You're right.

Thought so, but all of these shows the NXT crew books tend to blend together because they're all good. It's like the opposite of the main roster where it all blends together because it's all really terrible :lol:

For anyone who might suggest that NXT is a model that could be used for Raw/SD, let them be reminded that house shows still look like this:

Read on Twitter

NXT is a great TV show that doesn't pull its weight financially. If it were expected to, there would be a lot more of the **** we hate on the main roster. Unfortunate, but true.

Meanwhile the main roster is making more money than they ever had, it's almost like Vince has been doing this his whole adult life and knows what he's doing

Yeah. We should be thankful there's someone funding this wonderful, pure wrestling product that doesn't need to make money, but has all the production values of a billion dollar company.

Is it time some of the stars are brought into the main roster?

Keith Lee vs Lars Sullivan was a fun match, they need to do a super heavyweights tournament like they did a cruiserweight and women's.

I suppose it has been a while. Who did you have in mind?

I could see Adam Cole winning a Championship, though I fear for Gargano's future if he goes on the main roster. I can't imagine either being thrilled about being on NXT for this long.

Apparently Aleister Black and Zelina Vega were married this weekend, I had no idea they were together.

I want a four-way 20 minute tag team match at the next Takeover. They have the roster for it.

They got plenty of teams for it

Undisputed Era, Street Profits, War Raiders, Heavy Machinery, Burch/Lorcan, Mighty, Forgotten Sons

Hansen of War Raiders is injured. Happened during War Games.

Will it keep him out through the next Takeover?

WWE announced tonight that Hanson suffered broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and torn ligaments during the match. The news was first reported by Mauro Ranallo on tonight's NXT episode.

I wished they'd take the tag titles off The Undisputed Era because Heavy Machinery are hilarious (especially Otis). They deserve a run with the titles.

Otis Dozovic is my favorite wrestler at the moment.

Decided to get caught up on NXT (haven't watched since Takeover) tonight since it's cold, raining, and everyone I like has already left town for Christmas. WTF is up with Punishment Martinez's music? I had to mute the damn TV because the bass was making my entire place shake.

Man, heel DIY could be a lot of fun. I wonder if they'll change the main event of Takeover: Phoenix to a triple threat now.

I also wonder if this is all a ruse by Gargano to get close to Ciampa and get him to drop his guard so he can finally get his revenge.

Oh that's a good way to go. Very nice build. Although full time heel DIY should be exciting.
