That was supposed to be part of the push behind his contract. That he could pretty much skip nxt.
Rumors though, but yeah, hope that's true.

Don't know much about Devitt outside of those awesome pics and that he's Irish. He's gonna be the next Hornswaggle* guy fella.
*Hornswaggle is basically a movie star now. He had a critically acclaimed performance in the latest Muppets movie where he sang AND danced. He also got to touch Tina Fey.
So it's just bitterness, like I said, to guys who weren't necessarily WWE made or made later comments on how poor the WWE runs things (Jericho, Foley).No, guys like HBK were not in it, that be stupid.
Regardless if that's how you feel, he made huge moments in that era of wrestling and pushed Hunter to the next level. Facing the likes of Rock and Foley makes that type of heel.Foley? Well he had to hang it up early but no one forced him to wrestle like that.
John Cena will be receiving a massive push going in to WrestleMania 21. John’s overall reputation is very good; he comes across as a nice guy that gets along with everyone, and doesn’t cause any problems. However, his shortcoming remains his in-ring work, which hasn’t progressed at the pace many had hoped.
Cena was always open about his need to improve his in-ring skills, however lately he hasn’t been taking part in in-ring workouts before shows very often. “He doesn’t train hard enough to get better,” says one WWE source. “He’s been told to step it up.”
In-ring workouts are common among rookies in the business and veterans tutoring them, Undertaker, Kurt Angle are usually involved in helping the less experienced wrestlers. Ricky Steamboat also has been helping lately.
Cena did take part in an in-ring workout before last week’s Smackdown taping in Little Rock, but wrestlers noted how he hadn’t been doing that often enough. “Once you get to this level,” says one wrestler, “the scrutiny goes up ten-fold. He wants to improve, but he should go in there and ask for suggestions and tips. He has to be doubling his efforts to improve at this point in order to avoid criticism from others.”
However, to Cena’s credit, he does have a good reputation for studying tapes of his matches when he gets home.
In a recent interview with the Daily News, Steve “Sting” Borden confirms he has been in talks with WWE. “It is true that we have spoken recently,” Borden tells the Daily News. But he also shoots down possibilities of signing by saying,” What kind of message does that send to the 5-6-7-8-9-10-year-old tuning in to see the Stinger and he has to see stuff like that?” While there is chance of Sting signing as long as he’s in a role that’s more family friendly, don’t expect it to happen anytime soon.
Ten million!

HHH one of the best heels of all time? Top 10, for sure. But he wasn't even the best heel of his era. Vince was.

* The original plan for the Randy Orton vs. Triple H match at Unforgiven was for Orton to walk away as the champion, and become a long-term champion. The reason behind the change is that WWE feels Orton can be more effective as a contender, rather then holding the title. Management feels that Orton is not over enough as a face to hold the World Title. The plan is to have him chase after the title and begin to build up fan support.

* Shane McMahon was not backstage at Unforgiven, which was surprising to many, because Shane attends all PPV’s and RAW events that follow them the next night. Many backstage like to keep a close eye on Shane, because it was believed for a long long time that Shane would be running the company by the ago of 40. However, more and more it looks as though his sister Stephanie and Triple H are looking like they will be running the company in the future. As of now, Stephanie has much more power than Shane as far as things go with the WWE at this point.
No.2 isn't so bad.

HHHEEL* Chris Jericho has been very vocal in the pre-RAW meetings lately and has said the wrestlers deserve credit for the business and strong ratings the RAW brand has received lately. He was later scolded for this as one wrestler stated, Triple H doesnt want anyone getting public credit for anything other than himself. Obviously, the political atmosphere in the RAW locker room remains strong as does HHHs influence.
Information sells that much huh?
Don't worry Bronson, I still recall that Okada cake review you're gonna do. lol
Shane is more like Vince Sr and Steph is more like Vince Jr
The whole "Win the WWE Title = Face of the Company" thing loses a lot of its value as part of a storyline if, in reality, Cena is still the guy doing all of the real 'company face' things.

Finally finished watching McMemphis...
Good times.
I just wish they'd actually try to elevate someone else into Cena's position and give someone else a shot. I still firmly believe that if someone else got the same amount of merchandising and pushing that Cena routinely gets they'd end up being the top seller of the company as well.
I'm wearing my YES hoodie! Pretty damn comfy.

embrace the wrestling
I'm wearing my YES hoodie, right here, at my new job Pretty damn comfy.
The "Everybody taps" shirt is still Bryan's best with the original YES as a close second.
Hopefully my memory will erase all the goat related merch they made for him. So bad.
If you have time, you should totally watch this Devitt match. It's a good showcase as to why he's awesome.

Thank you for this. Almost didn't watch when I realized it it was a triple threat match but glad I did. I know you sent this to me for Devitt, but the Asian was also great.
