True, plus he'll cut a promo on someone he isn't in a program with and get even more heel heat. I remember one time on Nitro, freak was on the headset and he shot on Torrie Wilson and her acne problem. My other all time fav, was when the crowd chanted "Scott Steiner Sucks," he responded with "No your mother sucks. YOUR MOTHER SUCKS!"
Please, Vince, Brock Lesnar vs. D-Bagtista/Swagger at Wrestlemania XXX:NYC. Hopefully, Swagger is a consistent Main Eventer by then.

Now that I've thought about it, the people without cable probably aren't wrestling fans anyway. Maybe I'm just naive, but I think most people without cable are senior citizens. I could be wrong. I don't see the move really hurting Smackdown's ratings in any way.Originally Posted by 4wrestling

Wow shocker. Its 2010 you would think more fools had cable.
Blame yuku.
Exactly. If Raw can score 3.0s consistently this isn't going to be a problem at all. Speaking of Raw I loved The Hoff as the guest host. I think he's done one of the best non-wrestling celebrity jobs on Raw through out this guest host concept.Originally Posted by hombrelobo

The initial report is the show will stay on Friday nights. What a mistake.
The PWInsider.com website reported today that WWE NXT will be canceled off SyFy when Smackdown moves to the network this fall. While that report is accurate, I was told this morning that WWE NXT will likely finish after the first "season" of the show concludes in mid-June. It's unknown at this point what is going to happen from the end of June until Smackdown moves to the network, but it is possible there will not be any WWE programming on the network for those months.
WWE officials are high up on the NXT concept and if they are unable to find a network to pick up the series there is talk within the company about incorporating the series into either Raw or Smackdown, much like what the company did with their Tough Enough reality series when it lost its TV deal with MTV.
According to sources, WWE has had preliminary discussions with the Bravo cable network, which is also part of the NBC Universal family (along with USA Network & SyFy.) There's also the possibility of airing the show on WWE.com.
The cancellation of WWE NXT comes as no surprise as officials from both WWE and SyFy were disappointed with the numbers ECW was doing which is what created the NXT concept. Several weeks in, the series has actually done lower ratings than ECW, which ended up being the writing on the wall.
On an unrelated note, Iwhen Hoff said "Jackie Swagger" yesterday...right up there with Jeff Harvey and Kofi Johnson.
N&N if I have time later on today...
You depress me.
I could see that gimmick potentially working. However, I think you always need to look at the long term, especially with guys who the WWE obviously has bigger plans for like Dibiase Jr. Does turning him into a bratty kid really help to elevate him to main event status? My initial guess would be no.Originally Posted by TheWindScar31

But I agree with you, can't be million $ man Jr.
if he is going to do this. I'd say go the spoiled kid heel route where he isn't the new million $ man per se, but more of some bratty kid riding his daddy's coat tails. a Male wrestling counter-part of Kim K, and Paris Hilton.
Don't like the fortunate sons name either though.
Or the King of the Ring. With all the gimmick PPV, I really don't know why they wont bring it back. With all the all young midcard talent they have, it can give one or two guys, depending on how they book it, some credibility and elevate them to the top tier.
Exactly. They booked Edge KOTR in 01? Whenever it was and at the same time built up Christian to get screwed out of the finals to build their credibility as singles wrestlers. Edge and Christian went on to feud for the IC title and additionally adding US title and European title reigns at that time. Now look at them.
KOTR 2001 AKA The Kurt Angle Show. Angle wrestled almost 60 minutes, in three matches. One of the best WWE PPVs ever, Angle vs Shane, with the suplex through the glass wall. And a very underrated Main Event Stone Cold/Y2K/Benoit with the first wCw sighting, Booker T axekicking Stone Cold. Then, they dropped the ball.
Man, when Angle was struggling to break that glass with those suplexes I was in pain for Shane-O-Mac! But yes, it was a great PPV.
