so the kliq really are taking over wrestling.

[rprince18]

Several months ago, WZ was the first to break the news that Triple H has been pushing for an overhaul to the WWE developmental system. With Triple H now assuming the role of head of talent development, The Wrestling Observer has provided more details on Triple H's plan for the FCW facility.

It's expected that Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman will be brought into FCW to handle the day-to-day operations of the facility and to handle the development of new talent. Whatever changes to take place, as we initially reported, a pretty major overhaul of the current system is expected to take place.

Amazing how much the Kliq actually took over the wrestling business if this comes out to be true. When HBK wants to work dude him i`d love to see what HHH has lined up for him.

Oh look at the timing of the FCW releases.

[Turd Ferguson]

Everyone in the kliq has an excellent mind for "the business" whenever they're not directly involved in the angle.

Waltman is still capable of putting on exellent matches, and Nash is one of the top promo guys in history.

About time somebody overhaul FCW. Here's a couple suggestions: 1) don't hire more people than you intend to use and 2) slap the dumb s***s who think it's cool to drink and drive. That might go a long way in cleaning up the dev.

And whatever you do, remember crowns are for wearing and sandwiches are for eating.

I agree on 2, but 1 is tricky.

While I do think that they should be sure not to overhire, you also have to factor in injuries and other unforeseen circumstances. Plus, people who might seem like hot prospects can turn out to be total washes, like Nathan Jones.

I approve of this. Everyone says that Nash has an excellent mind for the business and X-Pac would make a fine in-ring trainer. Some fine wrestlers will come out of FCW in the future.

People complain for years about FCW being a clone factory. If the Kliq can do a better job, let them. WWE has to start creating some major new stars while they still got breathing room. Don't need to wait until the 12th hour like WCW and to a lesser extent, TNA.

[Tyfo]

I love that move. Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman aren't yes men who will just love every clone that's sent down to them. We all know they are more then willing to let Vince know that someone sucks.

Plus both are very smart and I trust them more then what's currently in place down there.

Seems like decent news at least on the surface. You could do worse than to learn from Nash and Waltman about the industry.


Assuming all this is true, also good on Waltman for rehabilitating himself and being hired back on in the business. Hopefully he's able to resist the temptations of the industry. Though he's in a better position since he won't just be traveling on the road constantly with the guys, wrestling is still wrestling and I'm sure at least a scaled down version of that party atmosphere exists even in FCW.

[Hit Girl]

It's good news. I always liked the Kliq.

[kingoftheindies]

good move. Despite the crap the Kliq gets, they all have great minds for the business.

If you listen to any of Nash's shoots, and you can tell he gets it.

X-Pac also is an enteraining interview, but he is also the guy that Vince had help Jericho put together WWF matches when Y2J first came over.

The biggest complaint I've heard about development (and this goes back to OVW and DSW) is that, while they do learn how to work the WWE style, the wrestlers do not learn how to work a crowd or how to use psychology.

[Hit Girl]

The biggest criticisms of the Kliq I've heard came from Bam Bam Bigelow and Shane Douglas that HHH carried Nash and HBK's bags and that Douglas didn't pin HBK for the IC title. Big deal. I'd rather watch the Kliq during the mid-90's than Douglas and Bigelow, and then the "Curtain Call" incident, which was overblown IMO. Everyone and their dog knew that wrestling was only scripted entertainment. Breaking character for one group hug shouldn't have been a big deal

Don't forget shitting where it doesn't belong.

They have a good mind for the business. In my opinion to make the future of the business they dont need to focus on "cleaning up" the developmentals. It seems to be a much cleaner crop these days than the stories of coke, alcaholismn and roids from back in the day. What they need to focus on is creating talented guys who can get over with the crowd as well as wrestle in the ring.

As simple as it sounds I think WWE has through their developmental program watered down the "talent" into a bland crop of interchangable parts with very few standouts. I guess the reasoning behind this is that if anyone were to walk, quit or Lesnar them they'd be replaced by someone whos strikingly simular. They need stand out talent to come up, not a crop of guys trained by the same handful of guys to wrestle to same style of match and have generic characters.

[zeez]

Also I think they just hired Billy Gunn to be the new janitor.

by cleaning up I think they mean changing how developmental is run. All FCW has been lately is giving guys under contract a place to learn the WWE style, but they really don't develop much else. Too many times, guys from FCW who look lie can't miss prospects are duds on the main roster. Same thing happened in OVW and FCW too much.

Some of it is on creative, but I have seen some guys who were money in developmental just crap the bed on the main roster mainly because they don't learn all the little things that helps make a superstar.
