Yeh to me this just means more main roster like angles and obviously that's not something I want more of as the main roster isn't cohesive at all a lot of the time. But ya, I'm obviously not a fan of wwe main roster creative so more of that on nxt is not a good thing for ppl like me. But that's just the reality, nxt is no longer the cool punk rock cousin that has all the super talented indie kids, it is developmental raw. Just reality ig. I still hate it lol

The thing is, I'm not a fan of main roster creative either and 2.0 has never felt like it

They have intertwining stories that everyone is involved in, very rarely any random matches that don't have some beef even if it's not a main feud. Everyone has a character and vignettes and just generally feels like they're doing something. Raw and smackdown haven't had that in like...decades lol

Only real negative is in-ring is spotty a lot of weeks unless they stack it with the obvious better ones

All these dudes I like on 2.0 are still probs gonna be ruined on the main roster too :lol got no faith there, guess Grayson appearing on Raw in a good capacity could be a good sign tho

Yeah that sounds good to a degree , i guess I'm just probably more neg n would always just be waiting for the ceiling to fall n for them to just get impatient (I'm now worried they call up Bron way too fast for example). But that's on me, I also don't love a lot of the cartoony characters but ya that's more a me thing. The in ring is the biggest problem i could not get past after how it used to be

Well it mostly only sucks if you compare it to 2017-2020 NXT. Still not too much lower than 2021 was lol that In Your House TakeOver in like June was the worst ever most people agree

Yeah I was not watching that either. But it just sucks like they could have just kept doing what they were doing before n not try to bury aew n then flip everything around. But that's obviously a more meta discussion for another thread.

What’s wrong with Bruce? I like Bruce Prichard.

I’ve enjoyed 2.0 a lot so far I’ll give Bruce credit for that.

I love Bruce dude gets a bad wrap but he’s been at this a long time and even was successful outside of WWE.

People that don’t actually watch it are the only ones that thinks it sucks

Counter point, most people don't watch because they think it sucks. People generally think something isn't good for a reason. You can like it while accepting most people don't imo

Also there's a myriad of people who reviews wrestling for a living who dislike it, and some who do like it. Probably should avoid saying broad strokes stuff like that instead of engaging in a nuanced conversation like Chris and myself had. It's more constructive

I'd say Impact discussions are pretty positive too. Unless my dislike of Fallah Bahh and Hernandez counts as being too negative
