It's Official: WWE NXT 2.0 Already Sucks

They also arrive at Joe Gacy, who is essentially an outlet for Bruce Prichard to let these f*cking liberals have it. Gacy is a pro wrestling virtue signaller who exists to confirm that The Leftists only pretend to hold actual values to benefit their public avatar. Gacy contends that the ring is a safe space, but he's a massive hypocrite who beats people up when they don't expect it.

They arrive at bright colours - literally every colour that is bright - as part of a grabby marketing aesthetic. Do kids like colours? Well, they didn't like black and skulls, so they must want the opposite of that. Because it is that easy. The total lack of actual, substantial thought on literal display is fabulous, if you're into schadenfreude.

Cameron Grimes is looking for love, and to facilitate this getting of his hole was recently turned onto dating apps by Grayson Waller. Dating apps are what the kids are into. Perhaps he can do a TikTok dance, eat a tide pod or do whatever the f*ck it is that teenagers do to impress birds in 2021. Because that's what the show is now. Mostly.

When NXT 2.0 isn't desperately reaching for trending topics, it is splattered with the dim memories the boomers in charge have retained of the 1990s, when they last bothered to look beyond the bubble and out of a window.

What worked in the fabled, mythical "then"?
