Her and Embers In ring chemistry was *Chief’s Kiss* Perfect, Io and Candice got close. But never topped Asuka and Ember’s chemistry not saying their bad cuz Io and Candice also had five star matches.
In my opinion, 2018 and 2019 were the best years for the NXT brand. It didn't feel like a developmental brand. It genuinely felt like a third brand. The ring work was top notch and the storytelling was brilliant. NXT 2.0 focuses more on character development, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
@@randellhowardiv8168 exactly, its hard to look at NXT now as just nxt again. Its rlly difficult to try and just go back to the nxt we knew and loved after that very rough spot where Vince Mcmahon took hold of the reigns and destroyed everything everyone loved abt it (in natural Vince McMahon fashion) and now i dont know what to feel abt it but i hope triple h can bring that IT factor back to the brand

Words cannot describe just how special this era was for us fans. NXT truly had something the main roster was lacking at the time, passion. Everything that was shown, such as storylines, characters, the wrestling, promos, the crowd reactions, everything was nearly perfect. For me and my brother, it was NXT that brought back our passion for wrestling as it gave us so much nostalgia and vibes from our favorite era, Ruthless Aggression. We got some of our most fondest memories during this time, especially from 2016-2020. Truly good times. Absolutely fantastic work on this nostalgic documentary, homie, you nailed it with this one.👍😭
You can't call the first 10 years of something the golden era when it's not much older. That's like having a 5 year old kid and saying these first 5 years were the best
NXT made me come back to wrestling after a while of being lapsed because of the sameness of main roster. NXT TakeOver would always be such a hype night with genuinely some of the best matches I've ever seen. I miss it so much.
going to those Full Sail shows are some of my favorite memories ever. Such a raw atmosphere. I’ll hold the Black and Gold close to my heart forever man, what a special era
I still never forget Sami Zayn what he did in 2013-2014 that version of sami zayn is my favorite version of Sami Zayn, I hope Triple H brings that Sami Zayn back.
Black and Gold forever 🖤💛 NXT ignited my love for pro wrestling, I used to woke up at 4 am to watch Takeovers ! Just finished rewatching Dijak vs Lee at Takeover Portland holy shit ! Two big men doing things I can't even imagine. WTF did Vince did to Dijak hiding him in a mask.
Easily the best TV weakly of the 2010s, NXT was always the thing to watch during the dark period of WWE. The matches were amazing, the feuds were amazing, the PPVs quality were amazing. NXT was amazing as a whole.
What do you mean? All over them did well, but as soon as they went to WWE (Vince's control), they all failed. It wasn't their fault. Now with Hunter running WWE, look at how good WWE is now!
Vince McMahon was the blame for those amazing talents. It is such a relief that he retired. Triple H being the head of creative for the main roster, Stephanie being the new CEO of the company and Shawn Michaels is now running and booking new talent on NXT. I hope 2023 goes back on track to where we can hopefully enjoy the product once again.
As a little kid during the Hulkamania era, and a teen during the attitude Era, I have to say that NXT has been my favorite thing ever in wrestling! I have truly been spoiled as a wrestling fan during nxt's heyday. Thank you Triple H!
Nakamura debut slowly led to a transition to making NXT feel like a third brand, but I think the definitive moment was the DIY break up… I watch every PPV match with DIY involved from 2016-2019 and it is one of the greatest story in wrestling history On a side note, if you haven’t checked out NXT right now, it is worth your time, it is super good now, NXT battleground is a stacked card
This video truly brought a tear to my eye. Black and Gold was special. But a lot of what made Black and Gold magical is being translated into today's product, so while it hurts that we no longer have that era of NXT, its essence runs deep within the veins of today's WWE, and I'm loving being a fan today. One memory I'll always cherish was being at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia. What a show!!!
For obvious reasons, 2020 and 2021 were rough years for the brand, but I would've liked for them to at least try one or two TakeOvers in the thunder dome. It would've been a refreshing visual, which could've helped the brand feel alive again, but I digress. Hopefully we get TakeOvers again in 2023.
We were so spoilt of how amazing this era was. I still watch NXT and enjoy it but this was just our go to place when RAW and Smackdown was just horrific and painful to watch
Wow! Thanks for making this. Ive heard of NXT but I no idea how big they were in the late 2010's with all those Takeovers. I only started watching in 2019 and had no idea about all the great history. Thank you once again!
Seeing this brings up so many great memories. Beeing the only guy at school who watches wrestling and always looking forward to the nxt takeovers even weeks/months in advance, beeing completely invested in what they showed every wednesday. Truly the greatest time of my childhood. R.I.P. Black and Gold and thank you Tripple H.
I went from not knowing what NXT was around Wrestlemania 33… slowly but surely I would see wrestling highlights and became intrigued with this company with a black mat and gold ropes… took me some time to find the logo on the turnbuckle… after that the rest was history… NXT became my favorite wrestling show to watch every Wednesday then every Tuesday and once 2.0 came it was never the same. So much Lightning was caught into a bottle. From Undisputed Era, to Bobby Roode, to WarGames, just so much greatness for something that was treated as a developmental brand.
This type of content is actually amazing! I loved every moment of this video. this is why I keep coming back. You never fail to impress me with the amount of work you put into these videos. Keep it up!
I didn’t watch nxt much from 2012-2015. But the second half of 2015-2020 nxt was amazing. The takeover shows were always better than the main roster ppv the next night
NXT made me love wrestling again and introduced me to lots of talent i never heard of before and got me interested in the indie circuit. I will always regret not watching the program the first couple years or not subscribe to the network to watch
So many incredible memories that its easy to forget or overlook a lot of them, its crazy the amount of greatness in a such a short period of time. Never thought one day I would be proudly saying that I was able to experience prime NXT. I wish we all knew back then that history was being made in front of our eyes with black and gold NXT.
man i miss black and gold brand, that brand re-ignite my fire for WWE again. their theme slipknot's " all out life " was magical and one lyric screams what NXT is " WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND " that empasize on how different it is from the main roster and how amazing they are
There are three versions of NXT: Game Show, Black & Gold, 2.0 Developmental. I honestly love each version but the Black & Gold/Indie Era is by ar the best. reason of NXT is basically the best show on WWE programming
I love NXT. I miss those old days. The 2.0 was terrible. The gold and white brand today is ok. It's just find but it'd nothing like we got back in like 2017 or 2019 etc. I miss Takeovers, I miss those stars and NXT just isn't the same. It truly was an answer to main roster wrestling. I hope one day we can get that kind of nastolga back
My favorite era in wrestling. 2015-2019 NXT along with the rise in NJPW and creation of AEW from 2017-2019 made for such a special time in terms of match quality, storytelling, and crossover feeling prior to the pandemic.
One thing very underrated that will always resonate with NXT gold was CFO$, say what you want but i really really love their work they literally made every wrestler look like a megastar with their unique themes
No mention of Enzo & Cass makes this video S-A-W-F-T SAAAAAWFT! For real, thanks for the bringing up some great memories. Instead of making the 100th version of the documentary on the NWO, WWE should be making docs on NXT rivalries, history and characters.
I started watching NXT during Bo Dallas’s title reign. For me, the biggest debuts were Samoa Joe and Asuka. The very first TNA PPV I ever got was Samoa Joe’s first TNA match and I bought the PPV just to see him wrestle AJ Styles. Seeing him squandered in TNA was heartbreaking. And Asuka was already my favorite female wrestler of all time at that point. I discovered her in like 2009 or 2010 when she was KANA in Japan and I watched everything I could find of her. She was just next level. So when she debuted in NXT, I freaked out.
While i wasn't that invested on alot of the guys during this era, i cant deny that their PPV work was truly top tier..arguably the best in the biz when it comes to that department imo
I just got back into Wrestling after the 2024 Rumble after watching thru the early ruthless aggression era. This is a great recap for those of us that haven’t watched anything in decades.
Thank you for this amazing video brother. I had stopped watching all of pro wrestling and completely missed black and gold. This was highly educational.
I haven’t watched WWE in a long time, then I heard about NXT and the 1 match that brought me back to wrestling was American Alpha vs The Rivival and The Rivival became my favorite tag team due to they reminded me of Arn and Tully Blanchard
I know how popular 2018 & 2019 NXT is amongst everyone, but personally to me, NXT has not been quite the same since the Sami/Bayley era. That place felt like genuine magic when they were around, it's not quite felt the same since then.
Man Great video and to how much NXT resonated, i still remember every single thing that went tru, I'm sad that i had stopped watching about 2 years ago now and its been hard to go back and connect with it. But that's wrestling in gerenal bit by bit I'm watching all the other shows like i normally would, thanks in part to Triple H. Nxt was special
I still remember waiting for NXT every week instead of Raw or Smackdown, even the TakeOvers were even better (mostly because Mauro on the commentary table)
What an amazing video you put together of the Golden years of NXT. I really miss the magical moments of NXT. The newer version isn't that bad but nothing can compare to that of those awesome years prior to 2.0.
I think the best part of the Gargano/Ciampa story is that early part where they are pitted against each other in the Cruiserweight Classic. The end of that match was a great moment and the one I thought about when Ciampa turned on Johnny.

You got your wish, hope it pans out
Triple H only has one track mind booking though, unless it's interferences bringing back released personnel can only save you so long.

O my God just wow amazing keep it up bro . More please everyday 👍

i'd say watch the takeovers. but if you wanna watch the weekly shows start in October of 2019 to about February of 2020 that's when it was fantastic
Loved NXT B&G but 2.0 is a super fun show. Glad it went in a new direction
