If the rumors are true how much will NXT be an expense to WWE if they go to live weekly shows?

People are just misinterpreting the image about the tiered network prices. It means that when a show is aired for the first time (every wednesday) that is the "live" airing.

I took that to mean that the prerecorded shows would be available but the live shows (i.e.Takeovers) wouldn't. Basically the Hulu deal.

I don't think I've seen that kind of set up where the ring is on the stage in an actual theatre before. Is that common at house shows?

They did this for the Philly shows at the Tower Theater

It was a lovely setup where the crowd couldn't see a lot of what was happening

If they're going to add incentives to the network then they need to offer account sharing or at least the ability to run two streams simultaneously over the same network.

Better Living Through Birding And Pessimism
Went to the NXT Baltimore(really Bel Air) show tonight. Maybe it was just the novelty of seeing wrestling live for the first time in so long, but I really enjoyed it. Especially the Cedric Alexander vs Bobby Roode match which the crowd ate up. Those two did good together. I sang along to Roode's theme, much to the dismay of the kids next to me.

Other thoughts:

Lots of "Delete" chants early on especially. Fun to go along with those.

Lower card stuff was mostly ok, but Authors of Pain(lame name too) suck. Wish it had been Revival instead but they weren't on this tour. TM61 is a team that clearly has some ability and chemistry, but just aren't clicking for whatever reason. Elias Sampson came out and sang a song about how much he hated Bel Air which was standard heel wrestler stuff, but it made me laugh because I have a friend who works in Bel Air and hates it so bad.

Asuka was exciting to see but the match was kind of weird. Because her opponent Peyton Royce was actually doing most of the offense. This kind of confused me because I expected a massacre there, and I think the crowd felt the same way. But I guess house shows are where they practice these things. Main event was fun and people were nuts for Shinsuke and Joe and Tye Dillinger especially. Seemed like more taunting than wrestling some of the time(to be expected at a house show when all four guys are pushing 40), but it was great fun nonetheless.

All in all I had a great time with Roode vs Alexander being my favorite part, and will definitely go to something like this again if I get the chance.

Poor guy can't catch a break.

I wonder if this is it for his WWE run. He was a big signing at the time, but now that his body is breaking down and Nak more or less took his spot, I don't see where he fits in the current environment.

This plus him still having trouble connecting with WWE audiences (other than by teasing the GTS) makes me feel like they're probably done with him. Post above about Nakamura taking his spot is absolutely true.

I mean, it's not like WWE has done him many favors. He had a lot of heat behind him when he first signed but then they stuck him in an angle where The Ascension kicked his rear end for weeks until his cool buff friend Finn Balor showed up to save him. From that point on they were just using him to get over Finn.

Mostly it's been bad luck and injuries, but getting him over was obviously not the top priority from the start.

He really hasn't been able (or hasn't been allowed, depending on how cynical you are) to translate what got him over in NOAH to NXT. I mean he's been slapping his thigh on kicks recently for gently caress's sake. That's like the anti-KENTA.

This is especially weird in hindsight, now that they brought in guys like Nakamura and Joe and are just letting them be Nakamura and Joe, without any hamfisted attempt to create a new WWE character. Meanwhile Itami's only real traits have been "Finn Balor's less interesting friend" and "uhh, that one Japanese guy."

Wasn't one of his problems going on was that he was trying to really adjust to the WWE style and then one night HHH told him to just be Kenta?

He would be doing fine if not for the near-constant injuries.

So who gives Nakamura his first loss? Joe? Almas? Roode? Like, folks were saying that Itami was going to usurp Nakamura's title, but now there aren't any other credible opponents for him apart from those three, Murphy and I guess Aries.

They've kinda written themselves into a corner.

e: alternatively, break up Gallows and Anderson (because they're never going to win the titles, at least not before December), send Anderson down to NXT, set up a feud between him and Nakamura, then boom, credible champion

I figure it will be Roode, as I think he'll get the NXT belt next. Unless they hotshot him to one of the main shows.

I highly doubt we will see Itami again.
