While, not the work rate brand any more, it’s still sort of the fan service brand.
We would never get a TNA crossover on raw. Sure we’ll get the occasional royal rumble appearance, but a full blown inter promotion challenge? Crazy.
I loved how black and gold would bring in independent wrestlers who weren’t contracted to them, because it’s be cool. Like Liger and Alex Shelly.
If there’s some storyline with an obviously perfect character to bring in, either because it’d be funny or it’d be cool, they bring them in for an appearance.
If a jobber got over, they’d keep showing up for a few weeks.
All dead wcw and 90s wwf trademarks being be reused.
Even if a bad gimmick was re used, they’d make it work. Nxt underground being the best example. Or the place to try out new gimmick matches.

i like to think of NXT as the ballpit/crusty ass gamecube kiosk from 20 years ago at McDonald's while WWE/AEW is your parents screaming that they want a divorce at each other outside

NXT is the best wrestling show on TV every week and I stand by it. Best women’s division in the game too

I like it so much because it's so different from the other shows WWE and AEW produce.

NXT can do the surprise crossovers due to the crowd, IMO. I'm not sure that a normal Raw or Smackdown type crowd would know who a Jordynne Grace or Ethan Page would be like the smaller, fanatic crowd that NXT gets would.
The Raw/Smackdown crowds would need to see a performer before to immediately understand the importance of them.

I can just watch it & chill without thinking too much lol. Also the Nxt threads are fun & usually more positive than the Raw & Smackdown threads.

For being two hours it really doesn’t feel like it. A lot of backstage nonsense, dumb storylines, over the top characters. It’s an absolute blast. I don’t know what era but sometimes it feels more like a WWE show than whatever Raw and Smackdown have evolved into. They can take a lot more risks, instead of following the current main brand formula.
I like my wrestling fun that doesn’t take itself seriously. Fells like current OVW with a bugget.
