I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



Basically watching this on Twitter in gif form because it's not airing in Canada while AEW is on TSN

If his salary is the same, what difference does it make to him? Seems like a fun chance to try and get a third brand going

Well gently caress, there goes any hope of having Demon vs JuggaFiend for a title rematch.

Finn just got married so maybe the appeal of the NXT schedule made him okay with going down, though going to NXT isn't really a downgrade

Remember a lot of people were happier in NXT and Finn was one of them. If he wants to have an easier schedule, more power to him.

I guess specially because its "a third brand" but also i really feel bad for the newer people that might get lost in the shuffle if more big names are coming back or down to NXT

I'm wondering what they're gonna fill Raw with. Most the big names will be on Smackdown.

I disagree. They already have two arena shows, this lets them cast NXT as a plucky/underground/underdog show (however disingenuously). But I could be wrong.

I really think it’s weird to make that world title match the main event. They should have hyped that match the whole night. Not to mention having Finn debut.

All Vince cares about is optics. Let's hope he stays away from NXT, but now that it's getting "mainstream", you gotta wonder if he's going to be able to resist meddling.

Like theoretically having NXT just stay at Full Sail and broadcast on TV works because, 1, when they actually go to a bigger arena for a Takeover it feels like a special massive event. If you want to see NXT live you either have to wait for a Takeover to be in your town or close to it, or you go to Orlando and see them in the smaller arena but get to see a lot of shows taped all at once. Though I'm not sure that's going to be the case anymore if they're gonna do it weekly live.

My second reason being that if they do what the other WWE brands do and just do a weekly two hour show, it makes seeing them live not stand out anymore. AEW NEED to be on tv AND travel around to different arenas they need to get that exposure, NXT already has that head start for them. Everyone knows Takeovers are where you want to be and their weekly stuff to watch.

This show has been decent so far. But there is some weird disconnect with me where they’re trying to be this big important show but at full sail. I used to enjoy watching NXT because it was the student show with Indy guys added for guaranteed good matches. Trying to be a third brand and not upping the production seems kind of weird to me.

pretty sure they're going to start touring soon eventually. NXT always does fine compared to main roster, but they also aim for smaller arenas or venues than college basketball stadium

I want to treat it like a Takeover and the match quality is there. But it really does just feel small scale.
