WWE assumes nobody ever watches NXT or cares about any of the feuds they set up in it. See: Gargano/Ciampa, Asuka/Anyone

This cuts against their desire to have a lot of people watch NXT so it will crush AEW.

And their assumption that everyone watches NXT so they don't really need to explain who anyone is or what their gimmick is... or that no-one does and they can just totally repackage them, depending on what direction the butterfly in a jar that runs things in Stanford is flying that moment.

CAN IT BE?

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!

If he could get away with showing no wrestling at all and nothing but garbage backstage skits and commercials, he would.

He doesn't have any interest in doing a wrestling show.

I wonder with the creation of NXT Japan on the horizon, if Kairi would consider going there.

A condition of the sale will be if Kairi joins them she has to job incessantly

It's almost like turning Kairi heel was a bad idea. Shocking, I know.

Kairi is an incredible heel, but she's an incredible pro wrestler. It's well-trodden territory but good lord have they loving botched every second of her main roster call-up. Just a parade of garbage decisions made seemingly to spite the audience for daring to care about what they watch.

She's good at playing a heel but when 90% of the women's roster feels like heels and when she has a super over pirate gimmick... :argh:

If they had any sort of a track record for planning things out, I'd accuse them of turning her heel just to screw with everyone saying she should use the Pirate Ship at the stadium for Wrestlemania.

With the exception of Lacey, I'm not sure if any of their workers are truly "bad" because WWE goes out of their way to drain any personality or unique style from their entire roster

Anyone could theoretically be amazing and we'd never know because of what they force every wrestler to be

Lacey is objectively horrible though and would be horrible in any company in any context

I get all of my WWE info from this thread and the gifs that get posted on twitter. I stick around because goofing on WWE's trash decisions and reminiscing about the past is fun and funny.

Over the past year I've switched to watching NJPW, AEW, DDT/TJPW, and STARDOM and all of those are better-booked promotions with better match quality and better character work. And I don't speak the language most of them are in.
