Samoa Joe would be a great adition, and they could have the Usos work with him (them being from a samoan family and all...).
The layoffs have already started a couple of weeks ago, don't know if you've seen the news. I hate that they don't announce this sort of things on the TV shows. But yeah I read that the changes should continue.
I pretty much agree with everything you said, I'm still wondering if they are doing a stable around Nash, it should be interesting to see who they align him with. I could see Brodus Clay as an option (he needs someone to bring him up in the ranks), and a few of the former Nexus members. I'm not sure the plans they have for Cody Rhodes (read that Goldust might come back to feud with his little brother) and DiBiase.
Also watched NXT, fast forwarded the whole show, nothing new. That show sucks. They should probably come up with a mixture between Superstars and NXT and put it into one show, I don't think I can stand both shows every week. I wish they would just air FCW and skip all this nonsense.
