I really enjoyed this book. I love this comic concept of if the WWE matches were real. If the storyline in the WWE were executed as well as this they are in this comics I would probably still watch it.

The book is in 4 parts the. The first part is the Dream surveying the talent of NXT, the potential the roster has and where it could got.

The second story is stars Soma Joe, trying to climb his way up the NXT ladder.

The third is a return member of the original NXT roster, is looking for allies in their return to the big stage.

Finally a man who lives for the fight, get a call into the NXT roster. Even though he lives for the fight, not everyone fights alone.

All great stories, I am especially glad that managed to do the story with the Dream and fit ina a tribute as well. Definitely well earned and well done. I did not even know the characters in 3 of the stories and I liked them all. Just shows how well done they were.

This volume focused on the NXT brand of WWE. You had Dusty Rhodes in his role as coach, Paige when she was putting together her new stable, Samoa Joe on his quest for the NXT title, and finally Aleister Black in his early NXT appearances. I think I like NXT better than WWE itself most of the time so this series was a treat to me.

An interesting read. I enjoyed the Dusty Rhodes issue the most.

Cool how they incorporated actual storylines but also a useless book if you haven’t seen everyone of these matches.
