Spanky is back? I can't say I'm too excited by this. I've never been able to get past the horrible Spanky gimmick. But maybe he'll have the chance to have great matches and change my mind. But right now, like Rhyno, I am not interested.

I really like Brian Kendrick. I know one of the things that was against him was that he smoked weed and didn't really care who knew it. I wonder how that has changed?

I can't remember if I've commented on this before. I want to say I have, but I don't remember any conversation about it, so I'll mention again...

NXT appeals to the indy crowd, more so than the general WWE brand. And I am guessing that the NXT fanbase is heavier on the indy fans than the people that watch Raw every week, so it doesn't seem like an issue. But I can't help but wonder how much Kevin Owens would be hated if his current push happened on the main roster. Think about it. His name was never even heard of on NXT before. We saw a few vignettes, he had literally 1 match, and then he was in the NXT Title picture. He was NXT Champion within 2 months of his debut. Like I said, this show appeals to mostly indy fans and I'm sure these guys have been following Kevin for years and are happy with his success. But could you imagine the reaction if this happened on the main roster? I still remember when people hated Brock Lesnar because he was pushed too fast...and he wasn't even pushed this fast.

It would depend on the guy. If it was a big name already established that just signed with the WWE like when Jericho or maybe Sting or someone like that then they would have a better chance of getting away with it. Also, if its a new guy, he has to have the total package (not Lex Luger) I mean in ring skills, promo skills and charisma. Most guys that get hated on in the WWE when this happens lack something major. And its why they eventually fail and settle into the midcard.

Rhyno and The Brian Kendrick have both been added to WWE.com's NXT roster page. :tu:

If one were to purchase the WWE network, could one watch NXT from the beginning? How far back does it go?

No, they don't have older episodes of NXT on the Network. Only a few weeks prior to the Network launch. February 5, 2014 is the oldest episode they have. I don't know why they don't add the archives, since I'm assuming they are all taped.

That sucks. How is a new subscriber suppose to catch up or even know what is going on?

Well, it's easy to know what's going on. The current storylines don't got back too far. If you watched the current archives, you'll be up to date. But it's the history behind it that we're missing out on.

I've heard NXT is on hulu plus. I wonder how deep their archives are.

I think all of the older episodes of NXT are on Hulu Plus. That's where I used to watch the show from time to time, anyway.

An account that appears to be the real account of former WWE developmental talent Richie Steamboat, son of WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Steamboat, has recent tweets calling out NXT Champion Kevin Owens and praising Seth Rollins, seen below.

Steamboat hasn't wrestled since October 2012 due to back issues that were believed to be career-ending. It was reported back in 2013 that Steamboat was released by WWE but that report was shot down and PWInsider recently speculated that he could still be signed.

We've reached out to get confirmation on Steamboat's status with the company as well as the tweets and will keep you updated. Below are the tweets:

"When I get back to @WWENXT and I'm fully healthy I'm coming for the World Championship...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED...Mr. @FightOwensFight ..."

"Very proud of @WWERollins . He's came a long way in this company from starting at the good ole FCW to NXT and now to WWE. Proud of him."

I'm the opposite. I have always disliked Alex Riley. He is especially horrendous at the announcer's table. If getting back in the ring gets him away from the announcer's table, then it's a good move. Because while he may be getting something resembling of a push at the moment, he sucks in the ring as well so his push will not go on too long. It won't be too much longer before he is gone off my TV again. And that is a very good thing.

I also thought that he was terrible as an NXT commentator, but I've always enjoyed his in-ring work.

NXT Champion Kevin Owens underwent a partial meniscectomy for a knee injury late last week, WWE.com has learned.

“I’m not the kind of person that lets things like this get in my way,” the NXT Champion told WWE.com following his surgery. “I’m already walking around without crutches and doing physical therapy at the WWE Performance Center.”

For those worried the injury might affect Owens’ highly physical style, he was quick to put any doubts to rest.

“Now that I’m at the level I am now, and with as much at stake as there is, I don’t think it’s going to slow me down. I’m on the way back.”


NXT tapes weeks in advance, so maybe there's nothing to worry about.

I really hope Alex Riley's time under the lights is over. Disappear like Rhyno and Brian Kendrick did. Grown men shouldn't be crying because they had a wrestling match. Fuck, go away.

KO vs Balor next week? I honestly expected that at the next Network special. But I guess we'll get Zayn vs KO again, which is good. But I kind of wanted them to stretch the story out longer. Have KO vs Baylor and then have Zayn return at that match. I guess that could happen next week. I don't read spoilers, so I don't know.

Is Enzo the new Road Dogg? I knew Enzo's entrance was over at Full Sail, but it seemed just as over on the road. Hell, even I get swept up in it sometimes. And you can't teach that!

If Triple H is serious about making NXT a brand and not a developmental area, then I hope they add one more title to the ranks. They need a (men) single's title that is below the NXT Title. Hideo, Balor, Kalisto, or even Breeze could be this mid card champion. And then you got rumors of Joe and ROH talent coming in after WrestleMania. They can't have everyone going for the NXT Title.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE placed a hold on the 2300 Arena (the old ECW Arena) in Philadephia to run NXT live events on 5/15 and 5/16. However, nothing was confirmed and a local MMA promotion seems to have swooped in and reserved the space for 5/15. There's no news yet on whether WWE still has plans to host a show the second day.
If there's an NXT show at the ECW Arena, I'll be buying a ticket ASAP.

I forgot where I read this and can't find it anywhere else. Maybe someone else has heard something about it and can help me out. But I remember reading that the working plan is to basically have NXT replace SmackDown by the end of the year. I think it would still be called SmackDown (not giving in on that record), but it would basically completely be NXT. Has anyone else read this?

Or maybe I can't find it now because yesterday was April 1 and that was just an April Fool's article I read? :ponder:

If that was the rumor, it would cause such an uproar. I haven't heard a peep :lol:

I'm assuming it was just an April Fool's gag.

According to PWInsider.com, top WWE NXT star Hideo Itami is out of action with a bad shoulder injury.

As of now, Itami is scheduled to compete in a triple threat match against Tyler Breeze and Finn Balor at the upcoming Takeover special, however it is expected Itami will be pulled from the match as he is likely to be out of action for 6-8 months.

Itami, along with NXT stars Alex Riley and Sami Zayn, have all suffered recent injuries, and as noted Riley’s will require surgery.

Sami Zayn's shoulder injury is speculated to be serious (though just rumor) according to this week's Observer. No idea what they will do if he isn't able to compete. Maybe put Balor vs. Itami. vs. Breeze on first and have the winner face Owens?

Better to have him come out and "work" a match, but just get decimated by KO instead? KO did promise that this time would be worse than last time. I'm sure Zayn could sell a beating without having to use his shoulder.
