It has nothing to do with romance that is the pointI just said “early afternoon romance angle.” Everything described here is exactly what they do on those shows. I never said anything about doves and kisses and Notebook shyt.

I mean wrestling is a Soap Opera for men so why wouldn't it be like those shows?

Do you not know how those early afternoon romance drama shows work? They need material to stretch 70+ shows a year and to last decades. It’s not just “you’re the only one for me!” shyt.
My grandma used to watch them when I was a kid, so I’ve seen them.

Got me I was just explaining the angle more than what it resembled.So why the outrage over what I said?
I agree and disagree..
I think inconsequential is being misinterpreted in a way.
I do think NXT feels more like an extension of the main 2 shows versus existing on an island by itself like it felt when Vince still had the book. It definitely feels more like a 3rd brand now
But I say inconsequential because the results over there don’t feel like they have an actual consequence or impact on talent long term. It’s universally understood that NXT is developmental despite its third brand status, and the minute a talent makes their way over to the main roster it’s a soft reset. In the past, it was a hard reset. People being stripped down and forced to start over. That doesn’t necessarily exist anymore, but a reset still happens nonetheless.
Melo was a main eventer in NXT. Crossed over to Smackdown with the same character and look, but his position is way further down the card than it was in NXT. If you’re a main eventer on Smackdown and move over to RAW, you’re still in the same position and vice versa. That doesn’t really exist with NXT. You can be a main eventer over there and walk straight into the lower mid card on main. I’m sure as time goes on, we’ll see people who weren’t really big names down in NXT turn into main eventers on the main roster as well. That’s the dynamic. That’s what I mean when I say NXT still feels inconsequential to WWE’s overall canon lol
It’s not really a diss. I feel like that’s one of the reasons a lot of WWE’s viewership dismisses that show and ignore it completely. As long as that developmental aspect is there in some capacity, it’s always gonna be seen in a different light that the other 2 shows

We talking about the same story
Liv want to take everything from Rhea
Her title
Her Group
Her “Man”
You’re focusing on a small part of the story that is still nothing like what you’re describing

I can agree with that in a sense and I will use a sports analogy even tho some people hate it, but I think it applies.
It's like going from being the star in college to being the rookie in the pros. HBK has called NXT like being the college of the WWE.
That's just the nature of the beast.

No one clearly knows how these romdrama shows actually work. They just saw “romance” in my post and automatically thought I was talking about Valentine’s Day kisses and “she’s the only one for me!” shyt.

You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re the same idiot who said I was defending and saying an angle was good because I used logic to explain why things were happening the way they were.
Dudes really went on a rampage over their own assumptions of what I said.

Go watch one of those afternoon romdrama shows and tell me I’m wrong. They use betrayal, manipulation, and cons to push storylines.And there’s the spin

Like I said, stooges gotta defend everything.
