-We are looking for reports from the NXT live events listed below. If you are going to one of these events or another upcoming show and want to help by sending in a report, contact me at dotnetjason@gmail.com
-NXT is in Sebring, Florida at Highlands Today Center tonight with the local crew.
-NXT is in Jacksonville, Florida at Maxwell Snyder Armory on Friday with the local crew.
-NXT is in Citrus Springs, Florida at Citrus Springs on Saturday with the local crew.
-Monday’s WWE Raw received a majority vote of B as the letter grade with 42 percent of the vote. I gave the show a C grade. The company was shorthanded due to injuries and it didn’t do much to in terms of increasing my level of enthusiasm for the Royal Rumble.
-Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown received a C grade with 46 percent of the vote. I gave the show a D grade and that feels slightly generous.
