OK, we've banked a few episodes in of the new NXT, and it's definitely got the board interested, but not all of them in the same way. Wave after wave after wave of new talents and plenty of colour, chaos and camera cuts. Let's find out together where we actually stand at the first three weeks.

It’s incredible in its own bizarre way and the live thread is the greatest weekly thread in the history of this sport.
Prime black/yellow NXT was a better pure wrestling show. But this is so goshdarn entertaining too.

I've tried to give it a fair shot, but...there's not a single thing on the show that makes me want to watch, and thus far it's not worth the migraine the bright lights give me.

This feels like Vince and dunne either eased up or just lost interest again as it seemed more like it’s normal self. Except the constant flow of new guys

I think it has potential to be a good show someday, but it's mostly really bad so far. It's at least interesting to watch unlike Raw and SD most weeks, though, IMO.

It’s absolutely coming off as where Vince and Bruce will try anything they don’t have the audacity to put on the main shows. They’re throwing everything at the wall and not a lot sticks.
I think the “WTF” appeal is keeping me hooked. As is Bron Breakker.

I feel like the overall quality has taken a massive dip. While there are some shining spots (Bron Breakker), its completely eclipsed by all of the bad (Toxic Attraction, Joe Gacy, Carmelo/Trick).

It is. It just is. Basically akin to later WWECW.

This week was a little better, at least they didn't introduce 20 people at once and expect me to care. With time, it could be more enjoyable once some people are more known, I guess.

It’s become so fun to riff, even the awful parts.

i'm still undecided, i fast forward through much more than i used to because hardly any of the new people have much of an impression outside of "not a steiner" guy and the woman from the diamond mine who went all one punch man on someone last week. i'm also waiting to see if the holdovers are going to be cast aside or jobbed out to the new people. but so far it's been a couple steps downward for me

It just takes getting used to that this is now a bunch of people we haven't really seen on TV and the wrestling isn't at the level it was even a month ago. Eventually some of the new characters will click & find their footing.

As it currently stands, I'm having a difficult time trying to stay interested in it. There's way too many people debuting at once with very little being done to hype them up (not to mention the weird-ass names and some of the gimmicks), the production values have taken a dip since it's more like the main roster, and there are noticeable times where where things aren't really clicking with the wrestlers involved, which to be fair, is expected at this juncture.
Granted, there are some positives like Steiner, Jones, and Andre Chase. But like I said, it's definitely not for me.

Overall, I find it refreshingly different and unlike any other wrestling product right now.

im liking more characters are now being developed/introduced, for a while it was too many good wrestlers but generic/no personality ..

Some parts I like but while its more interesting to me than what nxt workrate a palooza had become its still a mess.
It reminds me of 2005 OVW when Cornette got suspended they put Tommy Dreamer,Lance Storm and Al Snow in charge and they totally changed OVW in a week.It went from a regional territory style product with high match quality to 50 random new people showing up with zero explanation. There was horrible wrestling,swearing,violence,sex and playing to the internet.It was some of the worst wrestling tv I’ve ever seen and the talent was so green.

It's truly developmental on national TV. They're gonna throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks. Some will look good, some bad. It's not boring which my complaint for NXT for awhile had been that it stagnated and things weren't catching on

It's the show equivalent of how I used to check FCW's roster page all the time to see which new large sons got added and I love that.
