The problem with NXT is that it has a few potential main eventers but by the time they hit the main roster, over half will be ruined by Vince. You can bank on that. A lot of NXT is mid card for life gimmicks and jobbers, I can't see anyone besides Zayn and Devitt becoming anything more than an IC champ. Breeze will be 2015 Fandango, thanks to Vince, Kidd has already had a chance and that amounted to nothing, Acension will come up and dominate before getting lost in the stale tag division, and divas are screwed from the time they sign the dotted line. I can see Enzo being a Road Dogg like character, and that would be fun but I just can't see Vince letting him and Cass stay together for long. People love to call me negative and repetitive, but I'm not making this crap up, it's been happening for years, top talent potential being buried for silly reasons because of Vince's feelings. Triple H has stepped down his ego a lot, but I have no doubt he'd still put his boys over every single up and comer if they asked. I want to look forward to the future, I really do but I don't think Trips and Steph have what it takes to run a company, running a developmental territory that has everything done for him is much different.
With all this being said, I enjoy the product NXT is giving and I hope NONE of the superstars get called up anytime soon. I've stated this in the NXT thread, but I watch NXT for the wrestling, correct storytelling, entertaining matches, and enthusiastic characters. Being extremely muscular is the last thing I pay attention to.
Agree with evanh so much on that. If possible, Hunter should keep as many as he can on NXT until Vince actually wants them, until he needs them.
Orton and Batista lost 3 PPV's in a row to put over up and coming talent. They both lost at the biggest show of the year to someone who in storyline, they should have destroyed in three minutes. I know that's happened a lot in the past but I think with Hunter in charge, it will be a case of say "Neville needs to win, make him look strong." Not getting a win then losing every match to them after that.
