I don’t 100% agree with the bit about NXT. NXT isn’t just a wrestling school it’s a finishing school.
Sami Zayn isn’t El Generico anymore and he found himself in NXT.
Nakamura needed time to learn English, become acusstomed to a new country, learn the rules of TV, how to engage an American audience, intro etc. in NXT.
They learn valuable things there.
AJ skipped NXT but it took him some time to adjust. When Big Show and Jericho came over, they needed time to adjust. Braun same thing.
NXT is finishing school. It gives them a primer for the MR. I think it’s very nessasary.
It’s not about Wins and Loses in NXT, it’s about getting accustomed to the travel, payroll, hierarchy, culture and expectations of the company. This shyt is a job for them.
Elias never won anything of note in NXT, and he’s one of the best things going today. Everything is case by case.
With exception of Tyler Breeze I really think every guy who came out of NXT is about where their level of potential is.
Apollo was terrible, always been bland and terrible, horrible promo, great physique and athletic. He’s a tag guy at best. They put him someone with personality.
Finn is a upper/midcarder. Bad booking aside, he’s clearly valued.
Baron Corbin goon utility guy. He’s like a warlord, haku, big boss man, type of wrestler. ThTs what he will always be and that’s okay.
Kevin Owens has had a great career so far, he got to head butt his fukking boss on live tv and won the feud.
Joe is booked viciously and I’m betting he will be who takes the title from AJ.
I think NXT does just fine.
