I'm going to be brave and say after 3 shows that NXT is good. It is like CW wrestling and I like cw slop.

Edit: I'm enjoying both AEW and WWE content.

You should look up season 1 - 3 of Lucha Underground. Very quick shows, a lot of wrestlers that are featured in AEW and WWE were there and it's just balls to the wall crazy. Wrestling at it's schlockiest best.

Jason Vorhees is a prominent character. To this day I still love saying, my little brother the monster Matanza Cueto.

Bit late for the talk about Heath Slater being awesome, but you can't talk about him being awesome and not mention his promo after he had to wrestle Sin Cara in the dark:

I can't belive the mafia Don gimmick nxt guy does an accent and his cornies constantly do the Italian fingers, under jaw sweep, and fugitaboutit hands.

Edit: one of the women wrestlers has a new gimmick of creepy, but sexy, but Brooker t who is always horned up was like "Bro, this is weird."

I've never heard it, but he is the best 2nd man WWE has. The dude radiates excitement for what is in the ring. He sounds like he loves it.

He uses "WOOOOOOOW" too much though, but his "WHHHHOOOOOAAAAA" when something fun happens is infectious.

Booker should pay the actual Shucky Ducky, one of our great comedians for stealing his gimmick.

NXT is cool, i’d have liked it more if I was in my early 20s. Hickenbottom is a hell of a scout and booker.

That Evans kid they just introduced is going to be a star somewhere if he doesn't get injured.

I 100% think Bron Breakker and Ilya Dragunov get the call ups this year.

The GM of NXT is funny too. Whenever a wrestler comes and complains to her she just makes the matches harder or more complicated. It is a good gimmick

They are and it is stupid and fun

Edit: one of the stables is called the mean girls club. They have really leaned into a part of NXT being like a tv/movie high school or university with cliques and stuff.

Then you get things like the underground fight club stable or the mafia or the Christian nationalists now

Sheamus isn't even fat. He's just not as cut as he once was. Like he's still in great shape. I think the tights didn't do him any favors though

I've loved him since WWECW as well, but my love went into overdrive first when the absolutely hilarious pure white Extreme Rules poster dropped, which is still the funniest poster ever, and then again when he won the Rumble and me and my now-partner popped off so hard on Twitter an rear end in a top hat mutual blocked us both because they were mad he beat Jericho :allears:

Since then he's just been doing fun poo poo constantly. The series and team with Claudio was great, his dressing up in a bowler hat and clobbering people was great, and the match with WALTER at Clash At The Castle was great, and now he's brought back Lobsterhead! The only time I've been down on him it's not been his fault, e.g. 18 Seconds. Also one time during the Bryan feud he said a line that sounded like "What if I ripped your head off and hosed your girlfriend", which I still reference.

It's like when Shawn got back into ring shape for the WM appearance thinking Stone Cold and Foley would too.

Sheamus texting AJ and Orton and they're talking about how big they've gotten. :fella: "hold my beer"
