2421121, RE: They have a roster of about 44 main roster men and 15 women

Nxt gets the simple stuff right by trucking along as an unapologetic wrestling show that follows wrestling rules.
- They pretend everyone is of some importance.
- Heels and faces play their damn roles! Kevin steen is a mfing heel. He's lying. He's all about himself. He double-crossed and critical'd his indy homeboy for a developmental wwe title...and he did it immediately upon arrival. Imagine what he's gonna do him when they are on the main roster.
- About that....the show is booked like just about everyone is there to win a title. Even if they get caught in some personal shit from time to time, the end game is to be winning a title. Imagine that. When was the last time R-Truth even said 'title'?
- The buck stops at the wrestling. If you suck at wrestling, you're not winning and keeping titles. Fuck your 'look'. Wrestle.
