nofuture 4,364 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Looks like NXT is going the UFC route and doing an interim champ. Also from the Bump, Pete Dunne is also stuck in the UK so they haven't decided what to do about the tag titles moving forward yet. Link to post Share on other sites

That’s true, so I guess they’ll probably wait out whatever they taped, or maybe they shot an angle to explain her eventual disappearance.

Casey 8,924 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 FWIW Meltzer says he spoke to someone in NXT who would know about Rhea's situation, and they denied it. But who knows. Link to post Share on other sites

Dolfan in NYC 17,736 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Malcolm is going to be managing the challenger for the Universal Championship at Wrestlemania '22 (and if Vince bothers to look at an NXT tape in the next 9 months, 2021). Link to post Share on other sites

nofuture 4,364 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 If we're going continuous time on the NXT roster, Kona Reeves started in 2014 so he's the new PC Taker. Link to post Share on other sites

AxB 13,351 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Allegedly, there are more aspiring/actual Wrestlers under contract to WWE and assigned to the Performance Centre, than there are lockers IN the Performance Centre. So I can't imagine the stockpiling of talent was actually the original idea. I mean, if they were actually releasing a ton of people every April like they used to, it would make sense to be signing so many, because talent would be cycling through.

RIPPA 34,717 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I originally put this in the 205 Live thread because I forgot it was technically a NXT Title The format for the interim cruiserweight championship is a mini G1 (or basically any other Japan tournament) Quote Now, the format for that tournament has been revealed. WWE.com has confirmed the following: -Eight Superstars will be split into two groups of four. -Superstars will compete against each of the three other members of their group. -The Superstar with the best record in each group will advance to the championship match. -Any ties will be broken by head-to-head record. -The winner of Group A will face the winner of Group B to determine the new Interim NXT Cruiserweight Champion. Participants announced tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites
RunningFromAmerica 1,529 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 The weird thing about 205 is that Drew Gulak's vision pretty much won. You see more top-rope action in Watts-era WCW. Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Fowler 15,487 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Finally a major U.S. company does a tournament Japan style... And it's for the least notable belt outside the U.K. brand, during a pandemic. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

EVA 6,093 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Poor Kushida. Left NJPW, in part, because it was clear they were never going to move him out of the Junior division...comes to America and gets tossed into an even less respected junior division. *shrug* 1 Link to post Share on other sites

nofuture 4,364 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Block B has been announced. A bit surprising they're debuting El Hijo del Fantasma this way since he's been wrestling maskless under his real name on the Coconut Loop. Link to post Share on other sites

Pete 17,522 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 That's a really tight little tournament. Loving the round-robin format and pleasantly surprised that HDF gets to keep his mask. He's a hell of a talent who speaks perfect English- that alone will get him far here. Link to post Share on other sites
