I was so excited when I saw this earlier this week. It's an amazing idea and gives me another hour of solid wrestling to pack into my week. As long as the storylines are good I'll definitely watch it. I work 8 hour shifts at a desk. It's crazy to think my job boils down to about 2 hours of actual security job functions and 6 hours of catching up on RAW SD NXT and 205 Live
With the CW and now this new belt you HAVE to believe the MASTER PLAN is to someday put it all on RAW or SD. While it being on its own show is better for the writers I'm sure the talent wants the exposure of Television. Live Television time to wrestlers is like crack cocaine. RAW is doing the CW division a service by still giving them 2 matches on RAW and I hope that continues.
This tourney is 16 competitors so I wonder if it'll be just like the CWC and the guys who are available and have a solid showing get NXT deals. Also have to wonder about the state of NXT. It seems like the hub of new wrestlers. It's almost getting to a point where it's becoming a more desirable destination than RAW or SD. Wonder how Vince is gonna navigate that situation.
There's starting to become a running joke with the internet fan base that refers to getting called up to the main roster as getting called down to the main roster instead.
