Add me to that list, i forgot what section but i think its 110

It's an open spreadsheet.  You can enter your info.

 

[4wrestling]

Agreed.  I'm still very excited to go to WrestleMania.  I'm just not very excited about the show itself.  Of course, once I'm a in the stadium and few beers in, that will all probably change.

That's how I feel as well. I've probably watched raw about 2-3 times this past year but watching wrestlemania is a yearly thing for me. With it being close by for me this would be the ideal year for me to go. I said I was going to go to either wrestlemania 20 or 21 and never went so I'm for sure going this time around.

I got 1 ticket left if you're interested in going with my group of NT'ers.

I wonder what all the "boys in the back" who have a problem with Rock "stealing their spotlight" at WrestleMania think about Fandango and Big E having their first matches at Mania, while guys like Kofi aren't even on the card.

I just wanted to go back to this post real quick and say I highly doubt anyone will have a problem with Johnny Curtis finally getting his shot @ WrestleMania. We're talking about a guy who has been in developmental since 2006. He's probably been screwed over more than anyone on the roster.

Yeah, Fandango might not be the best gimmick. But it's about time this man get's a shot. He's making it work so far & hopefully this shot gives him an opportunity to do more when the gimmick is hopefully dropped.

I know you say no one watches NXT & no one does but the biggest wrestling fans. It might be easy to make fun of NXT/FCW but that's where most of us saw the true potential in Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Johnny Curtis, Antonio Cesaro, Ricardo Rodriguez, ETC. within the WWE realms. So NXT might not 'matter'..but it does.

Fair points (maybe), but name me a star that NXT has actually created.  Not a guy that was already an indy star that we knew would be successful.  I would say NXT/FCW has failed miserably with all of their "homegrown" talent.

Would Jack Swagger count?

I thought he started in FCW, but was transferred there after only a year in OVW.

In case you needed another reason why Kofi hasn't prospered yet.

Dr. Chris Amann, senior ringside physician, is spotlighted in the April 2013 issue of WWE Magazine. In it, he talks about leaving his practice in 2008 to take a job with WWE and his frequent patients. Below is an excerpt:

Leaving His Practice:

“Quite honestly, I wasn’t looking to leave the medical practice I’d built up pretty strong back in Chicago. But I had the opportunity to send WWE my résumé, and I did. A couple of weeks later, I went out for an interview at a TV taping in Albany. I got a chance to see what went on behind the scenes and speak with the staff, learn the requirements. I was intrigued about having the chance to develop their sports-medicine program not to mention the job sounded like a bunch of fun. So I left my practice to join up with WWE.”

Frequent Visitors:

“I can’t single out one Superstar. But, and this is sort of funny, there was a period of time when the joke backstage was, ‘If you’re having a match with Kofi, you were going to end up with me.’ So I was seeing his opponents one after the other at one point! Then there are Superstars such as John Cena, who barely frequent the training room. But when a medical issue does come up, he’s good about letting us know.

For more on Chris Amann you can check out his WWE corporate biography at this link.

...not from some random publication, **** was in the official WWE mag bruh.

The physician probably had no clue how bad of a look this was.

NXT, for the most part hasn't been around long. However, notable names coming out of OVW/FCW/NXT without having a cult indy following would be Damien Sandow, Sheamus, Jack Swagger, Wade Barrett, AJ Lee, Kaitlyn, Ryback, Cody Rhodes, ETC.

It's really hard to break it down since most wrestlers to spend some time on the indys.

Also, It's too early to tell if anyone will reach superstardom since the mainstays and new players (CM Punk) have all been around for years. Additionally, I don't think we will see a mega star from NXT for another few years due to booking. However, I don't think that the possibility is out of the question.

Not sure but, should Brock be part of that list? He came straight to OVW right after college, right?

 

[4wrestling]

OVW and FCW/NXT are two very different developmental systems.  Let's keep them separate.

Sheamus is the only one from that list I would consider a star.  Others are serviceable but never going to draw money (outside of Ryback's one HIAC main event).

I got 1 ticket left if you're interested in going with my group of NT'ers.

i'd be down but my friends coming as well so im going to have to get 2 tickets. i'd for sure be down to meet up with all the NT heads before and/or after the event though for sure.

im debating getting my tickets later this week or holding out til the day of the event and hoping get something decent at the last minute when those stuck with tickets get desperate to sell.

 

[killabapi]

Anybody going to the wrestling events around the area for wrestlemania weekend?
