Crazy how good NXT was at one time under Triple H's leadership. I mean it really changed wrestling on a main stream level. It feels forgotten now, at least by me. I'll never forget NXT selling out arean's for Takeover's and those shows being absolutely nuts. Nakamura vs Zayn ... my lord.
I guess it wasn't "sustainable" not really prepping guys to work for Vince, at all. But still, it was a huge thing, and aside from some booking differences AEW isn't all that much different. All of these companies that are blooming in the last 5 years are pretty much extensions of ROH. Evolve and PWG were evolutions of ROH in ways, the talent went between all of those companies. And then that talent was hired for NXT, and then for AEW.
I can't really watch NXT right now they really need to tour.
