    Vince, Kevin Dunn, and Cole going to XFL would do wonders for the product.

    The WWE product, obviously .

    You guys think they’re going to do something similar tonight on Smackdown with NXT?

    Wouldn’t blame them for the lackluster response last night. That crowd was atrocious, wouldn’t schedule and TV show in Lafayette, LA for a while

    The way they did it was still moronic. H introducing all of them first thing. The heavy machinery/ lacy evans part was brutal. The ricochet match was completely random. It was done poorly, regardless of crowd.

    Yes. She should be given more of a push than she gets. As the actual leader of a heel stable instead of the leader of a mostly cannon fodder stable.

    Well, if they’re are going to be easing the NXT call ups to the main roster in order to get the crowd familiar with them, I’d imagine they’ll do the women tonight on Smackdown.

    This is a feud that writes itself for Wrestlemania.

    - Have Kofi and Daniel Bryan face off at Fast Lane for the title.
    - DQ finished: Kofi with the near pinfall only to be interrupted by Luke Harper and Erik Rowan and attacking Kofi, with a New Day coming down to help.
    - Sets up a tag match at Wrestlemania: Luke Harper/Erik Rowan vs Xavier Woods/Big E
    - Kofi vs Daniel Bryan rematch at Wrestlemania, with Kofi going over.
    - Boom, your feel good moment at Wrestlemania. 1st Black WWE Heavyweight Champion

    I honestly don’t see how Vince and the WWE can fuck this up.

    The way the commentary team has been hyping up Kofi and talking continuously that he's been wrestling for 11 years without getting much of a shot at the big belt leads me to believe they are going to push him. If they weren't, why even have him finish second in EC? Why let him and Bryan go whatever it was 10-15 minutes?

    I think some people are jumping the gun a bit on Kofi. the Yes Movement was a year-long build. this Kofi thing, while cool, has come out of nowhere. he wasn't even supposed to be in the match. we will see tonight what direction they want to go, but I think putting the title on him at Mania might be getting ahead of ourselves after one great match.

    this is how I felt with people wanting him to win at EC, there's plenty of time for a good Kofi build leading to Mania though (or at least the opportunity for a good build)

    Kofi has had an entire career of great matches and has been the absolute workhorse for New Day. I think he has every right to be talked about as a legit challenger for the title. Also, since Bryan vs Whoever isn't going to be the main event, why not have it be Kofi vs Bryan?

    HHH has been wanting to treat the shows like the old territories for awhile. Have a wrestler have a home show while occasionally loaning out the more popular guys to the other shows for short runs or matches to mix things up

    Its why Sasha and Bayley are defending on NXT

    I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, or it's out of the question. I just think it's really overstating it to compare him to Bryan's build at this point.

    It’s like Sunday night Vince wasn’t around and we got good matches, smart booking, the tease of good storylines and a well paced event that overdelivered.

    Then Monday it felt like everything came to screeching stop, storylines got reversed and the dumbest booking known to man was front and center.

    It’s almost like I was right about Vince not being at the PPV and returning for RAW just to change everything and turn it to shit.

    There are hyping a big announcement on NXT tomorrow. Wonder if it's being announced NXT is a third brand and is going to FS1, which would explain them giving these NXT guys more spotlight

    -This is how the match should’ve been at EC. They didn’t need squash Ruby.

    Ciampa and Gargano keep saying they are on RAW and Smackdown to “Take Over” if this the the making of a NWO style invasion how bad ass could this end up being.

    You could even have the recent NXT call ups like Almas, AOP turn on WWE roster.

    I’m snowed in and fantasy booking lol

    Also, they should just take 30 minutes off of raw and add it to Smackdown. Raw clearly starts dragging and I feel like Smackdown feels to short, so that have to rush to the ending before it goes off air.

    Smackdown is perfect. A quick two hours and we don’t always see the same characters each week.

    On RAW we end up seeing the bottom of the barrel. I’ve been forced to watch Zack Ryder in multiple segments. It’s been three years since they went to 3 hours at this point they are committed to the money.


    Hope If the rumor of NXT to FS1 is legit they move to two hours of live TV each week.

    So if the rumors are true for NXT; do you think they’re going to be an official 3rd main brand or still developmental territory?
