I don’t know if this is supposed to be a hot take but Steen winning the belt in a bad match and then having an endless boring feud with Balor legit killed my interest in NXT.

Like, I really really hated the match where Sami dropped the title to Owens. Just a completely deflating feel bad match where Sami got squashed and looked like a geek after he had just scratched and clawed his way to the top to finally beat PAC and then that was his reward. Injuries and getting called up prevented him from ever getting his win back so it was just a total gently caress you to anyone who cared about him and then NXT switched immediately into their "the hottest free agent in sports entertainment is here in NXT!" era and it's all been downhill since.

Yeah but its RoH, AEW would have a more reputable Hall of Fame right now if they opened one.

Also I cannot find the original AJ Styles TNA plauqe image, only the parodies of it. Was going to use that to illustrate and RoH Hall of Fame but did find this.

I like how to the bitter final breath they never let go of the fact this marriage is a horrible idea but it's going to happen through sheer stubborness. No matter how hard the wedding tried to fail it made it all the way to the end.

I'm weird, which is no surprise, but I could never get into Triple H's NXT because it always just felt like the guys and wrestling I'd already seen elsewhere but in the WWE style that felt inferior, played out, and limited. It just wasn't a product I liked even if it was a cast I was familiar with and liked.

The weirder part is probably that I'm mildly curious about current NXT? I think its just that I've watched a lot of OVW along with other "teaching feds" like Chikara, CZW, Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, Paragon Pro Wrestling, etc. I've just always enjoyed that kind of product because there's something new and interesting about it to me. I don't know most of the players so even if they're green and not very good I'm just curious to watch and find out. At least for awhile.

The problem is two hours a week is way too long for that kind of product. If it were a 1 hour show I think I could maybe kind of get into the subpar "what am I gonna get this week?" vibe but I've watched a few episodes lately and at two hours not only do the episodes drag on longer than my interest can hold but it means I get the same basic people each week so the curiosity of new wrestlers burns out quickly to "that's just not someone I'm interested in watching."
