Connected? Yes. They share facilities and physically train wrestlers. Same thing? Absolutely not.

These are two separate entities. NXT locates its live events at the PC, NXT is the brand that has their roster training at the PC, just like Raw and Smackdown to train and rehab their roster talent. The PC Is a wrestling training facility, sports science and medical facility.

That's like saying all Cirque du Soleil training center in Montreal is the same thing as their Cirque shows. They're not.

Why is this so hard? Bad Faith is saying these are one and the same.
TBH you've kind of changed your argument.

You said this:

Quote:
NXT is about as developmental as Raw or Smackdown. Only trained professionals are allowed to work those TV shows. People even take their character work to NXT (Becky Lynch? Baron Corbin? Finn Balor? The list goes on).
Which was not true. NXT is 100% development and is not directly comparable to Raw or Smackdown in terms of how experienced or how skilled the wrestlers are. Sometimes main roster wrestlers will go back to NXT but that's generally to help with ratings, or to help with development (they tend to come back as Coaches/wrestlers).

In terms of Raw/Smackdown vs AEW to me this is the major difference.

When somebody gets hurt on Raw/Smackdown I feel like it's generally an accident or mistake.

When somebody gets hurt on AEW it's sometimes just an accident, but often it' s because they are being overly reckless.

And I think there is a big difference. Mistakes are going to happen in this industry, but being reckless should not be accepted.
