aired a Daniel Bryan rehearsal by mistake on Universal HD a couple years ago seemed like it was supposed to be an insert of an alternate take so I'm guessing the answer is "way more often than anyone realizes."

Like Call Me Charlie said, you need to read Martha Hart's book.

I've been wanting to pull stuff from the lawsuit, especially since the deposition transcripts got filed with the court, but I've been hesitant to spend the money (or try to get someone else to). At least partially that's because Kansas City has a system where everything got scanned...but they won't provide digital copies to the public. Parties to the case can access them online, but that's it. Even if I pay (or get Deadspin or someone else to pay), I have to deal with paper, I guess so they can justify the costs.

Didn't it get pulled from the shelves because of legal stuff between the Hart family and WWE (as well as Bret trying to sue Martha)?

Are they any better than the typical episode? I'd really love for them to keep the interesting history and ditch the aggressively unfunny attempts at humor and chat about how WWE doesn't get the satire of trying to bring a sign that says "LINDA IS A MURDERER" on it.

Well, no matter the episode, JP and Jack are huge loving dorks so they're always gonna get derailed and laugh at their own unfunny jokes. But Summerslam 92 has a reading of Diana Hart's insane book about Bulldog which is can't miss (plus their review of the Bret/Bulldog match is awesome) and the NWO Special is great comprehensive history of the rise of fall of NWO followed up with fantasy booking on how maybe just possibly WCW could have not hosed it all up.
