Best For Business.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Triple H running things now.

The black and gold era of NXT was the best WWE programming for years during it's heyday and IT wasn't even close.

Curious to see if the verbiage they use changes

Will they be allowed to say "wrestlers" more? "Belts"? "Title shots"?

Don't forget "hospital" instead of "medical facility"

My brother has this shirt.

Hopefully man. We all miss that Golden NXT era.

Vince firing 5000+ people the last few years even though WWE was seeing record revenue along with the money they were getting for those WWE Beheading shows makes much more sense now.

Had to replenish the coffers for his Deviant Fund.

I personally feel it was the best American wrestling product since Smackdowns peak in the early 2000s.

Easily one of my favorite eras of wrestling ever.

Saudi doing the same thing with golf and the LIV Tour.

I wonder if there will be any issues with that deal now that a woman is in charge at WWE

Yeah man, NXT was highly sports entertaining TV.

People like to talk about the Indy darlings and of course they had them in abundance but they developed some "home grown" talent as well.

Big E and Charlotte immediately come to mind and of course Rhea and Baby Girl (?).

Montez seems to be on the cusp of stardom as well.

That is some high praise right there. Honestly, I can't disagree with you at all. It felt like appointment TV during that run.

Unless Steph gets extreme pressure from the Board or external investors I think things will remain status quo in regards to Saudi Arabia.

Or they might spin it as "progress" by having a women's match main event one of those shows.

 

[Peep Game]

Wonder how the commentary will change without Vince yelling in people's ears during the broadcast. Scripts shouldn't be ripped up and re-written an hour beforehand either.

I also hope PPV’s (excuse me Premium Live Events) start feeling as such instead of glorified episodes of Raw/Smackdown. TakeOvers always felt special

You still own the Lucky Cannon NT shirt he wore during the original NXT format?

Am I the only one who feels like them using the raw/smackdown entrances in part makes them feel that way? Always like the unique entrances for each PPV.

Trips running things mean my boy Shins Naks is got a guaranteed title run coming..
