Next step up up from booing other cities for getting Takeover events. The Florida house shows have been like this a while now, complaints now just reek of "How dare they grow". On top of that WWE lists talent for both shows on WWE.com so being upset with what you got is on you for not paying attention.

Did they advertise the second show as such? If so, then I don't see any real argument against the card.

Is the A show touring nationally from here on out? Seeing all those guys for 10 bucks was so awesome, I hope they don't stop doing the FL house loop. I'm selfish, sue me.

Also, wwe.com advertises which wrestlers are scheduled to appear. Like next week for example, Memphis & Nashville is advertised to get Balor, Corbin, Joe, Bayley, etc. They are running Florida shows next week and they have different names scheduled to appear such as Asuka, Mojo, etc. So there's always that. Also, getting their main talent out of the road for more than an audience from 1 state is probably something they want them to experience. And I don't know about the Florida show prices, but Memphis top tier price was $75.
EDIT: Just looked and the Florida show Friday night is $10 and $20.

It's more because NXT has gotten popular and respected because of the big Indy/international talents, and these other guys are not on their level, and thus, not "worthy" of being part of this popular and respected brand. |

Normally, I'd agree with you, but not this time. This time it's that Florida NXT fans have become accustomed to getting the full NXT roster at the usual Florida shows, and so they started to think of this as "their thing", and now they feel like it's being ripped away from them, and all they're being left with is the Fresh Meat that's not ready for prime-time. And they're bitter about it. |

And they're bitter about it. Not true In the past 12 months or so, the Florida house shows got plenty of these type of "B-team shows" with (admittedly) a few more stars than the recent show mentioned in the OP The only time NXT Florida shows had most of their "A-team roster" there (Bayley, Joe, Sami...) was when there were no other WWE or NXT tours on the same day/period |

to be fair, if I paid for that duckshit card, i'd be a little mad. I'd hope they'd keep one or 2 stars behind but there isn't really anyone except Asuka vs Emma

They just need to either:
1. Book tours within distance so if certain people from the "A-Show" can make it to the "B-Show" so that the other show isn't all filled with the newly signed guys/girls.
2. Split up the roster so that they make it so that you have to go to both shows to see the guys you want. Which goes back to the whole booking the tours within close distance from each other.
3. Have a few of the main guys on the other show so that the "B-Shows" won't be looked down upon from most critics.

The main roster pulls this trick all the time when they have two house shows on the same day. One show gets the A-talent, one gets the B-talent. I think it was last month where there was a live Raw and a house show happening at the same time? The only Champion on that house show was Charlotte. The main event was The Dudleyz and Kane vs The Wyatts. Yeah that's been a trick for as long as there has been wrestling. As someone who's closest WWE town is a "B-town" (Green Bay) I'm used to this stuff. I always feel bad for kids. We'd go to a show in the Attitude Era and the souvenir stand would be stocked with merchandise for Austin, Rock, Undertaker, etc and you'd see kids decked out head to toe in that stuff. Then our two main events would be the Acolytes vs Dudleys and Edge vs William Regal. |

To me the problem can be easily fixed: have the NXT champion headline one show and have the NXT women's champion headline the other. The younger, newer people need to cut their teeth, but there's enough star power to divvy it up across both shows. Even then, I'm sure WWE values certain markets more than others, as in, Nashville is probably the bigger concern than Lakeland. But I don't know if the eggs in one basket approach is the best way to grow the NXT brand if this perceived unbalance of star-power continues.

What would justify the anger? Not only that, but people forget that for the Florida shows, they get the shows off and on weekly as a regular part of the Performance Center training in addition to this super-low price. By contrast, the national tour has people who are in new cities for NXT to tour, with a crowd paying four times the amount the Florida people are paying, to finally get a chance to see NXT (and are paying prices so anyone on the Midwest tour would probably be just as willing to find a cheap flight to Orlando just to fly in and see these "B-shows" just for more NXT, at a similar price for the best seats.) Screw the Florida fans saying "But- we didn't get an A-show!", I'd feel for them more if these were complaints from the national tour that they paid hundreds to be there and didn't get to see Asuka, Emma, or Blake and Murphy because they were sent to the Florida shows than I ever could the Florida fans not getting an NXT A-show for the price of a shindy |

There is a simple solution: rebrand the Florida shows as NXT:NXT so people know its real developmental, not Indie competition Developmental.

I been to indy shows where the biggest name on the card is Action Mike Jackson and they charged 15 bucks. If you're bitching about a B show that cost between 10 to 20 dollars with La Sombra, Rich Swann, Biff Busick, and Asuka on the card, you are an spoiled dickbag.
