though it is only NXT and Women's, Asuka is awesome.
I'm predicting she goes by Kamikaze Kid on the main roster.

They have the benefit of not having to appeal to mass market audiences. If you took NXT and put it on RAW, as is, ratings would probably be worse and USA would be giving Vince an earful.
Nah, she'll just have a move called Kamikaze.

Hmmmm...no I don't really buy that theory. Good booking creates good TV, which NXT has.
But yes it would do very poorly initially because it has talent that the casual audience doesn't know. Also 3 hours is too many hours.

WWE finally getting the mainstream coverage they so desperately love

The complete answer is that they only have to do one hour of TV per week and that frees them up to spend time on things. Also they get to tape many weeks in advance which keeps injuries or kneejerk decisions on things from happening.

controversy creates cash
Sure, those are all really great advantages they have over a weekly 3 hour live show. It makes a big difference.
But, objectively, they still put together sensible booking, better match ups, a focus on multiple stories. These are things on the main roster they are actively poor at doing.

Well, plus, they don't have to worry about turning people and losing merch sales. It doesn't concern their stockholders if NXT does this, but let's say you yank, oh, I dunno, Enzo's shit. That's a chunk of change on the national stage.

I think they would earn more money by selling more tickets, rather than focusing so desperately on merch. Merch is important, but having it placed above the importance of executing basic booking is a problem that just continues to grow every year.
They are doing an amazing job a making a ton of money from an ever shrinking audience, but they will reach a point where there's not enough people left to suck dry.

Minority on minority hating is a real thing in real life though sadly. Blacks on Asians etc.
But I doubt Wwe knows what they do half the time lol

It's the one time I've heard of where a writer pitched something that everyone backstage, including Vince, thought was a completely insane idea in awful taste. If I remember correctly, Vince wasn't just silent, he even got up and just walked out of the room after hearing that pitch.
That writer was let go shortly after.
I'm just waiting for RBH to chair shot me for stealing his heat lol
They broke the man who pitched incest stories with his own kids...

Literally started watching wrestling again(and NXT specifically) to see what the deal with her was.
I haven't really watched WWE since mania and that's ok because watching Asuka being mishandled by main roster shitty booking would break my heart.

Remember when you could sell out the Georgia Dome for an episode of a weekly wrestling program?
Would that have happened without Swagger getting busted for weed?
Who knows, more than likely would've won at mania or the next ppv but dunno if he would've came out on top in the feud.
Vince would have gotten tired of him
