Modern Wrestling Review8:39 – 39:13

Ron KilbournHost

8:39

Friday.

Cole DawsonHost

8:39

Yeah, I watched SmackDown and Raw.

Cole DawsonHost

8:41

Was there other wrestling news or just the story of that happening? Well,

Ron KilbournHost

8:47

Halloween Havoc took place, but I didn't watch that.

Ron KilbournHost

8:50

That's an NXT thing.

Ron KilbournHost

8:51

Yeah,

Cole DawsonHost

8:51

me either.

Ron KilbournHost

8:53

But there was a noteworthy thing coming out of this that we'll get into.

Ron KilbournHost

8:58

I might be watching NXT today.

Ron KilbournHost

9:00

Yes.

Ron KilbournHost

9:01

Because a lot of newsworthy stuff.

Ron KilbournHost

9:02

CM Punk, at the end of Halloween Havoc, challenged one NXT champion, Grayson Waller, for the NXT championship.

Ron KilbournHost

9:11

And that is certainly going to be a reason to tune into NXT.

Ron KilbournHost

9:15

Followed by John Cena recruiting yet another invitee to the John Cena Classic on NXT.

Ron KilbournHost

9:21

So, blood and guts is happening.

Ron KilbournHost

9:24

That's the only reason why those two are appearing today.

Ron KilbournHost

9:27

On NXT TV on a Wednesday night.

Ron KilbournHost

9:30

It's Wednesday.

Ron KilbournHost

9:31

You know what that means.

Ron KilbournHost

9:32

Counter-programming.

Cole DawsonHost

9:33

Yes.

Cole DawsonHost

9:34

I just wonder what the reason they moved to Wednesday night this week was.

Cole DawsonHost

9:39

Was it literally just to go up against us and stack the show? Or did they get preempted for something and had to do Wednesday night and said, fuck it, we don't want to get killed in the ratings.

Cole DawsonHost

9:49

We're going to stack the show.
