WWE NXT gets updated logo, former star teases possible return

[Dale]

I do hope he sticks with the current recruiting formula though and doesn't revert back with that aswell, that would be pretty disappointing.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Well im not surprised anymore with how quickly he brought back fired people but I was surprised then bc I thought he would try and ease changes in bc he has other people to answer to still

yeah thats fair, expecting a gradual change is reasonable. tho tbh the color change doesnt mean the general vibe and booking will change that much since it seems HBK was headbooker and still is. guess time will tell on that one!

 

[Comrade Khan]

So far "dark, cavernous" is the only wrestling I've discovered he dislikes lol he does this shit weekly

how dark was NXT by the end that ppl hated it that much? I ask because i didnt personally find the 1h hour format tapings THAT dark. always saw the front crowd and that weird bald tall guy thats always there

 

[Comrade Khan]

fwiw my joke was more because he was also whining about workrate and GCW is sloppy wrestling for the most part

Oh no I think the booking will be exactly the same as it has been since Vince left, which wasn't a ton different anyway cause he'd already stopped caring about 2.0 like a month into it. I'm more shocked at the fired people being hired in so quick than anything

The whole show was like a Karrion Kross gimmick man

Maybe it's best I didn't watch it and was all AEW by then, that sounds pretty bad lol. I think I left at the perfect time where NXT is pretty much "perfect" when I left lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

as far as recruitment goes I hope they go hybrid. athletes are good but skipping on ppl like Yuta and Garcia was a huge mistake imo. Can't be just ignoring the indies completely

first 6-8 months they tried to compete was great, felt like both were putting on their best shows despite the pandemic and everthing but late 2020-2021 just went south

Did that coincide w kross being champ? What was the turning point for you?

 

[Deezy]

Bring back Thatcher....that too much to ask?

I've said so before but don't blame Kross personally, the timeline just fits. I actually liked him a lot mite after he returned and won the title again than that first run he had before injury. It was more so that they stopped caring as much about making it a must see show cause Dynamite was winning. They'd called up guys like Riddle and and Keith Lee too around the same time before they'd ever even gotten main event NXT run like most expected

He was coaching too so I'd guess they'd ne interested

One of the few releases I questioned....and book him against Regal's kid immediately.

I haven't watched 2.0 since the third episode. NXT used to be my favorite weekly show until the change. A friend of mine sent me a message this morning asking me if I saw the end of the show, and of course I hadn't. I didn't wanna watch a show where we have people in pajamas wrestling and taking naps in the corner.

To say I'm pumped would be an understatement.
