I feel that might've been the main selling point for him to grab the chance: That he gets to try new things almost on the weekly.

When done right they were so intense and could draw a lot of emotion from the crowd whether for the babyface who's overcome run ins and cheating or the heel who's been getting his ass whooped the whole match just to win by the skin of his teeth.

      Nah , actually bro got a point. The stories and TV time for these women in NXT are definitely top notch. If I'm a woman wrestler looking for my shine on one of the biggest platforms I would heavily consider NXT for starters and NXT is WWE so at anytime I can tangle with the top women stars from the main roster to prove I belong if I'm just getting my feet wet in the WWE. Any other company I would either get lost in the shuffle to already made stars or have to damn near kill myself to be recognized

    Well on that main event for the TNT championship, it was a excellent match. But like i said after, i didn't like how the ref popped up so quickly to count the pinfall. And how did Wayne's mother just walk down the ramp without security? She's not a member of the roster story wise. So she just freely was chilling in the back while her son , who is a active member was out due to the chair spot. Usually family members are in the crowd front row for a type of interference. So it's like welp thats Nick Wayne's mom coming from the back where the other wrestlers are thats cool. It was so obvious what her intentions were.

    1 critique that I would offer would be just to have someone let the crowd know that, although we appreciate the enthusiasm during the show, we'd appreciate it if we could not chant "Holy $hit" as it mutes the show for the people watching us live on television at home, and mutes the announcers. Have fun, and enjoy the show! That would take maybe 30 seconds to do, and would make watching even better. Also, maybe tone down Booker T or replace him. I mean, how many times can he say "Oh Wow, Oh Yeah, Oh Man" and the other half of the time you can't understand a word he's saying. I know Booker is a valuable asset but at some point it just becomes unbearable to listen to him, and it gets worse every week.
