What are your opinions on this?

Ehh. I like the way they do it now. I feel like with a monthly ppv-style show they're gonna need more time to build to these specials, which probably means they're gonna have to extend the hour shows to give each feud a decent build.

It could work, but it seems a step away from one of the things people love about NXT, which is that it leaves you wanting more.

4 specials a year would be great, you know? I don't want them to have monthly special shows, because they will not feel so special because of this.

Defo a 50/50 call. On one side seeing more guys get on the NXT live shows would be great but part of me feels if they HAD to make a change they should have just made the live special 3 hours rather than 2 and keep it at 4 a year. 12 a year just seems to take away NXT's uniqueness and could force them to fold on storylines quicker.

That's a bad move.

Part of what makes the specials so, uh, special, is that we don't get them as frequently.

And if they got locked into that formula of having to have all the titles defended on every Takeover, then everything will fold up quicker and they'll burn through everything and that will be bad.

Well this could turn out to be a bad move.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea. Sounds like they're trying to make it like they have on the main roster by having a PPV-type of Event a month. However, the problem I see with that is NXT only has an hour of TV time a week, so is that really going to be enough time to build up a big even each month? I'm not sure it will.
