WWE NXT Thread

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

That's why she's in NXT to learn the nuances of mic and ring work. We're kind of spoiled by NXT and forget for many-many of these wrestlers they are there to learn, lol.

My statement was really harsh looking back on it now. You are right though man. That's the whole point. Of course I hope she improves.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

IDK man I wouldn't say you're too harsh. I don't think she has 'it' to be a star in WWE, she's not that hot for them to be pushing her as the 'super diva', her voice is annoying as hell, and her powerhouse stuff is nothing compared to Charlotte. She'd fit in more with the WWE divas than the NXT women tho.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

I think I only say it's harsh now because I almost never have said anything like that since I've been here with y'all. Plus if it's what you gotta do to feed your family and all that stuff then I wouldn't want someone to tell me I'm garbage at what I do ya know.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

I actually think Dana is a decent promo especially when you consider she basically just walked through the door.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

I get that Nxt is "developmental" but part of that argument goes out the window when they're an actual touring brand now. So the show isn't just about developing talent, it's also now about making names that people want to go see.

Tying that into Brooke, we've seen this character done before much better by Beth Phoenix. So that makes it hard to get behind anything Brooke has done.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

Part of learning how to wrestle is being in front of different crowds, so I don't have any issue with touring.

I just have one major pet peeve with NXT lately, its the crowd chanting "you can't wrestle" at some people. Thats a stupid chant for a developmental territory.

To be fair, I've only heard it chanted at Eva Marie, whom wrestled at a PPV and on the main roster before even touching NXT.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

I've heard it chanted at Corbin as well recently, and despite whatever people think about Eva Marie she doesn't deserve it either.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

It's the downside of building an enthusiastic crowd at Full Sail. They see them so much, it makes it easier for them to get behind a wrestler, and that usually works out well. They also lately have a tendency to try and start chants for really, really, really stupid things because they've been empowered by being 'part' of the product.

NXT isn't developmental, despite what they call it.

Not anymore. Their days at the performance center is their only dev work. They make sure the wrestlers are fairly polished when they throw them on the tv show. Hence all the indie signings, and more to come.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

I'm really not trying to beat a dead horse, but this is a crazy argument. Just because they signed a few indie guys who they're polishing before they move up, doesn't mean its suddenly not a developmental territory.

If you take Bayley, Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and maybe Emma and put them on the main roster(like they should be), you still have 7 or 8 other women who are all below average wrestlers and/or have no characters. That would completely kill the womens division in NXT.

Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, Sami Zayn and Samoa Joe will all be moved up before too long, some sooner than others. There goes the mens division.

Will it be developmental then? lol

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

Well, they're also trying to bring in more part time guys to fill out the roster when those guys head up, and there will supposedly be main roster talents working the nxt tour.

That said, it's still developmental. It's just more like triple A than single or double A. There's still guys there that are still clearly developing. The top of the card is all main roster ready, but Blake/Murphy, Enzo/Cass, Corbin, etc aren't ready yet.

Depends. Will their focus actually be on development or not.

As soon as their focus shifted to touring/competing with the indies, it became a separate brand. Not developmental.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

I consider NXT basically like AAA baseball or AHL hockey or something like that. To me, that's what it is compared to WWE. Maybe more like AAA baseball just cause you do see main roster people occasionally appear on the show and all.
