It's been covered earlier in this thread, but honestly, going from giving brutal powerbombs to being paired up with fucking Santino will kill any talent regardless of their ability.

Billy & Chuck with Rico?
Emma bombing was everything to do with main roster creative, not NXT crowds.
...Full Sail is basically in Orlando
A crowd shitting on or loving something at the drop of a dime is not a good measurement for long term sustainability.
Then I'd argue the same applies to everyone else, but the fact of the matter is and this is something that's been apparent for a very long time and that is: you get over on your own.
Forgive me I wouldn't live anywhere near Florida.Emma bombing was everything to do with main roster creative, not NXT.

To be fair I had to google it to make sure
Harlem Heat vs Shinya Hashimoto & Junji Hirata
Man, Hash worked with EVERYONE.
Really fun match. Featuring possibly the best looking axe kick I've ever seen.

Let's not be disingenuous, friends. Dana Brooke is being booed because the awful Full Sail audience knows she didn't spend the last decade fighting in front of a few dozen smarks in a middle school gymnasium. Let's not apologize for these Full Sail cretins and pretend they're mad that she flexes her biceps.
You get over on your own? That's some Vince logic right there.
The main writers didn't get emma so she bombed. It's nothing to do with her.
Some guys like Adam Rose bombed because their gimmick didn't work in the main roster but that's not what happened to Emma.
With the whole way mid card talent is booked on Raw is very hard for anyone to get over. The ones that do are booked at an higher level like Bray or The Shield.

I kinda like he doesn't just face plant straight away.

I wonder what "returning" entails
Gotta get the title off "Ratings posion" Rollins sooner than later T____T
This is correct. Dana Brooke was doomed from the moment her past revealed a lack of indie experience. That she was a fitness competitor and got hired based in part on a quality physique is a 3x multipler of hatred for smarks. The only way to offset such booing is to have some sort of ironic gimmick. Carmella has gotten the same treatment from crowd from the moment she appeared while Cerulean Pants gets cheered.
Emma's gimmick was always trash, but she's way better in the ring than Raw has allowed her to show.
It's the environment they operate in.
He just had his "wrestlemania" moment and hey maybe NXT might call him down.
Look where getting over on your own got him
The environment they operate in is "dont get over if Vince doesn't want you over"
I feel like Rollins will have it till at least RR.
Well it is his company. Do you honestly think Bryan could've had his "organic" WM30 moment if Vince hadn't given the okay?
If only she had been #payingdues out there in the indays.

He'll have it for over 434 days because they can't have CM Punk as the longest Reigning WWE champion of the modern era now could they?
That'd be a hell of a run which would be awesome to see if they let Rollins get a bit more real heat that isn't weasel heel stuff.
I think they are getting it off him at SS but I wouldn't be surprised if they did it at Battlegrounds either.
Either that or Lesnar will have to go through KANE at Battlegrounds to get to Rollins at SS
I've been saying NXT crowd since the start. wtf
Who cares the reason that they boo her?
Their business is to please the crowd. If the crowd doesn't like something you change it until they like it.
Yes, the mark crowds can be bad ("we are awesome" is a bullshit chant) but when it comes to liking performers or booing they can do whatever they want. And then the booking adapts to that to give them what they want.
You have to adapt to the crowd not the other way around. If you can't get the crowd to boo your heels or cheer your faces they you are doing a crappy job at that.
Owens showed how good he is this episode when people were cheering for him and he deflected it and got some heel heat on him by insulting Zayn. That's how it's done.
my bad, I guess dream's terminology has gotten into my head
point stands.
imagine, a thousand smarks, chanting NXT NXT NXT
forever
Because 99% of the time NXT Crowd = Full Sail Crowd
Please don't put words in my mouth Friendzilla.
I don't , Brock era was one of the worst eras ever.
So Dana can pay them now. And Carmella and Eva Marie and Baron Corbin and so on.
What's wrong with that?
Really? Brock's reign on its own terms was pretty damn awesome because it was so different (not totally overexposed on TV every week, feeling "real", Heyman). Everything that surrounded it was pretty terrible I'd agree. Or are you talking about his pre UFC run?

Brock with the briefcase would be absolutely hilarious, especially if he immediately cashed in right after he won. Then just jogged in place waiting for Rollins
I think everyone was pleasantly shocked that they managed to write themselves out of the corner they had put themselves in with such an insane left-field payoff.

And then GLAAD was piiiisssed
But yeah, that angle was excellent. Bischoff you motherfucker
She is being booed because she has no timing, no sense of positioning, no flow and no presence. They put her on TV way too early.
The full sail crowd gives no shits about indies and such, they care about good characters that endear themselves to them. Dana is green as grass and it shows, they decided to put her on TV due to the whole Arnold bodybuilding thing, fine, but there you go.
Also, she is a heel, so they boo her, duh.
NXT is never going to be on the road nearly as much as RAW/SD, simply because they need the downtime. But 3 dates every other week seems completely reasonable.
Brock w/ the briefcase is actually a hilariously awesome idea. The only full-time guy on the roster who I'd even consider giving it to right now is Cesaro, and he may not even really need it.

But she's in developmental...
Sorry Friendwood, just trying to explain why people are doing that
It seems like even their developmental promotion has "stages". There are the NXT wrestlers who aren't ready for TV yet (Solomon Crowe was in this zone for fucking ever) and the ones who are. She's obviously in developmental (which is why I personally try not to be hard on her) but I think she got rushed to NXT TV too fast.
Hopefully NXT does him some good.

NXT isn't developmental anymore. Its a touring brand with TV and regular specials headlined by workers with years of experience. Anyone who watches Sasha Banks and then Dana would think she's terrible and then start booing. Its one of the most honest reactions we've seen from that crowd.
I'm not going to sit here and defend Davey Richards or Eddie Edwards because fucking both bore me to tears. But they didn't get signed because they didn't have anything 'special' right? Ok, so why are Blake and Murphy there? Why are they the tag team champions? Blake and Murphy are every generic WWE tag team of the last 10 years rolled into one. They're Teacher's Pet, They're Gymini, The Dicks, Heartthrobs, Kid Kash & Jamie Noble, Jesse and Festus.
Like holy hell those guys need a character and Alexa Bliss's backside isn't a character
OVW had TV and regular specials, and it was still a developmental. It wouldn't be there if Vince thought it was just a third brand.8

It's definitely still developmental. It's just being headlined by Indy vets to help get eyeballs and media attention. It's a good mix.
The people on NXT are the top of developmental, there's at least 50 more people in developmental that they don't ever let near the tapings unless they need someone to squash in five seconds.
Doing the exact same thing he's been doing since his debut. It's like they're terrified to put him in anything that's not a guaranteed win for him.
