    I think there will more than one Performance Center.

    Triple H will bring Raw back to being only 2 hours.

    Wrestlemania on the Moon.

    Very hard to predict the future tbh but if there's a TV deal offer then they will produce the content. If they think Triple H's attempt at making NXT into an "indie-style" promotional brand is driving Network subs then they will produce the content.

    I wouldn't be surprised if/when Triple H gets the book and Vince steps aside that he pushes the bodybuilder types. I don't buy that he is a mark for workrate all of a sudden but best enjoy NXT while it lasts.

    What they really need is a performance centre for creative, because there is already more talent than they can handle

    Exactly this.

    They need to stop hiring 15 Hollywood writers. Get back to fundamentals. 2 - 3 good writers should be enough, not 15.

    And for fúcks sakes - let the guys do their own promos - let them sink if they are going to sink. Cream always rises to the top. Bring back managers that do the talking for the weak ones on the mic. There needs to be more than just Paul Heyman

    tbh i wouldnt worry that hhh would push only bodybuilder types as i think it will be simalar to NXT as hhh grew up as a flair and nwa fan so think wrestling will be huge part not just the sports entertainment of the wwe today

    I don't get why they don't let guys do their own promos as a rule. What are they afraid will happen? They'll let a bad word slip? Well, OK, but I'll tell you how you'd sort that - just tape the show and edit out any 'inexactitudes'. If you lose the live feel, so what. It's not as if spontaneous, unpredictable things happen as a rule these days . Besides, some wrestlers do risque stuff anyway as it is. Orton flipped off Rollins that time, and Lesnar practically started one of biggest PW memes of the year with his 'Suplex City, b*tch' comment. Other worries like the wrestlers might lose their train of thought, well I can't imagine it's harder to learn the general direction you want a story to go than it is to learn a bunch of lines.

    Wasn't there a WWE plan at some point to set up various territories that would harness local talent? One in Europe, one in Mexico etc. I'm sure I didn't imagine it as I remember it being discussed on here. I guess that idea fell by the wayside but I thought it had potential. I wonder in future could there be the creation of further NXT promotions?

    Imagine for instance an NXT UK talent pool where you offer wrestlers from Britain, Ireland and perhaps a few other European countries a chance to do their thing on a WWE Network show. Meanwhile, you'd have an NXT US version and perhaps other regional ones as well.

    Too ambitious? Too unworkable? Probably. But it would be a fun way to give local wrestlers experience in different regions before you actually call them to the main show, and you could build up a support base in different regions. There would be the potential for inter-promotional match-ups from the regional shows too.

    The McMahons gobbled up the territories so I wonder is the future of the industry to create a new bunch of territories under the McMahon umbrella?

    I know rovert is the PW oracle but I'm hoping even he had to go and look up the names of StepHHH's kids.

    I am surprised it is not on some sort of a small delay (a few seconds, enough time to beep the bad words) anyway, I thought a lot of live programs were nowadays (maybe it is). Maybe they are trying to protect the kiddies in attendance

    There will always be a need for new stars so NXT is going nowhere. This is Hunter's baby and as long as he's alive NXT will continue. Heck, some people are even saying NXT is better than WWE.

    No....but if you changed it a little:

    You'd be onto something. They've already reached that point and the way all the recent NXT graduates have been portrayed once they got to the main roster; there will be a lot more coming.
