if punk comes back to aew it will be the end of the company

Why was this filmed and acted like the start of some cheap p***

Current NXT is best described as not a good show, but has a lot of very promising young prospects, and a few already polished wrestlers.

What the f*** lmao

Wrestling peaked in the 90's everywhere

How’d Lita age so well but Trish looks like a fish

It’s developmental

Shawn is doing a good job developing wrestlers even if the show sucks

It’s like a complete 180 from when HHH was running it.

I’m late but why did Punk post that on IG? What was he responding to?

Under Hunter it was a super indie lmao

Barely developmental then

NXT fell off in 2018-2019 to me

He ain't totally wrong.lol

Fell off in after Beast in the East in 2016.
Basically became WWE: Ring of Honor

NXT started to follow the same template for a lot of their matches towards the end for me

Jokes in the wrestling thread???????

The matches were hitting, but for me once the pandemic hit it severely hurt the product. 2019 it started to go down because it seemed like they kept trying to 1 up Dynamite when they were going head to head

What a time tha was lmao. I was kind of shocked a WWE backed product was kicking NXTs ass in the beginning

It’s pretty funny that all the top talent from that era of NXT is in AEW now

Management did a piss poor job at handling those called up from NXT. The decision making (Vince) did a lot more good for AEW than they did for WWE at that time. I think it’s def something to look back on many years from now.

I may sound bias but one of the smartest things a wrestling company ever did (Impact) was let guys come in and keep their IPs.

Ehhhh… none of those guys really popped off in AEW either. Cole been hurt, Keith Lee & Swerve stink & Kross is terrible

I think the fed made the right choice in moving on from the Indie guys

Why are they still holding Roderick Strong hostage lmaooo

Yeah but it also added a lot more depth and notoriety. Look at the previous roster before the massive cuts by WWE. It def helped clean up AEW.
