What an AEW "debut" for you! I hope you have an AMAZING time, BWBFF! 

Also, the Varsity Blondes give off an 80's/early 90's feeling that I think is really cool! Must be the hair. 

Gee, it couldn't be because it looks like Pillman Sr and Kerry Von Erich raided the Steiners wardrobes.

Nope. It's the hair.

I've found that fans have an odd obsession with wrestlers hairstyles.

Well yeah? Hair vs hair matches wouldn't matter a whole lot if they didn't.

This is just something I notice on other wrestling forums.

It's too bad when you find a forum that caters to something you like (Wrestling in this case.) but then it doesn't feel like a "safe" place for

you to share your opinions.

Sadly facebook killed off most wrestling forums. Reddit brought them back to an extent, but it still isn't the same.

2766 days we've waited.

 

AEW posted a behind the scenes video of the guys in the production truck as Punk's return was going on and it was insane! 

I know the wrestlers go through a lot but I can only imagine how the people working "around" them must feel. 

[Denim&Venöm 16,535]

And a sampling of the adventure.

Awesome!

I'm SO HAPPY to see your AEW dream has finally been realized after everything that happened last time.

I hope you had an AMAZING experience, BWBFF!

Wasn't that supposed to be an all-female wrestling show?

 Ah, it was one of those NXT Takeover Saturday/*Insert "big four" WWE PPV Sunday* type of deals. Thank You for clearing that up, BWBFF.

Eh, I'd say it's more like the two night specials ROH used to do. Lie how'd they'd make their tournaments two night events. We were supposed to get the anniversary show and Past vs. Present back to back last year along with the Pure title tournament both nights.

That sounds like a REALLY cool concept for a wrestling show.

Too bad WWE wouldn't let their ex-RoH wrestlers participate while, AEW probably would.

Strangely, the forbidden door is still closed between ROH & AEW. The NJPW partnership is still on the mend and the CMLL deal imploded, though that's more due to CMLL itself imploding. Maybe it's cause ROH has been taking Covid precautions the most seriously out of all the North American feds and haven't left Baltimore in a year. Only had their first show with fans back in June. But yeah it's kinda odd they've been left out.

My favorite SmackDown vs. Raw game of all-time. I used to play as Divas and have them face super heavyweights to give myself a challenge.

So NXT is getting a rebranding. It'll now be overseen by Vince and Prichard. The focus will be on looking for big, charismatic 20 somethings over 6' 3". So basically it's becoming OVW circa 2001. 

Here's the new Logo.

Thank goodness!

Usually, I would be against this sort of thing but we got stars like Batista, John Cena and Randy Orton from OVW in the early 2000's so ANYTHING

would be better than the mostly forgettable/uninteresting crop of NXT wrestlers (IMO.) that I see nowadays.

I'd like this logo more if it was associated with any other promotion. It just doesn't feel like a WWE logo to me.

You do realize that for every Batista, we got a Heidenreich, a Nathan Jones, a Snitsky, a Matt Morgan, a Chris Masters, a Ezekiel Jackson and a Bobby Lashley? Yeah, some of those guys would be good eventually, But all were brought up long before they were. I think this NXT is gonna give these guys the bare minimum before they're called up. We're already seeing it with Amos and Azeze. Though the reason most of the current NXT roster are "forgettable" is because they've been sabotaged on the main roster. See these guys in PWG, ROH or Impact and you'll Change your tune. 

And yeah, lots of folks called it out cause it didn't feel WWE. But it was confirmed.

No surprise to me since, that's what WWE seems to do with all of the NXT talent.

Raw and SmackDown both have a specific color associated with them so, why did they decide to go with a "party-ish" looking logo for NXT?
