also presence is cool and all, but if you can't get that across on TV, in the ring, on the mic...

Well Vince is the one who picks what goes on, so he gets the blame. They might be some amazing stuff being written but if Vince doesn't like it...

You can promote this NXT guy or push that guy a bit, but at the end of the day, Roman has been pushed for over a year now, and it's been a colossal failure and Vince needs to admit that. That's one of the most important things. And then they have to review why it failed, was it preventable etc because it could just happen again.

Anyway if they do that, I think this could actually be the time to cash in on the "anyone can win the Royal Rumble" chip. Sami Zayn plz

Give the belt to Lesnar, and lets watch Sami Zayn the triumphant Rumble winner and the ultimate underdog as he gets suplexed 50x and still somehow, someway, manages to win. Or lose even. It doesn't matter. It'll be better.

Longer term, it seems to me that Sami and Roman are on a collision course. Wherever Sami goes, he's the biggest, most beloved babyface going. If the Ole chants come across to WWE it could be Daniel Bryan mk ii

yeah. a lot just assumed he'd be up full time when he returned from injury, so hopefully this just a conditioning stint or something

Not going to happen.

Unless something really drastic happens viewers are either going to have to get used to nobody else on the roster mattering, or go and watch a different promotion.

I love Sami Zayn as much as the next guy, but he will never get the full support of the machine behind him whilst the old man is calling the shots. Nor will anybody whose name isn't Cena or Reigns.

It's why I don't want to see any of the NXT guys end up on the main roster anymore. They'll just be lost in the shuffle, used stupidly, and end up being ruined like the endless list of other guys who the E have had a chance to do something with, but for whatever reason totally failed to do so. I'd rather just keep watching them on NXT where the programming is interesting and actually based around good storylines and good wrestling, as opposed to seeing them on RAW, where good story lines do not exist, and wrestling is ancillary to stupid comedy skits and pop culture references.

I mean, KO isn't lost in the shuffle, Breeze seems to be getting a promising push. We may deride the women's division but it's a hell of a lot better now than it was. Bo and Neville? They're still treated a lot better than the other non-NXT mid or lower card guys.

Acsencion are probably the biggest one, but TBH I never rated them

I record NXT each week and try to watch it. Don't always watch Raw and hardly ever watch the other shows. It really is what I love most right now.

I don't agree though Sledger. The main roster needs new talent. Just imagine if Benoit and Guerrero remained NXT names. Smackdown and Raw breakup actually helped in this regard that time though. Raw had the big heads while wrestlers managed to prosper on smackdown. Maybe NXT can develop as a stronger brand slowly.. I don't know what the solution is.

Well it comes for almost free when I consider the sports package is around a dollar a month for various sports channels. And that includes raw smackdown etc.

Oh boy, yeah imagine what things would be like if those two guys never made it out of NXT...

And anyway, NXT is not just another brand. People need to stop calling it that.

Anyone been watching Breaking Ground? Love Apollo's work ethic. He has as great look and his athleticism is so impressive, be amazed if he doesn't become a star on the main roster. Bayley also comes across great, a real leader for the women in the NXT locker room. Really enjoying the show, one of the best original shows on the Network.

Zack Ryder's dislike for Mojo Rawley also hilarious. Mojo thinks they're great pals and Ryder can't stand him and just wants to be popular and on the main roster again. It's brilliant.

Why ZZ's still there I don't know. Clearly not going to cut it. Felt sad for Cal Bishop though, really wanted him to succeed!
