Why isnt nxt on tv

That's how the business works. Few people can just walk in and be a complete package right away. It takes time. That's why you put a guy like Hawkins on NXT so he can develop his talents even more. His promos against Matt Striker were fun.

He's the kind of heel you would want to see get his ass kicked because he talks so much. He plays his character well. As for his ring work, he's above average. I really noticed him during his match against Kidd a few weeks back. What I've learned about T-Reks cheesy name by the way is that he's pretty good on the microphone. He's more of the power guy in his team with Hawkins while also being the one who talks less.

However, he's proven he can handle himself in the promo department. I like Hawkins better in terms of their future in singles, but as a team they've developed good chemistry. The other veterans that appear such a Michael McGillicutty get him a name change! The purpose of NXT is to develop talent. Look at it as a show that will allow you to see how talented some of the stars of the future are.

Go on YouTube, search for clips of matches like Kidd vs. Hawkins or Bateman vs. Curtis, watch some of their matches and you'll see how good they are. The original concept of NXT failed. I'm glad that WWE has admitted it by doing a reset on the show. Now they're using the time as a tool to get talent ready before they are regulars on Raw or Smackdown. It's a smart way to utilize an hour-long show in front of a big audience.

The best way for talent to improve? If the fans watching Raw and SmackDown never end up seeing them, WWE doesn't have to worry about explaining their absence. New User posted their first comment.

TakeOver used to be appointment television.

Can't miss shows where almost every match felt like a MOTY contender. That is no longer the case. Yes, it was only one match, but it was the main event, and the NXT Title was on the line.

We can already hear what NXT fans will say to all of this. That the pandemic is to blame. There is no avoiding the fact that is at least partly true. All wrestling has been affected by the pandemic, even companies like NXT that have been able to continue in some capacity. However, we would argue that the black and gold brand's issues started before the pandemic. Even though its stars have always been called up to Raw and SmackDown , since doubling the show's size, it has felt as if NXT hasn't been able to fill those gaps as quickly as it used to.

Like trying to plug holes in a sinking ship. That might be the wrong way to word it as in no way do we think NXT is a sinking ship.

It isn't going anywhere. We also might have been harsh to brand it being beyond repair in the article's title.
