When you have Triple H coming out and talking about it being the "third brand" it's kind of hard to then go back and tell people "accept bad performances".
I'd bet they are more than happy with performers having to withstand that kind of pressure specifically BECAUSE it's developmental and you want your dudes and dudettes to be capable of handling whatever the audience can throw at them once they get to the big stage, which is a really tough thing to teach in the abstract.
I'd like this only if they wedge it into storyline. Like NXT invading Smackdown or something. Give people a reason to watch Smackdown.
I mean it's not the main event.

They aren't running a Barclays Center show with only the main event are they? The entire brand is being pushed as a big deal, and they are by no means tempering expectations. If I get sold on a 5-star restaurant, I shouldn't have to accept 2-star appetizers.
Yep, that's a big problem.
If you stay in Florida in front of a non paying audience you can just dismiss their non understanding as a sense of false entitlement.
If you're basically running the second biggest promotion in the US and billing a big show, well, tough luck trying to play the false entitlement card. You can try running this tightrope but you have to basically relegate your developmental people to dark matches/keep them in Florida the whole time.

Friends, I saw Trainwreck, and I'm here to report that John Cena's ass got what's known in the business as "the biggest pop of the night."

There's a reason that the program is tiered the way it is, between purely training level, house show-only level/getting jobber placement on TV and then becoming a regular TV roster member.. By the time someone makes it to NXT TV, they're considered prepared beyond a fresh trainee, even if they often have a ways to go still.

Neither had a personality, but that's due with booking.
Davey in that run was so incredibly young. Just 23 or 24 entering in that time frame. He has spoke largely before about how he was restricted from having an expansive moveset and doing a variation of suplexes. So surely that didn't help any.
Ooh, it's midnight already!
hahaha amazing`
I do enjoy how the guy with a theme song that tells us to "say it to his face" consistently goes on Twitter to whine about people.

Liger in NXT and Freckle is back? If this is the kind of thing that happens while I'm asleep, I should do that more often

Get back t'bed ya'little scrotum!
So it's bath time tonight and my two adorable nephews have finally got around to naming the giant rubber ducky they have. I'm chilling out in the other room with the dog when I hear, clear as a bell, the name they've chosen. Uncle Quacker.
I'm sure you can guess the first thing that popped into my head.

Lana's "new" look:

Not a fan. Maybe this is a secret way of turning Ziggler heel.

Lana letting her hair down should have been a Wrestlemania angle goddamnit!

He appeared on Parks & Rec.
He's in Trainwreck.
And he's in Sisters.
I think Cena is hanging with the right crowd if he wants to get into film. Kudos to his agent.

Do NXT tickets usually sell out pretty fast? I want to know if I should be camping the site.

Yes, another convert after Sunny Mac. I've been spreading the word among my non-wrestling friends.
Finished a marathon watch of Parks and Rec a few weeks back and the John Cena cameo on Johnny Karate had me rolling.
He seems to have a natural goofball side so breaking in via comedy is the smart play and establishing himself as the Funny Super Jacked Bro Dude for the A-list comedy crowd in Hollywood can guarantee he has a number of typecast roles waiting before he tries for larger parts.
B-tier Rock-in-Be-Cool stuff. Good look for John.
We're 5 years away from Rocky pulling Cena into Fast and Furious X for a beautiful torch-passing moment.
