So the minors? Serious question not trying to be a douche.

**arus2001** · 2013-05-23 19:47

More or less. Used to air here in the States, but I guess it didn't do well.

It was minors when it was Florida Championship Wrestling. When Triple H became head of talent relations he took FCW and the NXT name and now its more entertaining and has better production (Students from Full Sail University {where it's filmed} do some of it) then some of WWE's shows.

The talent is being taught by Triple H, Billy Gunn, Kevin Nash, I think X-Pac, Dusty Rhodes, and William Regal I think, he does commentary mostly though.

Friggin Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home is the theme for it to.

AND EMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Doombear** · 2013-05-23 20:35

Emma!

Regal gets in feuds too, and wrestles from time to time. Awesome. He had a nice little feud with Dean Ambrose for a bit. More recently he and Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero) were taking turns beating the shit out of each other.

Yeah NXT is basically WWE developmental. They train and groom wrestlers there. Not just in wrestling, but promos, personae, etc. Ambrose was there. Seth Rollins was the first ever NXT Champion. Big E is the current champion. Summer Rae (Fandango's dancer blonde and real life lady friend) was/is there. They are about to unveil the NXT Women's Championship belt soon, and Paige best get that shit. Sorry Emma.

Hell it is starting to look like getting an NXT belt = hitting the big time shows. It is time Paige.

**AidenCarby** · 2013-05-23 20:47

Regal should just teach the heels, dude was fucking awesome.

**Anoat** · 2013-05-23 22:13

NXT trainers are Billy Gunn, Bill Demott, Ricky Steamboat, Steve Keirn (Skinner!), Jamie Noble, William Regal, SCREAMIN' NORMAN SMILEY, and Dusty Rhodes. The WWE just opened up an all new huge training facility for their NXT guys down in Orlando, from all accounts it is pretty slick.

**AidenCarby** · 2013-05-23 22:26

Man I remember Normal Smiley, that guy never won a match on WCW lol

WWE posted this on their youtube page I guess as his official intro. I don't like it nearly as much as the one he came out to on Raw.

Or maybe its the same and I'm just crazy but to me it sounds way different.

**Clemz** · 2013-05-24 00:24

I like that they specifically mention his dad, but still chose to go with "Curtis Axel," hell even the original "Curt Axel"(which you could see on his titantron video) would have been better, but should have just gone with Joe Hennig. Regardless, he's always been pretty good in the ring, and with Heyman behind him the sky's the limit. I guess they mentioned his grandfather too, The Axe, but still he was Larry "The Axe" Hennig.

Also holy shit had never even seen any of Emma, that's awesome.

Trigun · 2013-05-24 00:32

Her gimmick is dancing like Elaine from Seinfeld and messing up sometimes, but shes really good.

It is, it's missing the actual higher pitch that plays above the one in this video...
Weird, I hope it's a mistake. The mix he came out to on monday was epic.

Yeah I hope its a mistake too. I thought it was the headphones I was using at first not properly playing Stereo sound or something. The one on Raw was just so good it was Perfect! This version, not so much.

Oh dear lord, why did I have to say that. Why why why. I take it back! Please don't let it be true.

If you don't recognize the new NXT Champion... good.

**Vagrant** · 2013-05-24 13:23

of all the great talent they have in NXT they put the belt on him? Hopefully it just because they plan to leave him down there after his brief run in January fell flat.

**AidenCarby** · 2013-05-24 13:40

Who is that lol

**Doombear** · 2013-05-24 15:15

I can't even bring myself to type the name, but it kinda rhymes with No Talents.

Degenxerate · 2013-05-24 15:45

Yeah I found him pretty boring. I can't really remember any of his matches other than his slight feud with Wade Barrett but he always came across as boring to me.

Don't disparage the greatest WCW hardcore champion of all time!!!

**Exoduso** · 2013-05-24 18:17

Is Langston really a face on NXT?

**Vagrant** · 2013-05-24 19:46

Yep he been a face the whole time on NXT though his gimmick could be considered heelish as he still continues to kick the crap out of opponents post-match.
