Chavo Guerrero is doing wrestling training for the upcoming GLOW Netflix series. They seem to be making the right moves with the project.
WWE Network is adding a "hidden gems" collection. That's quite the eclectic and potentially amazing mix.
NXT will debut in Japan with a show in Osaka on December 3, right before heading to Australia and New Zealand. Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka have already been announced. I assume Hideo Itami will be there, too. And maybe Kota Ibushi? Either way, this is another big milestone for the brand. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan within a few weeks? The global takeover continues.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I wouldn't mind him getting a fresh start as a singles star and babyface on Raw. It's worth trying something new to see what kind of range he has. I wouldn't do anything crazy like shave his beard and make him wear polka dots or anything, nor change his name. Just a little more lucid and focused.
Nothing to really add to 2.
3. I'd like to see the heel teams get some rebuilding/"reboots." All the teams could use more character progression. Breezango in particular definitely have the personality and in-ring skills to do more than they're doing. I'd like to see The Ascension get James Mitchell or someone else as a manager to kick them up a notch. The teams of Harper/Rowan and (eventually) The Revival could also really add to the division if they want to go those routes.
4. I think they were headed that route with Roman Reigns at WM31, but fans rejected him. It looks like beating Brock clean would be the new Streak, and they're saving it for the perfect opportunity because they can only do it once.
5. It's good for other countries where WWE doesn't have as much of a native-language presence. And for technophobes who don't trust the Internet. I'm sure WWE would like to just have people use the Network, but they're not there just yet. Cable and satellite are still alive as mediums for a lot of people.
More wrestling tomorrow.
