    Paige has to vacate the title, there's no way I can see them having the WWE champ drop her NXT title to someone in a match, unless that someone is someone also on the WWE roster and they use that to start a feud between them.

     

    Rollins and Big E both continued to work NXT after debuting on the main roster, at least long enough to drop the NXT Title.  I could see some kind of Paige/Sasha/Charlotte/Emma-or-Bayley four-way match where Charlotte steals a win.

     

     

    I just don't think it looks good for the holder of main roster's women's title to go and drop her NXT title on a NXT show. 

     

     

    It would be fine if AJ made an appearance distracting Paige, leading her to lose the title to someone.

  2. T^he problem with relegating wrestlers down to nXt is that it automatically undercuts everyone there. People in wrestling have to debut with a bit of a push in order to keep them attractive and interesting, or to establish the wrestler to new viewers. If you do this to guys who are billed as "relegated", you immediately undercut everyone's achievements on nXt. It's okay right now for Neville to go toe to toe with Brodus Clay, because his character is "I'm pissed off and I'm going to go back to my ass kicking roots" but it's not okay for Neville to go toe to toe with Brodus Clay whose character is "this fat jobber couldn't cut it on the main roster so we sent him down" even if that's what they are actually doing. If they start to do it regularly, it won't end up doing favors for anyone. 

     

    Also, does anyone really want to see Corey Graves v. Zack Ryder or CJ Parker v. a face JTG? Terrible. 

     

    It would be more realistic if that was the case though.  In baseball's minor leagues, you have guys on the way up and on the way down.  Have JTG come in acting like he's hot shit because he once teamed with Cena and get upstaged by Sami Zayn or Big Cass.  Or have JTG/Tatsu team up as bitter ex-Cena tag partners.  Have Curt Hawkins come down and try to start an NXT version of Evolution with him in the HHH role.  Let guys reinvent themselves.  Go over the top with it.

     

    Also, JTG, Hawkins, and some of these other guys were already on the endless NXT competition anyways.

     

    And who wouldn't want to see Corey Graves vs. Zack Ryder or CJ Parker vs. JTG?!?

  3. Yeah, I remember Zeke looking really good right up at the end of ECW, but then he really never grew from that, partially because he spent time injured.

    On another note, now that we have probably a bunch of new WWEN subscribers that got it to get WM, do you all think that the WWE will book the next bunch of shows in a way that the biggest show six months from now (slated to be Hell in a Cell) is so intriguing that on-the-fence subscribers re-up? I'm talking to the point of making this show at least as big as Summerslam, if not moreso.

    I'm sure someone here has mentioned this possibility, but it seems like the logical thing to do is to book to when the bulk of your subscribers are trying to decide whether or not to keep the service.

    I think we will see things evolve to where we see big pushes, either for shows or new content, to help retain subscribers.

  4. It seems surreal from the "it's fiction" standpoint, yet it also seems entirely normal from the "sports" part of sports entertainment.  

     

    Is the panel really that different from when commentators would talk about the matches and superstars more (Wrestler X has been training/going back to basics/needs to stop showboating etc...).

     

    I think the closest thing from a fictional standpoint would be something like Marvel's Front Line series during big events or some of the DC Channel 52 stuff, trying to show the wider scope of what's going on.

    I have a morbid fascination with the idea of Gorilla Monsoon being the third man.

    OH BOY BRAIN, THESE FANS CAN STICK IT! In fact they can use the irresistible force of my immovable object to stick it! THEY WENT TO THE WELL ONE TOO MANY TIMES JESS!

     

     

    Okay, I couldn't resist. Now I Photoshopped Monsoon, Heenan, and Ventura as the alternate-universe nWo:

    Dave Attell in the nWo?  I like it.
