How is NXT so good...
while the main roster is so incredibly bad?

I'm inebriated but let me try to do it justice. A combination of old school / simple storytelling without the commentators trying to force the company's agenda down your through. While NXT TV isn't on the same level as the TakeOvers, the 1-hour runtime definitely helps.

1 hour show means you don’t have to shoehorn the entire roster onto every show.

Booking a 1 hour show for an audience that has specific tastes is much easier than 6 hours for a diverse audience with conflicting tastes

Let's not forget Triple H essentially has complete creative control of NXT. Definitely helps that it doesn't have gross Old Man McMahon stink all over it.

Destor stole my thunder.
They catering to a different audience. They aren't putting on a product for 8 year old Roman Reigns fan |

Mix of various reasons with the biggest of them not being creatively handcuffed to sudden whims of a single person.
Because they don't have a Vince-like person constantly changing things or wrecking havoc on long term plans, they are able to be more flexible with their booking and have no reason to be constantly fighting the audience to react in only the way they want. True that they are catering to a different audience but the same could be said for 205 Live and that was pretty terrible for long stretches of time because of Vince's antics and him wanting complete control over everything. |

Yeah but 205 and Raw are taped together, so it's a mix. If they had smaller venue, 205 exclusive shows the crowd would come off like NXT's. They are literally there to watch a bunch of cruiserweight do highspots.

Of course it would. They'd be appealing to a vast minority.

205 has great match quality, but the angles are generally only okay because the roster is paper thin.

It's 1-hour and booked for a niche audience. It's not good because of Triple H, lol.

not sure if Belair/Cross is a main event match because it's actually a main event, or I just buy whatever NXT feeds me.
