NXT is the best wrestling show on TV at the minute. I can't get enough of it.

It's booked so well. It doesn't stink of Vince McMahon at all, which gives me hope for the future. No campy gimmicks, no long talking segments, talents booked to their strengths (love what they're teasing with Corbin and Dempsey) and the guys at the top of the card put on great matches.

Couldn't care less about Corbin and Dempsey tbh, just not for me the whole squash match thing though. Finn Balor is the bollocks like, he won't be there long. Kevin Owens' Vignettes have been brilliant, can't wait for him to debut next week. Sami Zayn is without doubt the best sympathetic babyface in WWE at the moment and by good is he a fantastic talent.

The reason NXT is so good is because the booking/writing team all come from Wrestling backgrounds. Triple H oversees everything and it's his baby but Dusty Rhodes is the lead writer/booker iirc. Regal has a fair amount of input no doubt, he's the one that goes out and scouts the best free agents from the indies, the UK and Japan.

They also benefit from the show only being one hour long, means you have to just pack quality into those 45 minutes, Raw is just too long and have too many writers that are failed Soap Opera writers or whatever.

They need to give Balor a better image. I hope they let him run with the mad body paint.

I can see them pairing three or four of the best NXT talents together when they eventually debut on the main roster. Neville's future has to be as part of a team. Owens as the head, perhaps? Great talker. I dunno, just a bit of fantasy stuff.

Re: how its booked, it's the only explanation really. Dallas, Kruger, Emma, Paige and Big E to name a few have been booked horrifically since being called up.

Balor doesn't need the paint but I think it will be used for a big event . He will make lasses gan daft just because of the way he looks and he'll get over with the fans as a talent, so glad I got to see him in person when he was over here with ICW.
