PTP is just going to be more fodder for The Ascension. No idea why you'd rather have an NXT team in that position.

I'd like to see some of them at least get a chance to get on the main roster and make some real money instead of toiling in NXT forever. Yeah they're far more entertaining there, but how long can they stay down there for?

really strong IC Champion on show...

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Itami
Balor
Zayn
Neville
Owens
Breeze
Lucha Dragons
Vaudevillains
Murphy/Blake

AND WE GET THE FREAKING PRIME TIME PLAYERS REUNION INSTEAD????

PTP reunion was a great idea.....But yea I don't know why the Dragons haven't been brought up yet.


And the only reason PTP never won anything of note because they bafflingly broke them up when they had just hit their stride and really gotten over

Shit, at least he fucking won. Thats a step in the right direction

 

[BaconBits]

They should had had The Bunny hump Barrett in the corner whilst he is bent over.

 

[Tyrath]

"Thats how Barrett signs autographs, I know for a fact."

Funniest thing Cole has said in a long time.

 

[rbv13]

This is so corny it works. Until Cole and JBL started talking.

Wasn't Miz supposed to help him with Ambrose?

 

[klunderbunker]

Most of that list already went over or jobbed to The Ascension in the last couple years. No need for that to happen again.

Based on that logic, Daniel Bryan never should have been World Champion after all those losses in NXT.

 

[Navi]

Ambrose fucking hilarious.

I didn't mind the Players as a team. Titus is still completely underutilized but Young does nothing for me. I just think there are better options to help build up the division.

 

[rbv13]

I have no idea why BNB is so over with certain fans. Dude sucks donkey balls. His weak champ act fits just fine.

Dude I'm totally with you on all of that. I think people who clamor for their guys to stay in NXT are selfish pricks.

I just don't mind PTP reuniting for a quick feud with The Ascension.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Uhl to the both of you, since when were peoples salaries made public? How do you know what the main NXT guys make?

Common sense would suggest that it's nowhere near the main roster. If nothing else they'd have a better market for their merchandise.

 

[L@RISANO]

this seems like a RAW where creative went,"oh shit, PPV's this sunday coming, and we have only a couple matches ready..."

I've heard guys, namely Daniel Bryan, talk openly about how they never made any money in NXT until they made the main roster. Same with Ambrose and Rollins. It's why these guys are always rooming together while they're in Florida.

 

[rbv13]

If a few NXT guys join Raw/SD! why couldn't they just pull double duty? A handful already do so with house shows. Keep NXT strong while giving the talents more exposure.

and when were they there?


Certainley not since the Network came along and the show became a major backbone of it.

 

[klunderbunker]

I really dig Kidd's theme music.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

THank goodness, I was just about to ask if Kidd and Cesaro need to beat the Usos 77 straight times in every configuration of match in order to get a tag title shot

 

[klunderbunker]

Really Cole? Did she really sleep on Naomi's couch??? HOW DID YOU KEEP THIS UNDER YOUR HAT FOR SO LONG???

 

[rbv13]

Cole knows b/c it was on Total Divas

I don't hide my feelings on Daniel Bryan. I wouldn't have had him as World Champion.

Here's the deal with the NXT guys and randomly bringing a team up to just have them job to The Ascenion. The Ascension have bombed on the main roster to this point. Bad. The likelihood of any of those other guys or teams you named (I'm surprised you didn't include Enzo and Cass on it too) and bombing at this point is pretty high. I want those guys on the main roster, but I want it to be good when they're brought up.

 

[rbv13]

While there must be a base deal the pay and advancement raises likely differ for each individual.

All you have to do is look at the downside guarantees that the top guys have to surmise that the NXT guys aren't making shit. The top guys get more than their guarantee from touring, something the NXT guys don't really do.

I'm sure they get points on their merch but NXT doesn't make any money. Not until they start touring anyway.
