TONY KHAN STINKS! ("WBD OWNS A PERCENTAGE OF AEW." - DAVE MELTZER; RICKY STARKS HOSTAGE TIL SUMMER 2025; DYNAMITE NO MILLION WATCH: 638 DAYS/91 WEEKS)

Imagine doing a self pat on the back with beating a developmental, instead of keeping the focus energy into making a proper alternative.

Funny style shyt, but Vince was a complete idiot for having State Property going up against Nas Ala putting NXT on Wednesdays at the time the product was scorching hot.

WWE shifting from floating it as the 3rd brand back to developmental just about immediately was a chef’s kiss of a marketing strategy.

It wasn't a developmental at the time, WWE was calling it the 3rd brand and they made point to have NXT dominate on a PPV. oochie wally or one mic

Oh how the tables have turned

Trips said it best

Congratulations you beat our developmental brand

Naw we not doing that LMAO. I'll take your word on it. Cheers mate, watching Rugrats at the moment

Hnmmmmmmmm

Why can't the third brand also be developmental?

Beating a rebuilding team isn't the same as beating the Chiefs.

I mean its a weird catch 22. NXT had a legit roster of hungry Indie dudes, going against a new promotion with a mixture of seasoned and indie dudes. Both were booked with workrate in mind, but one was brand new in the game going against a outdated machine.

On the real, the whole thing was stupid then and now. Vince thinking that the "competition" was a threat enough to throw NXT on a timeframe as Dynamite, instead of focusing on his own territory.

Along with Dub trying to beat the chest and knuckle drag too fukking early

NXT was already on Wednesday nights before AEW obviously Vince was more than happy to go head to head with AEW but that was already that night and he'd be foolish to not put NXT on USA and give them a national TV exposure instead of just keeping it on the WWE Network

I swear NXT was on Tuesday . Brain foggy as hell with so much going on in the wrasslin world. Both brands were goofy as hell regardless, because NXT was on a crazy decline with UE being played the hell out, Lee moving onto Raw, and Covid eventually crushing the buildings. I wonder if the pandemic never happened, what would have been the case for both promotions going head to head. Would it continue, or have the same fate of Vince going on a war path with the deavors.

COVID definitely caused a ton of the cuts because they wanted to present good financials to the shareholders and cutting millions of salary was an easy way to do it.

NXT needed a shake-up regardless because the indies were getting tapped out and they stopped developing characters the same after Dusty died tbh

NXT 2.0 was probably the last smart move Vince made for WWE when its all said and done

Giving Hicklebottom the book for him to go to hood spots, pubs, and strip clubs to get the roster just

NXT is what every roster would look like if wrestling were real. Tons of athletic black folks

So we are to believe that WBD, a publicly traded company, has chosen to break regulatory obligations and disclosure in an effort to hide a stake in another company?

It'd actually be a good thing for TK if he did have some other investors come in but WBD will have to disclose that information if the company itself is buying in. I don't see any Hollywood insiders reporting this yet.
