I didn't see any point after the second season.

I understood why they continued to have season after season, but they've really shot themselves in the foot with how many Rookies have come through NXT, have been put on the main roster but just have nothing going for them whatsoever.

The only success storys have been Wade Barrett and Daniel Bryan, but you could even throw David Otunga in there just because he has actually been used frequently ever since Season One ended. He may not be that flash in the ring, but he is improving. Also, the future is looking bright for Skip Sheffield, Brodus Clay and Alex Riley (even if he's currently in the doghouse) as the WWE seems keen to do something with all three. Percy Watson & Titus O'Neil make a good tag team but are stuck on NXT, and anybody else just doesn't have much going for them or has been released.

Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater are rarely used on Smackdown, Michael McGillicutty is only used on Superstars, Derrick Bateman & Johnny Curtis are NXT mainstays, Darren Young has been suspended already, Husky Harris, Eli Cottonwood, Byron Saxton & Conor O'Brian are stuck in FCW, and Michael Tarver, Kaval, Lucky Cannon & Jacob Novak have been released. Guys like Harris, Gabriel and McGillicutty have all shown something to me, but are being given zero.

More seasons of NXT are just going to add to this, even though they have some really talented guys coming through.

I write one sentence and you basically write three paragraphs that end meaning the same. Danielson and Low Ki were the most talented wrestlers involved at all. How can you top that? Seriously unlike Tough Enough those seasons worked.

I think NXT should stay but it should be used as WWE's third brand. Instead of having seasons just bring up more talent from FCW to see how they perform on a more viewed show than FCW and in front of larger crowd. It would give talent exposure and in my eyes could be quite an entertaining hour long show mostly based on Wrestling rather than promos and stuff. It'd be pretty cool for guys like Mason Ryan and Alex Riley to appear there also to touch up their skills and I think WWE should not waste the show and do something positive with it.

As for Tough Enough, I'm presuming it will air on the WWE network.

What's wrong with me writing three paragraphs in regards to the one line you posted? All I was doing was elaborating further off your point...

I never said Danielson and Low-Ki weren't talented OR that seasons one and two didn't work, all I was pointing out was what most of the superstars have ended up doing after their season of NXT has finished. Most end up with nothing or have been released, no matter how talented they are.

Season one was definitely the best, with season two easily the second best. I didn't even watch the Diva's season, but I know that any season after the second one has been nothing flash. I agree with you there, but do you see what my point was?

I don't mind this idea. NXT is basically where they trial the FCW talent and make a competition out of it, so dropping the competition aspect would make it like when ECW was around again but with differences. ECW served it's purpose as it's where guys like CM Punk, Sheamus and Jack Swagger started their WWE careers. There were obviously more well known superstars at various times as well like Christian, Matt Hardy, Finlay and Mark Henry, so this would somehow need to be incorporated to make people wanna watch a little more.

Just using your idea to bounce ideas of my own around, but I think it'd be a better alternative then adding a 6th season (whenever that may be).

Yeah sounds good Aniking, there's really no reason for Season 5 to end, just drop the competition aspect and have more guys from FCW join the roster. I wouldn't mind seeing them have some TV matches as well with guys like Punk and Daniel Bryan facing Moxley and Rollins.

I don't explain why you had to explain the rest we all understood the superstars that didn't work out. I'm talking about what worked. It's too bad Low Ki got hurt during his run. I think that would have changed everything though. I don't even think Daniel Bryan would be champion. He would have stood out even less.

I don't care as much about NXT because it really doesn't effect anything until these superstars actually appear on Raw or SmackDown! Nowadays none these guy appear.

Obviously trolling, no one likes NXT more than Smackdown.

I like Mark Henry on Smackdown, thats about it, and now his push has gone to shit I just dont watch it anymore.

nXt is an amazing show, not even joking.

Compared to Smackdown though, NXT shouldn't even be compared to Smackdown. I'm okay with NXT but when you try to say that NXT is better than Smackdown, I'm going to assume your a troll or have serious brain damage.

It's supposed to be a season, but I guess they're just dragging it out as long as they can until their deal with international broadcasters run out.

I was watching NXT a few hours ago as it aired in Australia earlier today, damn Maxine looked hot and especially in her attire. Nice ass.

Shame Kaitlyn lost to her.

Agreed, she looked really hot. I was also disappointed Kaitlyn lost to her but both Kaitlyn and AJ haaven't been doing very well so I wasn't suprised.

I'm actually surprised Maxine's wrestling because I'm positive she isn't even listed down as a Diva.

I believe the season will continue on maybe until when WWE Network begins, they should merge Superstars & NXT into another brand for the under-card/midcarders.

Same, I don't think she even is. I agree, they really should do that and maybe even have their own title or some shit to make it more entertaining to tune in and watch eh? I would probably make Alex Riley the champ if they did do that, he shouldn't even be having matches on NXT, he eserves to be on Raw more often then he is.
