Where the big boys RAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGH FUCK YOU
Hello welcome to NXT, please acclimate yourself to wrestling in front of a TV audience consisting of the same ~500 people once every month or two plus some house shows and four or five large events that almost exclusively attract fans of the NXT programming each year. Do this for the next two or three years or maybe longer who knows

Ok good job you made it to the main roster, now please immediately transfer your character and ability to a main roster schedule that consists of weekly live television, monthly large PPV events, constantly changing audiences that probably didn't watch NXT or care about you and near constant road travel and an entirely new world of talent politics and jockeying for position

Hmm golly why do so many of these NXT graduates end up not working out on the big shows the same way they did in Orlando? Some mysteries will never be solved, go tell Brock we'll give him another half million to show up for two extra dates this year

It's amusing that NXT manages to book things in such a way that everyone looks decent to very good, then people get called to the main roster, look like poo poo, and it becomes NXT's fault for not preparing them for Raw's infinitely shittier booking

It turns out that pre-taping two months of one hour shows leading up to 5 PPVs a year leads to more coherent booking than needing to fill five hours of live television on a weekly basis and build to 14 PPVs over the same time

Any Taker Mania build needs to begin with him sheepishly walking into the stadium in Orlando to pick up the gear he left in the middle of the ring

Sid's performance was better because he poop he pant and still wrestled the mania.

Jesus, if they actually do another Taker match after the one with Roman. Forget about the match quality, what the hell about his big retirement leave his gear in the ring thing? What about building for the future by having the biggest icon in your company put the new guy over in his last match? What about Roman's stupid big dog gimmick being based entirely on being the guy who put Taker down? What about the entire story of that match based on the booking being that Taker can't hack it anymore and Roman reluctantly putting him down? Do they even care about their own self-appointed Golden Calf?

roman already made it his yard, thats why wrestlemania is indoors this year

Undertaker's WWE career has been "do the thing we should have done five years too late" for nearly a decade now, why not just keep going with it? I'm sure Taker is fine getting a giant paycheck to look old and tired for about 40 minutes once a year
