Superstars Reax - 11/27/15, NXT names on main roster, Interview with Backlund, and Questions on booking Owens, WWE pushing the Network, WWE working with WWNLive, talents being called up, and watching NWA TV

Superstars:
If he's not going to hang out with the creepy bunny anymore, there's not much reason to care about Rose. His character's going nowhere.

- Rose vs. Truth:
Good enough match so far.

Fine match for Superstars.

Kind of a mixed bag with that Miz promo. It's weird to think Ryder could be back in title contention. Maybe in GFW?

- Miz vs. Ryder:
This is going pretty well so far.

This match reminds me of the ECW brand days. I miss those; they were kind of a precursor to what's NXT now.

Good match overall. 

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Finn Balor and Baron Corbin have been booked for main roster live events this weekend. I could see Corbin debuting for the main roster at the Rumble. Balor could also be headed to the main roster in 2016.

Bob Backlund talked about his autobiography. I'm not shocked at all he still wants to wrestle; he stays in great shape.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. He didn't have many matches in NXT, period, so there weren't many for him to walk out on. He definitely ducked Samoa Joe, and generally the people he wrestled in NXT were small enough for him to dominate. That's not the case on the main roster.

2. Because WWE wants people to subscribe to the Network. They'd rather have people buy the PPVs than not watch them at all, but they're putting emphasis on the Network. That includes stretching the truth about where you can watch the shows.

3. Not unless WWE Corporate wants that to happen. Right now, it's between HHH and WWNLive. The "suits" higher up aren't really involved, so they're more or less staying out of it.

4. I think he knows the talents in NXT are to some degree "on loan" until they're deemed ready for the main roster. He's still involved to some degree when they get called up, and hey, who's to say he won't be booking those talents again at some point? Vince isn't going to be in charge forever.

5. If you don't have the time or desire to that, search for your favorite wrestlers and watch the episodes featuring them.

More wrestling tomorrow.
