Anyone ever turn down being called up to the main roster?

[DANJ!]

theres a big difference between being happy where you're at and turning down the main roster. Sure...plenty of wrestlers aren't in a hurry to leave a revolutionary product like NXT which everyone is helping to build into an even bigger brand...especially when they are the big fish in the small pond. They got the performance center, they're a tight circle, they got more control over their character and they're red hot. They pretty much got everything they need to feel comfortable...Its a good gig. But most of these wrestlers aren't marks. And the ones that are...are probably bigger marks for having a Wrestlemania moment and becoming a real superstar. 90 percent of these wrestlers aren't turning down the money and exposure so they can have better storylines. This shyt is a job...people like to advance in their jobs. You think if Vince calls Balor into his office and says "we're gonna debut you after Mania" that he would say "nah i'm good where i'm at"?

Factual. Ain't none of them dudes sign a WWE contract so they can stay wrestling at Full Sail the whole time. It'd take a special kind of mark to be content being a champion on the developmental show, and fearful of making the main roster cause they might have to job to someone.

"nah i'm good being the best player on an NBADL team, I don't want to deal with the traveling, pressure, locker room drama, and being a tenth or eleventh man on an NBA team"

Someone needs to put demon face paint on and to signify Finn always turning down going to the main roster

Heard Balor has said he's happy where he's at

He already knows he's gonna be Neville's bi-weekly tag team partner on the main roster.

Sasha bout to get the biggest pop at Mania for winning the womens title but yeah I bet she rattled about being out of NXT now

If you're turning down a main roster spot, you might as well ask for a release so you can make more money on the indies to be honest.

People like Blake and Murphy, Dillinger, and some others will sink immediately on the main roster. In fact, I'm pretty sure that those names will never get called to the main roster even if they feel like they're "ready".

Pretty much... Unless there's an actual brand split (save us Shane) most of these guys don't have a chance in hell of making it past what the Ascension are doing

Significant travel, significant expenses, significant injuries, significant politics and bullshyt to deal with, and extreme burials

Only Nakamura Balor and Joe are making over $100,000 in NXT. Everyone else there makes less than most of us in this thread
