I think it's funny how every girl in the main roster is booked as a complete rear end in a top hat and in NXT, they're all "you've earned my respect" and tearful after they fight.

It's so refreshing to have a show with a theme running through every match and a name that makes sense.

NXT is better than the main roster, quality wise.

Wow what an easy card to figure out if you haven't watched NXT since the last special. Tag Team tournament, 2 matches that I guess have a story (who is Asuka) and then the ironman match which is why everyone is tuning in!

I disagree..... they're just booked way, way, way better.

The main roster has a ton of amazing talent on it, most of whom are booked awfully.

with Vince McMahon writing pretty much everyone comes across as a dumb rear end in a top hat all the time

gently caress just look at what Kidd did when he came back down. The main roster has tons of talent, more than NXT, it just doesn't know how to book.

In terms of average quality, I'd say they're about even, WWE maybe a bit higher, but that's because the main roster is so huge and has a lot of good people foundering in the midcard. NXT generally makes good use of what they have.
