The crowd puts everything over. NXT is hella annoying because of it. That, and the fact Trips fast tracks all his guys straight to the upper mid card is also getting annoying now.

There are things to like about it (less storylines, small setting, etc.) but the crowd kind of ruins the whole thing for me.
Some of that upper midcard to the WWE only ends with a Cena defeat and having to get credibility back unless your the Shield types...well Ambrose got brought down but they still depend on him to fill in for main events at times.

I heard they did fall off.

Sami being sacrificed for Owens was kinda :smh: I know people liked it at the time but it might be a mistake in the long run. Though they'll probably have a feud when he returns anyway just felt like he got destroyed for no reason. I know it was to help put over Owens as a beast but still good babyfaces don't come around often.

The idea was that Sami would get his win back but his injury stopped the feud from continuing.

Nah Emma was ready, they put her with Santino :beli:
Ascension look was changed and were given promos to say they were better than legends, then commentary proceeds to bury them as such :beli:

it was deliberate sabotage
naw she was decent in the ring, but that gimmick was never going to work...
Ascension was :trash: in nxt, and was exposed on the main roster
Those dudes deserved to be buried

What You Will Never Be.
ive seen the matches but the moves just arent interesting at all

slingblade?:francis: coup de grace? :francis:

does he do anything that requires lifting?:flabbynsick:

then further that, i have yet to see him talk about anything remotely meaningful. Maybe im just waiting for that "wow" moment but it hasnt happened for me yet

I'll give you that, the top rope stomp is Low-Ki's shyt.

ha, fukk all that lifting, though, wrestling is all 'bout longevity...

I personally just like the name and the paint shyt, :salute:that Venom shyt.

He can always come up with a big move when he gets called up, that's why it's called DE-VEL-OP-MENTAL...

Develop your mind, nikka...

balor(prince devitt) has been around alot longer than alot of the guys on NXT hes no beginner

ive heard of his feuds on NJPW and hes got a big following from that, ive yet to see anything to warrant it yet though

but yeah no hes no "developmental" talent. Dudes been at it for like 10 years breh

EDIT: hes the guy that founded bullet club in NJPW and that was pretty sick, but they got away with using WWE moves/mannerisms/characters overseas that he cant here im guessing

:mjcry: if you aren't Kliqd up you're just a glorified job guy at that point. Ambrose can't buy a win.

Naw man bo dallas, and Emma, ascension, were not ready to be on the main roster, they are just there cause of their mega push in nxt.. I think thats why they havent called up that prince pretty dude, they know he will fail..

.
This is why the crowd has to stop putting everything over. It gives WWE a deludded idea of where the character is going, then they just flop on the main roster and become job guys (upper or lower midcard depending on how much the Kliq likes you.)

Yea, its funny how as of lately none of the talent that as came up has been completely homegrown.. WWE just doesnt know how to let characters evolve from scratch.. I think the problem is they force gimmicks on people instead of letting them become an extension of their character, they also have too many rules as to what you cant do.. The indy guys are aloowed to rise to the top doing pretty much anything they want all wwe does is trim the fat.


its not just lately. its always been like that.

the only era when the wwe mostly relied on homegrown talent is the dark-ages that we're coming out of(cena/orton/etc)

everything else was just the wwf putting their stamp on mostly already established stars.

NXT might have fell off a little bit due to injuries and KO and others leaving but it's still >>>>>>>>> WWE and other indies

Kevin Owens or ANYBODY else but Finn


Finn is NXT's John Cena as far touring goes, turning him would be stupid beyond measures
Owens already said several times it wasn't him though and he didn't benefit at all from it
