- They build story lines and let them play out without changing their minds mid way thru just because. If you're feuding it comes to a logical close every time. See just about all of the NXT world title switches.

- people have to go on win streaks to earn/work to title shots which is logical

- the GM's are footnotes not focal points (Regal compared to the Authority)

- it's not 3 hours and you leave wanting more.

- every featured act has some kind of back story going on. (See corny ass Bull Dempsey or Baron Corbit)

- they have mid card continuity
(Dana Brooke picking on the announcer girl weekly for no reason foreshadowing her eventually snapping)

- organic character builds that they let happen instead of forcing. (see Enzo and Cass, Bailey hugging people etc)

- Women's wrestlers are taken seriously and given time to work. While having characters and not all talking like 13 year olds at a mall food court.

- cats coming to the main roster and floundering are NOT their fault. Look at the booking from NXT to RAW. That's political

- the crowds are there to have fun and be a part. Not BE the show


Nope I like u Wacky (pause if applicable) but I can't agree on the NXT is overrated sentiment. It's one of the few things they're doing right by taking their time and not forcing shyt.

It's fell off because they've lost star power

Also they need to turn Joe ASAP

Yes it's overrated but so are shows like Lucha Underground and every show that get's high praise.. Some people will like it and some people don't.

I've always had the same sentiment regarding NXT being over-rated.

HHH is just showing Vince he haves what it takes to take over by putting indie companies out of business by getting their top stars.

The crowd puts everything over. NXT is hella annoying because of it. That, and the fact Trips fast tracks all his guys straight to the upper mid card is also getting annoying now.

There are things to like about it (less storylines, small setting, etc.) but the crowd kind of ruins the whole thing for me.

Owens walking in and getting the belt in his first/second match makes this whole post :trash:.
