Watching NXT. Generico isn't wrestling Cesaro. He wrestled The Curt Hawkins.

Cesaro is wrestling Tatsu.

Nevermind.........I see what happened.

@Lobo

Jim Ross's episode was put up today I think.

Thanks for the heads up. Like I said, I like the podcast when he interviews people.

- After last week’s round of WWE developmental releases, it’s expected that more releases will be announced before the new WWE Performance Center opens on July 1st. There also may be some other developmental employees shifted around – some sent to WWE headquarters and some just released.

Word also is that WWE will be getting rid of a lot of talents who have been in their developmental system for a while without really doing anything in NXT or getting called to the main roster. Derrick Bateman’s release was a perfect example of that.

Out of the recent releases, the Audrey Marie and Briley Pierce cuts were the biggest shockers within WWE.







- It has been noted how the Sami Zayn vs. Antonio Cesaro match from the last set of NXT tapings received praise from fans and wrestlers in attendance. The two wrestled again at last night’s tapings and that match was said to be better than the first.

So this means JTG will still be employed that should be his new gimmick, doing random stuff and people wondering how he's still employed

The Rock bought his cousin Tamina Snuka a Lexus SUV

I know Rock comes from a big wrestling family but I didn't know he was related to Jimmy Snuka as well. Pretty dope.

Scott Hall's son Cody went to go visit him and decided to move in for a while to have Jake, DDP and his dad help him with his wrestling career.   Great stuff that DDP is doing man.  I hope WWE puts him in the Hall of Fame next year and brings him on board with helping other wrestlers with their addiction problems.

No prob, but if it makes you feel any better, I'd like to burn at least half of those 10 years out of my memory

where can I watch NXT live if it's even possible?   I want to get into something other then Raw but Smackdown and TNA are boring. 

 

[Mcflyy]

They don't give NXT live on T.V, you can watch the taped shows on T.V if you live in Canada and some European channels. Another way to watch it is if you have Hulu plus.
