NXT July 24th 2014 - WWE Praises Putin

Just when we thought we couldn't get any lower... Back in 2014, WWE writes praise about Vladamir Putin. For heels who aren't even Russian. This was a post-Crimea, post-Donbas. Given how the McMahon family donates politically, it's hardly surprising, but it's still shocking to watch during a week of intense violence in Ukraine.

Charlotte and Summer Rae are put in the difficult position of blowing off a heel vs heel feud with minimal experience. Mojo Rawley continues to be pushed as a top guy, whilst also getting squashed. And the tag-division stops this from being completely unwatchable.

Welcome to TEN-XT, an officially unofficial WWE:NXT history podcast. Three lifelong friends discuss the episode of NXT that came out ten years ago today. And along the way, the wider world of the time - Including sports, news and of course... wrestling.

We are not affiliated with WWE in any way, nor are we pro wrestlers. But we are fans of NXT, that IS true. Just British lads talking wrestling, it's a stereotype at this point, so you know the drill.
