They all now officially have "contracts" and it's just WWECW 2.0 now, in which it's a bunch of young talent. It's gonna officially become WWE's official developmental soon, as FCW taped its last episodes.
Your opinion on something you don't watch is worthless. Just so you know.
Which really surprises me that the storylines were cancelled. I thought Vince loved soap operas? NXT was essentially to WWE what daytime soaps are to television. Simple, cheesy, dramatic stories that often times went over the top, but were memorable. It was the perfect mesh of soaps and wrestling. It was awesome for a viewer like me who loves storylines and new characters. Everyone had a little unique character quality that made them stick out. Johnny Curtis's creepy character was fantastic, especially with the psycho Maxine. The NXT Security fighting the face authority was different from the face fighting heel authority that we've seen for years and years, even to this day. The whodunit angle with Watson, McGillicutty, Kidd, Bateman, and Riley was interesting too as it could have gone many routes.
I think the main problem is that the storylines were happening just two weeks ago...
I don't have that much confidence. I'm sure the first four episodes will be decent since WWE is trying to sell it to networks, but once the creative team has to focus on Raw and only Raw, it will decline fast. WWE is not going to invest in NXT. They can't even invest properly in Smackdown.
FCW is typically pretty good, so I'm hopeful that new NXT will at least be at that level. I'm certainly not expecting it to be as great as the last six months of NXT: Redemption were, but I anticipate still enjoying it more than Raw (which is pretty bad for the most part these days). The shows Vince doesn't care about tend to be more entertaining than the one (Raw) he puts most of his eggs into.
