Oh weird. Think it was a taker documentary Omos is in the room when he's talking character development.
Omos trained in the Performance Center briefly but he was never formally on the NXT roster

Triple H's manlet experiment didn't work....it's a proven fact.

Also Heyman and Gabe had the book and people still said the product sucked....it doesn't matter who's in charge.

Everyone's mind is made up.

In regards to 2.0…

NXT was designed to help create new stars. The one thing the WWE has struggled with the last 5-10 years. Somewhere along the line, WWE lost sight of that and turned it into his own indie. Which was awesome but their homegrown talent got pushed to the background.

Stick with the 2.0 formula. Get guys like Bron, Melo, Devlin, etc ready for when the AJs, Romans, Edges and Nakamuras aren’t around.

Like you say, Black & Gold was awesome but just let it be. Yeah there's plenty of 'What if's' surrounding what could have been if he was the main guy during this phase but just keep the current philosophy and it will pay off, I have no doubts on that. There's plenty of guys and girls on the main roster they can cycle through down there to work with specific projects like they have been doing.

Not everyone’s. If I like it I like it. If I don’t I don’t. We just have to see.

They are some folks who will say it sucks no matter what, just like they are folks who will say it’s amazing no matter what. But not everyone will do that.

A change in presentation to not be ITS LIKE THAT is all I really want lmao catering to young folks clearly hasn't worked since most of NXT's viewership is the decrepit anyway. Don't even have to go back to black and gold and can still be all colorful, let's just ease away from the outright paint splatter lmao

Wasn’t she on Raw for most of that run working with Dana Brooke?

I enjoyed Raw in 2019 when Heyman had the book. Him being removed is a large part of why I stopped watching in 2020.
