NXT Thread

[Stanford]

I think Rollins needs to be a face. If he's getting over, he's doing it with "flips and ****". He can't talk and he's not solid enough in the ring to get over with old fashioned heelery. I think turning him heel, even in a stable is a mistake.

And I think Ohno needs some time to figure out wtf he's doing. He's been thoroughly underwhelming since arriving. Looks like he's just going through the motions. I don't know if he's not motivated being in FCW, but his work has lacked any sort of passion so far.

However, I do love Richie Steamboat. A lot. More than I probably should. I would team up him and Rollins and bring them up with a valet almost immediately. Then feature 2 tag matches per SD! and 1 every Raw. Teams for the moment would be:

Swaggler - Heel
Arfie Truthston - Face
Darren Young and Titus Oneal - Heel
The Usos - Face
Epico and Primo - Heel
Rollins and Steamboat - Face
Hunico and Camacho - Heel

That's a pretty solid division. Enough to have two teams feuding for the title, another two as the "next in line" teams, and then the remaining to job until the current feuds are through.

That's a shame to hear about Ohno, I thought he was doing good. I heard the same about Rollins.

I don't want any stable coming up really, just giving a guess as to what the revolution could be. I want Ambrose up now though, alone, and like right now, tonight on raw.

Rollins is a weird case. Most people on the internet despise him and think he's pretty much worthless, but I think that's a bit harsh. He's definitely got wrestling charisma. I think a good portion of the crowd will love him, honestly. He just looks like someone who belongs in a WWE ring. All the criticisms about his ring work are valid, but I think he's got enough of the "it-factor" to get by for a couple of years. But then again, there's a lot of people who would call me a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) for being that optimistic.

I am pumped to see FCW at the new set.

[Dunthreevy]

Are they moving to a new venue, or just revamping the set? I wish it was actually on air where I live. I know the episodes are available on youtube but I'd prefer to watch on my big screen.

[Stanford]

They moved the tapings to Orlando. NXT is also being shot there now, rather than before raw

This "Revolution" whatever it is, will apparently be revealed next week. I'll retract what I said about it being the network as I think based on the events of the past few days makes me think the "Revolution" is them going to a 3 hour Raw.

[Dunthreevy]

I'm doubting that the "Revolution" is just that Raw is going to 3 hours. That is a fact that is already widely known and posted on wwe.com. So why would they be doing promos for something that everyone already knows about, and that is still 2 months away?

I think the "revolution" has to be either a new wrestler, or a major change to the landmark of the WWE.

[safi]

I was unaware that it was being reported on wwe.com, that makes it a lot less likely. But even then wwe.com has a lot less readers than Raw has viewers.

[Celtics_Champs]

Cena and a bunch of other wrestlers are tweeting about it. I can't imagine that is it. I'd say Network or Wrestler.

[safi]

I just watched the 2nd and third videos. The part that has the internet buzzing is that there's a split second shot of Matt Morgan at the end.

Having seen the videos, I fully retract what I say that this is about the 3 hour Raw. I also don't think it's Matt Morgan. This is a viral video and the Matt Morgan cameo seems like it was intended to screw with the internet.

[Stanford]

I don't even think it's Matt Morgan. It's looks like a hybrid of Conor O'Brian and Punk.

[safi]

Here's a link to a blown up picture of that shot. I definitely think it's Morgan.

[Dunthreevy]

I agree that I think the shot of Morgan was thrown in to mess with the internet. It's not like WWE hasn't done the same thing before (Undertaker's return where they planted the seeds for speculation about Sting).

[safi]

I also don't think it's possible. Matt Morgan did an interview a month ago (I put it in the Wrestling podcasts thread) and he mentioned that his TNA contract expires in October. I've read a few places that he's been written out of the show and isn't coming back. But even then, I don't think it's possible that he can show up in WWE unless he was mistaken and his contract ended earlier.
