Steve Austin recently took WWE RAW to task for the way their RAW programming is done in comparison to the NXT show. In fact, Austin went on to say he prefers the NXT product over RAW because of how dumbed down RAW seems to be written.
Via Steve Austin Show Podcast,
“It’s simple, it’s to the point,” Austin said of NXT. “It’s not dumbed down like Monday Night RAW. On Monday Night RAW it’s like they want to fill in every blank for you. It’s like wrestling for morons. They’ve overthought it.”- Steve Austin
You can understand that people watching RAW may skew younger than the NXT brand. RAW needs to explain things more clearly for the kids who may have trouble following the storylines as easily. Obviously, the NXT audience is probably older and with less time to fill they don’t spell it out as much Still, the words are a little strong especially with the Stone Cold Podcast returning to the WWE Network after RAW where Austin interviews Paul Heyman.
