Elsewhere in the interview she says that NXT is a culture where you're supposed to be "happy to be here" - she says that she feels it's frowned upon to ask for more or to not be content with what you are given.

Because it still is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WWE_personnel
44 wrestlers on Raw (plus 2 managers)
48 on SD (plus a manager)
59 on NXT (plus 2 managers and a GM)
6 on 205
42 on NXTUK (plus a GM)
Edge, Cena, Taker and by all accounts Ronda still under contract
27 at the Performance Center; 3 more from the UK

That's about 240 people across 5 brands and a Performance Center. If you asked me right now if anything would be lost in terms of WWE screentime by getting rid of the 46 wrestlers across 205 and NXTUK that aren't Gulak and WALTER, I'd say I don't think so, and that immediately takes you under 200 people without even culling people you don't know will ever be worth a thing (any or every one of the Performance Center scrubs including Brennan Williams) or the people still under contract that you don't know if they'll ever even have a match again (Ronda and Kane)

For real? Wikipedia says he only did 205 Commentary for two weeks before going to RAW's commentary and then Brock Lesnar erasing him from history.

I wish he hadn't been problematic, but boy, it's really crazy how he's spent like five years in development and gotten nothing to show for it besides 7 weeks on tv as a commentator apparently

Candice's new finish woulda been a good Britt Baker finishing move.

Candice with Johnny as her manager probably has more hope on the main roster than Johnny does although that's a pretty low bar to cover.

Ryback’s youtube channel was good in back in the day and he had a weird goofy charisma but he was the drizzling shits in the ring. Boring to watch and hurt people on the reg
