Well, to be fair to basically all WWE talent as of now it may not be their fault the on screen characters suck, are boring, etc. This may not be the right way to word it so apologies, but the current product is similar as to why WWF/E floundered in the early to mid 90s and why WCW took over. I've probably posted this before, and not like Vince would ever watch this video, but Vince I give you (ff to 0:45):

**Krandor** · 2015-01-13 23:23

It's honestly sad watching the Monday Night Wars stuff and seeing them talk about everything they got right/wrong, and seeing the company go into the same pitfalls. But without any real competition, it doesn't fucking matter how shitty the product they're putting out is because the average fan won't be able to find an alternative.

**Xno Kappa** · 2015-01-13 23:41

Which is a shame because I feel the roster has an incredible depth of talent at the moment.

**Lucavi** · 2015-01-13 23:46

Product should get a lot better once Vince dies, and this is the first time I've ever actually had those words come out of my head. Not too happy about it but with him getting this old and stubborn and having this much power not over finances or anything, but over what comes out of individual wrestler's mouths... he just needs to sit down, but he never will until he's staring up at the grass.

And this is coming from a guy who loved his black wifebeater-wearing Vinnie.

Complete match listing for the 13 NJPW episodes on AXS were released according to the wrestling observer. It even includes Prince Devitt in action before he became Finn Balor. And in addition Jeff Jarrett and GFW are already in negotiations with NJPW again to bring Invasion Attack 2015 to the US PPV market with Ross and Striker back on commentary but this time doing it recorded in the studio as opposed to live in the arena.

Spoiler: show

So Main Event has been removed from WWE Network because the UK launch of the network would cause a conflict with SkyTV, and they apparently don't have a way to region lock the content. For fuck's sake, this company...

Should still be available to watch on Hulu in the US, though.

**Krandor** · 2015-01-14 20:35

Like future episodes? I just watched the one from this week earlier today. Well, the last match at least, which was a really good match (New Day vs Cesaro/Kidd/Rose) you should watch if you get a chance

**Melena** · 2015-01-15 12:24

Only thing that really bugs me about the Uso's is Jay (think it's Jay) wearing the damn title belt around his neck. For fucks sake, either wear it around your waist or drape it over your shoulder. I've always hated it when the champion hangs it around the neck like a fucking necklace.

Wow that blows. I would assume that's something they're going to address ASAP because they're always promoting Main Event on Raw for the network.

**Vagrant** · 2015-01-15 16:25

Tough Enough is reportedly coming back for a new season surprisingly on USA and not the WWE network. No word on who is going to be judging this time around but hopefully USA has less input into who the competitors are this time.

**Vagrant** · 2015-01-15 20:35

NXT Takeover returns February 11th. Card should be announced by the end of the night as they are doing their tapings for the next month. Would expect the main event to be either Zayn vs. Owens or Zayn vs. Owens vs. Neville for the title in what would probably be Neville's last big program with NXT.

Card so far with spoilers from the tapings

Spoiler: show

I was reading through a review of a Curt Hawkins shoot interview and got a nice laugh. Curt was recalling an instance where everyone came to a talent meeting, and Michael Tarver asked Vince a question. Vince started his reply with, "That's an excellent question, Shelton." loooooooooool

**Krandor** · 2015-01-15 23:05

It's mentioned in Vagrant's spoilers, but big big spoiler from NXT Tapings.

Spoiler: show

**Vagrant** · 2015-01-16 00:30

Yeah that is definitely going to be one to see. Disappointed it didn't make the special but the one that did is a nice substitute so can't complain.

**Snprphnx** · 2015-01-16 20:36

WWE has confirmed Kevin Nash for the show on Monday. Get the quad jokes ready.
