Tom Phillips and Corey Graves seem to be on the verge of finishing up with NXT finally soon. They've obviously introduced Percy Watson recently but they've hired a new announcer that starts next week at NXT apparently.

Corey Graves calling Wrestlemania most likely is a real trip if you think about where he came from or worst fears people had about how Vince and Kevin Dunn would receive him.

I'd even say Corey Graves ending up as WWE's top colour commentator is probably the thing happening now that would sound the weirdest if you took a time machine back five years.

Re: Graves https://twitter.com/TheFrayMovement/status/818119362582376449

Quick aside as it is a real thing. Besides it being WRESTLEMANIA. All the ex-NXTers from wrestlers to announcing/commentary staff want appear at the Florida Wrestlemania this year for the full circle moment aspect. Expect a big morale hit among those who don't appear on screen or maybe it being something WWE may discipline people with.

I enjoy Graves almost as much as Heenan.

He does a great job at color and he plays that heel persona well. I just want him to have one person that he hates always like Heenan did with Hogan.

He really loving hates The Drifter even though he's a heel. And he loathes DIY. When he hates someone he lays it on REAL heavily and it's pretty fun.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Likewise I'm not sure what Asuka's alignment is supposed to be, but Corey's always praised her highly.

In my head it's pronounced Wunny, no matter how much I know that is not true.

Both Oney and Lorcan are Irish names. Oney means "Honored/Honorable", "Long lived", "Born on Holy Ground". Lorcan means "Little fierce one". So the Honorable little fierce one that was born on Holy Ground

He's tried the Finn Balor thing and missed the mark a little bit in my opinion

Yesterday I heard the Woman's tourney has been pushed to May/June & CWC2 pushed to September.

Kinda sucks if you are Crusierweight whose contract is up or is coming up. You will just have to sit tight and work most of the year on the indies. Mark Andrews had the ideal situation of jumping from TNA to straight to the WWE UK tournament.

what will the prize be for CWC2? Assuming you can't just vacate the belt so I have to assume either the champ is in the tourney from the beginning, or is the Final Boss.

World Wrestling Entertainment has hired Vic Travagliante, the voice of House of Hardcore, as the latest member of their announcing team, PWInsider.com has learned.

Travagliante will start shortly with the company. Prior to HOH, he had worked as an announcer for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The belief is he will be working on the WWE NXT brand.
