Any word on who will be on these NXT Live event shows? I'm going to the one in Toronto, and I would love to see Ohno.

By all accounts, Mandy is basically what they wanted Eva Marie to be, a traditional 'hot chick' that can actually work reasonably well in the ring. Vanessa has a good look but these days that doesn't matter as m- oh, wait, Vince and Dunn are still in charge, right?

In the past the tours have generally been all the big names so he'll probably be around.

Miz will be a first ballot Hall of Famer for many reasons, but his foresight in saving Mandy on Tough Enough will be top of the list

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



Mandy was too boring to be on Total Divas, to me that makes her a potential star. Hopefully she is improving since we never really see her on tv much.

Apparently she was pretty good at last night's NXT house show, though that's from 1 source.

When's the last time Mandy was even on TV? I remember last fall she was getting a mini-push for like 3 weeks, and then ... disappeared.

In at least Canada it's a TV channel. That's why it has an actual schedule, that stuff is what's on the broadcast version.

The former.

The marine is Lacey Evans.

All reports are that they gave her some early TV exposure, without showing too much or asking too much (largely multiple women matches), then kept her off TV when they could tell she both had potential to be a star, but needed development and that it would be better to wait until she was ready to get a push.

Put two generic branding type words together that have little to no relationship to each other and you might get close.

Don't expect something as clean as "The Shield" that's all.

when you say generic branding words, I think of the team names from The Apprentice (UK) like they've been named Synergy Illuminate or something.

OH NO

Also, it's really weird that they'll sign off on contracted talent working for ICW, but Vince won't just pull the trigger on putting their videos up on the Network.

:darksouls:
there a specific reason NXT would let ICW borrow one of their talents? other than that it's not like they're doing anything big with Ohno right now

not that wild on the heels of like Dakota Kai and Jack Gallagher at Progress NYC but still sorta weird they'd send him that far to a promotion I assume he doesn't have that much history with

Gaz-L

He's apparently wrestled their champion before, enough to be pushing this as a rubber match between them. And similar to Progress, WWE was courting ICW with the possibility of airing their stuff on the Network, as well as using them as a feeding ground for UK talent.

Went to NXT Toronto last night. It sure was a house show. Interesting to see all the people they have in the pipeline, but I feel I might have paid a bit too much for some bog standard matches. Probably just spoiled cause of all the Indy wrestling we have in TO.

Main event was Cien Almas vs Drew for the title, it was solid. Mandy Rose was surprisingly over for how little she was on tv, she will definitely be a star if she keeps progressing.
