This is basically me right now checking the WWE Network Bot twitter feed:

Nine so far, seven of which are completely new to the network.

A couple were previously available for Black History Month, but yes it appears this isn't tied in to anyone going in to the HOF this year.

It seems like people think it's not possible for something to be on YouTube and the network.

The Drifter might be he most pointless callup ever. At least Tyler Breeze can make someone look like a million bucks putting them over.

Something like that would be a pretty glaring oversight on pretty much everyone's part (insert joke about Jarrett being to cheap to pay to register the shows). Even AWA shows have copyright notices and Verne was behind the times on practically everything.

Seems that it should either belong to him and/or Jarrett or WMC since it was their studio/staff filming it, right?

Jerry Lawler stated he completed getting control of the Memphis library from 77-88, and plans to sell it to WWE for them to put on the Network.

That's why the big names didn't come in for the Invasion angle, they were still getting paid by the fat WCW contracts. In fact, the ghost of WCW still lives in the Turner corporate spider web as the Universal Wrestling Corporation or something similar.

If WWE bought them they certainly wouldn't be keeping it as is. I would have a hard time believing it would go down any different than any other time one company bought another in the history of wrestling. If it's not shut down immediately, it would just be turned into NXT 2.0

So I fell down a 80s WWF TV rabbithole on YouTube, and it made me wonder why they changed the style of the WWF belt so many times in such a short period. In 83 they went from the 70s WWWF style belt to the big green belt, which was understandable since the older one was looking pretty dated at that point. By 85 they already replaced that with the one that had the same design as the NWA regional belts (TV, National), only to replace that with the one used in the buildup to WM 3 complete with a giant sized custom version made in the event Andre won. It was barely a year after that they finally ended up with the Winged Eagle that lasted all the way to the Attitude Era. It's not like they were big on selling replicas back then (although I did have a snazzy 85 style belt buckle back in the day), so it always puzzled me why they would change it so frequently.

Funny thing, if this happens it will be the third "coronation" of Reigns as the top guy yet some folks will still think he's being rejected because of Daniel Bryan. I mean, yes that was the start, but the continual force feeding of him as the one the company wants on top is the reason the backlash continues.

Maryse was unbelievably great in those skits. Her selling the fake marriage proposals got funnier and funnier every time.

He survived his limo exploding. He'll be fine. Yeah, if the McMahon's Millions stage falling on him didn't take him out, a fender bender won't do any harm.

It's funny that they consider them separate shows, but the numbering starts at 122 for the "current" NXT. That show is clearly being presented as the start of a new era so you'd think they'd reset the counter for that. Maybe they can start billing it the longest running weekly episodic streaming program in internet history or whatever.

Actually his comments were pretty solid until he got to the Tyson stuff and completely veered off into WTF territory. It's a textbook case of saying one paragraph too much and completely invalidating any point he may have been making.

Having the point of Hunter's promo be that Seth needed the cheers of the crowd because he's insecure was so meta it made my head spin. Plus nothing makes folks want to sit through a three hour show like starting off with another long Steph browbeating segment.

I think in current WWE canon anything pre Full Sail was a different show than today's NXT.

It was, but I thought it was pretty good. Everyone's caught up in Hero's fatness and all but I thought it was one of the better NXT TV matches of late (which I know is kind of damning it with faint praise).

I don't know if it's too late to salvage him, but I'm enjoying Almas' heel character just being an asshole to random geeks backstage.

That's the funny part, WWE seems to live in constant fear that sponsors will find out about something non PG happening, yet that never actually seems to happen.

I would think WWE's big concern would be if the sponsors find out there's a leaked sex tape with 3 of their performers. Especially since Xavier is starting to get a lot of crossover appeal due to his gaming side hustle.

By the way, the latest Observer mentions that Bully is in fact helping out backstage/in the office and is expected to be more of a part time guy.

Even though the encounter was years before they met, I hope neither Brad or Xavier cross paths with Alberto any time soon. Dude beat the shit out of someone at a Mexican indy show just for bumping into Paige in a hallway, he's probably livid about this.
