American Alpha towel?

Vince is not a dummy, he's probably stoked about the quality of stars that his developmental territory is producing especially the ones that didn't necessarily have indie experience. He's clearly over the moon with Finn Balor. The deeper and better his roster the deeper his pockets.

I'm sure the marketing department already has something cooked up.

I also noticed that on Raw when Finn Balor came out.  When he does the arm thing to that part of his theme song, and the NXT crowd would all join in.  But on Raw, about 50% of the audience did it.  I noticed a lot of fans just standing or sitting during his entrance.

Maybe some fans really don't watch NXT.  I guess it is possible that they only watch Raw or Smackdown.

I honestly though the crowd would go crazy for Balor and I was disappointed myself when hardly anyone did his arm pose.
It would've been awesome to see the entire Raw audience do it.

I remember last April I went to a UK WWE live event and Finn Balor was in the opening match. I didn't really watch NXT at the time and had no idea who he was but his entrance was dead and I don't think he even got a reaction from the crowd.
Then last month I was at the NXT UK tour and at that Balor recieved a Stone Cold style reaction.

It's confusing because it seems that most people don't watch NXT but at the same time the entire Raw audience knew Enzo and Cass's catchphrases.

Because a large percentage of the people that attend NXT also watch Raw and Smackdown but a much smaller percentage of people that attend RAW and Smackdown watch NXT. It's why people thought Enzo and Cass weren't going to work on the main roster, it's why I'm pretty sure the Vaudevillains are gonna flop on the main roster and it's the reason the Ascension flopped on the main roster. For some reason what translates to a smaller audience doesn't necessarily translate well to the bigger crowds. If your someone like Balor though there's nothing stopping you from climbing to the top it's just a matter of when. Breeze is a weird one, I thought he'd be huge or at least Ziggler level.

I'm surprised these weren't released whilst they were still in NXT. Also I wonder if WWE release Cesaro arm sleeves similar to Finn's Demon arm sleeves.

I get so frustrated when people don't watch NXT, or at the very least, take the time to check out who people are.

Finn Balor was drafted in the first round last week. That's a big deal. His name was called before Orton, Cena, Lesnar and Reigns. Why has a large portion of that Raw audience not googled him. There's no excuse anymore, we aren't living in the days when a tape needed to be sent in the post for you to get to know a new guy, you can youtube him on the phone in your pocket.

Lol no one needs anything, but I want one

this really boils down to gimmicks.

Adam Rose's party animal/lemon shtick is nice with a small audience where his entourage looks like a big massive party, but it's very awkward in an audience of thousands to see a dozen people jamming down the ramp. Likwise Tyler's selfie-stick gimmick suffers from being dated. Honestly how many people you see today walking around with selfie sticks really? It is a fad and it goes away. Narcissist Lex Luger had the original selfie stick.

I don't blame people for not watching NXT. Between RAW and SD alone that's 5 hours of wrestling a week, not to mention Main Event and Experience, and then there's this little thing called the WWE Network. Add on Lucha Underground and ROH with weekly televised shows (oops forgot about TNA!) and we really do have a glut of shows in any given week. I love NXT, but I can definitely see why the casual WWE Universe fan wouldn't care.
