Spin: Where was the moment NXT started to decline for TSC?

[krazykid18]

For me never has and never will. It's the show I enjoy the most.

Of course but these people are juelzing right now cuz they don't want too say the truth when AEW came along and gave them a real "alternative" to WWE... and then NXT was remembered as a WWE product and then the hate and pick a side battles started....

Started in 2016 with Joe and Nakamura's boring runs (hate to type that, they're two of my favorites), and by the time Bobby Roode gets the belt for his 2017 run, it's over for me. As great as Asuka is, she was never going to draw me in like that, and don't even get me started on the never ending Gargano/Ciampa/Cole/Undisputed Era nonsense. Some good matches in there, but none of those wrestlers are even remotely interesting to me.

When they moved to USA and went from one hour to two hours.

Doesn't bother me. Let them watch AEW. I won't.

Yeah. Gonna disagree.

The last ep of Raw I watched was the one where New Day beat Demolition's record in late 2016. As far as other shows - The Hardys were running the Broken storyline on Impact that Summer and Omega/ Okada started their series of matches in Jan 2017 and Naito was on the come-up too. If you fukk with wrestling in general - there have been alternatives available for years.

When dusty died

/Thread

Dusty turned them boys and girls to men and women. He molded those wrestlers into superstars. Look at the track record compared to after his death. Ever since Dusty died, it became a Indie promotion with a budget. Folks around that time weren't looking at NXT as ROH, they were looking at it to see wrestlers prosper to the big leagues. Plus, you had gimmicks that worked well with the WWE compared to the shyt they are doing now.


I said it before and again, NXT should had just been a developmental territory with a few events, not a fukking promotion that goes beyond Florida

Now because of Trips greed to get the smarks to love him:

• The Indie scene is trying to repair itself
• UK got fukked of its wrestling scene
• Japan treating WWE like a ho trying to get it right
• Vince back on his big and swole tip
• AEW got the juice of what NXT used to be

All of this because Trips was a mark for himself.

It's still to me that the company that did Ibushi's Apartment Complex Match and regularly books Dieno is somehow big homie to NOAH now.

It's NOAH's own damn fault, for the most part. A bunch of us have gone over it in the Puro thread over the years.

Still an infinitely better fate than being bought by WWE and gutted for parts to make NXT Japan

[TheGreatShowtime]

I personally lost interest in NXT once Andrade/Zelina left. But to be fair, I never watched the weekly shows & only tuned into the Takeover events.

 

[Rayzah]

It never fails. The ole TSC heel turn, I have never heard so many people talk bad about NXT before last week.

people in here saying Gargano being in the main event was when it started going down. Y’all love that dude all these years. Y’all said those Ciampa matches were MOTY but now he has always been the problem?

NXT fell off once Vince stopped thinking they were a third brand, then they lost to AEW and the the pandemic was the final nail.

Breh ever since NOAH got bought, its been fukking lit

Just two months ago they had this event to go along with the various promotions under the umbrella:

While it could had been better if Covid let go of the foot from the neck, along with more tag matches than a Teddy Long indie convention, feeling was restored
