>Last time NXT had 1 million viewers was 505 days ago>Last time NXT had 900k viewers was 449 days ago
>>12965669What went wrong? I remember NXT being better than Raw a five years ago
>>12965669Yeah bro. In that time we've had a global pandemic that disproportionately kills the old and the fat. Wrestling fans stood no chance.
>>12965669>Last time OP had sex was...oh wait, you need to have sex first KWAB
>>12965675>I remember NXT being better than Raw a five years agoIt still is. I don't care what you think of NXT but RAW is the shittiest shit on the damn planet.
>>12965675It still is, but it’s basically been booked like Raw/SD ever since it went to USA.
>>12965675Became two hours long and Cole's reign of terror killed the show. Lee and Riddle felt like the next top NXT guys but they basically got skipped over and sent to the main roster to suffer. Kross is a boring shitter so now their only real top guy is Finn.
>>12965675NXT went live. Before they used to tape four 1 hour shows at a time. And with that you are basically forced into long term planning and consistency. Once they went live they could hotshot and book on the fly, leading to what we have now
>>12965696Not enough flips for ya?
>>12965696Probably is. I haven't watched a full Raw in years. Last week I was at a friend's house and he had turned it on and I saw Edge facing off against Roman Reigns.
>>12965708It wasn't Cole, it was that they ended his reign on a two-week build in a blatant example of counter-programming. That pretty much showed everybody that NXT wasn't about being a good show anymore, it was just about competing against AEW and poorly, at that.
When did NXT hit a million?
>>12965716that's smackdown
>>12965988
>>12966008
>>12966003Fuck. My memory is ass.
>>12965669Now do AEW, oh wait they haven’t hit a million this year
meds 26
>>12966026So we are going to pretend there aren't 20 threads right now about that very topic? Okay.
>>12966008>>12966013oh, it's two debut shows which aired completely competition free
>>12966008>>12966013Literally could've gone on Tuesdays and been doing this (or AT LEAST 800k and a .25ish) pretty much every week.
>>12965669How can they recover?
Lol
>>12965669bumpola fuck joshipedos
>>12965669BACK IN THE CAGE PAUL
>>12965708Almost like nxt was supposed to be a developmental show or something
>>12966086they'd be doing 1.5 million every week, because every nxt viewer would still watch but every aew viewer would also watch. the same couldn't be said about aew, they'd barely see a bump in their numbers.They've been running wednesdays at 5pm for years now though I can't see them moving any time soon.
>>12965669Who wants to watch D level guys who are just going to rehash the same shit when they get on the main show. They should turn NXT to a low budget old school show. Think ECW but without all the death matches.
>>12965675>>12965669NXTiny has always been a glorified indie fed and the guy in charge of it has a midcarder mentality thus it failed miserably.
>>12970331But enough about AEW...
>>12970331We’re talking about NXT, not APW
>>12970350They are the same. Tony Khan also has a jobber/career midcarder mentality and it shows.
