I’m all for Taya bypassing NXT....though, it that were to mean Vince putting her and Morrison in some shytty gimmick that does neither one a favor, I guess I’d rather Taya ply her trade down in the CWC first :francis:

I was gonna say just like Mike and Maria, though lowkey Mike Bennet’s ass really should’ve started in NXT :mjlol:

How in the world did Mike Bennett if all people bypass NXT? He’s a good talker by my goodness without Maria, you couldn’t identify him at all. Props to them duping the WWE for rehab and a payday though.

Maria probably said she won’t go up to the main roster without dude. :mjlol:

They could’ve easily build up a credible, maybe interesting character in Bennett, even with Maria in tow, down in NXT.

Fleece game from them two on WWE might not ever be duplicated :wow:

Taya looking good in that pic.

still don’t see why she wasn’t sent to RAW/SD

Taya and Toni Storm need to have a match over a Naughty America contract.

Proud for the black talent getting a shot

But I see what Taker and Stevie Ray and them saying. These nikkas look like dweebs and gynnasts

The locker room needs more cocaine

Its not just that. Dudes are victims of the loss of the territories/the lack of major promotions. The indies are a poor, poor replacement. If you check out old AWA and old WCCW at the Sportatorium even Smokey Mountain to a lesser degree those crowds were made up of families from grandma and grandpa all the way down. The only promotion that's left that approximates that is WWE.

There were different people there and you had to get over with different types of people so you had to work on your look to stand out, as a babyface you had to be able to sell to get sympathy from the women as a heel you had to do everything possible to piss off the guys. Now that's all gone, the only people who bother with the indies are the Meltzers of the world whose tastes have always been niche anyway (even by wrestling standards) and smarks amongst whom there's a giant contingent of retards whose barometer of quality is whether or not the picture they have of Vince in their heads would like something or allow guys to do it, if the answer is no then it must be good.

So you have guys coming up learning to work for this super niche audience because they're the only ones paying to see them and they need them to create a buzz so you end up with goofy 160lb main eventers and 300lb guys doing 450 splashes for no reason in Cirque du Soleil matches with "haha isn't wrestling stupid" spots in them because they're working to please trolls. That's where the disconnect happens you have guys who've spent their entire careers prioritizing shyt that the majority of people who actually watch wrestling now and the majority of people who have watched it at some point just don't give a shyt about.

Of course everyone jobs. Point is not everyone is gonna get TV time to actually shine.

Well she shined in a loss to Io, the champion. It wasn't some squash match. NXT does that more than not. The more established workers, Taya, etc. likely won't take long to get to TV.

Eli Drake - LA Knight is used every week.

Taya Valkyrie has no business being in the Performance Center.

Even comparing her to who she was in Lucha Underground is a disservice, and THAT wrestler would be wasting time in NXT.

Feels like more carny testing bullshyt.

Look at what they did to John Morrison... once Vince found out they were signing his wife he probably got excited with the amount of bullshyt he can put her through... at this point its not even Vince though.. we gotta blame the wrestlers for even signing.. what did EC3 think it was gonna be when he came back?
