5 Things WWE Could Learn From NXT Takeover: Respect


5. The Wrong Decision Can Still Make For Great Moments

     Alright, so let’s all be frank about this: having the final match of the Dusty Rhodes Invitational be contested by two tag teams that, um, weren’t actually tag teams, was a bit disappointing. If the equivalent had happened on an episode of Raw, we’d all quite rightly be ripping into WWE for putting established singles stars over teams in need of a proper push. This is especially true of NXT right now, with contenders to The Vaudevillains in particularly short supply right now.
That said, we can allow NXT this uncharacteristic lapse of logic for two simple reasons: firstly, that both Finn and Joe are two universally loved and respected faces of the product (imagine if Roman Reigns and John Cena had flattened The Dudleys and The New Day?!), and secondly, Finn in particular has openly spoken of Dusty’s influence on him and NXT as a whole.
This tournament was, after all, in honour of the great man, and to see two respected guys show genuine emotion at standing alongside Dusty’s family was a great moment that did justice to the Hall Of Famer’s legacy.
So, WWE, remember: if you can justify it in the long run, you can actually ignore us smarks!
