That was my argument, but if he tries a vanity fed, that will be an even more epic failure. 

HHH and JJ resurrecting Global Force Wrestling is the dream

[NintendoLogic]

It looks like he was too busy playing Risk when he should have been watching his back.

[El-P]

Thanks for this.

Were they really planning NXT Levant

[Timbo Slice]

Dude literally had an NXT Svalbard on the map, what in the world. 

[KawadaSmile]

Business-wise it was a bold move that could've had a huge payoff but that flopped hard, and it helps that Hunter is very unlikeable. It is easy to root against him.

Didn't they announce this right before the pandemic struck?

[Clayton Jones]

To the contrary, it looks like he tried to take Asia without a foothold in Australia. If anything he should have taken lessons learned from Risk more seriously.

Ironically with all the Aus/NZ talent NXT has signed you'd think it would have occurred to Hunter that it might make a good base of operations. Maybe he has a deep seated kangaroo phobia.

Brother Love, who was doing impersonations on a podcast 5 years ago, is gonna "write" (aka say "Hell yeah Vince, that's good shit") NXT.

Every time I think of Prichard in creative I just think back to him absolutely refusing to admit that the Red Rooster gimmick was bad. He'll go to his grave saying it could have worked if Taylor put in more effort. "He's the cock of the walk!"

Says all that needs to be said about Bruce creatively I think.

Also, shout out to Sek for confusing George Clooney & James Franco.

Let's see what happens to NXT India

The fact that they planned on running a show called NXT UK Takeover Dublin tells you how ill-conceived the whole project was.

[KawadaSmile]

Vince and Prichard are NOT going to produce NXT.

Miz will be on the next season of Dancing with the Stars

[NintendoLogic]

Has Miz done anything in Hollywood outside of the WWE umbrella? It'd be pretty funny if he pulled a Stacy Keibler and quit the company once he realized how much the treatment of wrestlers pales in comparison to that of real celebrities.

[Strummer]

I can remember in 2013/2014 they wanted Stacy to come back to the company. Stephanie even had a meeting with her. She turned them down.

It looks like they (probably just Bruce) will be coming up with the creative and other folks will do the actual day to day producing. 

Hunter having to put Brucie's plans to work is going to be hilarious.

Rick BOOGZ becoming very good is something great

He's really leaning in to it, which is what you have to do to make these silly gimmicks work (and that's probably why Brucie didn't think Terry tried hard enough to make the Rooster work).

[KawadaSmile]

I mean, going by his YT videos even when before he got into NXT or made TV, that gimmick IS pretty much how he is. Certainly helps a lot!

[KawadaSmile]

can't wait for logan paul's hall of fame speech in 2030

[KawadaSmile]

Roman vs Finn is ALWAYS really fucking good

[Rah]

I get you can only do so many acrobatic flips, but I haven't seen any love for Reggie here in ages. Did he get lost in the shuffle already?

[sek69]

They really haven't been doing as much 24/7 stuff. Reggie is still awesome when they do.
