I haven't watched more than a YouTube highlight video or two so I can't really comment on the show overall but I HATE that new logo. I’m convinced the whole look is to match Bron Breaker’s gear and that everything they’re doing w 2.0 is designed to get him over (which he is). Dude is the best young talent on TV. Once he moves on I bet they change the logo again. That feels oddly accurate. |

OMG.... Once the best of the brands, NXT is now clownish gimmick heaven in a rave. Gacey, Chase, D'Angelo and on and on... Is it 1988 again...? I didn't like the circus then and I don't like it now. All we're missing is Duke the Dumpster Drosey.

I can't even watch anymore, WWE of any kind. Shame, because they have some great talent on their roster. Some of my favorites. What the company does is just not my cup of tea!? 🤷

I can't even watch anymore, WWE of any kind. I’m thankful I grew up during the peak of wrestling. The garbage we are getting now from every direction is embarrassing. |

Watching the 80s stuff on YouTube just reminds me that the moves may be more fun but the heart and soul are long gone.

I have seen a lot of stupid stipulations but "winner gets to spin the wheel" might take the cake. It would have made some sense if more than one wheel to pick from or if you could exchange options of the wheel. But just spinning is corny as hell.

I watched the episode after Halloween Havoc. Some thoughts of mine.
- They have a wrestler with a skateboard. That can be hit and miss. It is kinda cool when Darby uses it in AEW. It was kinda dorky when Mark Andrews used it before that in Impact.
- I hate when they make refs look stupid. This is for all wrestling not just NXT. Dakota Kai had placed a table on her downed opponent ring side and threatened to jump on it. The ref, instead of oh I do not know maybe MOVING the table, just pleaded her not to do it.
- Now that Swinger's Palace has closed it seems a new unlicensed casino has opened up. But it only has Texas Hold'em. Also no Swingerettas. LAME!!!
- MSK has a funny segment but then they show they crossing the street with a No Walk sign lite. Shame, shame.
- A wrestler with what looked like fishnet stockings. An odd choice...for a MALE wrestler.
- During an opening segment fight it seems they did not want us to know what was happening. They kept shaking the cameras and changing from one shot to another. I call this camera work that does not let us know what is going on the "WWE Creative Experience".
All of that being said it was still entertaining and better than the last time I tried to watch a Raw. So 2.0 is still the A show to me.

NXT has gone from the best wrestling show on, to now unwatchable.
Stupid story segments, even stupider character gimmicks - guys not ready for TV but winning - all in a psychedelic rave.

Yeah, War Games was sort of stupid, very underwhelming to me. Same with MLW's War Chamber match, which was better than NXT, but still lacking.
Are promotions trying too hard here?

It was great to see Zoey Stark (aka Lacey Ryan from FSW in Las Vegas who has a CWFH card as she signed the release form) make her surprise return from injury on NXT 2.0 tonight and become the new #1 contender to WWE NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose! I hope Zoey wins the championship!
