I thought I'd seen the end of Rob Van Dam aka RVD, but he's still right here on NXT. Apparently there's an ECW version of NXT. To be honest I don't follow NXT so I don't know most of the things that goes on in there but I've seen them thriving well.
It's still not big compared to RAW and SMACKDOWN but WWE has a very smart trick. What they do is move the famous wrestlers to show up on NXT for you know, clout. The only reason I watched NXT a few moments ago to write this blog is because I saw Rob Van Dam so their trick is working.
They had Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, the Judgement day and many others how up and even compete in matches on NXT to promote that brand.
How is RVD still alive though, the guy is always high and still very strong. Now he's probably going to be active on NXT and maybe that'll draw more attention to the brand.
