WWE NXT will invade the Northeast very, very soon.
PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources that NXT has a hold with the 2300 (formerly ECW) Arena in Philadelphia, PA for two dates, Friday 5/15 and Saturday 5/16.
It would only be the second time WWE has run the legendary independent wrestling venue as the inaugural house show from WWE's 2006 revival of ECW was held there, headlined by Rob Van Dam vs. Kurt Angle with Dean Malenko as the guest referee and Tommy Dreamer vs. The Big Show on top.
Around that same time period, WWE also looking into the idea of purchasing the historic venue with the idea of converting it into a permanent training center and home for the new ECW, although that idea never got past the initial talking stages.
The timing of the NXT shows would make the Arena the capital for professional wrestling that week as New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor are running the venue on Tuesday 5/12 and Wednesday 5/13. The Wednesday event is already sold out and the Tuesday event is well on it's way.
Triple H announced during a media conference call prior to the WWE NXT Takeover Rival special on the WWE Network that he intended to take NXT and make it a regular touring brand following it's incredible success with live events in Ohio that sold out almost immediately with no promotion beyond social media.

Has it ever been confirmed that WWE has footage of the fall that didn't air?
Can't we get that through a Freedom of Information Act request? I'm guessing it would have been evidence in the Martha Hart case.

Heyman, RVD, Joey Styles, Dudley Boyz whenever they come back from TNA
Possibly Dreamer since he's always been on good terms with WWE. Sabu would be more of a longshot.

I actually liked that match.
-
I know a bunch of his work came in Japan, but for better or worse, Sabu did a bunch of revolutionary things that meant a lot to a lot of people.
It's a shame he never got a WCW or WWE deal sooner. By the time WWE signed him in 2006 he was 42.
-
Rey Jr. does probably deserve more mention than he's gotten (although I guess he only gets about half the decade as U.S. based) because he was so god damn good.
Mostly unrelated, but how amazing is it that WWE is having this insanely all-time great in-ring year WITHOUT Rey?
When was the last time Rey was "great"?
Jericho feud, so...2009
