Films like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Matrix <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sixth Sense <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">were out<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and artists like Eminem and the Red Hot Chili Peppers topped the music charts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But another source of entertainment was blowing up at the time<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2060<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wrestling. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard of Dwayne <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Rock\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Johnson and \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stone Cold\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Steve Austin. They revolutionized the world of wrestling and paved the way for what it is today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My older brother, David, had the fortune of witnessing some of the greats like D-Generation X, the Undertaker and Kane. Luckily, in 2006, when I was seven years old, it was my turn. I remember watching wrestling with him in his room every Monday night. I was awed and entertained by everyone\u2019s favorite hated hero, John Cena.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first memory of him that I had was of him slamming Edge through a table and the crowd erupting with elation. Since then, I\u2019ve been watching wrestling. Yeah, I know what people say: \u201cHey bro you still watch that?\u201d or \u201cDude that\u2019s fake, grow out of it!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can make the same argument for cartoons and anime. They\u2019re both fake, but people still watch that. If you enjoy a show, you should be able to watch it without being judged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the last decade, I\u2019ve continued watching wrestling. Not only has it grown locally, but it\u2019s grown globally. Wrestling companies have expanded to England, Mexico, and Japan. The most popular wrestling company, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">World Wrestling Entertainment<\/span><\/a> has skyrocketed; its hottest thing is its developmental brand. In many people\u2019s opinions, it\u2019s superior to the main brand. It\u2019s called NXT. The brand debuted in 2010 and since 2014, Paul \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Triple H<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d Levesque has been the man in charge. The first NXT show I saw was a 2016 pay-per view titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NXT Takeover: Toronto. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I fell in love with the matches and the way the show itself was constructed. It is second to none.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have never been disappointed by any NXT show\/pay-per view event. It\u2019s currently taped at Full Sail University in Orlando but starting Sept. 18, it\u2019s going live on the USA Network.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People should take advantage of the opportunity to see a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/dash-ruiz-by-day-dash-maverick-by-night\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">unique fashion of wrestling<\/span><\/a>. You have a variety of high-flying, hard-hitting, and technical wrestling styles. NXT has plenty to offer and its top stars include Undisputed Era<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a ruthless four-person faction lead by NXT champion Adam Cole and his cronies <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bobby Fish, Kyle O&#8217;Reilly, and Roderick Strong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other characters include the North American champion, the Velveteen Dream, Johnny Gargano, the heart and soul of the brand who wrestles in the best matches, and Tomasso Ciampa, the sadistic and dangerous villain whose mission is to regain the NXT Championship he relinquished due to injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They also keep things fresh by signing new wrestlers from other brands\/promotions to augment their roster. It can be a familiar face to diehard fans or an up-and-coming talent. No matter what kind of style or wrestler you\u2019re interested in, I guarantee NXT has something for you. So if you haven\u2019t already, give it a shot. I guarantee it will be as potent as an Adam Cole superkick.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1999 was a big year in entertainment.
