So I got around to the first episode of "NXT 2.0". The in ring product was fine for the most part. It was great at times. I am actually impressed that WWE manged to make the return of the developmental format work so well.
With that said, I absolutely hate the new look of NXT. The set looks like a 90's spin off of America's Funniest Home Videos. Ciampa standing in the entry way doing his crazy shtick in front of it looked ridiculous. Having the lights so far up on the crowd made it look like it had no energy at all.
I'll give it some time. But the decision to go completely opposite of the previous look of the show is abrasive.
