I've enjoyed NXT very much in its first few weeks, I think it's a great way to keep the WWE roster fresh. But my question to you is, do you guys think it will turn into a long term success? Or do you think it will just end up getting abolished like ECW?

I like the concept but I don't think it will last. Maybe a season or two, if they are lucky. I just don't see it capturing a huge audience in years to come. I enjoyed the debut but it got boring for me after.
The one problem I see with NXT is the lack of structure on the show and what I mean is the lack of letting us know how the elimination of wrestlers will go down until two weeks into the Show. I know we have an elimination coming up but we still dont know how long this first season will last, and how many eliminations will happen until we get the winner. They should've let us know the whole structure to the show on the first episode. I still enjoy the show though and the Miz Danielson pairing is the best thing going right now and I see it lasting at least a couple of seasons.

Each of the pros vote on which rookie they think should be eliminated. March 30th is the first of the eliminations.
The voting and is done by the wrestlers and not by the fans. At least that's what it is in the first round of eliminations.
No way ecw was a joke of the original product and superstars is just like Velocity back in the day.

Superstars is useless, it's a wonder they even keep it. The classic was better when it was WWF Superstars of Wrestling.

NXT should be more vignettes of the guys to showcase their personalities. They're all so generic now and pretty much are based around the gimmick 'I'm the best rookie and I'm gonna be the next WWE superstar'.
I can see it coming down to 2 rookies who then compete ata pay per view for the WWE contract. Btw I enjoy NXT, I just sit there thinking what is the future for these guys and it looks good to me.

I have several questions that have been bothering me about NXT.
1. Isn't the whole purpose to show the rookies being mentored by the pros and how well they respond to that mentoring as far as learning and growing?
2. Why are rookies beating the pros only 3 weeks into the show? And not just in tag matches either.
3. If this is supposed to be a reality series why have two people scripted to win it already (if you wanna know go find it somewhere)? Does that mean the others are gonna be told to perform at 75-80%?

^ I think about that last one a lot and it bothers me. Yeah we obviously know who they want to win it but It isn't fair to the others who want to make a name for themselves to be used and not showcased solely for that purpose.

WWE will keep doing NXT until they get tired of it, just like ECW.
Especially since it is just getting the same ratings as ECW. Maybe this option of elimination could do something for the show, but I highly doubt it.
