Non console war thread, serious question: What killed the buzz?
>>19009642too many aew shitters
Nobody aside from a select few have personality and are bad at acting
>>19009642Nielsen woke up and figured out that wrestling is gay and retarded, sadly like 90% of the people who browse this board still haven't figured that out yet
tna partnership
>>19009642You posted it. Black & Silver feels like an attempt to push NXT closer to the direction that Gaytch likes: indy guys and Hottest Free Agents having heatless, pointless bangerinos. Almost everything that made White & Gold and 2.0 enjoyable and fun to watch has been gutted over the last year to turn the show into late era Black & Gold because Gaytch seems to forget that NXT is supposed to be a developmental show and not a WWE-branded indy promotion. The only HFA who's really worked out is Ethan Page and that's because he gets the point of wrestling is to entertain and rile up the crowd. But the more elaborate and kindy of cheesy storylines that gave people a reason to give a shit about even lower card stuff is gone, the pre-tapes are mostly gone, most anything that actually contributed anyone to having a character that wasn't generic has been stripped away. All the indy people and AEW castoffs and now TNA wrestlers means the lower card people or guys who aren't smark darlings get pushed off the show. There's no actual reason, for example, for Wes and the High Ryze to be slumming it on Evolve when they make for good midcard heels but between all the TNA guys and Taints and having the women take up 3/4 of the show (but only the same handful of women) there's inexplicably nowhere for them on NXT.
>>19009642>What killed the buzz?You tell me. It's the best weekly show going at the moment
>>19009642Anon, that's not a AEW card.
>>19009884If you're gay then sure
>>19009642Too many blacks and NXT was always dog shit that no one cared about
>>19009946
>>19009642Nothing. It's the best wrestling show on TV.
>>19010112What the fuck is this faggotry?
>>19009642I stopped watching when the TNA shit started. Even that aside every show is like 60% womeme and then interchangeable basketball americans.
>>19010145Imagine calling Oba Femi and Je'Vonn Evans interchangeable
>>19010112no wonder gayew competes with nigxt both extremely gay
>>19009642What are you talking about? NXT is as hot as ever
>>19010137It's Kenny Omega and Bandito stopping midmatch to perform the Macarena -dance to entertain the smelly people in house because they forgot they are on national TV
>>19009642this is better than smackdown
>>19010392I can't even fathom it.
>>19010327NXT used to get higher ratings so it's clearly not as hot as ever
>>19009642Paul called up basically all the non-shitters and Shawn refuses to cut the chafe.
>>19010403Sure thing, Trev.
>Fraxiom left to shitdown>The d'angelo family is gone>Chase U is gone>Vaquer is in the main roster now>Giulia is in the main roster nowCan anyone add to this list
>>19010445All of those are dimeless
>>19010445fraxiom sucks
>>19009642The key flaw in NXT is that if someone gets truly over they get called up.
>>19010445Fraxiom and the D'Angelo family I'll give you. Chase U is still around but has no more heat because of the shut down angle that went nowhere. Kale and Uriah would have been fine as replacements for Riley (who sucked) as the non-serious members of the group but they can't carry it themselves.Vaquer and Giulia are/were part of the problem with NXT going back to a black and gold style model.
>>19010445>d'angelo familyThese LARP fucks were cringe.
>>19010445Stephanie also left NXT
they don't do any stories on nxt anymore. everything is too sports like. this applies to all of wwe but especially nxt. all the gimmicks are gone. the free agents have created a logjam so no one gets developed. jordynne grace sucks. ricky saints sucks. giulia sucked. the only wrestlers worth a fuck on nxt are the women and trick/oba/je'von/ethan page and they should have all been called up already. they do too many ppvs now and nothing builds properly. there is no soul in nxt. raw unironically has been a better show since nxt went to cw
>>19010498ngmi
>>19010652Fuck off faggot.
>>19009642Isn't this the show that destroys AEW in the ratings every week?
They fumbled this somehow They have absolutely no clue what they are doing
>>19011705'fraid so
