Don't feel bad breh, I ain't even know it was a school PERIOD. I just thought it was a fancy name for sum random wrestling fed/school they bought.

"Full Sail" is such a dumb name for a school.

I thought about going to Full Sail just to get a major in Music Production, but meh. Not liking the idea that the wrestlers in NXT not getting profit from their merchandise. So Naka pretty much got played off of that tip alone, unless his contract said otherwise

Its one of those For-Profit/Corporate ones, so usually they do snazzy names for marketing, "ITT Tech", "Univ. Of Phoenix", Etc.

NXT is supposed to be a Bootcamp. Its a system designed to weed out people, not focus on their merch.

You have to look at it from a business side, why give them a cut if they stand no chance of making the main roster and contribute?

While this is true, why not keep it that way rather than make it a legit promotion? It should have been booked how it was many years ago when it was FCW. The idea that it's suppose to be an entity of itself, rather than training grounds for up and coming wrestlers seems kind of gross. Especially the fact that non of those wrestlers are getting paid their dues.

I know its not my judgement of such things since I don't have a territory to run, but on the real it should have been ran like the "Power Plant". Nothing more, nothing less.

Its a big media school. I got an invite from there (tho I feel like everyone does) but it's so fukking expensive

NXT doesn't weed out anyone. They're overflowing with people. There are people who have stayed in NXT for years who aren't getting any closer to being main roster ready.

So those Revival fukks lied about making bank from merch sales

Hell, you have some of the main roster bytching about going to NXT, rather than sticking with the "Big leagues". There was an article a while back where the main roster actually were jealous of how NXT was run and how the roster got over with proper booking skills. Nothing boot camp about NXT at all.

I'm also pretty sure full sail is a scam school, fitting place for a WWE developmental brand tbh

Full Sail is a school for people who want to pay $30k a year to learn protools and shyt
