I feel the same to be honest. Especially now they're doing Ciampa v Gargano AGAIN They’re listening to the fans who chant “fight forever.”

NXT is my least favorite show to watch every week. I'm not saying it's bad. It has logical booking, none of the matches are horrible or boring, but for me, I can't stand watching it. It is exhausting to watch NXT every week. On your weekly show you get 4-5 matches, all of which go 15-20 minutes with finisher kickouts and false-finishes galore. Takeovers are exhausting to watch! I am numb by the end of it. Kicking out of a finish means nothing to me by the end. I was so zoned out during Ciampa/Cole. Nothing surprised me, entertained me, shocked me, caught me of guard, made me interested. It was the same paint by number "good indie match" that all the other matches had. Which isn't to say those are bad matches by any means, it just becomes rough to watch when EVERY match is that way, Takeover and weekly TV wise! Dakota/Tegan was my favorite on Takeover just because it was different than the others! It's why I prefer Dynamite every week. Dynamite has some long matches, kickouts galore, the same kinda stuff but they also gave us the lashing segment, they give us an Inner Circle promo. They give us something so we can breathe! So a story can get developed outside of matches alone. I can't stand Dijakovic/Lee's matches. They all scream "TELL US WE HAD A GOOD MATCH!" Like they do a paint by numbers, beat for beat, same type of match. Big spot, big spot, big spot. This is the 3rd Dijakovic match where one person hits a big move from the top rope, then the person who got hit with it hits their finish right after and wins. Dijakovic has done that exact finish with Lee twice now and Killian Dane, I believe. Might have been Swerve. It's just boring to me. I don't like watching the same match every week, let alone every match on a single card! It's tiring! I like a building card more than anything. Kick off the show with a ten minute match and build from there where your more important matches get the time and the finish kickouts. NXT had a kickoff match between Swerve/Garza that had a finisher kickout! On kick-off! That's ridiculous to me! I do understand why people like it though. It is fast paced, in your face, never stopping. But for, once you watch it every week, you don't need to see it anymore. I can not watch the next month of NXT and still feel like I didn't miss anything new. I really like Maffew had to say on Twitter: yeah, it’s that popular ‘video game style’ wrestling. I feel the same way when watching young bucks matches. I want to like them, they’re immensely talented and have strong personalities, but man their matches can be borderline ridiculous.

The Young Bucks can be like that at times for me, but I find they do a good job of also having other styles of matches. The Lucha Bros work that same pace every match and for me that is draining and numbing, honestly.

I guess I just give Lucha Bros a pass because a) I am a Pentagon Jr mark from his time in LU and b) Fenix is literally doing crap I’ve never seen anyone else ever do on the regular.

NXT has been the best wrestling show for damn near 4-5 years now. Even when they lose names they just reload.
