 So a lot of y'all were asking me leading up to NXT War games this year Was I gonna watch it? Was I gonna live stream it? Were we gonna do it on the main channel and to be honest with you? It wasn't gonna happen it wasn't going to be something that I was going to be interested in and For the first time in quite some time for me since maybe 2017 I I didn't care about NXT. I didn't care about an NXT takeover and that for me is a signal of What's to come on my channel when it comes to NXT related content? Let's let's get into why I don't really care for NXT anymore. What's good Josh your boy Ross back again with another video So, um, yeah, I won't probably be watching the NXT like that anymore Me personally, I just I just don't care for the brand when they rebranded it to nxt 2.0 Under Vince McMahon's creative mind. I use the word creative loosely. I Already knew it was done once they wanted Triple H to step down and then him, you know Suffering, I believe it was a heart attack him dealing with that. I knew it was done I knew it was done and not to say The new version of nxt is bad by any means. I'm sure there are some noticeable Stars and talent that they're trying to push and I'm pretty sure it's entertaining to some people for me I just I just don't care I don't care And it sucks because I should care I think it's not just them calling an nxt 2.0. Give it in a new Splash of paint that's kind of like Not getting me hyped to check out anything nxt related I think it's a culmination of nxt at one point trying to compete with aw Losing their identity. I think that's when things started to really take a turn and not in a good direction Because it wasn't about making sure that they took care of the proper story lines and kept creating new stars Granted they were trying to in the process. It was more so about competing with aw And that's where they went wrong. That's where triple h. I will give triple h some criticism here They went wrong with that grand. I'm sure vince mcmahon was really pushing for them to beat aw in the ratings That's that's really what it was And they were losing majority of the time They were losing because they were trying to compete with another company that they shouldn't have been trying to compete with aw Is doing its own thing They're trying to cater to the wrestling fan a hardcore wrestling fan nxt was that for wwe fans if you cared about actual wrestling and and good storytelling You watched nxt for the most part. That's just what it was and They were trying to compete with aw and I felt like they were forcing things and they were losing their way In my personal opinion, I feel like others felt like that as well So that was that was the start of the downturn and then after that you have the recent releases, you know, due to to Due to budget cuts and you know, we had, you know, the whole covet situation that kind of really slowed things down for nxt In my opinion not having as many people there and then they started letting people there But then ultimately they only started performing out of the performance center with the crowd or what not at full sale and stuff like that and You know, I I miss the nxt takeovers with the big crowd That was that's what made nxt for me So enjoyable my very first time seeing the nxt takeover in like 2017 I believe it was WrestleMania weekend I was actually on vacation with the homie dove. We was in florida And I made it my mission when I got back home to watch WrestleMania because I didn't really get to see it And then I wanted to check out nxt because everybody was talking about was the best night for wrestling that weekend It usually is and to see I hadn't heard crowds like that So excited I didn't know the characters the wrestlers like that and I was just I was amazed and from there I started checking out nxt on the regular because I'm like, this is this is what I need This is the fix I need, you know what I'm saying? So from there I watch every single takeover every single one from 2017 on to now to recently uh, um Last night that was the first last night was the first nxt takeover. I did not watch since 2017 and it's just It sucks. It really it really does suck So to not see those type of crowds during the nxt takeover like we used to It kind of doesn't hype me up to want to see them in the future and then To be honest with you I don't even care to get invested in any of these wrestlers anymore because they all end up getting released If it doesn't work out on the main roster They all end up getting released or they change their character or they change their gimmick to something that's super cringe on the main roster I can't care. I cannot care I know for a fact. Uh tomaso has said in the past. He will never go to the main roster. He'll he'll just retire He'll leave nxt And johnny gargano going to the main roster. You can that's career suicide He might as well go to aew bro Like the people that you care about and invest time into on nxt. It doesn't matter Because either vince is not gonna like what they got going on and gonna try to change their character or gimmick that worked in nxt They don't even give them a chance to really just really go with this person like It doesn't matter So what's the point of getting invested in these characters and wrestlers? If they're just going to get dropped anyway These last recent drop like the last recent releases with karen cross keith lee people that I was getting interested in Now that they're going I was like, all right. Well, fuck it. I don't I don't care no more So what's the point? That's another reason why I don't watch nxt because I don't care You can have someone great in nxt. Everyone's been telling me la night is fantastic. I haven't seen too much of them I'm like, that's cool but What are you gonna do when he gets to the main roster? Doesn't matter. He can be the greatest in nxt. You get to the main roster If you ain't got some type of protection backstage from vents, which no one does Realistically damn near then it doesn't matter. You're out of there out of there. You're done So I can't really get invested in the characters and the wrestlers because it's not guaranteed that they're going to be around for a while honestly with the culmination of all those things of nxt 2.0 reeking of vince mcmahon's cringe for me personally and And I I just I just I really don't care I just don't man And it sucks and I'm sure there's probably some good things on this new version of nxt, but I don't care I I just I don't I'm sorry, uh, I know y'all may be disappointed. I know a lot of you guys were asking me Yes, are you gonna watch? I if I didn't respond There's a good that was your answer. You know, I was actually out I was actually out and about having a good time enjoying myself because I was like, you know what? I'm not even going to sit here and I'm I heard some good things about the show, but overall I still don't care I don't I'm sorry That's just my personal standpoint on nxt. That is why I won't be watching Nxt like that unless you guys are really just flooding my inbox Like yo, you gotta check out nxt's nxt's been getting really good. Please check it out. Please check it out only then but outside of that I'm I'm not bro I'm be honest with y'all. I'm I'm kind of just over the whole nxt 2.0. This is just for me is It's the end of an error, man It's an end of wwe actually having some some creative ideas in developmental that Was getting Individuals over not to say that they still don't have it But I just feel like nxt 2.0 is literally Vince McMahon saying I can do this myself. I got this. I'm gonna you know what I'm saying I'm gonna make sure That I you know, we take this brand to the next level and it's not going to the next level I know there's been reports that people are not having fun Like the the wrestlers are not actually having fun like they used to on this new version of nxt I can I'm willing to bet That that's probably an accurate statement an accurate Um situation for these wrestlers They probably not is having as much fun as they were when triple h was running it It seemed like they was enjoying what they were doing and now it's just like I don't know man. I I just I just don't care. I'm sorry y'all So comment down below. Let me know if you guys did watch nxt war games Are you guys liking the new version of nxt 2.0? Do you guys prefer the old version of nxt? Do you even Watch nxt now. I really want to know and uh, you know kind of discuss in the comment section But for me, I'm done. I checked out Uh, yeah, nxt for me is it's a done deal But appreciate all love and support road to 70k. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all next one. Peace
