They really get it down at NXT. It's a thing of beauty.

My favorite may be Finn's where he is wearing the face paint but I also like Corbin's and Owens shirts.

Being called up to the Main Roster is almost like a demotion. Vince should at least let Triple H run or have major input on SmackDown.

It would be great if Trips ran Smackdown the way he does NXT. He's so effective at putting guys in their best position to get over and succeed. Would be cool to see it with the main roster too.

Preach!

I'm afraid Vince won't let SD get more popular than Raw in this day and age though like it did when Heyman ran it.

I'm really enjoying NXT tonight way more than Smackdown...

It's amazing how hot the crowds are at full sail and how any jobber is super over lol

Enzo and Cass looked great in the ring tonight.

And Carmella has never looked better.

I haven't had a chance to watch last night's episode yet. I'll be doing that on my lunch break today. Interested to see the crowd reaction to Rhyno.

Ok so here's the difference between RAW and NXT for me:

If I miss an episode of RAW on Monday night, I'll read Stroud's Best/Worst of RAW article and it basically catches me up and 9 times out of 10 I don't feel the need to go back and watch RAW afterwards. When I miss an episode of NXT, I'll do the same thing and it never fails to make me want to watch NXT even more.

curt hawkins was saying this on one of his shoots, and that WWE is missing out big time in developing talent on the main roster cause they dont have something like what SD was in past years....even after Heyman left SD was great in making some incredible feuds and pushing guys well, the roster now is so totally overcrowded its impossible to do anything and especially hard to bring in talent and expect them to hit homeruns on the first pitch in their first at bat ever....with the success NXT, I wish they would just go back to a brand extension


RAW: Cena, Bryan, Rollins, Reigns as the core four
SD: Orton, Ambrose, Ziggler, Wyatt as the core four

Smackdown has become almost unwatchable hardly anything ever interesting happens on it. It's barely
more entertaining than Main Event and Superstars.

I was watching the top moments in Smackdown history on the Network recently and how nothing really
cool has happened much in its history and if it did it was a long time ago.

For years the half ass booking was so predictable where a bunch of wrestlers come out and cut promos
on each other and Teddy Long would come out and either set up the main event or make it a tag team
match on the spot. I remember HHH making fun of it once.

Another thing that sucks is because its pretaped and always ends at 10pm you know when the main event is about to end.

I would let Sasha put me in the Bankrupt any time or place. :lol:

Good episode. The only thing that was missing was Prince Pretty. For some reason I can see him and Ziggler as a future tag team.

So, at some point are they going to have an NXT invasion of the WWE?

i don't think they're gonna re-run that. especially considering what NXT is compared to what it was when they did that before? Before it was a bunch of guys who hadn't "made it" and were proving themselves as viable WWE talents. They didn't necessary have a rivalries against one another like the top guys in NXT currently have. The storyline for the show was who would make it so it made sense that they could bond together and attack main roster guys because they had no real animosity to one another.

NXT in its current state is its own living breathing animal. with storylines and rivalries etc. So pulling Zayn, Owens, Neville, Balor together to attack main roster guys doesn't make much sense when they're tied into each other storyline wise unless they're folding to brand.

Now if you wanna take a NXT faction that already exist and invade then we may have something.

Lookin at you Shoot Nation.
