Keep the party rolling strong folks.

Who gets the first shot at Cole? Ciampa or Balor? and who's the fourth rando wrassler to join those 2 and Velveteen in a 4 on 4 verses UE?

REACT!!!!

I'm kinda over Undisputed Era already, put the titles on other guys. I want Velveteen Dream as NXT Champion.

And someone like Keith Lee would really benefit from getting the North American title. Him and Dijakovic need something to fight over to continue their feud.

Are the Undisputed Era too old and too experienced for NXT? Personally, I can't get enough of them - no matter where they are. But are they a fit for the WWE main roster - are they big enough? I'd like to see them there with a bigger guy added to sorta be their body guard. Maybe they would fit better at AWE?

not so sure UE are main show guys. I believe Cole can be because simply put he's Adam Cole, the other 3 would need help. Maybe Fish and KOR with them being a really good tag team. But they'd have to catch fire with PURRRRREEEE ring work and i'm not sure that's enough to work at their size. They'll need something by the way of personality and neither has enough of that.

Roddy needs a manager and or to be pushed as the best worker on the planet in order to maintain some sort of success on that big of a stage. NXT just might be the best place for UE under a WWE umbrella. I think the 3 flounder without Cole on the main stage and Cole might be too small for a sustained run at the top if called up.

Shifting that whole group to AEW ala The Radicals back in the day wouldn't be a sustainable thing either i don't think. Too many factions in one spot gets old real quick and AEW doesn't need to repeat moves made by WCW back in the day.

Anybody on the NXT roster you guys think are strictly small room acts? Or do you think it's solely on poor management on the main roster when guys that get called up don't workout?

I am psychic

That's a smart set-up. They can have Lee and Dijakovic take each other out and then Strong picks up the win while keeping everyone strong heading into the next Takeover.

Baszler seriously might be the best heel in Wrestling.

she's been fantastic for a long time. Would love to see her on the main stage and see how they'd use her.

Can Walter main event a Wrestlemania? Does he deserve a massive push?

Blame it on Vince, but I'm bear-ish on Velveteen. If his character looks weak on the main roster he would be on the road to comedy jobber status quickly. I also think he's one of the guys the size difference between NXT and main roster will hurt the most. Roode and EC3 showed that it's hard to play the "larger than life" character when you are smaller than a lot of the roster (not that they really tried in either case). I think Velveteen is low key not far away from being cruiserweight size, he just is a heavyweight compared to Gargano and Cole. Thats probably why he was never the next Reigns/Cena

I mean, given the past five or so main events of 'Mania, I feel like just about anyone could main event it better than what they've given us.

Dream is like the exact size as Seth Rollins.

I'd be stunned if that was actually true.

Dream is billed taller and heavier. Didn't Jericho just call Rollins out for talking about Osprey's size when Rollins is barely bigger than him?

Oh, okay. We are saying the same thing then. My bad.

I think Dream is way bigger than Rollins, more than their billed figures let on.

Honestly if Vince (Triple H) believes enough in the character then the size wouldn't really matter. What it comes down to with Dream i think, is whether or not a character that over the top can be viewed as a world champion on the main stage. That might be the tougher sale to the masses. How much of a change would Dream need to make?

He is actually pretty similar to Buddy Murphy, it looks to me Velveteen is slightly taller



Wrestlers as big as him and smaller have been stars, I just think some people's character depends more on size than others, EC3 is a great example as in NXT he had the look of a star more than anyone else due to his ridiculous body but it didn't work as well on main roster. Dream is one of them as he needs a larger than life presence and needs to be physically intimidating instead of looking soft despite being a male stripper type character (Then again, HBK was also kind of a male stripper type character and not that huge)

would of you guys be down for Ripley/Belair to turn into a Lee/DD kind of feud in the women's division? or should Rhea run through her and keep it pushing towards Bazler?


Also: thoughts on Damien Priest?

That Cameron Grimmes v Matt Riddle match was **** great
