I’m trying to not be a mark about it but I’m horrified about NXT going too far away from ‘here’s these indy dudes mixed with some folks we’ve been training having some good matches and learning to tell stories our way as well as which way to face when important stuff is happening in matches’.

If I look around in a year and it’s random meathead who looks stronger than he actually is vs too injured to be a pro athlete so he’s wrestling now dude for 2 hours every week, it might get rough. Even if that’s how it goes, those mfers had a good run at what they were doing and they ended up with some main event folks as well as some guys who can fill up a card with good stuff even if they aren’t booked well..solid hands and pros let’s say. Sometimes I think rasslin fans forget that they don’t like bullshit/bad undercards. Lots of bad eras in wwe feature impressively pointless and badly worked undercards. Early 90s for instance.
