>>14978192>The current NXT show is hardly any different from 2.0I agree with this. What I'm saying is that people are only recently starting to rediscover the show and realizing it's actually pretty good, even though I think the show is a lot weaker right now than it was even earlier this year when you had the storyline with Melo and Trick, and you had Ilja and Dijak putting on banger matches every week.
>the word of mouth on 2.0 was positiveI haven't seen much of that. The people who watched it liked it, but I think among the hardcore wrestling fans, the name unfortunately still has a negative connotation. I would like that to change, but that's the way I see it.
What I really object to however is the antismark claim that 2.0 saved NXT and was so much better than B&G, and I'm sorry but you can't say that NXT was a bad show even in the final days of that era. I do remember the overall feeling of doom and gloom since the sheets were all reporting that Vince was going to radically alter the show, and they took Scarlett away from Kross for some reason. But other than those things, you still a consistently strong show that had exciting matches and well told stories.
