You could argue the PC and house show circuit (which is technically NXT still) are their developmental but either way this is just a semantics argument, I'm cool with saying its both bc it ain't like it matters lmao

Like I said before I think it's both. Raw and SD have been around for so long that obviously those are the main shows but NXT has full exposure with real storylines and amazing matches. It's not like FCW where it was completely unprompted and superstars would be tested on the house show circuit before coming to the main roster. NXT is basically just bluring the line. Raw and SD will always be the main shows but NXT are still a legit brand.

I mean the wrestlers in NXT don't really need training though. It's more just to give them exposure before they come to Raw and SD and too make sure the rosters don't get too saturated. I mean I think when the wrestlers started putting on five star matches and war games matches they became past developmental lol.
WWE did the same thing in FCW. Sent full trained wrestlers down because they wants guys to know the WWE way or whatever.

PC does train wrestlers, too. Just not as many as Trip's buys off the indies.

S/o to the ring announcer for not pausing after saying "one fall" so the fucks in the crowd yelling it looked dumb

Both Chris and I agree NXT is a legit brand. So not sure who you're arguing with anymore.

Let's just get back to tonight's NXT.

I'm pretty sure Vince told them all not to pause anymore.

He ain't really arguing he's just stating his thoughts which more or less agree and disagree with both sides lol

I have some minor complaints about Cole/Riddle that won't let me rank it among the top matches of the year but it was still great especially for a TV match, the crowd tho like bruh they were so hot it made me feel like I was watching the greatest match of all time, no dumb chants just fuckin POPS

Candice/Shayna was pretty good. I just wish Shayna would lose the title, hopefully Dakota Kai is the one to take it from her.

Io/Mia and Gargano/Thorne were both really good too
