Wow! I didn't know that Aries is in NXT now. I'll have to watch NXT again.

Same. I keep forgetting to watch NXT since it's on the Network and not on regular TV. I do like how some of TNA's biggest starts are now with WWE. Styles, Joe, and now Aries. Now they need to get James Storm back and try to get Bobby Roode and reunite them as Beer Money and have them dominate the tag division. TNA can still put on decent shows on occasion, but with them bleeding talent to other companies and with the constant network hopping, I'm tuning in less and less.

At least you can watch them. I can't even watch TNA anymore. They finally found a channel I didn't have I guess

If you don't mind waiting a bit, you can watch them at http://watchwrestling.to/

I don't have cable at all so I watch everything there.



The NXT roster is looking super good. Though a few of them should be called up to the main roster since the roster is looking thin especially with all the injuries. Aries would be my first choice.

I also like how they're making AJ look like a big deal. Was nervous when they paired him up with Miz since he's excellent on the mic.

So the Social Outcasts is just a copy of the New Day?



Nothing can catch the greatness of the New Day! :D

Samoa Joe :O!

 

Austin Aries should have debuted on the main roster too.

 

Would make sense and further a feud up for WM or SS.

 

Yeah Joe would be great too. AJ v Joe for Wrestlemania would be awesome and surreal.

I hate to say this, because he's one of the best wrestlers out there, but I struggle with Aries being allowed to do much of anything on RAW unless they add a cruiser weight division. They're already mocking Styles for being short as it is. They'll overlook it if you're a flyer but otherwise, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Samoa Joe should be on the main roster, however, and he should be a force.

Personally, I wish they'd split off Smackdown again and make it a home for the smaller wrestlers. Turn it into something like the WCW mid-card used to be, which was awesome.

Awesome! Thanks for this. I'll be able to watch TNA again

I'd be all on board with this. I don't even watch Smackdown anymore since its usually just rematches of Raw matches the day before. It would be great if they split it up again. It could be the middle ground between NXT and Raw.



I disagree, WWE's roster is way to thin for a brand split to work. WWE should be building up their under card to support both shows. IC title is in decent hands and has a decent program, but the U.S. title went to the crapper when Cena got injured. Nohing against Callisto (Kallisto? I only caught him on the ppv), but he needs some program/gimmick. Something akin to what Guerro and Rey did back in the day (Minus the child angle). If they're going to pair him with Alberto. Personally, I think they need to start bringing talent up from NXT. Have two female feuds on constant on the main Roster. I think the girls earned it. Run Styles with Owens. Or maybe even a heel Ambrose vs Styles so Joe can take on Owens. Repackage Fandango. Fix the tag team guys who look like Legion of Doom (Can't remember their name). Run two tag team feuds on constant. There's a lot they can do with what they have, and make it damn good. The problem is there's just way too many politics in WWE. I mean, you'd figure they'd learn by now that constantly trying to "protect" a guy means your plans aren't working.

When's the last time we had a legitimate heel that could hold up his own? Whenever there's a fair 1v1 match and no screwy finishes the heel loses.

Theyre building Kevin Owens up to be that character.


Owens has lost to Ziggler and Kalisto on back to back episodes of RAW and Smackdown.

I blame you.
