I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard will be "producing" NXT with Dave Meltzer later adding that "McMahon and Prichard will be behind the big decisions, not the little ones, and will be behind marketing, promotion, and direction. Their role in booking >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>may<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< only be regarding those at the top."

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.

You can tell me the Io/Stark wacky Japanese food segment wasn't as bad as Johnny Drip Drip, but we're really splitting hairs we don't have to.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Yeah, I can't speak to the relative difference between RAW and NXT because I don't watch either regularly enough to make such distinctions. But I tried to give NXT a shot a few times and while it was a bit better in the early days it definitely felt more and more WWE and by the time it moved to USA I couldn't really tell the difference. NXT had a bit more young/indie talent and RAW had more of the same old same old but structurally in the booking, production, layout, etc the house style was firmly in place.

Matter of fact it was watching NXT that made me really capable of seeing the formula plainly. After a couple of weeks I could basically script the matches and show out of instinct and pattern.

IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!
I'd already long given up on NXT well before AEW existed just because it seemed pointless getting behind all these talent that were 99% guaranteed to get called up and have their careers slowly choked to death on the main roster, and that's when the show was good. At this point, now that the talent have no future and the show it self is just guaranteed garbage? Ain't never going back.

I do actually feel sorry for people who were serious NXT fans (and there were quite a few of them at one point). They had something they thought was special, and it first got used as a weapon in a game of "let's you and him fight" and then just bled dry.
I was for about as long as I could; creating that new NXT thread, but then burned out of it with most wrestling since I didn't like the idea I was being fash for watching and enjoying it

I've never seen this, but would very much like to. I also find it impossible to guess when this would actually have been - seems like it could have occurred at any point in the last 15 years.
