Allegedly he didn�t want to travel, but a few years later he joined AEW and traveled every week with Shawn spears, so who knows.

Ellering has disputed that I think so I think Vince just didn�t want to use him and they immediately realized AOP couldn�t promo well so they course corrected with Maverick

This is a pretty good idea. Like if a month ago midcarders' music would hit and they would no show. Like once or twice a show. And the question becomes where are these people?? Then, yeah, like you said, a camera sneaks it for a glimpse of fight club, and then the next week the cameras are there and it's revealed Shane is running a fight club. And they keep hacking into the Raw feed until after a few months all of the fighters team up Nexus style and burst into Raw and gently caress everything up. I don't know if that's a great storyline, but it would be a GOOD storyline especially during these trying times.

Isn�t that basically how Chikara did it?

Lars - Kalisto
EC3 - Impact
Ricochet - Buried
Adam Cole - Punted
Velveteen - Sex crimes
Dain - ???

How is the guy who got fired and wound up in Impact the one who got off light?

I think Dain you could easily list having his faction broken up, buried and sent back to NXT.

Are there people out there who are actually want to see Rey's large adult son wrestling or is this all to advance Rey's storyline, whatever that is.

This is just to stop Rey from making AEW money

Fightful reports that recent main roster callups are not being given upgraded contracts

Who are they counting as recent call ups? Like are Bianca Belair and Riddle being paid the same or are they just referring to Babatunde and Arturo Ruas being in Shane�s fight club? Because for the latter I could understand them holding back if the concept flails out quick.

NXT, RAW, and Smackdown being identical in presentation really sucks. Hope the move to the stadium Friday helps with this some. I think NXT as a third brand was always a bad idea, they should have stayed developmental and not had major indie or japanese stars go through there.

Yup. There is no logical reason Keith Lee should not be WWE/Universal champion (or in the running for it) right now, especially after his showing at Survivor Series and the Rumble.

That�s my same issue with NXT as well. There�s tons of talent there that should be making up the main roster and were ready before even signing, but they�re either being held in NXT arbitrarily or holding themselves back because they know they don�t fit Vince�s idea of a star.

Ciampa, Gargano, TUE, WALTER, Lee, Ripley, Shirai, etc. are the furthest thing from being �developmental talent�. But if I was them and saw what Vince did to Ricochet, I�d be scared to go up too.

Fair enough, but NXT UK is as good as dead and the one time he got a main roster appearance they immediately jobbed him out in the Survivor Series match.

I know he�s not going to be in the US anytime soon until Covid restrictions go away, but right now he�s pretty much being wasted and getting paid not to wrestle.

I'm actually kinda surprised at how much my interest in NXT has dropped off over the last year. I WENT to Takeover last August, and I can't even be bothered to watch the one from last night.

I�m in the same boat as you. Went to Takeover Toronto, skipped last night�s.

Honestly, the biggest thing that killed NXT for me is that when it moved to USA, NXT could not longer be watched live in Canada even if you have the Network. You can only watch It as a replay a couple days later.

There are nights where I would have been willing to watch NXT if they had a good card, or switch back and forth between it and Dynamite but WWE just decided that viewers in Canada aren�t needed.

They also killed the network app in Canada by making it incompatible with logging in via a cable provider, which is the only way to subscribe to the Network in Canada .

Dave Meltzer also revealed that Xavier Woods missed the first episode of Talking Smack because nobody told him it was happening

Didn�t Woods lose a spot in a Royal Rumble once for the same reason? Nobody told him he was competing.

I�m sorry for all the times I said Keith Lee should be on the main roster. They�ve done it so many times and I never learned. I take it back!

As much as I don�t want to see Brock in AEW I�d be interested in Tony paying for a single appearance flex to boost the brand and make Vince have a coronary
