It's the unpredictability.
It reminds you of the Monday Night Wars where there was something happening all the time or it could be a by-the-numbers show and then BAM something happens.

I'm not gonna speak for other people, but I love NXT because I know exactly what I'm gonna get out of it, it never disapoints me.

I watch for Bliss and Balor.
That sounds like an awesome team name now that I think of it.

If NXT were live I'd concede this a little, but even tho I don't read spoilers I still find out what's gonna happen by people talking about it.
If it weren't a taped show and I was watching and James Storm walked out, my face would have looked like that guys in the crowd.

It's not an issue of unpredictability for me, but that it feels a little less tedious. It has an advantage in that, obviously, the main roster has been in the public eye a lot longer, so we get used to them, and they use the same people again and again more on the main roster, but still, with people learning and new folks coming in all the time to replace call ups, there's a lot of turnover.
Look at Dana. She's not perfect by any means, but she's getting a lot better than she was, Alexa's showing god progress, too, and Corbin's gained a lot more dimension as a performer. You get to see a work in progress, and the changes readily apparent help to keep things pretty fresh for me.

Decent shows booked consistently with the best talent available without any pressure to make money, draw big live crowds on it's own merits or shake things up to comply with the whims of Vince or to try and increase ratings.

I love NXT because of the quality wrestling, the freshness of the product with new characters and wrestlers being introduced, and yes, the lighting and general set up are also infinitely better.

This isn't against the OP, but I don't understand the need to quantify why NXT is so good.

I think it's because Triple H built that shit from the ground up all on his own out of his own pocket, with no help from Vince or his money!

I like it because its a wrestling show built around wrestling. What goes on in the ring actually matters.

Its a show built on wrestling - which is why wrestling fans generally seem to take to it. I don't think the hacky, honestly tacky methods of the MNW really apply here because that time wasn't exactly known for its wrestling.
NXT makes wrestling the focus of the show which, as sad as it is to say, is actually a huge departure from WWE's usual stuff.
They talk about how they bring in the BEST wrestlers from around the world or how their wrestlers crossed over from other sports to train at the best wrestling school in the world.
They still have fun characters and what not, but in the background there's always the emphasis on how people come to NXT because they're the best WRESTLERS and want a new challenge or they came from another industry and want to be the best wrestler. There's definitely an emphasis on skill though.
Meanwhile on RAW they're still doing soap opera stuff about who is controlling the company and how dastardly they are or how corrupt someone is or who is sleeping with who or whatever dumb shit they're doing with Del Rio & Zeb.
