It's a little weird that a wrestling company's developmental territory is so focused on Crossfit and general athletics rather than...wrestling. Especially when you consider how little homegrown talent they put out that's worth a shyt...like I'm sure Toni Sabbatelli killed these fitness drills but who cares when he's been in developmental for years and still sucks.
I think WWE has opened up to good wrestlers now as opposed to just finding talented athletes.

The key to this business is personality. You don't have to be a freak of nature.

I think his point is that maybe they should focus a bit more on the wrestling since that's what they will be doing in the ring and a lot of guys are still shyt at it after years in the developmental center.

And it's not like a lot of these guys have a standout personality either, so maybe being able to suplex someone isn't a luxury to teach them.

NXT Performance Centre might be the worst place to train as a wrestler. Don't get me wrong. It's a great facility, but that indy experience is so valuable.

former NFL player who has been chillin in nxt the last few years. he's had a few enhancement matches..he has the perfect look for TNA.

Speaking of NFL and TNA - I'm lowkey surprised that they didn't pull the Brinks truck up to De'Angelo Williams' crib. :ehh:

Outside of that one botched spot, he was dope in his match with Moose, a couple of days after learning how to bump. He could be a real problem with some good training.

From what i read nobody should sign to GFW off of their contract stipulations. Any wrestling related shyt u do outside of the company they want 10% of it

Signing with WWE is a pretty big gamble too. From what I see, it takes years for them to invest in you, if you're not a girl or have a big indie following. Then to add on, there was a report a couple years ago that the average Performance Center signees were making under 30K a year.

Most of the girls at the top of the combine we've seen on TV but most of the guys in the combine don't even have gimmicks yet outside of Montez and Jose.

If you want to make quick money right now, GFW or ROH are the way. If you want to gamble on yourself to make six figures in a couple years and get worldwide recognition, you sign with NXT.
