Alot of these guys & girls are not ready for tv hint there in NXT first impressions matter & a lot of these talents get exposed
I think the idea is letting them learn as they go and get used to working live tv so in a year or two when they're more polished and get called up to the main roster it is a more seamless transition than it was in the past
cora jade got a bit of blowback because she ethered darby allin and the hardcore marks in the PC tried to sabotage her because of it, not because she cant wrestle
Before it was work NXT houseshows to get use to the live crowd & overall atmosphere till you was tv ready now with no more houseshows & them trying to fast track people their just throwing people on tv who they don't even have faith will be there in six months.I think the idea is letting them learn as they go and get used to working live tv so in a year or two when they're more polished and get called up to the main roster it is a more seamless transition than it was in the past
as far as fans being judgemental, the only wrestler I've seen still get blowback from their past mistakes is lash legend and we know why
none of that really matters by the time they get called up anyways because the casual audience that watches raw/smackdown arent checking for nxt like that anyways so these people will be fresh faces to a lot of fans and by that point ready
Live events are coming back for NXT. Blame the pandemic for them going away. There's plenty of green people on TV in other companies.
Considering RAW/SD teethers around 2 million and NXT does 500-700k id say there are a lot of casual viewers and at the very least people who simply don't care to watch NXT so either way, when people from NXT come up to the main roster they're usually fresh faces to most main roster viewers. You have dudes in NXT getting Steve Austin pops in the CWC who come out to CDQ on the main roster when they debut, it's a clear distinction.
Yeah the NXT PC crowd are the same people each week. Raw and SD are in a different city every show. It's how NXT has been since it's inception at Full Sail.
IMO the ability for a developmental wrestler to make mistakes, learn and grow. When you on national TV, people (whether it be fans, USA or WWE execs) expect a polished product. If one of these trainees fukks up, it goes on all the stupid botch twitter accounts and can set a wrestler back. If a wrestler does somethin cringey...the same thing. Which I think is a reason for alot of the quick turnover. They should go backed to taped episodes on Peacock. Just how I see it.
Imagine Single A baseball on ABC or gym boxing matches on ESPN.
Does anyone know what Zo was thinking here? Love this gif.
