#3 You don’t need gimmick matches to capture a fan’s heart
One of the greatest revelations that NXT has brought forth is that you don’t need gimmick matches to capture a fan’s heart. The major portion of complaints about WWE we are hearing now are – the product has gone soft, there is no edge to the product anymore, WWE should bring back blood and various stuffs along this line.
But NXT has proved it wrong. There have been two or three ladder matches, on cage match (that too recently) and few other gimmick matches in the whole history of NXT. But, has it hurt the product? No.
NXT is also governed by the same rules and restrictions that tie the hands of WWE, but how can it not have such complaints? The answer is simple.
There is no substitute for a good wrestling match for a fan. Let’s face it, we all are at the most basic level a wrestling fan. That is why we watch the product. If WWE can deliver matches like Nakamura vs Zayn, Joe vs Balor, Bayley vs Sasha, we wouldn’t miss blood that much, will we? (Given that there is always a primal part of us that would like to watch bloody matches when they occur)
