Corey Graves is great. Honestly I just love NXT, it has everything I love about wrestling in it, well minus Eva Marie, but you take what you're given.

Graves is just awesome though; the right amount of douchiness without him putting himself over the talent in the ring.

Dave Meltzer has confirmed that the WWE has signed Kana! Holy shitballs! I've also heard that they may be signing Sarah Stock too. So an NXT roster of Bayley, KC Cassidy, Jessie McKay, Blue Pants, Kana, Athena and Sarah Stock could be on the cards. Wow. Between needing to give Natalya a team, because without one she can't do TV - heaven help us - and add some new faces, they are adding a ton of new talent. Kana, Sarah Stock, Nicole Matthews, Athena and, rumor has it, Ivelisse Velez is a hell of an infusion. Even if a couple of them end up as Nattie's minions, NXT will be insane.

I keep waiting for WWE to ruin NXT, the way they do everything else, but it just gets better and better. It used to be that I hated to see my favorite indy wrestlers get signed by WWE, but now I don't mind as much. Now I hate when they get promoted from NXT to the main roster.

Is Nicole Matthews rumoured to be going too? Hopefully not too soon is so... The Canadian Ninjas storyline is fascinating right now. But yeah NXT could be awesome if they get all of them. I still hope they pick of Nikki Storm and Shida also. Surely Nikki will be signed sooner rather than later right? I'm not even fussed about losing them women from Shimmer as there's so much talent out there and girls like Mia Yim, Candice LeRae, Kay Lee Ray, Nicole Savoy and Evie can move up the roster. But you're also right I dread when they get called up to Raw. I saw someone's signature on another forum that had pictures of the Shimmer logo next to the NXT one with the words "We didn't call it a revolution, we just called it wrestling" and it sums it all up perfectly. I hate that Steph is being given credit for something she had NOTHING to do with too.

I hope that, at the very least, she gets to stay long enough to finish off some storylines at the anniversary weekend. Stephanie has done so much to hurt women's wrestling that it is painful to see her get any credit for this "revolution". Her husband, yes, because he's given talented wrestlers a chance to shine in NXT, but not Stephanie. She's the reason the wrestlers from NXT - male and female - are getting buried on RAW. Even vets get buried - look at Natalya. She's off TV (and not happy about it), because the Divas are locked into the team concept, and she's not on one. You are either one of the nine team members, or you don't exist.

She's worked hard and she has a ton of charisma, but I don't think she's ready in the ring for a big spot on the main roster. She will be, but not yet.

I do think. Great athlete. Great gymnast. Shoddy wrestler with the personality of a coffee table who isn't close to ready.

It used to be that I hated to see my favorite indy wrestlers get signed by WWE, but now I don't mind as much. Now I hate when they get promoted from NXT to the main roster. You are correct, WWE always ruins what the fans want since 2001-2003 as far as I am concerned. Could never understand how WWE "fans", especially loudmouths that phone into wrestling blogtalk shows / podcasts would claim RAW was superior to the other WWE tv shows (including their version of ECW) or even TNA (2005-2008). Anyways, it could only take 2 months, but sometimes it was in one year, but whoever was in charge of storylines / appearances, destroyed the gathering momentum, to start something else. I am surprised it has not happened to NXT so far. But I expect it. Unless Triple H firmly can stop all the knuckleheads behind the scenes? I remember reading a looooong time ago, he was a fan of underground heavy metal, so will guess he also is a fan of indy wrestling too? He seems to understand what is cool and can mold something of his own, like ROH, Shimmer, ECW, old TNA, etc ?

I've been hearing rumours about a Paige heel turn on Charlotte. Honestly I would have been bothered about it (hell when she turned heel on AJ I was a bit miffed when all of her supposed 'fans' turned their backs on her, in character of course) but to be honest; I just want some sort of story, anything is better than the formula they have now.
To be honest I don't even mind if they keep Paige face and turn Charlotte heel (she's better as a heel anyway) maybe have them show how Charlotte is getting more arrogant and cocky since winning the Divas Championship. At this point I just want the Divas to show how talented they can be. If they can do it on NXT, a one hour show, then there is no excuse for not being able to do it on a three hour show.
