10 Reasons NXT Will Continue To Be WWE's Best Overall Product

10. Triple H Runs Creative

NXT is Triple H's creative brainchild. For the life-long old school wrestling fanatic that we know Triple H to be, the ability to play Dusty Rhodes, Eddie Graham, Bill Watts or Gary Hart on a weekly basis has to be the most fun. As well, to have a roster of fresh talent to mold and develop as he sees fit -- and oftentimes in the image of the territory era wrestling shows he grew up loving -- has to be exciting. Triple H operates in NXT without Kevin Dunn or Vince McMahon as a filter. As well, having around a wealth of talented wrestlers who have week-to-week territorial experience around him is a benefit, too. To see a WWE branded broadcast that doesn't bear the unmistakable feel of a show where either McMahon or Dunn is the final point of sign-off is fun. Remember that time in 2002 when Paul Heyman booked Smackdown? This is the only time since that era that WWE has likely ever had their audience excited by and positively questioning the creative direction of a product. That's wonderful.
