Why the hell ain’t the crowd even remotely interested in those NXT guys? Didn’t even pop for Strowman, not even booing Corbin, wtf is this crowd Someone slipped Ambien in the beers and overpriced hotdogs

Corbin is the waiter who shows you where the all you can eat buffet is and Braun is the big guy standing in front of it piling mountains of food on two or three plates at once.

Pretty ridiculous that they called up all the others, screwed them up in only a couple weeks, and now they’re calling up all of these guys... I was thinking the same thing. They have no ideas for EC3, Heavy Machinery and Lacy Evans but then they call up Ricochet, Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa?

Well it’s not really promoting it, he said they’re all debuting but Cole literally said Gargano was the current NXT north american champ, and same with Ciampa as the NXT champ... the way it was presented was like this is a special attraction. i dunno I’m confused lol Triple H said they’re debuting and are all wrestling tonight, Cole talked about them like they’re just showing up tonight, two of them are champions, they already have 5 other call ups that are already ruined, what’s going on

While I'm glad to see the NXT 4, it just goes to show you that this company has no ing clue what they're doing anymore.

Instead they’re just announcing everyone now and it kills it

Some of them havent been as well-booked but guys like Revival seem to be on their way up, Roode isnt as over but they havent made him a jobber or anything the real failures of NXT have been the crapgimmick guys like Adam Rose, Jose, Tye, Vaudevillains (and English had a pretty good run with Rusev) We look at the small stuff for sure, but they really dont destroy everything from NXT

I hate how human Braun is booked to look. It's killed him for me. 80s booking would have made him a bigger star, and I'm sure that's why they are avoiding it. They love to keep guys at a certain position today.
50/50 booking isn't negligence, it's intended.
