NXT Rebranded

NXT Re-deemes itself


NXT has finally found a new way to differenciate itself from the ongoing NXT:Redemption format that had no level of consistency.

Now, NXT are currently filming a sixth series, with talent from FCW, at Full Sail University's stomping ground, in Winter Park, Florida.



'JR' Jim Ross has been granted the announcing duties. He also wrote on his blog at JR'sBarBq - “The rebranding of NXT at Full Sail University on Thursday night was exciting. It’s great to be provided the opportunity to help with any new, WWE venture especially one that will help facilitate young talents the opportunity to move to the main WWE roster perhaps a little faster."

William Regal, who has been announcing on NXT:Redemption, rather well, joins Ross.

The pairing are correct, given WWE's level of broadcasting candidates and pairings. These two bounce of one another, and that is the key to any broadcast success.

WWE plan to film shows, and their rehearsals, back to back instantly, then space out the broadcasting.

It is encouraging to see WWE take an interest in educational aspects, but, is it all for show? With Ashley Flair gaining a contract while having a B.A Degree (she isn't the only one) and The Wrestling Observer Newsletter gaining the wrong information on FCW closing as a result of the NXT rebranding - click here -  Inaccurate 'Journalists' Reporting Demise of FCW , will WWE actually make progress with the new concept. The designing of branding seems steadfast, though we will have to wait and see if the show truly delivers.

Dusty Rhodes is expected to be the General Manager of the show.


What makes it a success, will be that WWE dont value the show as lowly, when the likes of Ambrose and Rollins need to be made from this, with the key aspects on commentary also (Regal and JR can only do so much to get people across well.)

Inaccurate ‘Journalists’ reporting demise of FCW/WWE

Inaccurate ‘Journalists’ reporting 
demise of FCW/WWE



Over the course of the last week or two, many reports ignited the internet stating that WWE’s developmental wrestling territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) would be closed down. Other reports claimed that WWE would pull out of the consortium between the two.



One week later, earlier this past week, WWE quickly re-informed the world that this was not the case and are very happy to be fluently operating with the territory in affiliation with  the Bright House Network, and founder Steve Keirn, in 2007.

WWE went out of its way to acquire "Claudio Castagnoli",
among others to strengthen its position


What have we learned from this? Once again, the internet marks and trolls jumped on the news without doing any research and knowing their points they were writing about, because they simply don’t understand, watch or have insider knowledge to gain these ‘exclusives’ and just wish to shout about it in their disgraceful attempts at journalism, where they only choose to write to seem like they know something, have a voice and think they can do what someone else can.

Seth Rollins

The fact is a random ‘fan’ cannot do what a ‘professional’ can. With numerous plagiarisers also stealing content to adapt their voices to make them sound unique, which then becomes all the same, embarrasses the ‘writer/s’ in question.

Before you write an opinon that is actually only a statement, perhaps you should think before writing. If you do not know something on the subject, and have never watched or understood the concept/s then do not approach or tackle it. You will be out of your depth.

Aiming to prove you can stand among the rest of the world saying the same point with your over indulgent opinion makes you irrelevant and inconsistent.  Therefore, you have no credibility and no one will regard your written ‘work’ as anything important and when seeing your name, will instantly switch off, rather than reading this “douchebag” riddled with inaccuracy.

Ironically, there's a Max in there :)
He's actually good, too!


You also cannot call yourself a wrestling journalist, because, for one Max Waltham coined it with credibility, (as being one) though others, as usual, feel they need to say their own opinion which cannot stand up to any credible thought process. You are not a wrestling journalist just because you have a cheap platform to write a couple of words that are just playground chitter chatter, or showing posts of photoshops, as some form of 'article' and making no cohesive reasoning as to why they are "hilarious" from cheap interns who haven't learned a thing.

It also takes years to learn true journalism. It is highly unlikely you will ever understand what is paramount to this industry. Until you do, you should not attempt to waste you time calling yourself anything near it, as you disgrace yourself, and the industry, and your opinion pieces then detract from the wrestling business, which also de-habilitates the wrestling superstars you crave to excel or be pushed by company bosses.

As always, do not plagiarise any content that is not yours, or to take points and aim to adapt them to your “style” (which you don’t have, hence stealing), and form your own mind in a world of mindless subordinates.

Once again, it is obvious, not to read the “Dirt Sheets” and believe anything you hear from no-one. Certain names have esteemed value, and have noted who is at the top of their game, despite not ‘liking’ them.

FCW Arena


You don’t have to like certain people, but it is those people with noteworthy value, whom make the valid points that are understood cogently. By the masses. One example being WWE reading Wrestling Wonders and adding parts of the written word to reshape their organisation for a brighter prospect to wrestling audiences.

Even the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, “got it wrong,” severely undermining its credibility. How embarrassing.

WWE gains Super (Chris) Hero

Chris Hero 
gains WWE Contract


Christopher Spradlin, aka Chris Hero has signed a new contract with WWE. He currently resides in its developmental training territory, Florida Championship Wrestling.  (FCW)

Spradlin’s options were still open with the corporation, though has had to wait longer than anticipated as an act of caution. After recent suspensions, WWE, concerned after Hero’s high levels of testosterone, waited for official paperwork before handing their papers to Hero for the bottom signature.

Did You Know?...  Men can produce 200 mls of sperm as the highest  and is extremely rare to do so. The average and vast majority of man  produces 60-80 mils at best. Max Waltham can produce 120mls. Doctors were perplexed! Testosterone can be an intriguing thing, you know? A fertile machine available for you. So, who wants my baby?!

Hero currently works under the name of Kassius Ohno, which is a rather absurd name for any newcomer to try and develop onto. WWE should re-name him as instantly as it can to protect its possible stars, regardless of whether it is in the developmental regions away from TV.


Ohno joins Antonio Cesaro, former tag partner Claudio Castagnoli, where both were excellent as the Kings of Wrestling, which helped get them noticed also.



We would be interested to see singles and tag participation from both in later stages of call ups, once WWE can think of strong character development storylines on its predominant brands.

31 year old Hero will also be recognised from the independent circuit by many followers, whom will remember him most for his roles with the Ring of Honor promotion.


Whilst waiting for his time, he briefly returned to the annual Ring of Honor December PPV , Final Battle in 2011, where he fought Roderick Strong.
