They'll be split up before main roster or 3 months into main roster like sanity.

Kevin Dunn has almost nothing to do with production in NXT. Jeremy Borash oversees all of it in NXT.

UUDD videos with Da Party (Woods, Cole, Breeze, and Cesaro) are the most entertaining content WWE has under its umbrella.

e: just watched that Hit Row thing and Swerve comes off as a HUGE star in it. Good stuff.

Hurt Business was the most promising faction in WWE in decades, they super hosed that one up. I'd like to think that if we weren't in COVID hell the crowds would have elevated them to a place where they couldn't be broken up that way. Total loving waste of amazing talent and their look was awesome, it was like everything Evolution tried to be but they wore it so much better.

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
If they had hit row as a live show debut, they would’ve been made faces. Hot lines always go over. They seem like aggressive cool people who want to make money, not particularly villainous!

The regal sketch was great but I don’t know why he didn’t pull a funny face at the end, he’s more than capable. And I don’t know why he would be sad that his pencil got broken. If that was the punchline he should’ve been sadder.

The Cameron sketch was funny, I wonder what the payoff will be.

I should evaluate the promo to see if it had the cadence for the crowd to chant "WHAT!?" inbetween each pause.

Don't worry, it's not because they're black.










It's because they're black and they're actually expressing and embracing their blackness instead of suppressing it and showing as little personality and identity as possible.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
NXT is so painful to me because they've simultaneously got some of the best and some of the worst characters in wrestling so the average show is just not worth watching. I'll check clips of the things I like, but it doesn't feel must-see for me anymore.

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.

TUE theme was just a direct knockoff of Bombtrack by RATM hence why it ruled.
