  • Holy crap does tonight's WOR open with the bleakest possible NXT news. Nothing that will shock anyone based on this week but Dave clearly has first-hand details he didn't yesterday and...oh boy.
  • Dave says HHH and HBK did not pick the NXT cuts. Vince, Prichard and Laurenaitis did. NXT lost the war and they're going to change, back toward an older style of development. Big guys, young guys
  • Dave says there are divisive opinions about wrestling among the people in WWE and this is who has Vince's ear this week. They're going back to pre-fighting AEW, pre-"Let's out indie the indies" NXT, Dave says the Curtis Axel era of NXT
  • Dave was given exact wording, doesn't say from who but seems like a company source or memo. Reads it off. "No more midgets. No one starting in their 30s. They want people who can be box office attractions and main characters."
  • To be clear, that quoted part in the previous tweet is the thing from a source Dave read off. The LITERAL WORDING was "No more midgets". WOO WE'RE TURNING THE CLOCKS BACK 20 YEARS BABY.
  • Dave notes there will always be exceptions to the rule, like how WWE still wants to keep Adam Cole, who is in fact not tall.
  • As for Adam Cole, Dave assumes part of the meeting they had with him Friday at Smackdown was to offer her a main roster spot if he stays. Main brand writers have been told to come up with storyline ideas for him.

I remember Totalbiscuit was a fan of NXT and said it was better than the normal WWE

Vince seems like he wants people to stop watching WWE in general.

NXT has been trash for about 2-3 years now.

Okay a lot of people will disagree with this but NXT is a for niche crowd base. Like the people who love NXT, really love it. And I have nothing bad to say about them loving it. However most people don't care. If NXT was as good as the fans make it out to be ,it would do better numbers .

It's funny Vince is so hung up on height and "attractions." McGregor was a midget too, and one if the biggest stars around. It's not about height, it's about letting your talent show personality and not having total dog shit stories and booking.

I guess it really doesn't matter how NXT operates. Either way, they'll bring someone onto the main roster and do nothing with them.
