You still couldn't pay me enough to watch it on a regular basis today, though. Just because something used to be great and something you loved, that's no guarantee that it will be worth caring about forever. I mean, just look at Doctor Who for the last decade. Aaantlion posted... And once upon a time, NXT's weekly programming was great. Yeah, but that barely counts. Being pre-taped, edited, and dropped directly on the network for a niche audience gives it a radically different feel than the main shows. Doubly so because it's also stocked with a ton of indie darling wrestlers who are allowed to go out and have phenomenal matches (as opposed to the main card, where they're limited to the point of killing their appeal entirely). And triply so (no pun intended) when you realize that the entirety of NXT is basically crafted according to HHH's vision of what wrestling product should be, as opposed to Vince and Kevin Dunn's idea of what wrestling should be. If anything, one of the huge worries about NXT is that, with them shifting it to Fox TV in an attempt to fuck with AEW, Vince and Kevin Dunn will become more involved in running the show, and in turn ruin it just as thoroughly as they've ruined the main shows. Vince really doesn't understand or really give a shit about NXT - if he takes a more hands-on approach, he's probably going to start running it more like Sunday Night Heat meets Tough Enough more than anything it currently is. Aaantlion posted... They kinda introduced him on Raw already >_> Yeah, but that was just appearance for the sake of storyline. The main question most people had was how they'd present him in an actual in-ring situation, complete with entrance and moveset. There was a fear that they might craft this incredible character, and then Bray would just come out and wrestle exactly the same way he used to and lose exactly the same way he used to, and then everyone would immediately stop caring no matter how much they loved the Firefly Funhouse stuff (see also, how quickly WWE managed to completely kill all interest in Matt Hardy). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:925998806] in Valley of ...
