If you subscribe to the WWE Network, then youve likely realized that one of the best parts of the service besides being able to watch December to Dismember as many times as you can stomach is NXT. The developmental territory is quickly becoming not just a proving ground for young up-and-coming talent, but also a seriously viable alternative for wrestling fans who tire of too much sports entertainment and not enough competition. Sure, theres a fair share of comedy and character development, but fans also get a briskly paced program with some of the superstars of tomorrow giving it their all as they work their way up to the majors. During Thursdays two-hour special event NXT Takeover: Fatal 4-Way, fans were treated to a PPV-quality event that delivered both in the ring and in storylines. It wasnt the blowaway show that the first two events were, but its now the third straight solid effort, which reinforces that NXT alone might be enough to justify the monthly $9.99 cost of the Network. At the very least, Fatal 4-Way gave fans their moneys worth. So, lets take a look at some of the top reasons why NXTs latest special event gave viewers enough bang for their buck.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fondly remembers watching WrestleMania III, IV, V and VI and Saturday Night's Main Event, came back to wrestling during the Attitude Era, and has been a consumer of sports entertainment since then. He's written for WhatCulture for more than a decade, establishing the Ups and Downs articles for WWE Raw and WWE PPVs/PLEs and composing pieces on a variety of topics.
