That's the point though. Get the Indy crowd behind a character and once he hits the main show, fairweather fans will eat that shut and you'll still have the core fan base behind them. Worked for Owen's and Zayn. Not everyone pans out though.

I think Cole will transition easy because he already had a huge following. Same with Drew and Almas. The rest are trash.

That's the wrong approach to take though. They should be developing these guys to be successful on the main roster, not just carry over their Indy status and hope for the best. I think you're right about Adam Cole having success like Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn on the main roster. I could see Almas sliding into the Alberto Del Rio role that Vince keeps trying to fill. I could see Johnny Gargano having success on the main roster too. But the other guys have no appeal whatsoever & will be doomed for failure like Tyler Breeze, Tye Dillingers, Ascension and Apollo Crews.

A white woman hasn't won the NXT Women's Championship since Charlotte in 2014. :leon:

You know Cokeboy has little hands in this besides bankrolling it :mjlol:

So bailey didn’t have the title in 2015? Or is she not white?

No chance this dude is destined for 205 live, authors of pain (despite how much I don’t like them) and sanity will have success on the main roster, maybe Adam cole but he won’t get past mid card tag teams status. Ember moon, drew, and Nikki cross will be big stars on the main roster as well. However I think the next nxt champ is a lister black

Brehs, Velveteen Dream is a star :wow:

Great match with Black, really wanted him to get the W, but great match nonetheless

I don’t really like Ember :manny: wanted Royce or Cross to win but I’m not mad.

Almas :gladbron:

Drew is too big to be selling so much as a face and flying around and shyt.

Undisputed Era is trash, I’m no size queen but all three of those dudes are so vanilla.

Dain and Alexander looked like stars tonight.

I would’ve wanted anyone but UE to win

Hero vs Lars was quick and fun :obama:

I don’t understand the praise this dude gets he is generic as fukk, don’t know why anyone cares about him. and I told y’all undisputed era was trash when they had that match at wrestle kingdom and everyone went for a piss break. People tried to say cause they were Americans having a match in Japan no, it’s cause they are average and ineed of an actual gimmick. They will be in nxt for a long time

Yeah... and truth be told, that's probably why they won. They need it more than the other two do. Sanity and AOP will likely be on the main roster much sooner than later, especially after last night.

Patrick Clark has a TON of potential, but that Velveteen Dream gimmick has no chance at all at being successful on a large stage on the main roster. I really hope he's able to evolve the character into something more.
Yeah, it stops at NXT. That will not be over on the main shows or get any real push. He'd be Rico status.

You're acting like Mr. All Up in the Video himself won't go down there and work as the champion :pachaha:

Why do you say this? The fans cheered him over Black and WWE has been looking for a Goldust replacement for years. I could easily see him being a bigger star on the main roster than NXT.

I'm Hard Like D-Block Readin The Book Of Enoch...
before i even start on the commentary can i inquire as to whether i'm too high&trippin but was that one referee fukkin orange..:mindblown::wtf::damn: dude is een more orange then Trump or Hulk Hogan&Macho Man in those old ass Slim Jim commercials:mjlol:

i always look forward to the big PPV's only because i know there will be a dope ass NXT show, they usually beat the 'Major League' show's by 75%,if you think different then Cokeboy has you brainwashed with the Big Money shows, you're a 'sports entertainer' ass lil posta,cause wrestling wise NXT usually destroys the main show..

with that said i actually like the card for SS,hopefully they pull off a dope ass double header so i don't waste all the party favors (drugs)i saved for the occasion..trill tales.

this is one of the best PPV's ever pulled off in history,fukk just this year, btw so ya'll don't assume i'm just a fanboy i actually never thought there would be an absolute(well,i didn't watch the women's match:francis:) classic PPV in WWE ever again,but this show made me feel like a kid again..

i hope they bring back War Games for good, that shyt twas just too dope to not make it a regular staple..

that Drew/Almas match twas a 4.5 star match, surprisingly that Tommy End/Velveen match twas dope as fidduck too,i didn't know Velveen had it in him..btw did he ever wrestle anywhere else before coming to NXT..? that Ohno/Lars Sullivan match was tight too,i wish it was longer dough..i was on the fence about Sullivan since he debuted but he won me over with this match,i think he has a good future,he can be the new Snitsky at least..:troll:

@Nigmund Freud my ahk,what do you think of my commentary sir..?
