(As some of you may know) my love for wrestling died off a few years ago and even when I still had it there wasn't that much (as in I barley cared) but right now I'm going to try to get back into it starting with NXT but is there any advice that you guys have that can help me (I should note that I know NJPW is considered one of the best but I personally don't enjoy it as much as others)
As for the questions
1. Is NXT UK a different brand or is it just called that as a way to show that they're different than the normal side of NXT
2. What's the big deal about Keith Lee
3. How good is AEW and what are some problems it has
4. Why is the cruiserweight title on NXT now
5. Is AEW on some sort of streaming service or is it televised
6. What's your opinion on raw and smackdown (I should note that I did like the street profits)

1. Sadly I think NXT UK is getting canceled because so many of their wrestlers have been proven guilty for sexual assault cases and other stuff. But otherwise it was basically NXT with only UK wrestlers.
2. Keith Lee is just a big dude who can do flips and stuff like a cruiserweight. Nothing really bad about him just he’s a big dude who does flips.
3. AEW all depends on your taste. I guess one big problem they have right now is giving their titles to people like Chris Jericho and Cody which some people say it’s to give the owners the titles first but I think it’s to heighten the titles prestige before someone lower/lesser known gets to win it.
4. Honestly don’t know why the change was made but most of NXT has god Cruiserweights anyways.
5. It’s on TNT, their second show is free on YouTube called AEW Dark. I don’t know what streaming services actually show it.
6. I think raw and smackdowns are a hit or miss type of thing. Some weeks they can kill it and others it’s just terrible.

So NXT UK was kind of like a title just to let people know that they were UK wrestlers but they were still on NXT? 2. In your opinion is he overrated? 5. I'll give AEW a chance (a relatively lengthy one) and I'll probably share my opinion on it |

In your opinion is he overrated? 5. I'll give AEW a chance (a relatively lengthy one) and I'll probably share my opinion on it 1. Basically and they only had shows in the UK but I don’t think many people watched it unless you lived in the UK and even then I don’t think many people did. 2. I don’t think he’s overrated but I can see how some people might think he is. But I don’t think many people have disliked Keith Lee because of his athleticism. And he does put on good matches like his matches with Dominik Dijakovic or Damien Priest. 5. I usually watch AEW Dark but the thing is the matches are really short because its only like an hour to maybe an hour and a half, and they try having like I’d say 7-9 matches so usually matches only last less than 10 minutes but Dark is like an NXT where they have wrestlers picking up wins and loses. Basically just to build up more people and not trying to do it all on Dynamite. |

I know you already have an answer, but here's my two cents:
1. NXT UK is a different brand than NXT and can almost be seen as a feeder league for the American NXT. I wouldn't bother with it if I were you, as there isn't much effort put into the show and the best guys on the brand will eventually show up in NXT proper.
2. An athletic big guy with a ton of charisma. I personally think of him as the good guy version of Kevin Owens. He could be big in NXT, but will probably sink into the midcard once he gets promoted to the main roster
3. I personally think it's the most entertaining show out there at the moment. They try a lot of different things and not everything works, but you can tune in every wednesday and never quite know what you're going to get.
4. Because it wasn't getting time on the main roster. 205 Live is still a thing, but I don't really watch it. The champion shows up regularly on NXT and has the potential to be really interesting
5. It's televised, but if you live in a part of the world where it's not on TV like your old pal Niz you can always Paul Burchill it.
6. IMO Raw is currently the best show under the WWE umbrella. Drew is a likeable champion, Asuka is a highlight every week, Rollins does the best work of his career and Zelina Vega and MVP are establishing interesting factions. Smackdown is completely skippable if not for Miz & Morrisson

Also, NJPW is really good. They have a big PPV (Dominion) WITH AN AUDIENCE!!! tomorrow.
And once it's back and AEW and WWE don't really click you could also give MLW a try. I watched a few episodes before the pandemic hit and they have an interesting roster. I also hear good things about the NWA, although I've only seen bits and pieces of it.

it's always great to hear other options but do you have any other advice (surrounding the questions or not) |

I've also heard good things about NWA but I was never sure about how to watch it As for MLW I'll give it a try (is this televised or on some streaming Network) |

I heard the owner of JWA didn't use cameo to have a champions congratulate him on their first show |

Any other wrestlers in particular that I should watch from NXT and AEW (some of which I was already a fan of such as Santos Escobar, Isaiah Scott, the lucha brothers, Christopher Daniels, 3/4 of the undisputed era, Santana & Ortiz, johnny gargano, Finn balor, and jack Hagar)

Nah, he just asked on of his close, personal friends to say a few kind words. There's a guy on that roster that has the potential to be as big as Rock or Austin. Really one to look out for.

Those are all great. For AEW I would add Britt Baker, MJF, Brian Cage, Lance Archer and Best Friends to that list. For NXT I'd probably go with Breezango, who might be the most effortlessly entertaining people WWE has on their roster. They really dropped the ball with them after the Fashion Files ended.
