I always assumed the same with Joe. The guy's the best he's been since his RoH days and is great on NXT, but he's got no place on the main show.

Pretty sure Nakamura is being paid actual good money so he is gonna be on his way to the main roster eventually
Well when your killed weekly on TV you can only sustain a certain amount of heat with promos. Wins and losses do matter or else Cena wouldn't be so unbeatable.
Yeah it's completely shitting itself for me as well.
Oh indies.
EDIT: I'm in but the show hasn't started yet and the stream is buffering a lot hrmmm
Yeah I couldn't even access wwnlive.com for a while there, but it looks like it's up and running now. Huzzah!

About to have dinner with Dave Meltzer.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The event is sold out and was sold out like 3 weeks ago.
Nakamura is being paid what Meltzer calls "main event money" and he said that he would be surprised if Nakamura was left in NXT for any significant length of time.
Stream is constantly stuttering/buffering for me. Hope it clears up.

Love that man.
Yeah that's exactly what I'm experiencing as well.

Joe will be up on the main roster sooner or later. His deal started as an NXT exclusive one, but they love his work so much and his merch is apparently selling really well, so that changed. Asuka was signed for NXT only and there's no indication that has changed, but nothing is set in stone as we;ve seen with Joe.
The show is legit sold out, or basically close to it. It's the WM brand that sells at this point.

There is absolutely zero chance that Nakamura doesn't end up on the main roster. He's making way, way too much money to stay in NXT.
Fixed for me now! Godbless iPPV.

I didn't know the show was sold out or even close. I'm legit shook
First time Eva won't be the worst wrestler of a match.
It was working okay for a bit there, but now it's back to garbo. You jinxed it!! IT WAS YOU!!!!! xD
Yeah holy shit as soon as I posted it immediately went bad. At least we got the opening brawl uninterrupted.

I'm not sure if I'm more excited for going to NXT Takeover or Kaiju Big Battel tonight.
Just got this email through. Will let you know what he says in a moment:
Haha, it's a brief thank you and commercial for upcoming content on the Network and the video breaks halfway through.
Tried three times and it gets stuck at the exact same point then skips ahead fifteen seconds to the last few seconds of the video.
*slow clap*

From Gabe's twitter:
"Working on issue now. Apologies. Thanks for keeping me informed."

Yeah it's basically The Superbowl now. Those tickets are going to sell out regardless of the card and that's a bad thing for us wrestling fans because they can have a shit v a dirty toilet for the wwe whc and still make a ton a money(this sounds like something Cornette would say.).
I live the big stadium presence but part of me still wants another Mania in MSG. It'll sell out no doubt but they won't earn much as they would doing football stadiums.

Guys I'm actually hype for the New Day match., This is Xavier's EVO moment. Any chance of him appearing as a video game character?
He seems pretty great so far. I've never seen him wrestle before. Happy the stream's fixed for the time being.

So the big stunt likely involves something from doc oc and the hell in a cell, me thinks.

How many seats does MSG have, 20,000? They could match a football stadium if they sold tickets at an average of $500-600.... It'd be interesting to see if that would actually pan out for them.

The rate at which hes improving is crazy. Hes been at it for a year or so and hes already pretty good.

The capacity for wrestling is just barely 19k lol.
I've never looked at the price for shit seats at a Knicks game but a friend of mine said even they are a pretty penny. So if you want to inflate prices due to the history of that one particular arena, I think it's justified. It's the most famous arena in the world and it'll still sell out. It's one thing to just be at WrestleMania, it's another thing to be at WrestleMania inside of Madison Square Garden.
Orndorff is such a weird enigma to me.

I'm slightly concerned about Shane dying in the ring doing some kind of insane person stunt in front of millions on TV

Lana hasn't had a televised match yet, unless I missed one. Eva, meanwhile, has been in NXT for a long time and still sucks. So how bad could Lana possibly be in comparison?
Well I do still have Miis of the New Day that I made...

Weird finish to an ok match, I guess the rivalry is going to continue.
