NXT was the only consistently good thing WWE produced for years and now it's basically been erased from history, absolutely insane to see happen in real time like this.

I feel bad for HHH, he was a huge ego in a business full of huge egos. Who'd he really step over? Other assholes. Besides Chyna, I do not like the Chyna thing.

He was also the second best pure heel WWE ever had. The first being Ted DiBiase.

Rank your all time heels here, they are disqualified if they ever wrestled as a face for an extended period of time.

1. Ted DiBiase
2. HHH
3. Vince McMahon

He didn't just step over other assholes, he covered up the abuse of Bill DeMott and others in developmental. In the process it appears Jane Geddes tried to do something about the abuse and lost her job over it. So it wasn't just stepping over wrestling assholes, it was people from completely different fields who were trying to stop abuse. And not giving a poo poo about the people being abused.

What's up with them letting a billion midcard wrestlers go (and also cutting big names) but also trying to re-sign people like Kairi or Gargano who obviously have a very low ceiling with the company?

They correctly think Gargano will want to go elsewhere and be far more successful there

They correctly know Kairi will. See her trying to compete elsewhere already while under their contract last year

WALTER will be a full-time performer on NXT and has moved to the United States. Because of a new girlfriend, a wrestler, he was more open to moving to America.

Due to family reasons, his prior agreement was to only appear in the U.S. occasionally. However, the pandemic kept him away from the U.S. for an extended period and obviously plans changed.

Meltzer does not go into additional detail beyond that.

i really don't give a poo poo about seeing walter in nxt or the main roster. nothing gives me confidence in them handling him well. this will be a trainwreck qtiyd

if this was black & gold original nxt, sure, yeah. but it is not.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

He'll get a Breaking Bad gimmick and start saying "I am the one who chops". He'll get over because of the chops, they'll move him to the main roster, and he won't be allowed to chop anyone again.

AEW signing Samoa Joe and then just booking him against the former NXT guys would be the best thing ever. Cap it with a Punk match and then just stick him in a booth with Taz and Tony.

The best would be him vs Hook and then vs Punk or vice versa.

i assumed they were bringing WALTER over to mostly train people, and then they cut all the trainers, so now i have no idea

like i guess it makes sense to keep the tall large guy who can teach all the even taller larger guys how to do hoss poo poo, but on the other hand, they just cut joe
