— As noted over the weekend, there has been talk in WWE about taping NXT television every two weeks instead of every four weeks, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The upside of taping every other week is that the shows would be ‘fresher’ and crowds would not get burnt out by sitting through four weeks of tapings. The downside is that production costs would increase and the tapings do not bring in much revenue for WWE.
— The latest edition of Roddy Piper’s “Piper’s Pit” podcast, which features an interview with Jake Roberts, is now available. The official description for the show reads as follows:
