My favorite Triple H Pet Project was Daniel Bryan's booking in Q4 of 2013

Hey, that's what NXT is for. Isn't it nice that incoming talent have a place they can go to adapt to a style before debuting on the main roster?

p sure NXT is for churning out cartoon characters who job on the main roster

Daniel Bryan, Wade Barrett, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Luke Harper
The Shield is not a thing that existed in NXT prior to its debut on the main roster and are we really counting Bryan and Barrett as NXT callups now?

I agree that they were on a show called NXT that did not serve the same purpose or resemble in any way shape or form its modern incarnation

So WWE assumes that if you haven't been in the WWE then you haven't done nothing, got mad that people actually recognized Ricochet and other trainers talked him up so didn't hire him with the excuse of "oh, we have too many small high flyers"? That's retarded, mainly getting mad that people at the tryout had actually heard of Ricochet.

And secondly, you can never have too many high flyers

...not that they do anything with the ones they have

I thought Ricochet stopped doing a lot of his high flying stuff. I guess he would have to be a high flyer in WWE though since I all the guys are way bigger than him.

He rarely does the double rotation moonsault but he still does all kinds of crazy poo poo

I believe that the Charlotte Flair/Nattie match was the best women's match I have witnessed on WWE television. I would say that the chain wrestling, story and psychology was excellent all around.

Does anyone think that Meltzer will give ratings for those matches?

He will but it'll be a week before the next Observer goes up. He was raving about the women's match on twitter last night (as he should have).

Fair enough, I agree Bryan needs to tone it down and have always hated the headbutt and cringe at a lot of the topes so I wasn't trying to be disagreeable about the general point, just that I have faith Bryan will be alright as long as he's smart.

Bryan's indie career is pretty much filled with instances of working through injuries he didnt need to because he's a crazy person who loves wrestling. He won't quit unless someone makes him. I'm not saying he's Kurt Angle, but I hope he knows he's making enough money that he can afford to take it easy once in a while

They'd have a pretty valid scapegoat by blaming the fact that they're up against Hawks game 7.

Shouldn't affect the live gate because everybody already bought tickets and nobody cares about hockey so it shouldn't affect the buyrates

so hey, I hear the show was actually pretty good? I decided to skip it but it sounds like there were at least two great matches on it so that's not bad considering expectations.

The last couple hours were really good, nothing really standout in the first third of the show.
