I like how they've already ruined The Next Brock Lesnar.

It’s weird that this is the most character work the Wwe has done in years.

Can't get into NXT 2.0 as much, can't put my finger on it but it could be the amount of new talent. It almost feels like the established NXT guys have been pushed aside to make way for the newbies. Some of them are still in roles like Grimes, Indi and O'Reilly. But they're in random teams or skits with new guys I don't know cos I've missed a few shows lately and it seems like there's somebody new every time I do remember to record it. The audience have always been a bit irritating but now that they're highly visible in a bright arena they seem louder too. I'm trying to stay invested because of people I like, like Kushida, Ciampa, Escobar, Indi and Dolin. But it's not the same NXT I loved just a few weeks ago.

Was Raquel saying that Ember Moon is future Hall of Famer? A Spin the Wheel Make the Deal match between Raquel and Mandy? Well that escalated quickly. I like the Chase U segments. We need more Chase U, and less everything else.

I am kind of mixed on NXT 2.0. I like some of it, but I am also meh on parts of it as well. I actually like the new presentation, I think it is kind of cool and it reminds me of WCW Saturday Night in a way. I said this a few weeks ago, but I feel they are throwing far too many new characters at us at once. This is not a knock on the talent either, it is hard to build a connection to this many new people all at once.
It is hard to describe, but I am enjoying it, but there is just something off about the whole thing.
Also, that Lash Legend stuff is absolutely brutal, by far my least favorite part of the new NXT.

Yeah the Lash Legend stuff is terrible. She can't act, it has nothing to do with wrestling yet, we have no idea what she's like in the ring, and it isn't funny. I get that the WWE is "TOGETHER" now and feels a need to check off every single box so they can pat themselves on the back and say, "Look what WE are doing!", but you have the Hit Row gal, you don't need this second gal. Oddly, it's barely even worse than when Alexa did her little talk show. They should play to the strengths of their roster, not force them to copy anything that's been done in the past or that another company is doing. "Hey, can you play sassy? Great! We'll give you a faux talkshow and you can be sassy and talk smack. You'll become a heel from the get go then we can start pairing you off with faces. Sound good? Great! But you have to be sassy or this won't work." Oh, WWE.

My brother is horrified by what they have done to NXT! Such a shame, as it used to be much better to watch than RAW.

The Carmelo Swerve was great. Didn't see that coming, best booking decision since 2.0 started.

I mean the WWE is full of crap and aren't fooling anyone. They aren't truly "woke", they are simply covering their butts just in case. Look, there is nothing wrong with diversity. It's what makes the US great. I live in one of the most diverse cities on the planet. There is also nothing wrong with giving talent the top billing no matter who they are. There IS something wrong with you doing it just to do it though and not for the right reasons.

i thought tonite was the Halloween havoc thing for some reason The commercials they ran kinda made it seem that way, even though it said "next Tuesday". I had to do a double take when I first saw them.

When Carmelo and Trick mentioned Johnny Gargano's daughter, I thought they were talking about Candace Larae's unborn fetus.

these guys have a terrible name. But they are pretty decent for being a green tag team
