I am a huge NXT fan. Its the only reason why I got the WWE network. I get what your saying. with ever thing there is always room for improvment. But I voted yes, NXT is more then good. It is Amazing. I am really happy with the product the give us. and i know this is the wrong section to mention this but i am super excited about Mattel starting to make NXT action figures. I already ordered Sami Zayn. Saw pics Neville and Breeze, they look awesome. Sorry know its wrong section, but im just very excited about it. So Long story short (to late!) YES! YES! YES! NXT IS GOOD!

I see your Bull & raise you a Mojo Rawley. If these two ever have a match, I might actually gouge out my own eyes. I'm pretty sure it happened & Bull squashed him in like 2 minutes. It was great!

Yes. NXT is the best wrestling show to me right now. I look forward to it every week whereas Raw, only sometimes will I actually be excited and make sure to tune in(but I still watch it every week).

There will be the occasional poor matches in NXT, but they still don't end up being as bad as what we are used to from the main roster. NXT is the best thing going in the WWE right now. The price of the network is a steal for what you get with NXT week in and week out..

If you have to compare it to other shows, that's your prerogative...
For what it is; a one hour wrestling program that has a true 'less is more' feel to it in some capacity, there's no complication and it's fun - something seemingly lost in televised wrestling...
The crowd is great, Graves and Phillips are good on commentary, the girls are talented and are mentioned constantly for their work (which is great to see), and the talent (for the most part) make you invest in them as performers...
I know it's not perfect, but I judge it on its own merits, and it's proof positive that Triple H knows what he's doing...

I liked it, but it's not as good as people say. Pretty much no one outside of Devitt or MAYBE Owens (If Vince doesn't mind him being fat) have a chance at anything higher than mid card.
Zayn=Bryan and unless he's mega over he will be mid card for life. Neville=British, small, high flyer, need I say more? Breeze=Fandango Itami=Japanese, comedy character at best Corbin=Greener than Reigns, has shown nothing really The rest of the roster all has a great future ahead of them as jobbers, especially the divas.
The best part of NXT is Corey Graves on commentary, since he actually knows how to do it.

NXT has a lot of problems. Not so great diva's division, some bad gimmicks, bias pushes, but at the end of the day, they're putting on great matches for the most part, and that's what it's all about. What?

You lost me when you complained that the good indie guys were getting time over horrible Baby Dempsey.

It's overrated, but it's a very fun show and the episodes generally don't drag. Best wrestling TV for hardcore fans ever.
For a one-hour show, you don't need many tag teams. And homegrown vs independent doesn't really matter as an issue. Some of those indie/foreign guys (Balor and Itami for example) are on big money deals, so you need to focus on them and get them main-roster ready asap so you can start to see some return on that investment. NXT doesn't make much, if any, money. It's a training ground. You need your expensive guys out of the developmental system faster than some guy making $500 a week.

NXT is the best wrestling show today and the 2nd best "promotion" with only New Japan ahead of it

Yes it is. Sure the tag division could use work but I think they are building it up atm so I will give them a couple months before I totally go after them. The main event scene (not just for the NXT Title) and NXT Women's Title divisions are really great though and much* (*for the women) better than their counterparts on the main roster imo. As for pushing homegrown people over former top stars on the independent scene I think that is stupid. It should be about who is the better wrestler/full package imo. Of the two non indy wrestlers you listed only Breeze deserves to be in the main event picture and he pretty much is if you read spoilers. Bull on the other hand is a horrid wrestler so he can off..

I know Neville only gets around 30-40k.

Firstly, I like Bull Dempsey. ... Am I still allowed to post here? Oh great cool. Anyway, NXT is worth every single bit of praise it gets. It consistently puts on a good show and the fans at Full Sail are always excited and full of energy which helps bring the show to life. The TakeOver specials while have had at least one match be absolute s#!t due to being given ridiculous short times IMO and some wrestlers being greener than John's Cena neon merchandise last year, are fantastic watches and always enjoyable. So yes, NXT is the mother ing bomb and deserves all the goodness of stuff and thangs.

I figure that also has a lot to do with completely relocating to a different country, too. Plus, to work NXT, they'd have to come close to deals from NJPW and NOAH. It's probably safe to assume Itami and Balor are making the most down there.
