But somehow they did.
Not a fan of 2.0 but somehow they got me to care about
Duke Hudson Andre chase Von Wagner Grayson Waller
And before that, I really didn’t expect to like Indi Hartwell, but that Dexter thing, and they Way really made her an nxt darling. Especially since she was one of the last remnants of Black and Gold nxt.

I rarely watch entire shows but he seems to get the most heat of anyone from what I see. He absolutely knows how to be the slimy heel (just like his real dad). I'd really like to see him get a US or IC title run at some point, using absolute chickenshit cheating tactics to retain.

I’ll hold my hands up and admit I didn’t get LA Knight when he initially joined NXT but I’m fully on board the Knight Rider now.

Especially since she was one of the last remnants of Black and Gold nxt. I love Indi because of her performance in The Way and with Dexter. She was so good during that. I'll always be a fan because of that. Hell, the only time if ever cared at all about Austin Theory was when he was the "lovable idiot" in The Way. I miss that, to be honest. I know he is "too talented" to do that forever, but he's so "meh" right now that I wish he'd go back if only for a few months.

Grayson Waller quickly went from someone that I didn’t get the appeal of at all to someone that’s become one of my must-see talents

Andre Chase, and I worked myself into a shoot with Von Wagner.

Definitely Dom Mysterio. Like, I still don't think he's a particularly good wrestler but he's really leaned into the character work with help from JD (especially Rhea). He gets how to be an absolutely despicable heel.

I remember when Isla Dawn first debuted on NXT UK in 2018 all I could think was "this girl sucks and she can't even buy a personality, they really need to consider letting her go". But she really proved me wrong and has done nothing but impress since debuting in NXT last year.

Almost every wrestler I've ever liked?
Few wrestlers properly win me over in their first couple of appearances. There's the odd exception like Undertaker and Emma.
The classic example is apathy for The Ringmaster to Stone Cold becoming one of the GOATs.

He gets how to be an absolutely despicable heel. Dom is a lot better wrestler than I thought at first. He's always in the right place for the big spots. You don't see him wriggling into the correct position to take moves. He's never late breaking up a pin in tag matches (Erik was late on Monday, and he's been doing this for 20 years. I haven't seen Dom mistime a breakup since joining JD.) He's really good at a lot of the little things that keep matches flowing smoothly. Like many people, I thought it was ridiculous that Dom skipped NXT just because he's Rey's son, but the more I watch him, the more I believe he wouldn't have been there very long anyway.

Dominik Mysterio- I would actually be on board for him to weasel his way to end Gunther's reign.

The last few weeks I was indifferent, but after MITB I'm more interested in Grayson Waller after his segment with Cena.

Von Wagner Carmella - I thought she was just dragging Enzo and Cass down when she debuted on NXT Liv Morgan - Her theme was basically just "YO YO YO!" in NXT, and the only defining thing about her at the time was just "Jersey Girl" Grayson Waller LA Knight - The whole "Rising" thing with Drew McIntyre and Tanga Loa in TNA, and the He-Man look Andre Chase Duke Hudson Dominik Mysterio The Miz - The 2006 version of him was legit obnoxious

The Miz is my ultimate example of this. Hated him for years, then his pairing with JoMo and his Chick Magnet persona with the shorts and trilby- my god, it was just like...yep I get it, I like this dude now.
Modern day its LA Knight. Every time he's shown up somwhere over the years I've groaned and within months I'm loving his act.
