We have seen nXt for years as WWE switched the development program from OVW, which gave us Cena, Orton, Batista, and Brock Lesnar, to FCW. В Florida Championship Wrestling then got morphed into nXt which now comes from the Full Sail Arena.

In my opinion it is the single greatest thing in wrestling today. В В Although Lucha Underground and Global Force Wrestling are just a few competitors looking to change that. В For now however I must urge any wrestling fan to try the energetic next generation.

So far Rusev, The Wyatt Family, and The Shield have already changed the face of Raw, Smackdown, and even Wrestlemania.В All who have come from nXt and the funny part, nXt is even better now than it was with them!

So what follows are 5 reasons you have to watch nXt!

The Tag Team Division:

Yep Raw has had a fair chance at amazing tag team divisions. But alas they always get overlooked.В  So Usos and Ascension will have their dance for the belts and hopefully Cesaro and Kidd get a much deserved push, but the line of potential teams pulled apart continue.

No more Real Americans, no more Rybaxel, and soon no more Dust Brothers.

But at nXt Triple H is stewing some great teams.В  Take the former nXt Champs the Lucha Dragons!В  Sin Cara has his best and sometimes worst work at nXt and his partner Kalisto is the very definition of cool.

Murphy and Blake are bringing their best to hang, and the Vaudevillians bring a totally unique blend of technique and persona unlike anything WWE has done before.

Don’t forget Big Cass and Enzo who are over and also entirely unique.В  This is a tag team division that is growing and has an insane level of pure potential.

In fact if WWE 2k16 does not expand its nXt roster, I won’t even buy it in protest cause the tag team matches alone are more exciting than anything on Raw.

I mean admittedly the Usos vs The Wyatts was tremendous but with the Wyatt Family disassembled, nXt is left providing equal quality matches one a weekly basis.

The Diva Division:

I love AJ Lee, and Paige and Natalya from the WWE Divas, while the rest of sex appeal they flop nearly every time in the ring.В  I mean I am trying to exercise less criticism but every time I hear Brie Mode, I think that means Change the Channel.

Sorry D-Bry she is cute as a button but just as talented in the ring.

But what about nXt Divas… well that is money. I mean Charlotte is superior to many of her male counter parts, Natlya has stellar work there, Alex Bliss is awesome, Sasha banks is someone to love to hate but always respect, Bayley is unique and solid, and hell I even love Blue Pants… Yep dumbest song and gimmick ever and yet so dumb it is instantly endearing.

Watch Natalya vs Charlotte for the nXt Diva Championship on the WWE network and tell me that isn’t the best Diva WRESTLING match you have ever seen.

While they have a few lookers who don’t yet click in the ring, nXt Divas are the perfect mix of attractive and talented.

Oh and AJ Lee and Paige both have roots there too so if you aren’t getting the picture yet, stop wasting time on Divas and get your fill of nXt Divas today for only $9.99!

Phoenix Effect:

In ancient mythology the Phoenix was a bird of fire that would self resurrect and fly again.

Well at nXt Titus O’Neil, Tyson Kidd, and even Curtis Axel have returned to nXt to reignite their careers.

Now the man beast Rhino is back in WWE via nXt and the fans are on fire!

So how can you make the future of WWE even brighter, by adding the element of surprise when you take an underrated career like Rhino and give him the pheonix treatment to bring life back to a career.

Now not only do you have the best Diva Division, the best tag team divisions, and heart pounding action, but you never know who is gonna make their comeback?В  I F’n love nXt!

Wrestling Love:

Ok WWE is sports entertainment, you got it Vinny Mac!

But Triple H knows we love WRESTLING!В  And he means to give it to us!

For over a decade names like KENTA, El Generico, Pac, and Kevin Steen have dominated the internet as indy wrestling darlings.

Now they are Hideo Itami, Sami Zayn, Adrian Neville, Kevin Owens and they are all on nXt!

You want matches that redefine wrestling, well Raw and Smackdown have nuggets but nXt bleeds gold.

I mean look up Cesaro vs William Regal, or Cesaro vs Sami Zayne 2 out of 3 falls… or heck just Watch nXt on the WWE network just after the most recent Takeover: Rivals!

Seriously Adrian Neville and Kevin Owens had a breathtaking match, one of the beat nXt main events ever.

Sure nXt is not perfect, but it is becoming a real challenge to find flaws in the presentation, but it is damn near impossible to find a bad match on nXt.

If you love wrestling, you love nXt and if you don’t it is only because you just don’t know it yet!

Takeovers:

In WWE the main stage is Wrestlemania, then you get great shows mostly with Royal Rumble, Summerslam, and Survivor Series. В Everything else WWE does PPV wise is hit or miss.

Take Fastlane for example, I couldn’t care less about this show. В Get it free on WWE network, ok cause I wouldn’t buy it for $9.99 period.

Sting vs Triple H is the hook right, because there is no Lesnar defending.В  And who in their right mind predicts Cena as the new US champ over on Rusev? В No one, we know Sting vs Triple H is gonna be at Mania and this is just more build up.

Rusev will go one Undefeated to Mania, and so this whole PPV is Mania filler.

But would I pay the full six months up front for WWE to ensure I get the nXt Takeovers?В  As Austin once said “Hell ya!”

Everytime nXt gets to a Takeover Special it carries with it a Wrestlemania Energy every single time.В Presentation is flawless, intros are memorable, and the matches are jam packed with “watercooler” moments.

Every match matters, the job match matters, and the main events are so good you catch yourself so hyped up you watch the instant replay that comes on the WWE network when the live special goes off the air.

In closing I have been married for 12 years and if I could have an affair with nXt I would cause it is just that awesome.

So if you haven’t watched nXt yet think ECW meets WCW Nitro meets RAW and all three have a baby called nXt.В  It alone is worth WWE Network asking price, so get your free month of the network now!

Then go and watch nXt and you too will fall in love with Wrestling again!

В Tag Team Top 5 for the Week of April 21 ^st , 2014

В

1. Team IOU (Kerry Awful & Nick Iggy)- The NWA Southern Tag Team Champions get the record! Team IOU have now broken the record with 4 #1 rankings in the Tag Team Top 5. They do it on the strength of victories vs. Shooting Impact at NWA SAW on 4/18 and Frank Wyatt & Alexandre Rudolph on 4/19 at Beyond Wrestling. #2 in the online poll with 128 votes. В

2. The Hooligans (Devin & Mason Cutter)- The PGP and Zero-1 USA Tag Team Champions return to the Top 5 after going 2-0 over the weekend with wins vs. Alexandre Rudolph and Frank Wyatt at PGP on 4/19 and vs. Matt Cage and Mallaki Matthews at Beyond Wrestling on 4/20. They have won 9 of their last 11 matches. It was just announced that in July they will finally take on the Young Bucks. They're getting some great momentum heading into that match at St. Louis Anarchy. #4 in the online poll with 25 votes.

3. The Viking War Party (Alexandre Rudolph & Jake Parnell)- While they do operate under The Freebird Rule (Frank Wyatt being the 3 ^rd member of the Viking War Party), it's this unit that has been turning heads recently. The SNPW Tag Team Champions teamed with their 3rd member in Frank Wyatt at Beyond Wrestling's Sleeper Cell to defeat Jordynne Grace, JJ Garrett, and Mikey. They have now won 3 straight matches as a team.

4. Los Ben Dejos (Jay Rios & Jay Cruz)- The PWX Tag Team Champions returned to a very safe territory where they have dominated in recent months. Over the weekend they defeated Country Jacked (Corey Hollis & Adam Page) on 4/18 and The Worst Case Scenario and The Sin City Saints in a 3 Way on 4/19 to retain the titles. They have won 4 straight matches at PWX. If they can transfer some of that success to some of their upcoming shows in the Illinois area, they'll be a force to reckon with.

5. The Unholy Alliance (Mikey Whipwreck & Tajiri)- The Tag Team Top 5 took a trip down memory lane and got nostalgic this week as the two ECW greats defeated OI4K (Dave & Jake Crist) at 2CW on 4/18 and followed that up with a win vs. AR Fox and Rich Swann at 2CW on 4/19 to go 2-0 as a team on the weekend. We can only hope that we'll get to see more of them together in 2014. If not, it was fun while it lasted. #5 in the online poll with 15 votes.

Honorable Mention. The Normals (Buzz Bloodsaw & Chance Demas)- The People's Champs this week with 175 votes in the online poll after defeating Da House Party on 4/19 to retain the PWA Tag Team Titles.

Indy Power Rankings for the Week of April 21 ^st , 2014В В

1. Melvin Maximus -Finally "the Rodney Dangerfield of the Indy Power Rankings" gets his respect again! Oddly enough he gets voted in at #1 on a slower week where he only wrestled (and won) one match.  While there were certainly a lot of other worthy contenders, every single "official voter" had the OVW TV Champion at or near #1 on their ballot. It truly has been a "Marvelous" run for the champ after 31 straight wins.

2. Ricochet- Hard to believe he's not #1 this week after the run he's had, but clearly it's not over yet. He's still the DGUSA Open the Freedom Gate AND Dragon Gate Open the Dream Gate Champion. A 2-1 record over the weekend did very little to hurt his status in the Top 10. He is 19-1 in Japan in 2014 and 26-6 in his last 32 matches, overall. "The King" isn't dead…just sitting a little lower for the time being. #8 in the online poll.

3. Adam Cole- Amazingly, the ROH and PWG World Champion still has not reached the #1 spot in 2014. It's not that he isn't still a HUGE name…it's possibly that his win-loss record hasn't been as impressive as last year, BUT with that being said, he's now on a 5 match winning streak. Cole defeated Delirious at ROH Future of Honor 1 on 4/18 and Jimmy Jacobs and Mark Briscoe in a Non-Title 3 Way Elimination Match at ROH Second to None on 4/19. He is 9-3 in singles competition in 2014 and 11-7 overall. It seems that it would just take a string of weeks where he's actively competing for him to inevitably reached #1 again.

4. Jason Kincaid -The NWA Smoky Mountain Heavyweight Champion did what he had to do to get back in the Top 10 and he did it in an impressive fashion. He won the NWA Smoky Mountain Cup on 4/19 defeating Fred Yehi in the opening round, then moving on to defeat Sugar Dunkerton, Joe Black, Chris Richards, Zac Vincent, and NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Chase Owens in a 6 Way Elimination Final. Those are some impressive names to get through and as we state many times in this write-up, on another week he may have reached #1 had it not been for heavy competition all over the indies. Perhaps winning the NWA World Heavyweight Title with his future title shot could get him that elusive #1? He was #1 in the fan poll this week with 139 votes and he is People's Champ.

5. Shane Hollister -At the start of the year, "The Shug" was getting a ton of respect from the voters. Fast-forward to now and he's holding the AAW Heavyweight AND SCW Heavyweight Titles and yet he has not been able to climb the ladder each week. Why? Hard to say, but when AAW comes up again, that will be the ultimate test to see if he can jump up the Top 10 rankings once again. He defeated JJ Garrett at Mississippi Valley Wrestling on 4/19 to extend his run in the Indy Power Rankings.

6. Aaron Williams -The Rockstar Pro Champion has been noticeably absent from the Top 10 the last several weeks after a slight slump, but he's righted the ship and he's firing on all cylinders now. He defeated last week's #10 Benjamin Kimera and Gerome Phillips in a 3 Way Tag Team Match also involving Kyle Craven & Kyron. He also defeated last week's #8 Heidi Lovelace at TCW on 4/18. He has won 4 straight matches and with both the blessing (and the curse) of almost guaranteed weekly shows, he has many chances to climb to his first #1 ranking.

7. Michael Elgin -It seems like it's been forever since we saw the 2013 IPR 100 #1 hit the Top 10. It really hasn't been as long as it seems, but this week, he broke through again. "Unbreakable" once again proved to be just that as he defeated AJ Styles at ROH on 4/19 and then went to Beyond Wrestling where he defeated Zakk Sawyers, Christian Rose, and Matt Cage in a 4 Way on 4/20. Pretty impressive weekend for a guy who has been splitting his time between dominating in tags at AAW and being pretty successful in singles everywhere else.

8. Uhaa Nation- "The One Man Nation" went 2-1 over the weekend at Dragon Gate and despite the loss, he was still shown a lot of respect by the "official" voters this week. It's hard to argue with the numbers he has put up as he is the winner of 16 of his last 19 matches with a 27-13 record in 2014. The big man is still looking for his first #1 ranking, but at this point, with the type of record he has, it seems unlikely that he would not get that #1 spot at some point this year.

9. Vinny Marseglia- What a weekend for the TRP Heavyweight Champion as he successfully defended his title vs. Ryan Waters, but perhaps even more importantly, made a great impression at ROH with two big wins, teaming with Jimmy Nutts & Nick Blackwell to defeat Ken Phoenix, Sam Shields, & Tim Donst on 4/18, and then teaming with Jay Diesel & Moose to defeat Team Benchmark & Zizou Middoux on 4/19. Look for more big things from him for the rest of 2014.

10. Ivelisse- The SHINE Champion's week off last week may have cost her a higher spot in the rankings, but the official voters definitely remembered what she did 2 weeks ago. She has won 9 straight matches after her win vs. Saraya Knight at SHINE 18 on 4/19. It's been an impressive run for the champ. #10 in the online poll.

Honorable Mention. Barrett Brown- The ACW Hardcore Champion came just 16 votes shy (and it was much closer than that if you watched the poll for the last 30 minutes it was open) of becoming this week's People's Champion. 123 votes in the online poll.
