With NXT 2.0 now in effect for some time now.
What you think of the way its run or the way, it presents itself?

I haven’t seen any matches but visually, I’m not a fan of it. It looks like Raw or Smackdown with a smaller crowd. The production value is too high for a developmental brand. Too bright. Too many lights and screens. NXT (1.5?) had a gritty look. The arena was dark and colors were minimal while still having that WWE ‘look’ to it.

Reminds of like Saturday Morning Slam. It’s presented like a kids show

Some bright spots in New superstars who have debuted since 2.0 began and usually every show has at least one pretty good or better match. Sadly, WWE had a show that was different from their other shows in NXT and completely changed it to basically be RAW or SmackDown with lesser known talent, thus destroying their own "alternative option" show.
Really is kinda sad as NXT had grown into something great. Honestly, if it were me, I would have created a storyline that resulted in NXT and its previously excellent roster took over SmackDown. So you'd have WWE RAW and NXT SmackDown. Then I'd have put a new show in NXTs old time slot that was sort of a wrestling reality competition show where new superstars compete for a year, earning points for victories and whomever had the most points at the end of the year won a guarteened contract to RAW and a spot in the Royal Rumble match.
But, all in all, while NXT 2.0 isn't horrible, it does feel like a major downgrade in quality from the black and gold era.

2.0 is the best weekly wrestling show on television.

It was a fun three week throwback to the objectively bad but always nostalgic new gen era. Then the novelty wore off and it's just unwatchable now. Cora jade/Eleyna Black is a star so it's cool to see her get a lot of attention. But the in ring product is the typical watered down WWE style now, so it's turned into watching paint dry bell to bell. That said, old NXT had it's flaws, and didn't really have a place in the market anymore, so from their perspective this version is likely going to be much better for them in the long run. But there's too much wrestling out there for me to be bothered anymore.

A lot to like, a lot to dislike. This. I don't think its been a episode where I didn't enjoy couple of the matches but then you get some bad promos/angles that kinda brings some of my enjoyment down. Love some of the new people like Bron,Melo,Creeds,Gigi and Jade,not counting plenty of the older talent that's been there. As long as I'm getting couple good matches and wrestlers I enjoy watching ill continue being a every week viewer.

I like Toxic Attraction and Cora Jade. So that pretty much sums up my love for NXT 2.0
I do like Bron Breakker too. Though I wish he was Bron Steiner or even Rex Steiner, but Bron Breakker has grown on me as a name.

Im on the Jim Cornette boat. I sit through it just to watch Steiner. Also like seeing Walter as well and Gigi's well.....you know.

But as far as the 2.0 presentation goes I like the old black and gold better. I think AEW shows playing like an old Nitro works great. But 2.0 reverting back to the bright neon colors of the 80’s/90’s I’m just not feeling.

I enjoy some of it. I keep the mentality that the show doesn't feel like it's trying to be its own thing, and it's pretty much OVW/DSW/FCW with a fresh coat of paint. So I'm more forgiving on a bad match or bad promo cause a lot of the newer wrestlers in the ring are very new. Sure they coulda stayed in the PC for a year before making TV. But yeah I gave it a chance. There's stuff to like, future stars on the main roster, and there's crap there as well.

It's probably one of the best shows - just behind NXT UK, in terms of pure wrestling and matches, of any company out there atm, iyam. There's lots of good stuff on there, like Steiner, Ciampa, Chase, Legado, Knight, Grimes, Lumis, Hudson, Tony D, Wendy Choo, Gigi and Barrett on commentary... Conversely, there's also some absolute guff on there like Trick Williams, Mandy Rose as champ, Lash Legend, Kacy and Kayden, and of course, the absolute worst thing on the show - as far as I'm concerned... the overgrown child, that is Cora Jade. Surely there was another girl at the PC with some actual talent, they could've picked for this spot? If this girl is any kind of "star", then the standard for measuring star quality, must be the lowest it's been for years.

It's certainly a lot better than given credit for.. I also don't understand how something is simultaneously "made for children" while also being so blatantly sexual which are both terms people have used to describe it.
It's just another wrestling show at the end of the day and a pretty good one at that. There's been a lot of discussion I've seen about how the show is intertwined story wise and that's definitely something I like a lot about it. They have some amazing talent in the brand right now as well. There's no shortage of good wrestlers and great characters. Bron Breakker is obviously the standout but they still have some great guys and gals running things down there: Carmelo Hayes, Tommaso Ciampa (for a bit longer), Roderick Strong, Walter/Gunther, Cameron Grimes, LA Knight, Santos Escobar, The Creed Brothers, MSK, Imperium, Io Shirai, the list can go on... I also really like how they've incorporated main roster talent, especially Ziggler. It's making NXT feel really important and less of a separate universe. There's also some people that are obviously being developed and that's not a bad thing at all for a developmental show. It's very reminiscent of the days that put NXT on the map, which is a really good thing.
The immediate hatred for it was something I really found unnecessary. AEW became essentially what NXT at the very end of its super-indie run was and it really did feel like NXT needed to change rather than just be the place guys like Johnny Gargano and Adam Cole spun their wheels for much of their career rather than an actual showcase for talent set to be promoted in the business. The presentation is no longer the heavy metal Triple H show but that's not a bad thing either. 2.0 feels like a throwback, contemporary, and futuristic at the same time in its presentation and I really like it. I see only good things in its future as a show.
