Finally some good news
I personally think NXT shouldn't have any on-screen already established wrestlers like Nagamuray, Senor Joe, Ay-Dub and so on.
Make it completely developmental, for new wrestlers. The older ones should go straight to the main roster and adapt or fuck off, since they'll spend a few years in NXT that could be spent on the main roster, meaning that by the time they even get there they're already approaching 40 and won't have much left in the tank.
>>1908862
>36
>in developmental
fucking waste
>Right Now
Other wrestlers like Samoa Joe go first
>>1908862
>Source is >le meltz so take it with a grain of salt.
If you think like that than you probably only get your wrestling news from wwe.com
you do know Asuka and Nakamura are there to just shill out network subscriptions, right?
KENTA just needs to go back to NOAH
>>1908862
He was brought in to boost the network subscriptions and popularity of WWE in Japan. They did the same with The Great Khali. Why would they waste him on the main-show where he can barely speak English and casuals aren't going to like him when he could be on the regular network exclusive?
>>1908875
That manlet gook is already injuried again.
Dude just breaks himself all the time, no point in keeping him
Absolutely brutal. Nakamura and Asuka are gonna finish their careers in Full Sail when they're both main event caliber wrestlers.
>>1908884
Both will be in the main roster before summer.
If Nakamura and Joe aren't on the WM card it will be a waste, especially considering how shit last years WM was.
Why keep your best talents in WWE presents TNA?
i love all the virgins in here pretending like aynone give a fuck about this gook when he comes to the main roster
>>1908894
>nxt more of a wasteland than SD
Stop memeing, SD has the WWE World Title, AJ and BMJ.
Raw has Jericho.
>>1908898
And NXT has a decent little tag tournament and jack shit else.
The only real interest anymore is in the Takeovers. Which is why Nakamura won't go the the MR for a while, and is perfectly happy working the shanty town of NXT for a big-time contract: because Takeovers are big events that are immediately available on the network, which is exactly what they're trying to popularize in Japan.
So they have their Jap face to push them.
It's a shame.
well duh
they want to sell network in japland and itami got hurt again they can't bring up nakamura now
>>1908906
Wouldn't having them on pay per views sell the Network in Japan just as well?
>>1908869
>NXT
>developmental
Nah man, it's just smark's wet dreams and Hunter personal ego feeder
He's not ready for main event, this gook will come out to crickets on raw and won't be shocked to speak properly, nxt is a joke, triple h is killing wwe.
There is literally no one on Raw anybody gives a fuck about anymore besides maybe Jericho.
Why not bring people up and see if something sticks? God damn...
Americans don't like chinks, period. Maybe Asuka may have a chance if she's paired with a white wrestler (me love you long time)
It's his turn to headline NXT. Started with Owens to Finn to Joe to Nakamura. They need a draw for their live shows.
>>1909011
I can't call Joe a pillar of NXT since he has started. The feud with Balor did so much more for Finn then it did for Joe.
Joe is your NXT Triple H circa 1999 - 2002. He makes everyone look a million bucks, but he himself on the offence doesn't look like a million bucks.
>>1909011
>Owens to Finn to Nakaura
Neville to Sami to Finn to Nakamura
Owens was a stand-in who got shafted because Sami got injured at an inopportune time, so he had to pass the baton to Baloring.
Joe just ferried it to Nakamura.
Starts with Nev because NevXT is when NXT caught fire.
>>1908862
I heard some shit last month about how they want him in NXT essentially as a benchmark for younger wrestlers
Nakamura has no chance on the main roster if they don't give him a manager, so it makes sense to have him hold up the NXT fort until then.
>>1909030
>Babyface
>Manager
Lol? It's not the 80s anymore kid
>>1909033
Brock Lesnar
>>1909039
>Heyman
Wew lad
>>1909039
>pls boo Goldberg guise
>>1908862
nxt is not developmental anymore. It's to sell the network and essential act as a 3rd brand. They need people to draw. Also nakamoreeh will get buried on raw. Nobody will understand the gimmick and he will come out to a no pop.
So they call up Mojo Rawley and Carmella but not Asuka, Nakamura, or Joe.
What the fucks' your problem WWE
Smart move. The smarks eat up the autistic gook michael jackson routine. Casuals are going to take one look and change the channel.
>>1909254
>what is long term international investment for the network
jesus you all think so small and short term
muh ratings wont matter soon enough and their entire business will revolve around the network so they need to keep their only brand on the network strong especially for international markets
>>1909281
Why won't having them on the pay per views work for that?
>>1908862
>sign him for like 2 million dollars
>leave him in NXT
WWE is fucking retarded. Makes sense for him to come up at this year's Rumble.
>>1909292
The average Raw/Smackdown doesn't air live on the network.
They want to push the network in Japan.
Nakamura is a Japanese star (Asuka is, too)
They're using them to spearhead their encroachment into Japan on a network-exclusive program.
>>1909285
Cause they want NXT to be a third brand that has appeal in international markets so they can do tours and sell the network and what not.
If the brand has no starpower its not particularly viable
>>1909011
The main roster needs draws even worse. Roman, Seth and Dean are flops. Cena's best years are behind him and AJ will never be the top guy.
>>1908862
>>le meltz
Oh okay so some blogger then.
>>1909292
you're another le meltz shiteater if you think he's making that much
>>1908985
Bring Kaientai back as a villainous stable that had Asuka roundhouse kick other wrestlers penises off.
Meanwhile based Ellsworth skips development, get cucked gooks.
>>1908865
>Nagamuray, Senor Joe, Ay-Dub
Do you call them this to seem more like a faggot, or am I missing something?
>>1908862
>36 years old
>Established, proven star
>WWE makes him the main star of their goddamn developmental program
Seems legit. All indications are that these people just are that fucking dumb.
>>1909706
>>Established, proven star
thats why he's on the show thats on the network
>>1909706
You're literally stupid if you don't understand why Nakamura is on NXT at this point.
The only people who seem ready for the main roster are joe, roode and maybe the australian girls
>>1910044
tye could be a babyface to job out for a few months until people get bored of his entrance
aries is ready but nak broke his face
>>1910064
tye is too bland to go up yet.
oh and maybe the revival can come up as well
>>1910075
>tye is too bland to go up yet.
He's 35 he's not going to get any better
You can get a few pops for him, then feed him to Braun
>>1909301
If their PPVs all goddamn suck, it's going to hurt Network buys much more than if the developmental territory is treated as a developmental territory, you retard.
>>1909717
The PPVs are on the Network too, retard. And they are the bigger draw, the world over.
>>1910111
domestically maybe but thats not whats important to them in this context
and its not a developmental brand and you know it
you're so shortsighted its unreal
>>1910116
Saying retard a lot doesn't make you correct, when you graduate highschool maybe you will pick up on that
>>1909706
If nakamura debuted right now he'd be Adam Rose tier. They're going to put him on the raw after mania and hand him a balor push x10
>le meltz
this dude is literally never right
Nakameme and Asuka are only on NXT still because they're big draws for the chinks. They'll both be on the main roster by Wrestlemania. Nakameme will probably debut in the Rumble.
>>1910149
I always hear this, but I've never heard any specific examples. Any reason why people on here hate him so much? Did he lie about major events or something?
>>1910152
ask your friends on reddit
>>1910152
Probably the same guys you see Meltz btfo on twitter, tna fans and the like.
>>1910149
Thats what WWE wants but Japs aren't stupid. They're fans of NJPW because the product is good. They know no matter how good Shinsuke was in Japan, putting him on WWE is just like putting caviar on shit sandwich.
>>1910152
last time i listened to him was like 2 years ago, he spent 6 straight months stringing along this narrative that Daniel Bryan was coming back, per his """"""sources"""""". after that didnt happen and Bryan retired i stopped giving a fuck about le meltz
Joe will be one of the first five entrants into the Rumble.
He will last through Roode and Aries until 29, who will be Nakamura who then eliminates Joe.
>>1909272
>Casuals are going to take one look and change the channel.
He's not Roman Reigns.
>>1909303
>blogger
Meltz had been reporting on wrestling for over 2 decades before that term even existed, junior.
>>1910480
>Implying wrestling isn't white trash entertainment
>>1910489
I thought most WWE fans were Bollys ;)
>>1910149
>nakamura
>a draw
LOL
never drew a fucking dime in his life.
>>1910485
Right, so they will take one look and change the channel because it's not a superstar like Roman Reigns.
>>1910491
The bollys won't save WWE's TV slot
