    Anyway, The Fiend, do you suppose that mask he wears will be a popular merch item say by Halloween?
    If I had a hat, I'd take it off for a quick bow.

    You think it's going to take that long?

    And because Meltzer changed the scale to ridiculous lengths and a 4 star match is now pretty lame.

    There has been some great wrestling this year. That much though? Don't make me guffaw.

    They didn't want to rush the storyline with Bryan/Rowan/Murphy.

    They wanted to soften up Foley's image. After the Cell Dive, he couldn't do as much physical stuff so they switched him to comedy.

    Bulldogs by a mile.

    Oh I've heard. I keep track of it, but saying that there is so much of it that you can't enjoy another good match is nonsense. There's no such thing as too much good wrestling.

    Bryan becoming some sort of Manson style cult leader? Yay or nay?

    Bruiser Brody - any recommendations? Just watched the Vice doc on him.

    Any wrestling book recommendations for someone who's read very little?

    What do you think of the NXT news? Is WWE scared of AEW?

    KB will probably be in a much better position to answer this than me but the fact that every NXT episode will be available to watch on the WWE Network via tape delay 24 hours later strikes me as though they're worried about AEW beating NXT in a head to head ratings showdown. After all, this means fans no longer really have to choose or flip back and forth between TNT and USA to see what's going on with each show, unless they just want to.

    NXT has the WWE brand behind it and USA is the biggest drawing network on Cable TV, has been consistently for years. The episode of NXT that was shown on USA during Christmas week last year drew somewhere around 850,000 viewers, which was quite good when you consider that NXT has never remotely had Raw or SmackDown level promotion or hype. AEW is brand new and while it may not have the brand recognition of WWE behind it, the top guys in the company have probably consists of 4 or 5 of the top 10 most talked about non-WWE wrestlers in all of wrestling for the past several years. They're backed by someoe even richer than Vince McMahon, so they don't really have to worry that much about being outspent but, at the same time, I don't think the Khans are going to just throw their money away on the basis of having a pissing contest between the two.

    So is WWE worried about AEW beating NXT? I think so but, at the same time, I think the same thing can be applied to AEW. Despite whatever nonsense Chris Jericho tries to sell during interviews, this is something of a "war" between two wrestling companies; it may not be personal in the same way as the Attitude Era was, at least for now, but it's still a ratings war. WWE doesn't lose wars, it'll lose battles sure but it's always won the war whether it was back during the territory days or when WCW and TNA tried to go head to head with them and that's intimidating, which is why I don't buy into the nonchalant attitude of some of the AEW brass.

    I want both to do well and I think it's important that people realize and accept that Vince will probably have much more involvement in NXT going forward. I'm not exactly crazy about it myself, so all we can do is hope. I also think that some people need to get over the fact that AEW isn't going to be some sort of glorious westler's paradise where no politics take place, where no decisions are based on money, where everyone gets a fair shot, where everyone always gets "used right" and everybody lives happily ever after.
