I actually think it's the opposite: no Takeovers at Full Sail means the folks that would come don't bother because you don't get great matches/nothing 'important' happens at TV. There's only so many times they can have a big indie or returning star do an in-ring promo or be on the big screen before it stops working.

No rude comeback, sadly.

I'm actually liking the iconic duo, under the classic system of letting people have personalities makes them more interesting.

And while I want to be excited about Hero, the awful name combined with his bizarre style of so very man elbows and facing Roode leaves me a bit meh.

Ascension's Underworld characters and also Fandango and Ethan Carter III sure are different here. Same with Juice Robinson, Tyler Breeze, Viktor pre-Ascension.

What's really kind of surreal is if you go back and watch both NXT Redemption and FCW TV just before the format change. One week kind of out of nowhere they literally just rebranded FCW and added some Redemption guys to it.

Dirtbag Johnny Curtis was so great back then.

Truth Martini did a guest trainer stint at the PC a few weeks ago. A favour to Jimmy Jacobs. I don't think anything will come of it. They didn't advertise him on the website lol.

Sonjay Dutt worked the NXT TV tapings this week again as an agent.

New signing:

quote:

We can confirm that WWE has signed Canadian olympic weightlifter Isabel Lahela to a developmental contract with the company.

Isabel, 22, is a Toronto, Canada native and an Olympic Weightlifter who won the 48kg weightlifting Junior Ontario Championship in 2014.

Along with being a weightlifter she is also a professional model, personal trainer, and was a professionally trained dancer for fifteen years growing up in Canada.

She has been training at Superkick’d Wrestling in Toronto, Canada since August under the guidance of professional wrestlers Ashley Sixx and Kris Chambers.

Lahela took part in a WWE tryout at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida back in September of 2016 that also featured Kimber Lee, Heidi Lovelace, Jessica James, and many others.

She will be reporting to the WWE Performance Center this April.

Congratulations Isabel!

According to gerweck.net Australian Demi Bennett, 20, has been offered a WWE developmental deal.

Bennett has arrived in Orlando, FL to sign her WWE contract, and will be apart of the NXT roster.

Bennett is a former Riot City Wrestling Women’s champion. Bennett made her ring debut in 2013.

Between her age, look and current Wrestling ability Demi is a real no brainer WWE wise. There has been news articles in Australia about it. WWE has been waiting for her to get old enough to have a tryout, get signed etc.
