So that pilot that leaked online has led to another pilot being prepared. I liked Saturday Morning Slam for its simplicity and fun quirky stuff, so I hope it's like this, but with kid announcers, hopefully teens. Though they should have Izzy as commissioner. WWE NXT LOOKING TO EXPAND TO KID'S FRIENDLY PROGRAMMING by Mike Johnson @ 12:50 PM on 10/13/2015 A casting notice that was released today via several outlets, including Backstage released that WWE is seeking to produce a pilot for a kid's friendly version of NXT, complete with 7-14 year old talents.

.....What?!
I am so confused what they are trying to do... NXT already is kid friendly. Just bleep out the swearing from the fans.
edit: After watching the pilot I admit I was wrong. That was great.

That pilot was pretty darn entertaining. If they keep it like that with the kid announcers, I'll definitely watch it fairly regularly.

I thought they already had an enthusiastic 12 year old by the name of Rich Brennan.

What is this first pilot people are talking about?? I didn't know about it either! I don't think this is what Tazz meant when he said "WE NEED SOME KIDS!"  This reminds me of when WWE had kids do the ring announcing on its syndicated shows. "Weighing in at 235 libs ...." (Apparently the kid didn't know that "lbs" is shorthand for "pounds." |

I just watched the pilot and thought it was fantastic. That's exactly what Superstars should be like.
The WWE will thrive when Vince is no longer in charge.

I hope they aren't wrestling, but as my friend and I just posited on Twitter, imagine how great a WWE styled/produced GUTS would be? Sort of a kid friendly Tough Enough with challenges, hosted by Bryan and Santino.

Chyne seems desperate to have an in with WWE again. What are the odds that she'll try to pass herself off as a kid by wearing a silor suit and sucking a lollipop to audition?

They should film it outside with a trampoline to make it authentic.
