If you haven't checked out NXT from last night you are doing yourself a HUGE disservice. That show was full of everything that is missing from today's main roster. As said from top to bottom the whole show was outstanding.
For those that want to check out Finn's epic entrance:

/r/squaredcircle sent Triple H a fruit basket with a 'Thank You' note for R Evolution. That is literally the greatest thing ever.

Corey Graves has been doing commentary for 10 minutes and he's already a million times better than Alex Riley lmfao. So happy Graves landed in that spot. I actually think they should look at him as a manger as well. He's got tons of value as a talker and character. Can't say enough good things about HHH and WWE for keeping him going.
Everything about Owen's debut was perfect, even the fact CJ busted him open. It was absolutely everything it needed to be and the crowd was there for him.
The tag match was meh. Kalisto dazzles at times, but I think Hunico sucks. The Vaudevillians have a great gimmick and entrance, but I don't really care for them in the ring.
Corbin reminds me of 911. They should have had him win faster. Something there with the crowd counting.
Balor was everything and more. That's exactly what we should expect from him. Also, loses mind when KENTA goes for GTS, zomg.
Main event was great, the moment was great, the run-in at the end was amazing. I'm in love with the idea of getting that right away. Seems like Zayn will also drop the title pretty quickly since he's ready for the main roster too.
So yeah, it was a really great show. It wasn't anything close to how I felt after Survivor Series, but then, that was all from one match. Likewise not better than how I felt for Bryan after Mania. In terms of straight up, SummerSlam was a fantastic PPV, and that was just a few months ago. You guys get really excited about NXT, and it's good, but it's not Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose good, it's not Shield vs Evolution good, it's not Daniel Bryan winning at WM30 good in front of 70,000 people. If main WWE was a one hour show, with two hour PPVs, everything would be much more concise with the focus on a handful of guys. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending, WWE has like 7 hours of content to fill each week, and lots of it is crap. It's the same reason WWECW was "better" than Raw in 2009. Everybody had something to do because there were so few guys and all the attention was on them. The format is better, not necessarily the show, and it hides a lot of weakness, so the ECW format.
I'm not knocking NXT, I think it's great, but 500 people going nuts and doing the ole for Zayn is nothing compared to 20,000 people blowing the roof off the IZOD Center for Dolph Ziggler when he pins Del Rio.

It was a great show, but I didn't feel it being the best show WWE has produced in years. WWE has put on some pretty great PPV's this year so saying this is the best in years is just illogical.

I'm glad more people are paying attention to NXT. It is by far better than the main roster product of Raw and Smackdown, WWE's PPV's, and can run circles around Main Event. I wanted Itami to do the TKO SO FREAKING BAD. I'm glad he teased the move. I'm also glad that HHH/whoever is letting everyone do THEIR thing, THEIR moves, THEIR ideas (from what I've heard). The show is just great. I hope they keep Finn and Itami as a team for a while. They have great chemistry. The double foot stomps get me every time. I don't want ANYONE to leave NXT for the main roster. HELL NO. It was a great show, but I didn't feel it being the best show WWE has produced in years. WWE has put on some pretty great PPV's this year so saying this is the best in years is just illogical. Ehhhhhh, Idk man. I understand it's your opinion, but I've watched every PPV this year and I've never been excited for every match until last night. It was a perfect PPV. Every match had a purpose.

I stand by my original post. I'm someone who not only has watched every PPV this year, but has also enjoyed them. I don't think that any of them, top to bottom, were better. Even if you only take the best two hours of each. Illogical is incorrect. It's a perfect valid opinion to have.

Triple H's tweet about the fruit basket was great, Triple H really does know how to run the business, idgaf what anyone says
R Evolution is a game changer, it's had a HUGE impact. It's getting praise from soooooo many people, and a lot of people are boycotting all other WWE programming for NXT

I saw the show today, by far my favorite NXT special of the year. Finn Balor, someone I did not watch a lot of his NJPW days, after last night, he shows me that he is a future star in the WWE. I loved the show from the opener to the main event. I still have Finn Balor's theme song in my head lol.

Wow is all I have to say! This was my first time watching an entire NXT show because of all the hype, and boy was it worth the hype! I just became a fan of NXT. I'll probably watch it regularly now.

i watch that special and i cant possibly figure out how these shows are from the same company legitimate question. who books and makes the decisions for NXT and how it's presented? because it's ing fantastic in every way. the matches are good, the gimmicks are awesome, the entrances are awesome. honestly the only thing that i really don't like is that ring announcer sucks, and they still do the HORRIBLE camerawork with a million quick zooms and shaky-cam all over the place. but man that was some excellent wrestling AND entertainment...because WRESTLING = ENTERTAINMENT if it wasnt for Rollins & Ambrose with some Ziggler & Cesaro sprinkled in I wouldn't even be watching RAW at this point. but yet NXT is ing incredible. its sad that most of those guys will either never make it to RAW/PPVs or when they do, they will just be there...like everyone else.

From what I understand, NXT is booked by Hunter and two or three other people. Unlike main roster television, it's not booked by a giant, cluttered and uneducated staff of writers who receive most of their direction from guys like Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn.

Last Nights NXT should win show of the year. I still can't get over Kevin Owens debut match. I like the Tag match, but i feel the Vaudevillians should have won the belts. Finn Balor, that guys entrance was the best out of every entrance every made. Sami Zayn is one of my favorite NXT guys, and he should have been champion a long time ago, and now he finally has the belt. I knew that Owens was going to attack Zayn, I had a gut feeling. I thought it would have been better if he did it while the rest of the roster was in the ring, and he took all of them out also. Because in his promo he would fight anyone and everyone. I think they are puting Owens on the fast track to an NXT Title match. Maybe the Main Event at the next NXT live special will be Zayn vs. Owens for the Title. If that does happen, i think Zayn drops the title to Owens so it frees Zayn so he can head up to the main roster.
So out of all the Live NXT Specials my list for the best are: #1. REvolution #2. Arrival #3. Fatal 4 way #4. Take over

A friend who works for WWE said it's basically Hunter and one writer collaborating, instead of a dozen or two basically just writing down what Vince and Dunn want. Hunter needs to be booking Raw.

I'm sure that when some of Hunter's "boys" from NXT get the call up, such as Sami, Kevin and Finn, he'll make sure that he has some role in booking for them. The last thing he needs is for someone who he has invested so much time and effort into to become a victim of Vince, Dunn and the staff's sh*tty booking.
