ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.

How do all these guys have this much star power?

They only do like 5 matches per PPV so they just only have people who rule

Blessed be the tailors
The masks are cut to fit

Blessed be the woodworkers
The crosses and the gallows

Blessed be the forgers of iron
And the spikes and the barbwire

Blessed be the stone cutters
It took a quarry to bury the dreams

Because NXT is interested in building stars to in turn build the brand, as opposed to diminishing the stars to make sure nobody is bigger than the brand.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

NXT is a really basic show most weeks, which is a good thing quite seriously because it means they build up sensible storylines that then lead to these giant loving blowoff spectaculars at their TakeOver shows. They pace everything really goddamn well.

So far, I'm pretty drat impressed. I don't really know these guys but they're telling a hell of a story in the ring and the wrestling is damned entertaining.

Man that's such a bad strategy. Just build stars and if they get too big and leave? gently caress it you go and build more stars.

nXt is a gift and a curse with this loving company.

he pulled a Nakamura and wanted to try elsewhere, and it will likely go just as well as that did

plus NJPW has a new ace in Takahashi so no big loss*

*assuming he ever comes back, but in the meantime roid golem Ishimori is doing really well
