Stone Cold Steve Austin has never been one to shy away from giving his opinion on WWE and hasĀ often been vocal about how the company could improveĀ its product.
He was recently joined by former WWE Superstar Sean Waltman, better known as X-Pac on his Steve Austin Show. During the show both discussed NXT and why they feel it is better than Raw and SmackDown Live. Austin felt the show was a throwback to a more classic pro-wrestling product and felt the main shows tend to get very complicated with regards to story telling.
āThe thing I like about theĀ NXTĀ thing is itās almost like [Waltman] said, the main roster is almost trying to cover or cater to everybody. And to me, theĀ NXTĀ thing is more⦠they are both under the same umbrella, itās WWE, itās sports entertainment. It aināt pro wrestling anymore. Now, itās sports entertainment officially, but in my mind, itās still pro wrestling. And to me, NXT, yeah, itās kind of like a throwback. And itās all modern stuff, great lighting, great production values, everything else, but the storylines are very easy to understand and very simple. And, I mean, the announcers arenāt trying to go overboard trying to explain whateverās going on.ā Austin added, āsometimes when I watch the main roster stuff, itās like theyāre trying to play to so many people that the storylines get kind of convoluted.ā
