Normally appreciation threads are focused on one specific thing, but I'd say NXT deserves one big appreciation thread. My interest in WWE has faded some since Summerslam, but NXT has remained a must-watch for me every week. It's just so damn good. Loads of interesting characters and gimmicks, an actual Womens Division that is booked to be just as important as everything else on the show, great matches, stories that benefit from the Keep It Simple Stupid style of booking.
What are your favourite things about NXT?

The women, including Renee Young.
Sami Zayn.
Random Cesaro appearences.
And most of all, its crowd.

The fact that it's free on Hulu. The women's division featuring great wrestlers. Loads of fun characters and storylines. Sami Zayn chasing Bo Dallas for the NXT Championship. Tag Division, hoping we get more tag teams. Good Commentary, especially William Regal. The fact that it seems more intense with a smaller but hyper crowd. That the wrestlers and fans both seem to enjoy wrestling here. it's my favorite Wrestling show right now.

It'd just be quicker to tell you what I don't like about NXT, rather than list all the things I love.

This thread needs to make room for WWE's next main eventing monster villain.

I freaking love NXT. It's the only thing I've still got set to record on my Sky box at home, so I'll have a stack of them waiting when I come home every few weeks.

Just an absurd amount of talent in NXT right now. I love it!

It's funny how NXT has about 20 male superstars that more or less COULD be promoted to Raw/Smackdown and would gel perfectly with the roster. By comparison, the main roster has roughly 40 regular superstars as it is.
Same goes for divas. Roughly 10 divas who regularly compete on main roster. About half a dozen who could be bumped up and compete.
And think -- the performance center JUST opened. We're talking epic levels of competition over the next year, folks.

HHH and Kidman as headbookers
So this is what a show would be like without the politcs or egos.
Seriously if this is how hhh will structure his shows in the future i am all for it. WWE has always done its best work in an hour.
Great talent. Great Booking. Great production. It really feels like an alternative to wwe

I love how these threads pop up on a regular basis. It's great. And we're onto the second generation of NXT stars now and the product still holds up.

Adrian Neville, Aiden English, Alexander Rusev, Colin Cassady & Enzo Amore, Corey Graves, Kassius Ohno, Leo Kruger, Oliver Grey, Sami Zayn, Scott Dawson, Sylvester Lefort, Tyler Breeze, Xavier Woods, The Ascension, Bayley, Paige, Emma, Charlotte and Sasha Banks. Even Bo Dallas in troll mode. The great talent already on TV and most of whom are ready for the big shows. Then you've got Kalisto (Samuray del Sol), Shaun Ricker, Simon Gotch, Rebecca Knox, Solomon 'Sami Calihan' Crowe and possibly Mascarita Dorada all waiting for their NXT debuts. Not to mention a guy called Marcus Louis, who whilst I can't post the link, you could search for his presentation skills promo from the recent leaks. Pretty damn funny.
As for the show itself, it's damn near perfect. Setting is great, crowd is great, matches are great, the fact every level of the card has some story going, including overlapping stories. And it's nice to see it being quite organic and less forced. The fans make or break someone, rather than being forced on us. The fans wanted no more Bo, so they've turned him into this 'thinks he's the superface' heel against the top guy in Sami Zayn. It's glorious, all of it. The divas getting arguably some of the most important airtime is good too.
All in all, favourite show.
