September 2, 20214 yr comment_5961015 It looks like he was too busy playing Risk when he should have been watching his back.
September 2, 20214 yr comment_5961020 Dude literally had an NXT Svalbard on the map, what in the world.
September 2, 20214 yr Author comment_5961024 Business-wise it was a bold move that could've had a huge payoff but that flopped hard, and it helps that Hunter is very unlikeable. It is easy to root against him. Didn't they announce this right before the pandemic struck?
September 2, 20214 yr comment_5961025 To the contrary, it looks like he tried to take Asia without a foothold in Australia. If anything he should have taken lessons learned from Risk more seriously.
September 2, 20214 yr comment_5961026 Ironically with all the Aus/NZ talent NXT has signed you'd think it would have occurred to Hunter that it might make a good base of operations. Maybe he has a deep seated kangaroo phobia.

Every time I think of Prichard in creative I just think back to him absolutely refusing to admit that the Red Rooster gimmick was bad. He'll go to his grave saying it could have worked if Taylor put in more effort. "He's the cock of the walk!" Says all that needs to be said about Bruce creatively I think. Also, shout out to Sek for confusing George Clooney & James Franco.

September 3, 20214 yr comment_5961046 The fact that they planned on running a show called NXT UK Takeover Dublin tells you how ill-conceived the whole project was.
September 3, 20214 yr comment_5961063 Has Miz done anything in Hollywood outside of the WWE umbrella? It'd be pretty funny if he pulled a Stacy Keibler and quit the company once he realized how much the treatment of wrestlers pales in comparison to that of real celebrities.
September 3, 20214 yr comment_5961064 I can remember in 2013/2014 they wanted Stacy to come back to the company. Stephanie even had a meeting with her. She turned them down.

It looks like they (probably just Bruce) will be coming up with the creative and other folks will do the actual day to day producing. Hunter having to put Brucie's plans to work is going to be hilarious.

September 4, 20214 yr Author comment_5961096 I mean, going by his YT videos even when before he got into NXT or made TV, that gimmick IS pretty much how he is. Certainly helps a lot!
September 4, 20214 yr comment_5961133 I get you can only do so many acrobatic flips, but I haven't seen any love for Reggie here in ages. Did he get lost in the shuffle already?
September 4, 20214 yr comment_5961134 They really haven't been doing as much 24/7 stuff. Reggie is still awesome when they do.
