NXT's a good place to start out. Guys who were popular before WWE like Finn and Owens benefited from being down there.

Not really, no one know who Bret was in 87 and through good looking he became superstar. The you need to send some one to a development promotion to get them over is laughable
She is going to cosplay again for the show but didn't say as who. So people are guessing right now.
My guess its going to be disney related since its in Orlando.
But it's not to get them over. It's to teach them WWE's production techniques more than anything.

That idea in and of itself is wrong.
That idea in the context of today's WWE is absolutely right.
Kinda wish the N and T were a bit bigger.
She posted a sneak peek on her instagram earlier. Thinking the gear might be Riddler related, going by her caption. https://instagram.com/p/BSXGdEHjb-e/

Yep. That's the bottom part of a question mark, with her head as the dot.
The Riddler is awesome though, so I'm cool with it.

Yeah, I know that.
But NXT was around for a long time before even Rollins got called up.
But in the last years I think only Braun and AJ skipped NXT

Guys who have debuted without NXT since NXT became a thing:
AJ Styles
Gallows & Anderson
Braun
And technically all the CWs, but that's a different situation.
That's it.
That's because he got the "unstoppable monster" push. Something tells me Adam Cole isn't getting that. And even he floundered until that.

Suit wearing Roman. Da GOAT
Yeah, no
Braun was terrible during his time with the Wyatts and at the beginning of his single carreer.
Even Ellsworth got over first

NXT was a contest that later got combined and repackaged with FCW.
Yes I know.
But NXT added way more production values and better presentation in general. And as such, there would be new things to learn with those additions.
Comparing what FCW looked like to what NXT looked like is a joke.

lol, guy at the Torch knocked the NXT show for being "unrealistic" and "unbelievable". Didn't even like the tag title match.

Braun was pretty much nothing until the brand split. His biggest moment before that had been Brock stiffing him during the rumble.

* for the main event lol ok
Let's not pretend that that wasn't an incredible moment.

Roman made Braun, because he turned him babyface, people love to see a monster babyface beat the hell out of a heel.
And years later, I still think the NXT title needs an Option C. That's the best way to have Roode debut after Bork gives Roman the title. Roman wins a phony defense on RAW, Roode hits him in the forehead with the NXT belt (*cue face pop*), then goes "this ain't enough. I want this one too". It worked fairly well with Owens, they should've kept going.

Don't get me wrong, it was great because Brock was probably like who the fuck is this nobody trying to no sell me, but my point was basically that Braun had been around on the main roster for a long while before he got popular.

He said that the matches "had no internal logic" and he hated that DIY and Revival were able to do spots together. Said the rules weren't clear and that "NXT has become increasingly unbelievable like this and it's not good".
What are they saying? I'm not watching because only John and Wai are good in my opinion.
Oh yeah. Don't forget he debuted just to make Reigns look strong against the Wyatt family.

WTF? Diy and revival teaming together is maybe one of my favorite things ever.
On the Roode/Nakamura main event.
Sounds like a guy with complaints he wants to get off his chest rather than a guy who is reviewing the match.

Braun was in NXT two years before he officially debuted on the main roster and a year and a half on the main roster before the Reigns match and working the main roster schedule is like three years compared to how much he probably would've worked in NXT in the same amount of time.

Just upset that AoP won and bitching that the match went downhill after DIY gto eliminated. Braden already said he disliked the main event.
Just generally being down on AoP
Err...Ohno is the same age as Nakamura.
