Development Hell: The NXT Story
Development The NXT Story, penned by former Power Slam scribe and WhatCulture.com’s own Michael Sidgwick, chronicles the history of WWE’s NXT brand.
NXT has drew universal critical acclaim for its fan service fusion of old-school booking philosophies and progressive body of in-ring work - but the road to critical acclaim was arduous. When WWE destroyed its territorial and mainstream competition, the monolith had also annihilated the talent pool. Replenishing it was an unenviable task made all the more difficult by a blasé and counterproductive attitude and a curiously myopic direction.
All of which is documented in a book covering the inauspicious beginnings of the dusty Stamford Farm warehouse and the murmurings of Memphis Power Pro, the halcyon days of Ohio Valley Wrestling, the infamous disaster of Deep South Wrestling and the literal lunacy that was Florida Championship Wrestling.
The roots of the triumph that was NXT were toxic…

Also was der Autor hiermit erreichen wollte, ist mir schleierhaft. Um die Development Ligen geht es häufig sehr kurz, bevor er wieder in ein "schaut mal, was ich alles weiß" übergeht. Er hält sich auf in Erzählungen von Matchverläufen, die mit dem Thema nichts zu tun haben. Ich glaube einfach, das Wissen über die Entwicklungsligen wäre dann doch eher knapp, daher füllt man es mit Randthemen, die alle keinerlei Zusammenhänge haben. Hat dies niemand gegen gelesen bevor es erschienen ist?
