The single biggest influence on how I like to run WWWRPG is WWE’s developmental show NXT. They embrace high concept gimmicks, invest time in their characters and allow them to make real connections to the audience, and make frequent and meaningful callbacks to prior events in their own canon. And, it’s only an hour!
This recap column is a real good way to find out more about that show, if you’re not already reading it!
You can see the show on Hulu (sometimes Hulu+, I’m unclear on why but it switches sometimes), and also the WWE network.
(note: I thought this weeks episode was pretty good, in contrast to Brandon’s recap.)
I was just about to say – this was not their best week (though Brandon is extra-whiny from being sick this week). But generally it’s pretty damn fine wrestling.
Yah, I was kinda in a semi-concious state when I watched it and I thought it had good actual wrestling. I entirely forgot the Breeze/Zane/Graves segment. That was lame.
Yeah I was upset about the Sami Zayn tease too!
