WWE looking at networks for NXT?:
According to Jim Ross WWE are looking to air the NXT developmental show on a national network alongside other WWE programming. Currently the show only airs internationally and locally in Florida.

The original rationale was that the show should only be localized because it’s a testing ground for future stars and does not represent the wider product. For whatever reason the company have changed their minds.

Effectively this would redefine what it means to be in developmental. A lower card star that wrestles on Superstars for example would be getting just as much exposure as the rookies.

Here it is for those that missed it…

Foley continued…“A few years ago, they started dramatically increasing the time and effort that goes into these productions, and it’s really apparent here. It just blows the A&E Biography piece away – and the extras are just great; stuff that anyone who really likes me will want to have in their collection. So many interviews with people who played a pivotal role in my life and career, including Terry Funk, Dominec DeNucci, Shane Douglas, Arn Anderson, Michael Hayes, Mike Rotunda, Vader (you’ll love the Vader/Cactus stuff) Kevin Sullivan, @HeymanHustle, @TheRock, family members, childhood friends, and some of today’s top superstars. The on-sale date in the US is April 16th, and April 22 in the UK. I will make sure to give you all the pre-sale and sale info as it comes to me.”
