As he does before every NXT TakeOver special, Paul “Triple H” Levesque met with the pro wrestling media on a conference call this afternoon. Here’s a rundown of some of the topics that were discussed:<\/p>\n
– TakeOver: Brooklyn feeling a little bit like NXT’s WrestleMania and the brand starting to fire on all cylinders again.<\/p>\n
– Triple H sending his thoughts and prayers to Ric Flair as he battles health issues.<\/p>\n
– Working with other promoters like Gabe Sapolsky, the PROGRESS co-owners, and Dave Prazak. Triple H clarified that promoters that they work with aren’t officially employed with WWE but there’s an opportunity to be around each other and learn.<\/p>\n
– Being blown away by the Mae Young Classic tapings and a lot of people who worked on it thinking it was better than the Cruiserweight Classic.<\/p>\n
– Experimenting with binge-watching and on-demand programming with the Mae Young Classic release schedule.<\/p>\n
– Success stories from the Performance Center and being thrilled with the process while never being totally satisfied with the results.<\/p>\n
– The potential for wrestlers to move from the main roster to NXT.<\/p>\n
– A rundown of the TakeOver card and NXT becoming a hotbed.<\/p>\n
