In a recent interview on The Wrestling Inc. Daily, The Blue Meanie discussed NXT moving to Tuesday nights, the Wednesday Night Wars, and much more. Here are some of the highlights:
The Blue Meanie on Cameron Grimes’ gimmick in NXT: “He’s so entertaining just doing the stock market gimmick. He’s entertaining. He’s a hell of an athlete. He was trained by some good people and coached along by Shane Helms. I know they had a relationship. He’s super entertaining. To me, NXT’s the superior brand right now.”
On NXT moving to Tuesday nights: “Well, here’s the thing, Wednesday night was originally NXT’s night anyway. I don’t know why people got mad at NXT for going to two hours. I’ve always been accustomed, since I got the WWE Network, to watch NXT on Wednesday nights. I don’t know how they were painted as the bad guy here. It was their night, but then again, moving to Tuesdays is a win for the fans because you’re not really forcing anybody to choose, so to speak. When the fans are forced to choose, somebody’s got to lose, and the whole thing with the ratings is laughable now that we live in the age of streaming, and DVR and all that good stuff.
