Will is a poo poo person but everyone knew what the end game of NXT UK was before it started, which was to kill the UK indy scene. And it didn't even pay that well for it either

Self-appointed gatekeeper of professional wrestling (offices: London, Tokyo) Will Ospreay isn't one to talk

And yes, the pay was insulting but a good chunk of that roster signed after the pandemic (and most of the damage had been done) and at least it was something rather than nothing

Jamie Hayter and Session Moth Martina didn't end up there, but they were talking about getting out of the business last year

This forum was singing a different tune about Ben Carter signing with NXTUK

There absolutely is an irony of it coming from a guy with a steady gig in Japan, but as you noted, it's a promo in a wrestling ring, playing to the audience. He's working.

That said, a) NXTUK started before the pandemic. b) it was an attempt by WWE to stomp out what was a hot UK indie scene, & if you look at Progress now, or ICW, and then the many promotions that haven't survived you can see it succeeded. Anyone with even the slightest understanding of how the WWE operates could see this was an inevitable outcome.

TBH Ospreay isn't even saying "gently caress 'em", it's just "don't come in acting like Billy Big Balls, show respect to the guys like Oku & Knight who helped ensure there was a promotion like RevPro for them to come in and work now they've been let go. Seems reasonable

So how do these people who keep pausing the "Dynamite's getting cut to 1 hour because low ratings" conspiracy theory reckon with the fact that even with the "abysmally low ratings" Dynamite is still in the top 5 ratings and is often the ONLY TNT/TBS show to even make it into the top 20, or the fact that Warner constantly puts out press releases bragging about it's ratings?

NXT is excluded from this because it's only developmental (except when it's not to satisfy a different argument).
