*The Gargano stable sucks

*Long women matches

*The Dusty Classic isn’t that good this year

*Io Sharai being booked like Brock Lesnar

*Having talented cats on nonstop losing streaks (Rhea, Swerve, Timothy Thatcher)

*The recent trend of making bitter enemies who tried to kill each other one week, become a tag team tha next.

The only things that are still good on this show are

Undisputed Era, Pete Dunne, Leon Ruff getting a push, Karrion Kross, and Ciampa

You kind of right.

Gargano/Thatcher vs Cole/Strong was good from last week's show though.

Definitely NO where what it used to be. But I will also say that the NXT crowds did make theirs shows better as well and separated them from the Raw & SD. But even before crowds went away they were starting to fall off.

It’s been going downhill for a while if we’re being honest :yeshrug:

no crowds is highlighting their issues even more

I disagree. While it’s not as good as year in a half, it’s gotten better the past couple of months. It was bad between Wrestlemania through September, but it’s improving. Once they got it out of there heads that they shouldn’t hot shot or try to beat AEW, the booking has gotten better. Not great, but good. They definitely need the crowd more than than the other shows though

:francis:I tried to watch it, but breh....it's unbearable as hell:camby:

  • Its low key the American version of Stardom (more strength in the women's division than men's division)
  • Most of the wrestlers are meh to :camby:status
  • Undisputed Era worn out its welcome (dudes are not the Four Horsemen...knock it the fukk off:camby:)
  • Most of the shows are like WCW cosplay because Trips really miss that era
  • Once Keith Lee left, it was a wrap
  • NXT UK>>>>>NXT
It just seems like a slog to watch even with every specialize match thrown into the mix. It's just downright boring.

They put on great matches but its hard for me to be invested in a lot of the guys that have stuck around for 3+ years.

Takeovers used to be must watch....guaranteed piff everytime.

Haven't watched one in months now :unimpressed:

The whole promotion has been built around Undisputed Era and Gargano for years now because they know they can't move them midgets to the main roster as Cokeboy will do nothing with them.

shyt is stale as fukk

I've never been interested in NXT (not because I didn't like it, it was just never a priority) but I definitely remember when it had all the buzz. From 2014 to 2016, it was everybody's favorite. The first time major call-ups happened, things slowed down for a little, but I feel like it was still a hot product up until 2019. Now, I don't hear anybody talk about it like that.

But 2014-2016 NXT? The NXT that made the main roster jealous because they couldn't top their pay-per-views if they tried? Prime era for fukkery. :myman:

Haven't really been to interested in NXT since the 2018 group with Almas, Ricochet, Black, UE, AOP, War Raiders, Dream, Gargano, Ciampa, Shayna, Kairi, and Ember. It hasn't been terrible but it's missing that magic it once had despite it's strong roster.

NXT is solely crowd driven

its like going to a concert without a crowd. The music and artist is trying but it dont hit right without the crowd. The crowd drives the development kids to perform better and they help get the kids over (ala Tye Dilllenger although he isnt a kid)

RAW & SD dont need a giant crowd as much because they are the top tier performers in America and it has a longevity of being on USA network so people know what to expect when they tune in. NXT is still new to the USA network audience and its cringe to see unproven guys wrestling with no real crowd like Leon Ruff or that one gay dude (Forgot his name)

I cant watch all of NXT but i definitely skip around and see some cool things like that Asian storyline currently and i somewhat like Gargano's new stable. I cant get behind this random singles push of Kyle O' Reily. Thats when i tuned out
