NXT UK, why did it fail?
they could only find undernourished street urchins and not people of average or above average height.
>>19826449Because half of the BritWres scene got cancelled for noncing
>>19826449Is Regal the tallest one there? grim
>>19826449should've pushed wolfgang to the moon
>>19826449is that norman smiley
>>19826449look how ugly these people are
>>19826486Norman Smiley was born and brought up in Northampton, which sadly never formed part of his gimmick in wrestling.
>>19826449because of picrel.even their "big guys" Wolfgang and Seven are mogged here by geriatric Norman Smiley and Regal
>>19826449Brits don't eat slop
>>19826449yuros are too poor and third world to have a fed. all yuros are malnourished manlets so no big guys and yuros only pay to see black guys like oba and swerve
>>19826528Not sure what a Northampton gimmick would look like given how boring of a county it is.
>>19826449Is it a failure when it accomplished its goal?
>>19826449>Take a scene that relies on interworking between a dozen or so indies>Sign 7 of these indies to exclusive deals where the guys can't work out with WWE mandated matches>Take the 5 best guys and throw them on NXT UK and refuse to let them work in the Indies you're partnered with>Scene dies and people don't want to travel to NXT UK tapings once a month when just a year prior they could go to their local indie and see all the best guys for 10 quid and a free pintIt was doomed from the start
It didn't. The point wasn't to create a viable money-drawing product, it was to destroy the growing British wrestling scene and it succeeded.
>>19826449It gave us Gunther, Ludwig, Rhea, Ilja, Alba, Lyra, Fraxiom, Pretty Deadly. Seems like an overwhelming success to me.
>>19826876Rhea was already working for WWE before NXT UK. she just got shipped to NXT UK due to the accent or visa issues, but she was in the performance center before NXT UK
>>19826848This, WWE ultimate philosophy and goal is for everything wrestling in this planet to be under the WWE umbrella.
>>19826898Oh okay. Well even Rhea aside, a ton of talent started in NXT UK. Forgot to mention JD as well.
>>19826876>lyra >goodgunther is also shit and fraxiom is a mexican shitter who crippled that one guy and ilja is a manlet and kaiser's only good gimmick has been as fake El Grande. >>19826933ok JD don't google me, is pretty cool
>>19826952>fraxiom is a mexican shitter who crippled that one guyqrd?
>>19826964wasn't he the one who spiked the pretty deadly guy's head into the mat? Kit Wilson is solo with a new song because the other guy had to get multiple neck fusions because he got his head spiked and broke his neck on a double ddt
The pandemic mostly. Can't run shows when you can't legally run shows.Smarks didn't help either. They wouldn't watch it because of claims about WWE poaching British indy wrestlers. Yes, they claimed WWE poached wrestlers who were working on hot dog and hand shake agreements. But when AEW took NJPW talent, that was okay.And when I watched, the show was on at like 2PM on Thursdays. If you didn't see it live, you couldn't find it until 2 weeks after it aired unless you looked on torrent sites. They also never advertised it and it was on Peacock. Nobody was going to go through all that.The show really was good. The taped format hid everyone's weaknesses and it gave the writers more time to make things make sense. They also had a nice mix of guys who worked different styles.
>>19827074This but also the Metoo movement killed it because every British wrestler was a 5'6 sex pest.
>>19826449
>>19826449it didnt
He keeps seething about Lyra for some reason
>>19826449Did they?
>>19826449Half of them are pedophiles and the other half has been accused of domestic violence
>>19826604Yes we do?
>>19826449Euros are dimeless
>>19826449they got gunther, rhea and toni storm out of it, it did its job
>>19826528How would Northhampton form his wrestling gimmick kek
