Norv Fernum!

yeah, the show isn't very good. I don't like a lot of the roster, not really a fan of Rockness Monsters, can't stand Ray Rojas, etc. Lots of the guys they use are indie-rific. I like Scorpio Sky, Pearce, Shaun Ricker before he left for NXT (did he debut yet?), looks like Human Tornado is coming in.

Vince is going to pop an epic boner if he ever lays eyes on Othello. "7 foot" jacked up savage negro.

Championship Wrestling from Hollywood is thuper Indie. The dudes they use are definitely super Indie. The broadcast comes off very 80's Crockett in the wrong ways.

I think its cool they get TV time and they put their shit up on Youtube with regularity, so I won't hate, but it is super Indie all around. Whenever I've watched their episodes, they usually give their matches time, even though the guys aren't super talented and the matches aren't often very good. Usually run about an hour, you'll get 3-4 matches and plenty of promo time.

There are some things to like, but there isn't a ton for me to tune in to regularly.

I am disappoint

John what? and Eric Pittman?

[SuperKevin]

It was John Cahill and Eric Philbin

John Cahill & Eric Philbin

[SuperKevin]

The crowd loved them and they got a ton of offense against the tag champs. Davey probably made people mad by doing the wolf howl and diving headbutt though

Super awkward new round of NXT promos https://archive.org/details/NXTPrese...lls-11-19-2013

I can't believe WWE allows those to leak. I'm embarrassed for these people

What the hell is Becky Lynch doing?

I felt bad for the Swedish manwoman, it was pretty much her first day.

After seeing Solomon Crowe, I wish Joey Splashwater wasn't a hoax

I'm curious to know if anyone in the history of wrestling every improved themselves in any way by doing this shit or the shit they do in the Performance Center in general.

I dunno when the WWE thought they could change the time honored way wrestlers improved...by travelings and actually working...this self-contained Wrestling University seems like a sure fire way of producing some real shit.

With that said, I can't get enough of Simon Gotch.

It really does come off awkward & unnatural.

There is a noticeable difference between the people on the roster from the "outside", and the people who are entirely products of the WWE. I think as the years pass, your going to have a roster full of in house produced Darren Young's & JoJo's and a serious lack of world traveled pros.

I don't know if you noticed in the first clip, there is a shot of Dave Taylor, and he has this look on his face like "what the fuck is this shit, let's just get in the ring and let me stretch these fools for a few hours".

I think the "Performance Center" (by the way, that name really irks me...they have to put their own spin on everything...it can't just be the "WWE Training School" or something similar, that's too "wrasslin" like) should really just be in ring. Since they don't like wrestling promos anyway and want these people to be B-level actors, send them to legitimate acting schools for the other stuff, as the training will be a thousand percent better than Dave Taylor & Byron Whateverhisnameis overseeing this cheesy shit.
