Yeah, I hadn't watched any NXT in quite some time, and the first thing that struck me was how the quality of the commentary team had dropped drastically. Nigel is not so good and Percy is pretty much useless. One of the things I liked most about NXT was how good the commentary was thanks to Phillips and Graves. Now, not so much. Really? I thought Nigel was great, especially on the pre show where he kept disagreeing with that curly haired guy. Percy Watson needs to be in the ring with his pink glasses and the gimmick he had in NXT Season 2.

Yes. To me, wrestling has to be believable. Al Snow put it perfectly in ROH Secrets of the Ring when he said something along the lines of... There is one story that both wrestlers absolutely need to be telling from the moment they step through the curtain until they go back through it... And that story is: That they are trying to win and also trying not to lose the match. Wrestling across the board from WWE to indies, to the internet darlings like NJPW and PWG, all I see is guys who don't look like they could beat anyone up taking turns letting the other person do moves to them. Whip someone into the ropes and I can clearly see that the guy being whipped is running on his own power. All that doesn't seem to matter to everyone watching wrestling these days. The Okada vs Omega reaction just kind of cemented it for me that I am in the twilight zone.. I just want to live in the wilderness and watch shoot style, ROH from 2003-2006, the 80s and early 90s WWF I grew up on and other good old wrestling that doesn't frustrate me..
