A typical 'before they were famous' type compilation beckons, but with OVW footage in short supply on the Network, this ought to be an interesting one.

Obviously, NXT has grown well beyond mere 'developmental' into a cult brand of its own, but as the successor to the Ohio training school, there was once a time it was positioned solely to prepare green talent for the main roster. With the Orlando-based phenomenon now presenting some of the best matches in North American wrestling on a semi-regular basis, it's easy to forget its more humble origins, and a DVD telling its story will make for interesting viewing.

Expect copious amounts of NXT stars past and present eulogising Triple H's role in the success of the brand, to the point of nauseum.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
