Birthday not Birthay. 51 years old and I still can’t spell or type with my right thumb. At least @NXT has flourished in those last ten years.

Speaking of NXT, the brand’s first triple-crown winner Johnny Gargano was interviewed in character by TMZ. When asked about fans still referring to NXT as the “developmental brand,” Gargano had this to say.
That’s BS. That’s complete garbage, and it’s something that me and a lot of guys have worked to dispel for a very long time. Anybody out there that uses the words ‘main roster’ when talking about Raw and SmackDown, how about you watch the show on Wednesday night? You’ll see the real main roster. You’ll see the best wrestling show on the planet. You will see the best locker room on the planet led by me.
