What if instead of Vince and Kevin Dunn burying all the NXT call-ups out of spite, it actually turns out that the performance center does a really lovely job of preparing wrestlers to work on the main roster?

I’m sure it does they’re able to have tv time and characters and not get spite booked into oblivion. That’s not the real WWE experience.

Don't forget that they're able to work a schedule that allows for planning and rehearsal of a match instead of rolling into the show that day not actually knowing if they're working or not.

OFFICIAL RACIST

RealFoxy posted:

Asuka got hit with the "Creative has nothing for you" when she lost her first big match but Nakamura's gotten a really great character now since losing. All she needs to do is be an Evan Bourne type attraction, do one move really well and smile a bunch. Sure she IS a much better wrestler than that, but if you're going to push a Japanese female wrestler as legit it should probably be Io

By pushing a wrestler as legit, I think you mean a few months to a year after Io comes up, she'll still have no main roster titles to her name, and will be jobbing to Carmella (Or Vanessa. Or Lacey.), who will get Ellsworth back again, since WWE loves recycling storylines.

I think that Team Hell No's match, Shinsuke/Hardy, and Rusev/Styles might all be decent but it seems much more likely that the two best matches will be on the preshow.

I cancelled my network subscription today. Under the "why are you cancelling", I wrote in "I can't take the Roman push anymore."

I wonder if they bother to check those and, if so, how many similar complaints they've gotten.

Not that it would change anything, but still.

(Also, zero point in subscribing since I go to the pub to watch raw, SD and every PPV anyhow...)

When I cancelled years ago I said "push Roman Reigns" for my reason so you've only cancelled me out, the inertia of his push will continue.

To be fair... she looks WAY different than what she looked like in her early NXT days. I know people love to make fun of WWE using the Homer Simpsons makeup shotgun, but the hair, makeup, ring gear, and developing a non-dancing leprechaun personality goes a long way.

They do stage makeup techniques for a presentation that does tons of closeups.

It doesn’t make any sense, doing it for the 20k or so people live instead of the millions on TV but not surprising for WWE.
