How much of NXT UK have you seen?

[Final Countdown Jones]

I've dipped in and out, but I don't think I can fully get into NXT UK until it feels like something they're doing for a good reason rather than to grab the UK scene by the balls. If only a handful of people ever actually move up and everyone else is just held in stasis then it's just not really something I can ever truly get into.

I watched every episode until about a month ago. I just don't care. Even when I was watching it, it was just out of habit. I like some of the wrestlers, but they could easily take the half dozen men and 3 women that stand out and just put them in regular NXT.

Also, you can see pretty much the same roster put on better matches and better wrestling shows in general in Progress.

Hell, OTT at one point had most of the guys on the UK roster on shows and they feel more substantial. This weekend, BSS are coming over and I’m psyked despite the fact I have ready access to NXT UK via flatmate’s account.

I don't see that happening for this spinoff, several months in. Is it just destined to be like 205 Live, except it's talked about even less?

This is a harsh comparison because NXT UK
apparently consistently beats 205 Live in the viewership rankings for the WWE network.

I've seen a couple of pics and gifs in the pics and gifs threads.

[Duke Cameron]

None at all.

It's still finding it's feet. Yeah that's a weird thing to say after 30+ episodes but NXT didn't really take shape until a year after it's rebirth.

It's very old school in its approach, the wrestling is the focus and they use backstage interviews and promo videos to further the feuds moreso than angles and in ring promos. Plus it seems to treat losses and wins more seriously than other WWE programming. It feels like there is even some kind of unofficial ranking system.

They've a real talented roster who are mostly caught in between indy dates and WWE commitments. So there's a learning curve for both the wrestlers and the viewers.

It's always a solid wrestling show. I really enjoy it. That Jordan Devlin/Travis Banks match on the latest epsiode may have been the best match to take place on NXT UK yet, and that includes the Takeover in Blackpool.

Overall I think it's getting better with each week and is worth a watch.

[brown bricks]

I watched that NXT UK Takeover and that was enough for me. I have no interest in it whatsoever.

[King Devitt and the Woke Mob]

A bit.

I watched the tournament, a few of the NXT weekly shows if they had someone I liked on there (usually Rhea or Dunne, later on Devlin), and then I watched the Takeover to gauge my interest going forward.

I'm one of the few for whom the Blackpool show just didn't click for.
Other than Finn and the main event I thought the entire thing was so boring.

It's either gimmicks I think are stupid as hell (Moustache Mountain), interchangeable white dudes with beards, or people I just don't see how they get any TV time at all like Eddie Dennis who looks like the definition of Shindy (I could rant but I won't).

Don't care for WALTER at all, and nothing else has grabbed me to want to watch.
In all honesty I'm not even sure I'll watch the next Takeover they have.

[Doctor Of Style]

None. Raw, Smackdown and PPVs is enough for me.

[lionheart21]

I think I've only missed about 2 episodes thus far

[Bo Rida]

Watched the episode with the first women's title match (iirc), didn't like that main event and haven't watch since.

Although not due to that match, just too much wrestling when I'm into it and periods when I'm not subscribed (doubt I will be until wm weekend).
