    Now, if Moose makes a Rumble cameo this year, there's a variety of takes one could have about that (depth, ethics, etc)

    It wouldn't shock me if they just decide in the next 3 weeks to bring Strowman back for at least a Rumble cameo or a new contract on the Jimmy Wang Yang principle of Vince not realizing he fired Strowman somehow.

    I’m not entirely sure how or why they didn’t hire Moose at some point over the last 3-4 years.  Even in his RoH days I assumed he would end up in WWE.

    in regards to point 2, the thought did occur to me that Vince’s knowledge of the releases in the last 6 months might be minimal.

    From Vince / Nick Khans point of view, looking at it from purely business view, they will think “did old NXT uncover a Rock, Cena, Lesnar level talent? No. Was it costing a lot to run? Yes.” So the recent decisions do make sense.

    FCW produced more “Vince friendly” talent than NXT ever did, OVW before that was probably the best developmental system they had in terms of producing main roster guys and was also a great TV show under Cornette.  They were getting far better  suited talent for far less money under the old developmental system.

    Now there’s an argument that certain talents were prohibited from becoming megastars once they hit the main roster, while strictly not NXT’s fault, they still lost sight that main roster WWE serves one master (and whoever has his ear on that particular day) and he likes what he likes.

    As someone mentioned before, once Nick Khan finds the NXT UK spreadsheet I’d expect the whole lot to be purged.  Always felt it was a Regal pet project in a way.

    Things I’m looking forward to this year

    WWE - Hopefully an upturn in booking especially for Raw, possibly HHH returning to the scene creatively, some new faces, Brock & Lashley causing carnage.

    AEW - Wardlows eventual turn.  Great matches all around

    Others - GCW continuing to kill it, NXT finding itself again even if it’s different, Impact continuing to be its own weird universe and MLW signing everyone else’s outcasts and running through TV deals like it’s nobody’s business.

    She basically says that if they had more creative, shy talent wouldn’t have to try to come up with their own ideas to get noticed. And the only ones that have issues like that, are the ones people in charge want to do something with in the first place.

    Like probably the shy ones who aren’t the creative types, but do have booking behind them are Jungle Boy, and Dante. Those guys got over on performance more than anything.

    Changed days when wrestlers are saying they need more creative!

    Maybe I’ve listened to the old guard complaining about too much creative for too long!

    Twitter is the single worst thing to happen to the world. Literally amplified peoples worst traits.  

    TK should have put his phone down and walked away, I would guess most people realise AEW does have a very diverse roster, especially the womens division, and most people would have went “well I feel bad Swole isn’t there, but I don’t think she’s 100% correct on that point”

    Also Sammy picked a great time to post this

     

    Talk about burying bad news!
