That Aew spanking and them 700,000 ratings got Vince piss

Maybe I over estimate VKM's pettiness but I think this is a major part of it. They're "minor league" in his eyes and the Wednesday Night Wars only reaffirmed this.

Is there one NXT star in the last 5 years he has really gotten behind?

Drew, but he was once his golden boy already so not quite the same. Perhaps KO, but that took forever. It seemed like Finn at one point but then we got all that "he's not over enough" talk. The list of guys who were huge deals in NXT only to be mismanaged on the main roster, however, is endless.

When I think of the big pushes in the last few years of "new" guys, a lot of them are guys (Bobby, Braun) who bypassed NXT all together

That shyt probably costs him money where Raw/SD make him money, I doubt he hates it but he more than likely sees it as OVW/FCW and not a third brand.

And that Karrion Kross nikka is the most generic Nathan Jones lookin motherfukker, why the fukk would he go over Jeff Hardy?

Bianca :dwillhuh:

But I get it you want to only mention the guys.

Riddle has already been pushed better on main then he was on NXT.

We will see if he goes further up the card in the future.

I watched 2 matches from dude. I don't see it with him.

Feigned heel facial expressions, weird outfit, height says 6'4,but he looks much shorter and then I saw ppl saying he's racist.

I'm sure this loss is a set up for more, but I don't see it with him being a future world champ

There's a laundry list of people who spent time at NXT and got significant pushes on the main roster - from The Shield, The Horsewomen, KO, Sami, Drew, Bianca, Nak, Finn, Neville, Asuka, etc

The negative optics come from Vince having no issue immediately throwing them in the mud and/or putting them through long stretches of irrelevancy, but that's anyone in the company who's full-time.

I didn't like it because it was another NXT alumni burial. However, in this case I don't care. Anon Qross ain't it.:manny:
