I feel like I'm watching a new best ever NXT match at pretty much every Takeover so I'm gonna let the match sit for a bit before I decide lol
How NXT and WWE operates under the same company is absolutely mind boggling.
NXT has incredible crowds. NXT has incredible matches. NXT has incredible story telling. NXT has incredible personalities. NXT has incredible commentary, even with guys like Percy Watson. NXT has incredible ... well basically everything. Everything makes sense while maintaining a crowd that wants to throw their money at the product.
WWE has mediocre crowds, who throw money because they are accustomed too. WWE has the odd great match, a bunch of good matches, and a ton of mediocre wrestling. WWE has, usually, 2 or 3 stories that make sense and a bunch of other people wrestling "just because." WWE has basically no personalities. WWE has awful commentary, even with a few great commentators like Phillips and Graves. WWE just so mediocre without any planning.
It just boggles my mind. I hope Triple H can continue his vision on the main roster when he time finally comes because it's a dream for wrestling fans AND entertainment fans alike. Casual or hardcore. It's just... so good. Even when some booking decision upsets you in NXT, you can usually understand where they're going, why they did it, or give it a pass just because the product is so good that you trust them.
Right now, NXT is the best wrestling promotion in the World to me. NJPW is second. Stardom is 3rd. Evolve is 4th. I'm not a huge ROH fan anymore, but it's still okay. But basically the new group of wrestling is ROH, WWE, and Impact.
I don't watch All Japan or Mexican wrestling very much, so I can't include those.
