WWE NXT Live NXT 2.0 November 16th 2021 Discussion Thread: Dexter Lumis takes on Tony D'Angelo.

[Jimmy King]

It sounded like the crowd was chanting boring but I think it was WarGames.

RIP Grimes’ glorious beard. That was a fun segment though. I can’t wait for Ciampa to smash Waller’s face in next week.

For comparison.

This week: 574,000 / .11

Last week: 603,000 / .15

Last year : 638,000 / .14

Two years ago this week: 916,000 / .30

Damn. Even making a bunch of sluts (respectfully) the center of your women's division ain't cutting the mustard smh.

I know, it's almost like Pritchard and Vince don't know what young people like or something

I guess Cody really did kill the Attitude Era when he beat Dustin at Double or Nothing

The thing is, NXT 1.0 when it ran unopposed was in the 800,000s. They could have literally changed not one thing about NXT 1.0 and sleptwalked to 700,000s/.2ish

I think the change to NXT 2.0 was too severe and too sudden, a classic case of overcorrection. This should have been done slowly if at all, a gradual metamorphosis instead of a breakneck transformation. Where we are now with NXT is maybe where we should have been in about Christmas 2022.

However, WWE doesn't really know how to do subtle. WWE is as subtle as a blowtorch to the balls. Something like this needed to be done patiently and deftly, not immediately and clumsily.
