TPWW's #3 Peep

Any time I watch NXT, the fans are super into the product. Hell, even the women's matches gets huge pops.
Meanwhile in WWE, we're regularly greeted with "boring" chants, or constant "what" chants to faces, or "please retire" chants to guys like Big Show who has done the same thing every year for the last ten years. Regardless of who's overseeing what shows, NXT seems to be doing something right because their product is hot! It's a formula WWE should follow more on Raw, and then their flagship show might actually be half as entertaining as it use to be. But hey, what do I know? I only come on to TPWW every Tuesday for the last year to see reports of Raw hitting the "lowest rating ever". WWE sucks these days. Vince is out of touch. He has no idea what his audience wants. |

If it was Cena or any other hand picked star by the WWE, no doubt they would have been more active or acknowledge the pop culture aspect a lot sooner. Was during the time of them being rumored thinking it was just the chant that was over or just a fad and not Bryan as the real reason. Tried to "give" the chant to Big Show or downplay it thinking it would just get weaker when the opposite happened instead. |

Or telling Bryan to chant no instead and not trying to ride the wave and turning him face sooner.

Furthermore, I am tired of people saying that they want WWE to do what they do with NXT, but on the main show.
This simply just is not possible. There's a lot they can do to improve, but it is impossible to try to mimic the NXT model with the main roster. |

100%
Nxt is an hour a week with 4 (?) Ppvs a year vs. 3 hours of live tv, 2 hours of taped tv (not to mention Superstars and Main Event) and at least a dozen ppvs a year. That's just for starters. |

Oh and it's also just supposed to be a "minor league" type proving ground, not the finished product.

For example, giving more of the roster stuff to do. I think we can both agree that RAW can't manage time for shit. They have 3 hours of programming yet they've actually managed to have fewer interesting storylines than they had when they were only filling up two hours. The writing would also benefit from a major change to being more like NXT. Stop with the Rusev/Lana/Dolph shit and start giving us storylines that actually matter and aren't the kind of thing that'd make reality tv cringe. Instead of the abortion that has been the Divas Revolution how about they just start writing for the women the same way they do for the men? NXT got this right with Sasha vs Baylee yet the main roster can't seem to fathom that. Why can't two women be chasing the belt just to prove they're the best in the business just like the guys? And on the topic of Sasha vs Baylee, we know that most of the people on the main roster can go in the ring. Why can't the main roster allow them to showcase their abilities the way NXT does? Even PPV matches aren't allowed to have the same quality as some regular NXT matches. There's some sort of disconnect here, and it's not the talent of the superstars involved (most of the time). somewhere along the line talent is being hampered for some odd reason. I'm not saying that everything from NXT will work on the main roster, but the basics would and have worked in the past. NXT's booking, writing, timing, etc really aren't much different from what WWE has done in the past with the main roster. |

I remember them going with it and then Fandango proving to be garbage and unable to sustain the momentum. Does he still work there?

Some people dont seem to get that NXT airs on the WWE Network. By the nature of where it airs, 100% of your audience are big time fans of the product. Just like the type of person who would come to TPWW to post about sports entertainment would be a bigger than average fan. Its sometimes tough to write/produce TV that appeals beyond what YOU would like to see. Its a tough concept to grab for some people. But you clearly get it. Good to see some smart people on here. |

People remember the Attitude Era, and seem to forget how crap the in-ring product was on TV. When you see the TV today, they focus on fewer characters over a longer period of time. It allows guys to work longer matches, and tell stories in the ring. Not everyone is great at it, but you have to learn. You're so impatient. Do you not think Sacha will eventually have a 15 minute match with Charlotte, Becky, Paige or Bayley? Of course she will. They brought up a bunch of girls at the same time, it takes time to get them over. There's no point of trying to have the epic title match before people are ready for it to matter. What they are doing is great. Nikki was the long running champion, she clearly cared about being champion, and it was very clear that Charlotte cared a lot about finally winning it. Paige did the halfway heel turn because she is jealous that Charlotte won the title. Nikki wants the title back. Literally everything is about the title. If anything, you could make the argument that they need to have a couple programs in the Divas division that are away from the title. This is another example of complaining for the sake of complaining. The Divas are getting an opportunity to work longer matches on TV, learning to carry themselves better, and over time the division will be strong. You gotta remember that Banks and Bayley headlined or co-headlined shows. The WWE Divas division is not at that place yet. But they hopefully will be over time. You can just go from 0 to 100 in 1 night. Its gotta be a gradual process. If you know what to look for, you can see they are setting the foundation for progression. |

He is a classic example of guys who get on TV for a small thing, but then dont elevate their game. But sure, if you feel better blaming the bogeymen like the writing team or Vince, go for it. |

How would you have him "elevate him game", while sticking to the confines of what the booking team allow him to do?

Fandango actually sustained a concussion and that was the end of that.
I actually very much like the talent they do have. You claiming otherwise is reaching for an argument that doesn't exist. The fact that they've done nothing to progress said talent is the issue I take. But keep spinning your wheels pal. |

OK Cynick is delirious, he said the Divas revolution is great. Really, Charlotte copies her father so much and is horrible at it. Becky just stands around and says so.thing weird all the time. Sascha is the boss but maybe not even the leader of BAD? Paige turns heel then switches her mindset and wants to be back in PCB and is jealous of Natti. Its all shit and an extra match on Raw every week is pretty much all the Divas revolution is. Lana and Summer Rea was the best thing going about the divas until Lana got hurt.

Fandango was already finished with his feud with Jericho and was fighting for the IC title. Which was then won by Curtis Axel. How would Jericho been involved at that point? Just giving out advice?
