Bahahahahahaha is this a serious comment?

If so, you're waaaaay off the mark.
He's an attention seeker, it's to be expected.

Oh Vince

Randomly refreshing Ticketmaster on the NXT Takeover page and I've ended up with a ticket for Dallas!

I could actually cry!
Congratulations mate. You'll be exhausted by the end of that weekend.

I can see the Raw after Mania being a particularly good one this year.

Roadblock is 1am here? Damn had hoped it would be a 8pm start and watch it at a proper time for once.

Why would WWE put on a PPV (sorry, "live special") at 2 in the afternoon?

Any chance Ambrose leaves with the title? It would shake up a so far lacklustre Mania...

HHH dropping the title at a glorified House show? Won't happen.

Especially not when it was announced last week that Ambrose is facing Brock in a Street Fight at Mania.

Can't see why you are surprised by that. And can't see why they would ever do that when it wouldn't make sense in the country they are situated for the event

HHH doesn't need the title and Reigns is still injured. How can you promote the Main Event of Mania without one of the wrestlers on TV?

Do you not think WWE have a Plan B?

HHH drops the title, Ambrose fans are happy (and it makes up for Fastlane.)

Main Event of Mania changed to a three way between Ambrose, Lesnar and Reigns. Boom.

But Reigns is not injured. They are choosing (badly) to keep him off TV.

Nothing will change tonight as it really is just a house show.

I thought he had surgery on his septum and it hasn't healed properly?

He may not be 100% cleared to wrestle but he is showing no signs of surgery now and has been promoting WM32 in the week.

No excuse not to have him at the last Raw or appear tonight. He is not even due to appear this Monday either.

Despite not being billed for tonight or Monday, I do think we will see him at Roadblock. Likely to make the save for Ambrose and score him some cheap pops

Yeah I suggested that a few days ago but in a ideal world I would like to see Ambrose win the World Title then have Reigns return and beat down Ambrose hard. Giving Reigns the heel turn he desperately needs.

The chance of that happening though...0000.1%

That link just shows how out of touch Vince is.

It would do if NXT was making money. Which doesn't seem to be the case. It's being subsidised by its parent.

Fantasy booking at its best!

(I'd love for that to happen, too.)

Vince is saying he doesn't see anybody in NXT as a "money" guy, not that NXT isn't profitable.

He's wrong though, there are a fair few NXT guys who will be big players for WWE in the future.

Would be nice and would setup the triple threat match nicely at WM

Yet no doubt if Reigns does appear he will just do the predicable and save Ambrose for cheap cheers...although he will still be booed.

The IWC would literally soil their underwear if Ambrose walked (or limped, after HHH kicks several shades of brown stuff out of him) out tonight with the belt, therefore it's NOT happening, WWE doesn't care what the IWC wants.

But Vince isn't actually saying anything is he? Dave Meltzer is saying that Vince is saying. The title of the article is "Vince McMahon doesn't see NXT as a money brand". I probably should have read the whole thinge but when I saw it's another Meltzer says Vince says he hates NXT article, I tend not to bother because it's just Meltzer pandering to what people want to believe anyway.

For what its worth, watching NXT I don't believe there is all that many money guys. You have a couple but I can't personally see the future main eventers to a level that a main eventer should be with the exception of a couple.

Thought that went without saying.

I'd expect a few debuts and returns and add proper writing (WWE normally can put the effort in on that Raw) and you've got a good Raw

It's like when Arsene Wenger signs an Ozil or a Sanchez and gets the Arsenal fans excited but then doesn't spend any more money to improve the team.

It's not like people haven't fought twice at Wrestlemania before.

It's an odd way to build a Mania feud to say the least where the two superstars involved are absent for 2 months of it. Not saying it can't be built that way but makes it rather clunky
