Haha, lucky guess!

I actually heard about the WWEflix thing and, honestly, it sounded a bit tempting just to be able to watch old PPVs on demand. On the other hand, I remember them going so far as to bleep or blur out any mention of the WWF in the past, which made things pretty annoying to watch. If they still bowdlerize stuff like that, I'd not be too interested. On the other other hand, Vince does basically own the archives of every American wrestling promotion that ever was and I know they used to show that stuff online, so I might give it a whirl anyway.

I'm only vaguely aware of NXT, but it's basically a wrestling version of American Idol, right? Doesn't really sound much more offensive than the business exposing antics of Tough Enough way back when. But the problem with the whole thing, as with FCW and (more or less, although it wasn't WWE-owned) OVW, is that the WWE can't be its own farm league. It has always thrived off of seeing other promoters mishandle their talent and then stealing them away with the big bucks. Now that it can't do that anymore, they are boned until Vince croaks because he is always going to... well, be this guy:

 

Actually, NXT has quite often been better than RAW.  The Wyatt Family came from there, Adrian Neville (PAC) is there, Sami Zayn (El Generico) is there, and several other talented guys.  The Sami Zayn/Cesaro feud was excellent.  It also has MUCH better female wrestling than the main roster.  Of course, it's still the WWE, so they're trying to push a pretty boy, Bo Dallas, down everyone's throat, even though he gets booed a lot.

That NXT belt really reminds me of the x-division title because of that big X anyways Bo shouldn't be anywhere near the mic he makes Garrett Bischoff sound like a god on the mic.
