Very repetitive and either they schooled the wrestlers on what to say or they just phoned it in and wrote very similar things for everyone to say.

In the middle of the book I realized it was just a massive ad for the WWE Network and NXT.

Which I think is annoying as someone that has the WWE Network and is an avid watcher of the product.

WWE doesn't need a book to sell people on NXT. Like they kept mentioning in the book, anyone can just google a match to see what all the hype is about.

On the business side of things it was fairly interesting but most things I already knew.

Interesting if you've never watched Raw or Smackdown before or want to watch NXT but don't have the Network yet, otherwise just get the network and see what all the hype is about. There's a reason there are free trials after all.

Now I'm weary to read the book on Women's wrestling I picked up. Here's to hoping it's not ultimately an ad to get women to work hard to be a WWE Superstar like this book was. ( )

Thanks to Goodreads and the publisher for a free copy of NXT!

To be honest, everything I know about wrestling, I learned from that one Bugs Bunny episode. So, you know, probably not the target audience here.

But I have to say, this is a compelling look at NXT -- a WWE brand and sort of reinvention of the sport. With a close look at the brand, from development through its success and larger-than-life personalities, this is a compelling resource on the past, present, and future of wrestling. ( )
