I never did mind the color scheme of 2.0 and I feel like some fans didn’t give it the show itself a fair shot imo, but to each their own it wasn’t for everyone I suppose.

It’s cool that black and gold is coming back though.

I certainly can admit I did not.

iirc she's really good in the ring too right? her showcasing comedy, especially with Vince gone, has to be a good thing. displays range. range is good. And i doubt that Hunter would be like Vince and saddle her with a jobber gimmick after a call up too

Nah she was pretty green before, was a signee from China I think when they were hyping up all the countries they were signing people from. The gimmick honestly felt like they were trying to capitalize on some orange Cassidy stuff lol her "sleepiness" jkst translated to her being nonchalant during maches and then turning it up to loud pops bc she did stuff like OC, just not as good before anyone jumps at me for the comparison :lol

And she's been used better since trips took over especially, her and Stratton had a fairly well liked main event a few weeks ago (I liked it a lot at least but I think it was praised by most)

I'm not sure that I really gave it a fair shot, but I know I didn't completely write it off. However, by the third week, I realized that the show just wasn't for me. Outside of some quick check-ins along the way, I haven't watched an episode since. I've probably seen a total of 30-40 minutes of 2.0 since the third week.

I'd say that first month or two outside of the guys that stayed to help with the transition was ROUGH AS FUCK but around the week or so before the WarGames show, I thought they'd brought everything together really nice and have been on the right track since.

Moved some people off TV and on Level Up gave others some more shine bc they'd took to everything early, was a lot of trial and error that came off bad on national TV at first tho

NXT White and Gold is hopefully going to be the best of both worlds. While everyone has nostalgia for NXT Black and Gold I do feel that late stage there was too much of a clog of talent given that no one wanted to be called up. The best parts of classic NXT was when PC graduates were getting to intermingle with the indy stars. Up to about 2018.

I do think she had one yeah lol I hated that act so fucking much tho :lol
I actually liked it, thought the vignettes they did were super well done where they were being broken down and such. Was always gonna be one of those deals though where it was hard to translate it into the actual ring, at least for the spooky bitch character.

ain't that a trip? Shit used to be a kiss of death if you liked the performer, or an incoming annoying overpush if you hated them. for me at least lol

Xia wrestling was mostly fine and then doing the vignettes separately for character work I didn't have much issue with. But Wendy's character should not have been a wrestler at all lol and also Boa was made to look like such a bitch :lol
