WWE star Johnny Gargano says you are flat out “STUPID” if you think NXT is inferior to Raw and SmackDown … telling TMZ Sports it’s the best wrestling show in the world!!!
We talked to Gargano — one of NXT’s biggest stars — earlier this week … and JG had a message for all the people who sleep on his brand.
“That’s BS. That’s complete garbage, and it’s something that me and a lot of guys have worked to dispel for a very long time,” Gargano told us.
“Anybody out there that uses the words ‘main roster’ when talking about Raw and SmackDown, how about you watch the show on Wednesday night. You’ll see the real main roster. You’ll see the best wrestling show on the planet. You will see the best locker room on the planet led by me.”
NXT was launched 10 years ago, and started out as a place for WWE to develop talent. However, NXT now has a TV deal, and a bunch of their wrestlers have become massive stars.
In fact, during last weeks NXT Takeover: Portland — a big PPV event — Gargano betrayed his friend and tag team partner, Tommaso Ciampa … and cost him the title.
It was big news in the pro wrestling world.
In closing, Gargano has a message for anyone who thinks NXT ain’t every bit as good as WWE’s other brands.
“‘Main roster,’ ‘developmental,’ you’re stupid if you use those words. You’re stupid! Quit it!”
