Sky Blue Sam Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 My concern is someone remembering they've still got Booker T or Lawler under contract to do commentary. Is there anyone working in the PC who would be a good commentator, someone who already works with the roster? Brookside's accent would rule him out, trying to remember the other coaches.

Sky Blue Sam Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I think Pearce is moving to work with the main roster. Katz would work, just for the novelty of GQ Money being a regular performer on WWE TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 I can't remember where I said this but I might be repeating myself in this thread On the NXT conference call - HHH said that while the cruiserweights would be working RAW TV there is "no room" for them on RAW House Shows so they will be working NXT House Shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 So they gave RAW 3 picks to Smackdown's 2, which didn't even include the cruiserweights, because one show out of the 4 or so they run a week is longer? Also, this seems to indicate guys like Neville or Sami won't be considered cruiserweights, which I doubt they would be anyways if they keep enforcing the 205 limit.

I feel a lot of good (and bad, so, so, so much bad) could come from Lawler being at the performance center a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 If I see Lawler commentating NXT I'm legit cancelling my subscription. Â Last thing I need to hear is him freak out over Mandy or whoever else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It already sounds like a gimmick instead of them thinking it's something they need to get behind. It feels like the other times they brought in lighter weight guys or the AAA guys or the minis.

Wyld Samurai Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Did they confirm there will be a Dusty Rhodes Classic? They should have that on Smackdown and have the winner be their new tag champs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 That would be amazingly WWE to create a giant trophy and never use it again That being said the Dusty Classic should happen again and if it follows last year - they would start using the next tapings It is the all women's tournament that won't happen this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsem43 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 They need to rebuild the NXT women's division before they have a tournament. It would be interesting if they brought in a few more indy teams for the Dusty Classic. Weren't Gargano/Ciampa the only one last year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Aries & Roode for the Dusty Rhodes Classic! Unless they bring back James Storm.... I also hope to see TM-61 go far in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about that, it may be better than them getting fully dropped in the shark tank. Papa H is gonna keep 'em close is what I'm getting out of this.
