Marcus Louis, Sylvester Lefort and Bull Dempsey aren't with NXT anymore.i low key wish they would just call up most of the nxt guys/girls and just go back into developmental mode for a year or so...not necessarily call up EVERYBODY...but call up all the ones who are ready and give the people who have been just sitting down there a chance to build a character...
if i could sit thru full years of the vaudvillains(who i like), sylvester lafort & baby kane, the drifter, bull dempsey, etc...then i dont really mind if the star power kind of drops down for a year or so because they are signing everybody up anyway..theres always gonna be something to
Is It Time That We Accept That NXT Is For Us And WWE Is For Them?

Agreed. And as small as it is. I enjoy thr music they use. The rock themes are more fitting than the pop themes they use in the main roster. Takes me back to the wwf and early wwe days.
I always get hype when they play that music they used briefly before joe came out. Its a classic.

The problem is that sometimes it seems they're focusing too hard on that persona/gimmick stuff and too little on the actual wrestling. Teach the Drifter some psychology and in-ring storytelling first before you make me sit through his three minute entrance every goddamn week.

He's dry tho... I really would have liked to see his match with Crews. He has a dope look but he's dry as shyt.

I think they are on the right track where they're getting more people that have experience into NXT
It gives it more of a vibe of "ok you have to know what the fukk you're doing first, and then you can get into the major leagues."
that being said, you gotta remember that NXT is only there to set up the main roster in the long run so you need what's going on with the main roster stuff to make sense too.

It's pretty much the same thing to me, but I prefer the larger venues, mixture of crowds, roster size, and overall look and feel of WWE. When you want a fast paced spot fest, WWE does it better on their weekly shows than NXT. If you want straight wrestling, WWE does it better on their weekly shows. Check how often we get "this is awesome chants" and "Holy shyt" chants past year on raw.
Just NXT is far and beyond better on "big match PPV" matches than WWE tends to be. But NXT suffers from the same things WWE suffers from. What they're doing to Apollo and Corbin is criminal. They sort of did the same thing to Breeze, and now he's suffering on mainstage. All these loses and lack of main event caliber, just hurts all three talented guys. If I've never seen Joe on TNA or ROH, I would assume he was a very boring, average wrestler. Emma deserves a title reign before Asuka (unless she's permanent in main roster now, but I'm in no mood to see her continuously lose to Asuka). NXT is a nice alternative, but it's overhyped. Not as alternative and fresh as Lucha Underground, but it's pretty much run by a financial powerhouse, so people think it's the best shyt out.
NXT benefits from less ppv's and only an hour a week, so it's hard to fukk that up up, but there have been better WWE ppv's than Takeover events (especially in 2015), and I feel like smarks are in denial or we just differ in opinions/preferences. People forget WWE it's a 3 hour show live, with two other weekly taped-shows without breaks. They do the best they can on main stage to keep it interesting and keep momentum up.
In conclusion, this is my essay.
And please point out these WWE PPVs that were even half as good as the Takeover events.

I get what your saying about the big stage stuff. But at the end of the day people have different reasons why they like wrestling. WWE can feature some good matches on their weekly shows but they tend to redo matches and they dont pay attention to continuity/details of their shows which is something that NXT, LU, New Japan, ROH, and even TNA is doing a better job than them at it.
To your point about Corbin/Apollo I think HHH and Co have selected great mixture for their roster because most of their roster unlike alot of other promotions have gimmicks/Character that everybody (Kids, casuals and hardcore Fans)like and can identify with.
