Has the Hideo documentary part of last night's NXT been uploaded independently anywhere? I can only find the WWE 2 minute version on their YouTube channel. Would love to watch it again. Your best bet is on the Network for only...  WWE targets anyone on Youtube who uploads their content without their consent. |

Interesting idea. But considering Balor works the same style either way, the look is really the only difference. I dont think the announcers should make a big deal about the paint, outside of him adding a special treat to whatever event he busts it out at. I'm pretty sure that rumor was nothing more than just a rumor. That rumor was also attached to the weekend of May 15 and 16 I think. And the arena has an MMA show on the 16th now. In addition, considering NXT just did like 7000 people, even if it was at WM, I am thinking they are gonna wanna use something bigger. NXT might not be a show with Cena, Orton, etc. but its still WWE owned. I cant imagine WWE wanting to run in a dump like the Arena. Have you been to the arena since it reopened? Its really not that bad anymore and MUCH bigger, bigger then both places they ran in Ohio by the looks of those shows. Plus they ran the arena before with main roster stars, why not run NXT there? I believe the last I was in the arena was 2 years ago. I cant comment on the Columbus show, but I VERY much doubt its bigger than Agora. Even if it is, those shows were BEFORE their recent WM show. I think WWE wants something bigger. I cant see how the arena is bigger now that its gonna hold 5000-10,000 people.....something I am sure WWE is expecting to draw. I dont remember them running the arena with main roster stars. |

They did an ECW vs. WWE show there if i remember correctly and trust me the arena is WAY bigger now. I'd say it can easily fit 2,500 maybe more depending on the set up but there is much more room now then there was when it closed in 2012. |

Just watched this week's show. I'm really glad they showed off the tournament as all of the matches were fantastic. I absolutely loved the Itami doc. The whole thing with his family and his emotions around Mania, plus the respect from all the other guys was great. I also loved them talking about him hitting the GTS. I really hope they transition to that being his regular finisher now. It might be an issue on the main roster, but if they put over him originating it, he should be ok. The NXT fans mostly know it's his, so that's not a problem now.  Next week is Zayn vs. Rhyno, right? I'm looking forward to that one. I wonder how long it is until the next taping. |

Problem is....it still looks like a dump. Im sure they didnt blow up the entire block. Bottom line, I would EASILY goto this show at the arena, but I think they are better suited for Licouras. |

I honestly did not think about that, the Liacouras Center would be a better option. Im just a sucker for the ECW arena admittedly. Any idea how many people the Armory holds for ROH shows? |

For some reason their airing the episodes taped on February 18th out of sequence. The last two matches taped (Sasha Banks/Alexa Bliss and Kevin Owens/Finn Bálor) ended up being the first two match to be aired. The next round of taping's will be taped on April 23rd. |

I dont but I would think the Armory, again while it has charm that Liacouras does not, would not be sufficient for a WWE run show. I think they want NXT to viewed more upscale, eventhough their FL house shows are drawing 300-500 people. |

Since we are on the subject of NXT house shows, I read the WWE is looking to hold an NXT house show at the Manhattan Center. I assume to tie into the SummerSlam activities going on in New York City.

The WWE aren't stupid they know running NXT in places like Phily, NYC, Chicago, etc is money waiting to be claimed. |

I heard the same. I hope so. I'll goto the NXT house show and skip SS.

King Bálor (CM)™, the latest I've read the WWE is seemingly against doing NXT house show(s) at the former ECW Arena. Therefore, nothing is definite as of right now. We shall wait and see. Now should day hold one here in New York City, the Hammerstein Ballroom makes more sense. They could draw a bigger gate there as opposed to the Grand Ballroom.

Hammerstein fits more of what WWE is looking to run....but its ABSURDLY expensive to run there. I suspect NXT tix to be twice as much as they were for Ohio. |

Just finished watching this week's NXT and thought it was good especially the piece on Hideo Itami.

It is why ROH moved to Terminal 5 (the former Mirage Night Club). Holding events in Manhattan are becoming more and more expensive. There aren't a wole lot of venues the WWE can make a profit from. Unless if the WWE wants to risk holding a house show outdoors, MCU Park in Coney Island is their best option. |

Holding consistent outdoor shows is BAD for business. Once in awhile for something special is fine, but the weather can be a bitch. |

By late-August, the weather begins to cool down in New York City. |

I would LOVE if NXT ran MCU, but like you said NYC weather can be a bitch. June-August is pretty good for us, the rest of the year has been a nightmare, especially in recent years. |
