VKM's New NXT Details: Big Brother (Charity, not 1984)

Vince McMahon unveiled more details on what NXT is going to be all about to Variety today. It'll consist of 8 FCW rookies teaming up with a WWE veteran apiece and competing in a sort of The Ultimate Fighter/Tough Enough mash-up. The show will have 2-3 seasons a year, which means we'll have anywhere from 4 to 6 months to watch the rooks progress. The top performers will be signed to RAW or Smackdown.

Again, I hope that it's not just going to be FCW wrestlers, but some current ECW guys too. I mean, if they're going to be this invested in Vance Archer, the Dudebusters and even Vladimir Kozlov (if they want him to go face, which is a turrible idea), they're going to need some help. Yoshi Tatsu, Big Zeke and Zack Ryder may be ready for the bigs, but that doesn't mean EVERYONE from ECW is.
