They changed Lee's theme? I dunno if he's ruined yet but we've all seen it happen before with NXT callups so I can understand the gut negative reactions. Nak started out with just an annoying font change on his tron and then... Nakamura still had his theme and himself, was still incredibly over until his Mania Match with AJ I would say really f***ed him as did not being able to beat Mahal It USUALLY takes a few weeks or so for an NXT callup to get completely ruined or immersed in the WWE stink. Keith's was an overload of bad decisions, that's why it sticks out so negatively. Losing to Jinder definitely took the wind out of his sails for a bit... but he managed to get it back with the Rumble win... the losing to AJ could have worked if it went anywhere... but all it did was make it look like Nakamura couldn't get the job done.

Seeing more pictures now, he's dressed like he's Shorty G's taller friend, who also plays pickup basketball. Talley Lee. Tal-Lee was RIGHT THERE man! to close to Big E... so his name will be changed to.. I dunno... Fred. just Fred. >_>

Oh look, Vince's allergy to making money flared up again. Why alter a presentation that was already working wonderfully?

Ok, I’m not going to say he’s done or anything but considering the audience NXT has probably has a lot of crossover with Raw’s audience at this point...the hell do you get changing the guy’s whole look and theme when it’s fundamentally clear that people who also watch NXT know what his theme and gear look like?
Like...what even IS the point of NXT at this point? It’s a loss leader for a reason and that reason is you take that person over the finishing line by getting them ready so...do that?

The point of NXT is for Triple H to smash his toys together. Oh, sure, but like I said, it’s a loss leader. It loses money for the intention to make money from it later on. If you’re not going to use it to craft the people to make money from later on...why not just take more control of it? Guide talent how you want them to be and sign the people you want? Because at this point, it just feels like they’re all separate realities.

Why am I not surprised at the responses and who the response are from
Real talk, calm the f*** down. I don’t like the gear and music either but to say he’s ruined off that is some shallow bullshit
Give it some time

Pick a lane, guys! It’s the only combo of their names that actually rolls off the tongue any good. You ever tried doing “Antonio and O’Shaunessy”?

I think Antonio O’Shaunessy might be their Potara Earring fusion result.

Man I'm super bummed they changed Keith Lee's entrance music. That song was a banger and let everyone know the biggest star in wrestling was in the building.

This is a man who Vince apparently loves. It might be he’s less spiteful to his audience and just awful at his job now. It has been this as well for a long time. People don't realise that several of their favourite burials were Vince trying to get someone over, he just doesn't know how any more.

I believe Vince is a lot of things, but I’ve never believed that he’s someone who actively wants to put on a bad show. It’s just that his idea of “good” seems largely unique to him and not to any others.
