You really don't think Neville/Breeze will be good? I think any NXT fan is excited to see them rock the house down.

I think the matches will be balls awesome. Problem is it's the top program, and involves a guy who essentially has a comedy gimmick, and I don't think that's particularly exciting. Like I said, it worked with Bo because of just how nuclear his heat was. People wanted to see him lose. Breeze is in that weird "sort-of-cheered heel" territory that every non-Bo Dallas NXT heel has had, which is a problem. They need either a legit top singles heel, or a face/face program hot enough that it wouldn't matter (i.e. what Zayn/Neville would've been).

This isn't a real federation though. We're lucky enough to see their development system. Why do you think they need a hot feud, since ratings don't matter? Zayn is already for prime time, he doesn't need the training at the top like Breeze and Neville do.

I wish they would do the Raw/Smackdown pre/post show outside the arena like this. It gives the whole thing a different feel.

Ratings don't matter but Network subs really really do, so all the exclusives on the Network, including NXT (the show not develompental in general), should be purpose-built for driving people to the network.

Man, once Natalya showed up Heyman went into pure awesome mode. I liked his "Sure, the Harts played fair, but the Flair walked away with the gold" line (or something along those lines).

The NXT Pre and Post shows have been good because they actually feel like Pre and Post shows should feel. And the people doing them take them seriously. The ones before and after Raw and Smackdown are just by the numbers and bland most of the time.

The Extreme Rules interviews were good. Wyatt Family tearing up the set, Big E doing an old school 30's boxer style promo and Cesaro and Heyman heeling it up.

And I hope it's working. I'm defending the Breeze win because he needs the experience. Zayn will be a superstar whether he wins the NXT title or not.

and they sell tickets to attend tapings and house shows. NXT isn't this thing existing in a vacuum WWE has honored us with the privilege of seeing it is a show they want people to watch and care about

NXT post shows feel like Football Postgames on Sunday/Monday night, where players will show up and talk to the cast.


Extreme Rules felt like an NBA Post Game Press Conference.
