Scott: Let's skip the (overdue) pleasantries and get down to business. You and I both regularly watch NXT. I jumped back in on May 22, 2013 — the debut appearance of Sami Zayn. I'd like to say I'd been aware of some of the personalities before then, but I'll admit the Raw debuts of guys like Big E Langston and The Shield caught me off guard.
But now it's been 14 months of watching the show every week, and in that time the WWE Network launched, making possible the two NXT supershows. I didn't catch every NXT appearance of current Raw stars like the Wyatt Family, Bo Dallas or Paige, but I experienced enough to be invested in them as performers before they hit the main stage.
Some of the major players of the Sami Zayn era seem to be nearing the end of their NXT runs in preparation for a spotlight career. A flurry of confirmed signings of top international talent make it seem as if NXT will soon be shifting into a new focus, because as big as some of the new names are, it's hard to imagine WWE just inserting them into prime time storylines with no conditioning of a portion of the audience.
So now seems like the perfect time to take a look at the NXT roster, to break down who we think can succeed in the big picture, and who might be best to consider selling office supplies. Part of the discussion is space on the main roster (for example, it would seem Antonio Cesaro is ready for maximum exposure, but apparently the storytellers can't let his star shine at the expense of Roman Reigns), part of it is how the developmental act translates to the road show.
So where should we start?
• • •
David: Well, I hope to one day buy a Swingline stapler from Corey Graves, but that's neither here nor there. Let's start at the very top rung of the ladder that is NXT, which is fitting, since a ladder match is how Adrian Neville won the NXT Title in the first place. He spent the first portion of his time in NXT as a tag team wrestler, including two stints as NXT Tag Team Champion (with Oliver Grey and Corey Graves), but since that time has had a fantastic singles run, with matches against Zayn, Cesaro, Dallas and Tyson Kidd.
He seems poised to step up to Raw and Smackdown, which is, in my opinion, fantastic news. Between injuries and wrestlers who have recently been released, it seems like the ranks of the high flyers on the main roster have been diminished, while the ranks of wrestlers who provide a good contrast to those high flyers have been expanding. Neville has already had great matches with Cesaro, Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper, and I could see him working well with main roster stalwarts like Sheamus, Roman Reigns and, if he got the chance, John Cena.
The only obvious problem I see for Neville going forward is his verbal communication skills. He's definitely improved during his time in WWE, but he's still not great. As it is, I see him as a lock for a run with the Intercontinental or US Championships, but not sure how much further he can go.
• • •
Scott: It's far too early to say if a run with the NXT Title is an accurate predictor of eventual main roster success, but certainly someone sees big things for Neville or he wouldn't have stood victorious as the curtain dropped on NXT's first two supershows. I certainly enjoy Neville on NXT, but it's easy to see how he lacks the charisma of some of his colleagues. He has no discernible character (guy who jumps high?), and while I'm not pining for him to be repackaged into some sort of goofy gimmick, I'm predicting he's a flop if he shows up on Raw as more or less himself.
Perhaps he needs to follow the NXT path and come in as part of a tag team. It wouldn't be hard to find a better performer than Graves to team with, turn on and lose to Neville. One of the things WWE still needs to sort out is the hierarchy of its shows. Right now NXT is more important than Smackdown, since anything relevant from Smackdown is replayed (or flat out restaged) on Raw. No one advances their career based on Smackdown performances. (The same can be said of Superstars and Main Event).
Ideally someone like Neville could move up from NXT to one of the B, C or D shows and make a mark there. But the structure isn't in place for that right now. You either make waves on Raw (even if they're Bo Dalls-sized waves and not Shield/Wyatt tsunamis) or the at-large fanbase loses interest.
The guys you site as good Neville opponents are indeed worthy ring partners, but they're also all huge fan favorites, and Neville doesn't seem to have heel instincts. Maybe Neville's ascension could do for cruiserweights what we hope Paige (and eventually others) could do for the women's ranks. I'd have higher hopes for him as one of the guiding lights of something new — as Raw is in need of fresh ideas.
Speaking of the women, let's go to NXT's other top singles star, reining NXT Women's Champion Charlotte. I think the smart move is to keep her in training for a while to polish the rough edges a bit more, but there's certainly a temptation to bring up someone who, at her best, shames most of the current Raw females and also has the undeniable Flair legacy. Not to be morose, but the clock is ticking on the Nature Boy's relevance. What's your call on Charlotte — too soon or strike while the iron is hot?
• • •
David: When you say she shames most of the Raw Divas, I have to agree wholeheartedly. She is a better in-ring performer, and has shown at least flashes of talent in backstage vignettes, although she has been paired, mostly, with Sasha Banks, who, while a talented wrestler, could make Keanu Reeves look like Tom Hanks in comparison. To answer your direct question, they should strike while the iron is hot. I think she's ready to move up, and the connection to her famous father could be a good way to get her established on the main roster. Although, it also could be to her detriment. One of my worries with Charlotte is that when she gets to Raw, the creative team there, which is entirely different from the team at NXT, will see her as nothing but Ric Flair's tall, blonde daughter… which doesn't bode well for her in the long term.
Another issue with Charlotte is I'm not sure where she should be positioned on the card. We currently seem to have two sets of Divas. There are the ones who are on Total Divas, and the ones who are in the title picture. They've crossed paths recently, but really only to cement the Naomi/Cameron break-up/feud. While she hasn't appeared on Total Divas, she does have a connection to both Nattie (having defeated her for the NXT Women's Championship) and Summer Rae (members of the now defunct BFFs), which make her a natural choice for that group. However, I would argue her in ring skills warrant her being in the title picture with AJ Lee and Paige, but as I've said, I'm not sure the Raw creative team can look beyond the obvious.
Since we've started out with the champions, it seems only natural to discuss the current NXT Tag Team Champions: The Ascension. I've seen rumors that Viktor and Konnor are going to be called up sooner rather than later to feud with the Usos for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Have you heard these rumors, and how do you feel about the idea of NXT champions coming to Raw to immediately challenge for titles on the main roster? Does it say more about The Ascension, or more about the tag team situation on the main roster?
• • •
Scott: The Ascension puzzle me in a way. Not them specifically but tag teams in general. On one hand, they're as good a bet as anyone to contend for the Usos' belts — the prime alternative seems to be thrown-together teams like Rybaxel, since the Matadors apparently existed only for comedy and since the Rhodes brothers are in an endless vignette loop. On the other hand, there's always buzz about trying to build a tag division from the bottom up, and removing the Ascension from NXT leaves a giant void. None of the other NXT teams have been presented as serious competitors, and if they follow the Paige script and use the Ascension's departure as a way to create an eight-team tournament, well, are there really eight teams? Are there even four?
The good news for Konnor and Viktor is, unlike Charlotte, they can be repackaged. Not saying they need to be specifically, but Charlotte is always going to be Ric Flair's daughter, for better or for worse. They can't give her another character, there's already too much invested in her family name (for what it's worth, they've spent the capital well so far, but there's always reason to doubt the Raw writers). But the Ascension guys could easily take on new forms, either as a standalone or as part of a stable.
I'm really hoping to see WWE get serious about tag teams as a thing, and not just a rock tumbler hoping to spit out singles stars. That's what I enjoy about Harper and Rowan, as well as the Usos and to an extent the Rhodes boys — they're in it to be the best team as if that's its own important thing, which it certainly can and should be.
To answer your specific question, I'm not ready to see the Ascension on Raw. I want a legitimate program heading toward the next NXT supershow. Maybe that's the Vaudevillains, maybe it isn't. But let's talk about those guys individually and as a team. Aiden English has been around a lot longer than his partner, Simon Gotch. Both can do funny, and English had a bit of potential being semi-serious. I'll say right now English's character is a no-go on Smackdown or Raw, no matter how perfect it has been in the NXT realm. But is the man behind the character able to take on something else and succeed?
• • •
David: As a fan of Chikara, and the wider Chikara-verse, the Vaudevillains are my kind of tag team, but I sometimes have to remind myself not everyone sees wrestling the way I do. That fact leads me to agree with you that the idea of a show tune-singing wrestler probably won't fly on mainstream WWE television. However, I think he's a pretty talented wrestler. He's a taller guy, and, while he's not in the great shape Lex Luger was in his heyday, he "looks like a wrestler." He's got a strong television presence and an interesting voice that I think lends him the possibility of a strong future, if the WWE can find a gimmick that works for its main audience while still suiting his talents… but that's kinda the catch, isn't it.
While Gotch hasn't been around long, I've been impressed with what I've seen from him so far. He's got a good look, although I wonder if he'll need a makeover before moving up to the main roster, as his look (the moustache, hair style and singlet) is pretty specific to the old-timey character he's portraying right now. I suppose they could parlay that look into some kind of "hipster" gimmick on the main roster, but I'm sure Vince would blanche if the creative team tried to get him to understand what a hipster is. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I've seen enough from him to know if he's got what it takes to make it at the highest level in the wrestling business.
What do you think? Can he be a star in the WWE, or should Justin Nottke hold a spot for him on the roster of Olde Wrestling?
• • •
Scott: One thing we probably have to think about is the definition of star. Is Aiden English destined for the WrestleMania main event or a run with the top belt? Highly doubtful. But can he string together three or four years on Raw without falling completely off the map, a la Curt Hawkins or Zack Ryder? No doubt.
The most popular illustration here is Colt Cabana's outward desire to be the Honky Tonk Man, to have a long enough run of modest television prominence to be able to play the character more or less forever, even if that just means legends appearances and autograph shows well past the working days. The growing success of the NXT show might allow certain performers to market themselves on the touring scene as "former WWE star…" just as well as a forgettable Smackdown stint. How bright is Michael Tarver's star shining these days?
I don't know if English is limited to only the comedic circuit, which despite Santino Marella's retirement and the release of Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre, is robust on account of Damien Sandow, Fandango, Adam Rose, the Matadors and so on, but there's money to be made in that realm. Some performers might rather be in that loop than just the bottom end of the "serious" wrestlers, because it's awfully difficult to break through into the main event scene, and at least the comedic acts are involved in memorable moments.
This leads to a question about another NXT standout of recent vintage — Tyson Kidd. If you're in his shoes, would you rather be on Raw and Smackdown in the middle of the card or at the focal point of the leading NXT story?
• • •
David: Tyson Kidd is an interesting case. His wrestling skills have always been solid, but he's had very little chance in five and a half years to show any kind of character. I think his recent run in NXT has been good for him. While some of the people in the Internet circles we run with make fun of his constant cries of "Fact!", I feel like he's shown marked improvement both in terms of actual spoken promos, and showing character in the ring. I think, despite the chants of "Nattie's Husband," he's shown he is a lot more than that, and a high profile feud with Sami Zayn has been much better for him than languishing in the middle of Raw or Smackdown.
Speaking of Sami Zayn, how have we gotten this far into this piece with barely a mention of the guy who, as of right now, is the likely No. 1 on my TWB 100 ballot for 2014? I look forward to seeing Zayn wrestle every time he gets in the ring, but I'm glad they've decided to keep him in NXT for now. It's not that I think he's incapable of making an impact on Raw, but I'd like to see him get the NXT title, if nothing else than as a reward for having great matches with everyone from Tyler Breeze to Cesaro. There's also the fact I'm wary of what the main roster's creative team will do with him. I've enjoyed his work so much on NXT I'm worried it won't be the same when he gets to the main roster, plus I'd like to see him work with the group of guys who are coming into NXT in the near future.
So, am I right to worry about Zayn's prospects on the USA and SyFy Networks? Or do you think his talent will allow him to do what Daniel Bryan did in overcoming bad storylines to become a major player in the WWE?
• • •
Scott: To me, Zayn is the ultimate "please don't screw this guy up" in my book. He's undoubtedly capable of delivering a fantastic match in any scenario. He's a natural hit with fans of all ages. I generally dislike when people posit "If (insert wrestler) doesn't main event WrestleMania, then WWE dropped the ball)," but honestly, how can you not feel that way about Sami Zayn?
I'll admit to not being aware of Daniel Bryan's pre-WWE career at the time he debuted on season one of NXT, but I learned quickly he already had the highest of respect among people whose opinions I respected. I tried to get in on the ground floor with Zayn's WWE career as well. Part of me wants to not compare the two but it also seems essential given the striking similarities.
I would like to think current management sees in Zayn the possibility to meet or exceed Bryan levels of popularity, and in so doing consciously avoids the missteps that plagued Bryan early on in his WWE run. And say what you will about the company never being sold on Bryan's prospects, but we'll always have WrestleMania XXX. That was no accident. Sami Zayn can tell those kind of stories in and out of the ring, and — barring injury — I've never been so sure of anything in my wrestling fandom as I am of Zayn's potential.
Now, how do they actually get him from the simmering at the surface of NXT to the center spotlight on biggest stage of them all? I can think of 87 different ways, none of which will actually happen. I'm anxious to see what he can do as soon as possible, but I don't want him to get lost amidst all the guys currently getting elevated on the main shows. A double-edged sword.
Here;s the big question I've never been able to answer: How much does Zayn have to be reintroduced to the main audience? In my world, everyone who loves Raw should watch NXT, but I know that's just not the case. Can they just bring him up, say "this guy is awesome" then let him prove it in the ring on his first night? I don't want to think about ways to mess up his debut, but I'm sure it's possible. How would you handle it — and when?
• • •
David: That's a big question, but you asked, so I'll put on my fantasy booker hat and see what I can come up with. First things first… I would not have him debut at the Royal Rumble. For some reason, the WWE creative team has seen fit over the past couple of years to make big debuts in the Royal Rumble match. I wasn't a fan of that tactic for either Bo Dallas or Alexander Rusev. I think there are too many guys, and a debuting wrestler gets lost in the shuffle.
But you didn't ask me how I would not handle his debut, so here's what I would do if I were on the creative team. First, in September, I would announce 16 NXT Superstars are going to have a shot at a showcase at Survivor Series. The way it would work is there would be eight singles matches throughout October and November. The eight winners would then be in a traditional five-on-five Survivor Series elimination match, with the other two spots being given to main roster wrestlers with NXT ties.
I also would announce on Raw this match is happening, as a way to get the WWE Universe excited about it — and excited about NXT. There would be video packages each week showing what happened on the previous NXT, and how that affects the "First Annual NXT Survivor Series Showcase." That way, the WWE Universe at large gets to know some of the guys they don't know, and they get excited about the NXT Universe. This has an added benefit of being a good advertisement for the WWE Network, which is available for $9.99 per month.
The teams would be the following:
Enzo Amore, Colin Cassady, Xavier Woods, Mojo Rawley and Sami Zayn
Sylvester Lefort, Marcus Louis, Cesaro, CJ Parker and Bull Dempsey
Amore and Cassady fall on one side of the good guy/bad guy line, with the Legionnaires being their counterparts. Parker and Woods have a feud that may not be burning up the NXT Universe, but is worthy of a Survivor Series match. With Rawley and Dempsey, you get tag team partners on opposite sides who don't really like each other, which would provide an interesting dynamic and storyline potential. Then, of course, you have the ultimate good guy, Sami Zayn, and his ultimate rival to this point, Cesaro.
I would start the match with Parker and Woods in the ring. Woods would get the early advantage, even getting a near fall. This would bring Dempsey in to break up the pin. As he breaks up the pin, Rawley comes in to attack Dempsey, but ends up hitting Woods accidentally, allowing Parker to get the pin.
After a few more minutes, Enzo would be in against one of The Legionnaires, who would take advantage of the ref being distracted at various points to use underhanded tactics. Big Cass spends most of this portion of the match getting hotter and hotter, until the Legionnaires are able to pin Amore with a handful of tights, or having their feet on the ropes. Cassady comes in and starts to take apart Lefort and Louis, but ends up going too far. His anger causes him to use a chair to injure both Lefort and Louis, which ends up getting him disqualified.
Rawley and Zayn take advantage of the Legionnaires' injuries to finish them off fairly quickly, bringing the odds closer, with the villains having a one-man advantage. With Rawley the legal man, Dempsey enters the match, and the two lock up. After neither man gains an advantage, Rawley turns to Sami Zayn and says, "You're on your own." He turns to Dempsey, shakes his hand and then lays down for his tag team partner to pin him, leaving Sami Zayn staring down the barrel of a 3-1 advantage. Zayn gets in and is on fire. He takes it to all three men, getting a pin first on CJ Parker. Dempsey slows him down, but Zayn manages to tough out the pain, eliminating him with a roll up, which just leaves Zayn and Cesaro.
Sami Zayn starts by getting in a flurry of offense, which Cesaro quickly quells. Cesaro then proceeds to take Zayn apart, to the stunned silence of the crowd. After a pop-up uppercut and a Neutralizer, Cesaro gets the win to be the sole survivor.
I waffled a bit about whether or not to have Zayn make the complete comeback, but in the end, he's far stronger as the guy who's trying to get even, and with Cesaro as his white whale, we get to continue their feud from earlier this year in a different milieu. However, I wouldn't have them fight immediately. I'd have them do a slow burn, where Zayn spends a couple of months fighting random wrestlers on Raw, and, for the most part, winning. I don't think he needs a winning streak, but I would have him drop references to Cesaro in promos, with Cesaro repeatedly saying he has nothing to prove against Zayn.
This would go until the Royal Rumble, which would feature both Cesaro and Zayn late in the match. Zayn would eliminate Cesaro, but not win. This would give Cesaro motivation for wanting to take on Sami, and they could wrestle at Elimination Chamber, and possibly have a blowoff match at Wrestlemania, perhaps for either the US or Intercontinental title.
Obviously, I'm biased, but I think it's a pretty good start to Sami Zayn's main roster career, as well as a good story. In addition, I've built some potential stories on NXT, the new focal point of the WWE Network, for Mojo Rawley, Bull Dempsey, The Legionnaires and Cassady and Amore.
More than anything, I want Zayn to start off with something courageous that gets the crowd behind him, and keeps them there. Any other thoughts on Sami Zayn and his career trajectory?
• • •
Scott: I'm not going to describe another potential scenario to that degree of specificity, but to me you've hit on the key component of the big picture. Zayn most likely should "debut," as it were, with a courageous performance that breeds a desire for him to get back on equal footing with his superior. He's such a fantastic storyteller in the ring his spoken words are almost secondary. He's perhaps better than anyone at the "show, don't tell" narrative approach.
Doing this exercise with Zayn and Neville makes me realize the difficulty WWE will have in advancing its good guys to the next level. Tyler Breeze is a much easier solution: Show up, be cocky, win. Rusev was similar: Show up, hoss dudes around, win. For too long it's seemed the only card the writers had for good guys is to give them some sort of stunning "how did they do that" victory (the pre-NXT prototype is the Santino debut win over Umaga, the modern NXT version is Paige beating AJ Lee), except they never convey the message the NXT stars actually deserve to be on the main stage. If their wins are presented as flukes, then the established heel star gets suitable revenge, where does the NXT graduate go as a character?
There are plenty of examples of wrestlers needing two or three different characters or reboots to finally find something that sticks, enough so that we can't say the manner in which an NXT star debuts will determine his or her long-term viability. But the growing popularity and availability of NXT makes it more likely a larger percentage of the fanbase will be invested in the NXT version of a performer than ever before (consider how many late 80s WWF fans had no real exposure to Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard before they came in as the Brain Busters).
The more I grow to love and respect an NXT performer's work, the more I'm worried he or she won't translate to Raw, or the writers won't know how to handle them, or moving away from Full Sail will be problematic. Of course I want them to succeed on the big stage — that's the whole point. I want them all to have a debut moment as thrilling as the Cubs' Javier Baez hitting a game winning 414-foot home run in the 12th inning. And just like in baseball, I don't want them to just be great at NXT forever.
This is not to say every working wrestler has to have a good run on Raw to be deemed a success. That's clearly not the case. However, once you sign that developmental deal and begin to climb the ladder and headline NXT supershows, you build those expectations of WrestleMania moments for yourself.
I do want to get to a quick look at the rest of the NXT roster and see if there's anyone we think should or shouldn't move up (now or ever). But first I want to ask if there needs to be a more structured pipeline for promoting NXT stars. They've done the Royal Rumble thing once (Bo Dallas won a fanfest tournament). Your Survivor Series idea certainly has merit. I might suggest next year's Money in the Bank show have a match that's only NXT stars fighting to get a one-year Raw contract.
We've done the Rusev/Wyatts/Bo Dallas/Adam Rose thing, where a series of vignettes lead up to an actual debut. We've done the thing where Xavier Woods deal where he just appears on Raw and his story starts from scratch. And then there's the Paige surprise appearance, where she is her exact character, as well as the surprise Shield debut, where the announcers have to tell us who they are and then it takes a while for their stories to unfold.
So should there be some specific way each year in which an NXT star wins the right to advance, or is it best to leave all the options open for creative collaboration?

David: I think it's best to leave all options open. As much as I like the idea of an NXT Money in the Bank match, I'm not sure it's something that can be relied on as an annual event. The nature of that type of storytelling seems to have a short shelf life, since I can't think of too many stories they could tell surrounding the expiration of that one-year contract, and I'd rather them not add another gimmick where they're telling the same stories over and over.
I think calling up talent from NXT has to be an individualized thing, involving finding a way to fit the NXT character into the main roster. This leads me back to the Vaudevillains, whose gimmicks we've already agreed probably aren't suitable for the main roster. I was trying to figure out: what is the purpose of their gimmicks, and gimmicks like theirs? Is the point for the talent to prove that they are capable of getting over no matter what they're handed by the creative team? Is it a case of the NXT creative team knowing oddball characters get over at Full Sail? Or, is there a disconnect between NXT and the main roster, where they don't realize these characters probably are not going to fly in the mainstream wrestling space?
• • •
Scott: All right, maybe a one-year Raw contract doesn't make sense. And I have never been a fan of forcing a match (Hell in a Cell, TLC) just because that particular themed pay-per-view is on the schedule. But I still see the value in some sort of annual showcase where the reward is a shot at the big time. I guess you'd have to temper that with the fact they can bring up pretty much whoever they want whenever they want — the last thing WWE needs is one more arbitrary narrative device that's negated at the whims of whichever power figure happens to be in control on a given week.
The disconnect you mentioned has to be addressed at some point. Why was Paige forced to surrender her NXT title (on account of her Divas Champion obligations) when past NXT titleholders were allowed to do double duty? And what was the point of filling the Women's Title tournament with main roster stars like Natalya? Wouldn't they have to surrender the NXT title for the same basic reasons Paige could no longer keep hers?
That's just the storyline continuity. There exists the larger issue of what purpose it serves to have a performer go all-in on a character that clearly can't work on the touring team. We've seen quick tweaks (such as Becky Lynch's recent drastic improvement) and some more gradual evolutions (Rusev is functionally the same but tried and dropped certain aspects of his presentation), and I'm not sure any of that stuff is canonical — the only part of a character or performer's NXT backstory that matters is whatever the Raw or Smackdown writers decide to preserve.
Certainly guys like the Vaudevillains are getting more attention than NXT wrestlers without stage names or flashy attire. Someone must have something in mind for their future, but it's hard to say what that might be.
What of the guys who don't trip our trigger at present? Is there a Raw future for the men behind the likes of Mojo Rawley and Bull Dempsey? I always hate to see anyone released, but there's only so many spots and I'd rather see my favorite guys and gals get a chance to shine.
• • •
David: As I said earlier, one of the things we, and fans of our ilk, have to come to terms with is we are very rarely going to be the fans WWE caters to. That means we're not always going to like everything that happens in the WWE. There are plenty of wrestlers on the main roster whose stories and in-ring performance don't interest me, and even though I don't want to watch them, I have to remind myself WWE is creating a television product for a mainstream audience, not the little niche I fit into… that's what Chikara is for.
Anyone who has followed me on the Twittah (shout out to Chris Jericho) for any length of time knows how I feel about Mojo Rawley. I almost always tweet my displeasure about him being on my screen, and that's probably not going to stop. I don't enjoy anything he does. I find his energy level and "I Don't Get Hyped, I Stay Hyped" catch phrase to be annoying instead of charismatic. I think his offense looks ugly, and from my perspective as a fan, his matches rarely seem to have any kind of flow to them. He is usually just moving from one move to another, as if he's following a recipe. That said, I know there are people who like Mojo Rawley, and God bless them. I think he's got an okay look, and he might be able to make a living in the WWE. I'm not sure whether this particular gimmick is the one that will get him to Raw, but I think he can be a solid mid-carder, whether I like it or not.
Bull Dempsey, for me, is a different story. I don't like Mojo Rawley because I've never seen anything to like. I don't like Dempsey because I'm almost offended by the way they chose to debut him, and the gimmick that they chose to give him. For those who aren't aware, Dempsey debuted on the June 26 episode of NXT, and referred to himself as "The Last of a Dying Breed." There are a few people who took exception to this moniker, including Brandon Stroud, who had this to say in his "Best and Worst of NXT" column for that show:
When I heard him say "The Last of a Dying Breed," the first thing I thought was pretty much the same as Mr. Stroud: "Screw this guy." I love NXT, and think it's the closest thing we're ever going to have to a mainstream version of an indie promotion, but that doesn't mean I need it, or even want it, to emulate or parody even the best parts of the indies. I want it to be its own thing, and I want it to be good at that. The Vaudevillains are a great tag team, and they may be a reference to things happening on the indie scene right now (hi again, Olde Wrestling), but they aren't a direct rip-off, which makes them acceptable in my book.
But the biggest problem with the Bull Dempsey gimmick is the guy they gave it to. I don't know Smith James, the performer behind Bull Dempsey, and I'm sure he is a fine person, but he's not Eddie Kingston. I can't foresee a time in the future where I would ever confuse him with Eddie Kingston. I'm not sure how much of Eddie Kingston you've seen, but he's a regular in the two indie promotions I watch the most: Chikara and AIW. Kingston doesn't have the prototypical wrestler's body, but he is extremely intimidating. He's tough. He's mean. He's surly. I wouldn't cross him. In fact, if I was walking down the street and saw Eddie Kingston, my first instinct would be to tell him how much I enjoy his work. However, that would be overridden by my central nervous system, which would be telling me to cross the street so as not to make him mad in any way.
Bull Dempsey is not any of that. He's the loudmouth at the bowling alley who thinks he's the best because his team won their league. He's the guy at the arcade who constantly brags about his high score on Pac-Man that got erased because the machine got unplugged. He's a big talker without much to back it up or make you care. I'm not sure what the future holds for Bull Dempsey, but I have a hard time believing this character will make much of an impact on Superstars, much less Raw.
Of course, those aren't the only two NXT wrestlers I'm not all that interested in, there are also guys like Angelo Dawkins and CJ Parker. Who else do you see having a hard time transitioning out of the world of "developmental"?
• • •
Scott: As far as the people getting semi-regular screen time, I agree with you on Dawkins and Parker. I won't be shocked if either gets walking papers before they appear on television. I'm not sure what the deal is with Corey Graves these days, nor do I care. Nothing personal, but he rarely adds anything when he's on screen. Marcus Louis and Sylvester Lefort don't engender visions of grandeur, but it's not impossible to see them getting a main roster run because "not Americans" is textbook storytelling.
As usual, heading into the next supershow we'll start to get a clearly defined idea of who management sees as having long-term potential. As we noted, it's good to see a guy like Tyson Kidd developing his character and performance in the NXT main event scene as opposed to being forgotten on a C show. As for Zayn, it's fair to ask how many times he can hog NXT's brightest spotlight before he gets a real shot at the big time.
When Bo Dallas graduated, it was clear he had nothing left to prove at NXT. It also was clear he wasn't going to the top to get into a title picture or main event program. And that's OK. His brother was destined for greatness, and despite some fits and starts, the team is showing a tremendous amount of dedication to the Wyatt Family's place of prominence on the main roster. (No small amount of credit goes to Harper and Rowan. I have loved their contributions even as Wyatt's stagnated.)
Tyler Breeze's showing against Neville this week is another brick in a sturdy wall he's constructed showing he deserves to be more than just a Raw caricature of his NXT character. So should I want him to stay at NXT until a logical spot opens for him in the Raw narrative? It's the same question I have about Zayn — I fully believe he could headline WrestleMania. Does the company have the same faith? Is there a logical launching pad?
One of the things I've tried to do while watching Raw each week is see if the company (and fans) can handle multiple leading stories and rising performers. Obviously Roman Reigns is ascendant these days, but his SummerSlam showdown with Orton is not as important as Brock-Cena or even the Brie-Steph match. I could almost argue they've soft-sold Rollins and Ambrose a bit, but I also firmly believe you don't need to feature each story every week unless you're going to actually advance the plot. We know why these guys are fighting and it's OK to fan the flames with a highlight package.
We've covered a lot of good ground here, but we need to reach some sort of conclusion. Let's frame it as such: in the Network era of NXT, there will have been at least three "supershows," and possibly a fourth, before WrestleMania XXXI. I suggest at least one man and woman from at least one of those supershows needs to have a prominent role at the Granddaddy of them All in the Bay Area next spring, or else all this NXT devotion becomes more a sideshow than anything else.
At this point, it seems Paige is a lock to be in that mix, though there are other women who could carry the same weight. For the men, there are obvious candidates, but who's your pick? Who gets the nod and what is their role on the biggest stage in wrestling?
• • •
David: The Ascension jump right off the page. They've had a long run as NXT Tag Team Champions, but this tag team tournament seems pretty much designed to get the belts off of them in an effort to elevate them to the main roster. I have to assume that as soon as they get to Raw, they will be thrust into the WWE Tag Team Championship picture. If they don't get an immediate title reign, it seems like they'll get there pretty quickly, which could mean they enter WrestleMania as either champions or contenders. I'm sure that will be a welcome relief for Konnor, who has been in the developmental system off and on since 2005, and I think there's a good chance he and Viktor will get a WrestleMania moment (note the lowercase m) in Santa Clara.
Outside of The Ascension, I'm not sure what to think. There are always so many x-factors to consider: injuries, the fickleness of the WWE Universe, bad booking. As a fan, I think Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville are currently ready to make an impact on the main roster, and should have ample opportunity to earn themselves a look at The Showcase of the Immortals. But I also think Kevin Steen, whose signing was officially announced this week, could go straight from the indies to Raw with nary a problem. The question is: how does the biggest boss of them all in WWE, Vince McMahon see it?
Mick Foley, in a recent interview with Stone Cold Steve Austin, pointed out the talent that goes the furthest are the ones who have the ability to turn Vince McMahon into a fan of theirs. There are a lot of fans who think they know what Vince looks for, but Mick Foley hardly fits that common perception, so there's got to be something deeper than just a body builder's physique. Getting Vince's attention… that's the biggest x-factor of them all.

Napoli sits with sore foot; Victorino's day off nixed

BOSTON -- Shane Victorino was out of the lineup for Saturday's game, and then he wasn't.
Mike Napoli came in with a sore left foot, and that led manager John Farrell to make some tweaks to his batting order.View Full Game Coverage
Victorino, who has been dealing with left hamstring weakness for a large portion of the season, started in right field and batted second. Daniel Nava, originally slated to bat second and play right field, batted sixth and played left. Mike Carp, who was going to start in right field, instead started at first.
Napoli, who has slumped mightily in recent weeks, got a day off.
"It's something [Napoli has] been dealing with for quite some time and aggravated it last night on that double," Farrell said. "So when he came in today, [we] just felt like he needs a day down, at a minimum. It's in that plantar fasciitis area of the front foot."
While it would be easy to draw the conclusion of a correlation between Napoli's foot ailment and his slump, Farrell isn't sure there is one.
"No, I can't say that it's caused his swing to be less aggressive or it's caused him to not hit from a more powerful base," Farrell said. "Like I said, it's something he's been dealing with, but he has not expressed that as being a reason to why some of the streaks he's experienced."
As for Victorino, a day off on Saturday was viewed more as a luxury than a necessity.
"We're just kind of keeping the pulse of how guys are feeling physically and just building in a day when needed. Sometimes that's not afforded," Farrell said.
How much is the hamstring bothering the switch-hitting Victorino?
"Enough for him to hit from the right side of the plate against right-handed pitching as well," Farrell said. "It's more, again, trying to create the power base that we talked about from a hitter's standpoint. As far as his range in the outfield or ability to run the bases, that hasn't shown in those areas."

"Days of Dawn" is the result of a group of RPG-loving games-professionals having joined forces to create nothing less but the game of their dreams: an original roleplaying game coming in HD-glory, pledging to bring back the flair of early roleplaying games – imagine classic titles of the 16-bit era in beautifully handpainted hi-res graphics and an orchestra-quality soundtrack.
Bumblebee, the creators of the game, are currently looking for crowdfunding on kickstarter and already managed to gather $16,000, 32% of the goal, in less than five days with 24 days remaining. They offer some excellent rewards to their backers, including the game's soundtrack, an artbook or the option to become part of the game itself by naming elements of it or even become one of the RPG's characters.
If the goal will be met, the developers plan to release the game for PC, Mac and Linux. Additional stretchgoals are said to offer the availability of Days of Dawn for Android, iOS and WiiU.
The backgrounds look really good.
The movement animation needs a bit of work.
The magic system looks very interesting and the artwork is very good. I'm very keen to see the end result of this!
Well, if the funding goal is not reached is this project going to be cancelled? Please don't, it looks extremely promising and it's been a long time since an RPG similar to Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy were launched. Really looking forward to this game, and I'm sure you'll have a huge following
Maybe you guys should try IGN and/or Gamespot as well to get more people to know about it

16.8-Watt Voltaic Solar Charger Kit
Many people would love to install a complete photovoltaic system to power their home, but they either lack the space or money to do so. One much less space-intensive—and inexpensive—alternative is the 16.8-Watt Solar Charger Kit from Voltaic. This handy system features a V60 battery that is able to charge everything from laptops to tablets to cameras to several cell phones at once, and its portable and lightweight design makes it easy to move around to wherever you need power. Moreover, if any of the recent natural disasters have taught us anything, it's that we can't rely on the local grid in emergencies. Provide you and your loved ones with a little extra peace of mind by ensuring that you'll always be powered up and connected.
Maestro Occupancy/Vacancy Sensing Switch
We're all guilty of it, forgetting to turn off lights. If this is you, or someone you know (like your kids), consider employing Lutron's Maestro Occupancy/Vacancy Sensing Switch (fun fact: they are the inventors of the dimmer switch!). The handy gadget adds convenience and energy savings to any room in your home by automatically turning lights on when you enter the room and off after a period of inactivity. Using a proprietary sensing technology to ensure lights stay on when the room is occupied, the sensor features ambient light detection that can sense natural light in a room, turning lights on only when needed — perfect for laundry rooms, garages, kid's bathrooms and closets.
Maestro C.L Dimmer
Cut energy usage and create some ambiance in the bedroom, family room or kitchen with the Maestro C.L Dimmer for Lutron. This sustainable, award-winning design is geared for use with incandescent and halogen bulbs, as well as dimmable CFLs and dimmable LEDs. This dimmer offers customizable delayed fade-to-off, which lets you leave a room before the lights go out. And we've said it once and we'll say it again: switching out incandescent bulbs in favor of more energy efficient ones have the potential to cut your energy bill by hundreds of dollars. Pair the Maestro C.L Dimmer with a dimmable CFL or dimmable LED for optimal energy saving — plus you won't have to worry about them going kaput when you need them the most; the average CFL lasts up to 10 years, and LEDs up to 25 years!
Honeywell Wifi Programmable Thermostat
The average American household spends more than $2,200 annually on energy bills, and nearly half of that amount is part due to to heating and cooling. One of the easiest ways to dramatically cut down on this number is to install a programmable thermostat. Not only are they inexpensive (some cost as little as $25), but unlike their predecessors, they're are intuitive, easy to use, and ever-programmable to meet changing needs and erratic schedules. Once installed they can save you about $180 a year — not to mention alleviate some serious discomfort in your home.
Here at Inhabitat, we're huge fans of programmable thermostats and Honeywell's wifi-enabled version really speaks to our gadget- and internet-loving hearts. One of the coolest features this thermostat offers is the ability to adjust the temperature of your home remotely using a smart device like a phone or iPad. You won't have to worry about if you remembered to turn off the heat after leaving for work, or coming home to a frigid house. Watch our video featuring Inhabitat editor Yuka Yoneda to learn more about these programmable thermostats.
Serena Remote Controlled Honeycomb Shades
While ample windows are a great way to bring natural light into a living space, they also are the cause of heat loss during the winter and heat build-up during the summer. Pair these two elements together and you'll often find yourself needing to pump up the heat or cooling to keep your home comfortable. While many don't think of blinds as anything more that a way to block out the sun, the reality is that an efficient set of shades has the power to cut your energy bill all year long. Honeycomb shades are your best bet when it comes to optimizing efficiency and Serena remote controlled honeycomb shades from Lutron are a great solution. These shades are made of fabric that have air pockets that trap heat during the winter and shut out solar radiation in the summer, providing for superior insulation while still allowing natural light to permeate. They're also totally wireless using D-sized batteries and remote controlled, so you don't have to worry about cord tangles or your kids and pets tugging on the strings. As an extra bonus, they are completely DIY and can be installed in about 15 minutes, not to mention perfect for creating privacy and covering hard-to-reach windows. A variety of styles and textures make them adaptable to all types of interiors.
Efergy Shower Timer and Alarm
The average person will use anywhere between 5 to 8 gallons of water per minute while showering, and taking shorter showers is one way simple to cut down on excess water and energy use. But if you're someone who finds themselves transported to another world when the H2O starts to flow, don't fret, there's still hope for you to meet your water-saving targets. The Efergy Shower Timer and Alarm is a clever little gadget that is able to monitor the amount of water going doing the drain as you lather up. Quickly and easily calibrate it to your shower, set your own target, and then hang it on your showerhead or affix it to the wall using the suction cap. Turn on the timer every time you start your shower and follow the progress on the visual display. The alarm will sound when you have met your target volume of water, letting you know that it's time to go dry off. The smart device will help you learn how to cut down on time with each shower.

How To Make a Modern Harvest Centerpiece for Thanksgiving
For the Thanksgiving dinner I'm sharing with you this week, I wanted a really lush centerpiece, one that celebrated the beauty of the fall harvest but didn't cost me hundreds of dollars. So I turned to my favorite eco-friendly florist to help me create a beautiful, all-natural vegetable centerpiece that a real human (you know, homo sapiens, as opposed to marta stewartensis) could make with some seasonal vegetables, basic tools, and a little imagination.
But I didn't want to let all that beauty go to waste, after the meal. Since nothing is glued down or otherwise rendered inedible, you can eat nearly every piece of this arrangement — and I give you recipes to help you do just that.
While I love flowers, I think that vegetables deserve a moment in the spotlight at Thanksgiving, and placing them in the center of the table reminds us that we can turn back to the bounty of the harvest when the indulgence of pie and gravy is over.
So I approached Eva Provenzale, my favorite florist here in Columbus, Ohio. Eva's business, EcoFlora, specializes in local, organic, and sustainable flowers. I've had many arrangements from Eva that include seedpods and herbs, offbeat roadside flowers or native Ohio grasses. Her arrangements are natural and thoughtful, always with a flair for the unexpected.
Of anyone, I thought that Eva might be able to do something beautiful with a sack of vegetables. Lucky for me, she was up for the challenge, despite the fact that she had given birth to her daughter just a few weeks prior. This hasn't slowed her down; she's running her shop and arranging flowers with her daughter Elliott tucked into a sling.
So I rolled into her shop a few days before the party, lugging bags of vegetables that had caught my eye for one reason or another. I had beets, turnips, cabbage, kohlrabi, eggplant, and papery-skinned tomatillos. I also had a wide, light wooden platter, a good find from a local shop. I had been searching for the right base for the arrangement, finding only very expensive options online. But this one, a platter from Mix:Home, was only $33, and simply perfect.
Eva laid everything out, then got to work. Here's how she put it all together, without the aid of floral foam — which, she pointed out, isn't biodegradable. She made a point of only using food-friendly materials to assemble this arrangement, and we took step-by-step photos to help you do it too.
- Visit Eva's shop: EcoFlora Organic Flowers in Columbus, Ohio
- Find Eva on Facebook: EcoFlora Organic Flowers
- Find the platter I used: Large Wooden Platter, $33 at Mix:Home
How To Make a Thanksgiving Centerpiece
What You Need
Dried vine, such as bittersweet
Selection of fresh fruit and vegetables in a range of sizes and colors, such as turnips, cabbage, eggplant, tomatillos, beets with their tops, grapes, squash, kohlrabi, and pomegranate
Large, slightly curved platter or board, such as this one
Shears or florist's clippers
Masking tape or floral tape
Food-safe wooden skewers
- Gather your materials. This arrangement works best when you use a range of colors, sizes, and shapes. I browsed my local market for good-looking vegetables, attracted to the violet blush on the turnips and the ruffled leaves of Savoy cabbage. Make sure some of the vegetables have stalks and leaves, like beets with their greens.
- Cut up cardboard. Eva began by cutting up some scrap cardboard and stacking it into a support for the center of the arrangement. "I don't use floral foam," she explained. "A lot of people don't realize that it's not biodegradable."
- Stack the cardboard and tape it together. Eva taped the cardboard into a sturdy base that will help give some height to the arrangement.
- Place the cardboard stack onto your platter. Eva put this right in the middle, although you could also offset it to make your arrangement cascade from one side to another.
- Tape the cardboard stack to the platter. Tape the base down firmly.
- Choose a long coil of bittersweet or grapevine. Eva explained that she thought the arrangement would need something "stick-y" to form a base for the vegetables.
- Coil the vine around the base of the platter. Weave it under the tape holding the base on the platter.
- Start with the biggest vegetables. Place one of the biggest vegetables (in this case, a Savoy cabbage) on the platter, to the side of the cardboard base, and see how it looks. Position it until it seems secure.
- Use a skewer to hold the cabbage in place. Eva used a food-safe bamboo skewer, run through the core of the cabbage and into the cardboard, to hold it in place.
- Add anything else leafy. After putting the big showstopper cabbage in place, Eva placed the kohlrabi and beets, both leafy and long, which made a good base for what would come next.
- Begin layering in other pieces. From here, it's really up to your imagination and the vegetables you have. Eva placed tomatillos and grapes on the base of the beets and kohlrabi leaves.
- Keep using skewers to hold larger pieces in place. Eva wanted to add a red cabbage so she skewered its base and clipped off the extra length of skewer, then shoved the skewers into the cardboard base.
- Add the smaller vegetables, tucking them into bare corners. Look for areas in the arrangement that seem empty, and tuck turnips and other smaller vegetables in, using skewers if necessary to hold them in place.
- Finish with a few more long sprays of leaves or vines. For a dramatic finish, tuck in a few sprays of leaves. We used rose branches from the rose bushes outside my house. The rose hips also got tucked into the arrangement.
- Clean up the vegetables: Don't forget to clean up the vegetables before using them. You can even rub them with a little vegetable oil to help them shine.
- How to store: I have an extra fridge in the basement, so I left the arrangement there for a couple nights. But you could also just leave it in any cool spot; it should last well (see the next point).
- How long will this last? This was a remarkably hearty arrangement. With the exception of some of the softer vegetables, like the eggplant, this lasted for over two weeks at my house. I began plucking vegetables away to cook them, like the eggplant and cabbage, but I left others sitting on the platter until I needed them (well, until it started looking really picked over!). But you could certainly put it together some days before Thanksgiving.
Eat Your Thanksgiving Centerpiece: The Recipes
After assembling all these beautiful vegetables, though, the last thing I wanted to do was throw them away. Since we were careful to use only food-friendly arrangement techniques, everything could be eaten afterwards. And what better menu, the week after Thanksgiving, but the one you find in a pile of gorgeous vegetables?
Here are plenty of recipe ideas for the things I put in my own arrangement. Keep in mind, too, that most of these vegetables will last a long time; cabbage can keep for a month in the refrigerator. So you don't have to race through them.
Red, Green, or Savoy Cabbage
- Just eat 'em! (I left most of the bag with Eva.)
- Try This: Roast Grapes for Cheese Platters
- Crunchy, Spicy Pickled Grapes
Acorn Squash
What are you doing for your Thanksgiving centerpiece this year? Will there be vegetables on your table? And if there are, how will you eat them up afterwards?

He thinks that Christmas is too commercial, but he's the owner of a kitschy Christmas shop that his parents left him. His aunt Olive runs the place, and she's something of a mind reader. Samantha Sinclair came to North Pole, Alaska, for a job as a chef in a fancy restaurant, but when the job falls through, she ends up working for Bryce and his aunt. Aunt Olive has a secret of her own and sees in Sam something that Bryce desperately needs – a special understanding of his problems in dealing with how the war affected him and his lack of faith in God.
See how Sam gets Bryce to stop feeling sorry for himself. Sam grew up with seven older brothers, and she's spunky and spontaneous. She knows how guys think. Can Sam and Bryce see eye to eye on running the shop, a tragedy and new found love? You won't want to put this funny, endearing book down, so be sure to have a lot of time to just sit and read.
North Pole, Alaska is a real place, and the town is open with Christmas spirit 365 days a week, 24 hours a day.

When I select a passage, I mean highlight it and right click and select copy, it doesn't. I go to my word processor and select paste, and it is empty. I do this often. Same thing with the Scripture pad or anything else. If I copy and paste within BA it is fine and pastes, however if I want to work outside of BA (Word Processor, or Web page, or Email) it refuses to paste anywhere outside of BA. Any ideas? Or work arounds?
PS, the workaround I use is highlight the text or passage I want, and then press my scroll button where I want to paste it (outside of BA) and that does it. This is a normal Linux feature that is like a paste, but it is different it that it is never 'copied' officially. Also pressing the right and left button at the same time works as well, in the absence of a scroll wheel.
