There nothing exceptional and undeniable about Roxanne and you know it.

I like her, too.

Laveck is way more ruthless than ya'll care to admit.

If Vince did that same thing to Vinci, ya'll would call him a bully.

Blair didn't even get a chance. Isla Dawn got a title win for a cheap pop with ZERO build up as they were off tv for damn near a year.

He just signed Alexa Bliss to a 5 year deal, she is the resident mean midget.

HHH don't give a fukk about her relationship with Booker.
Literally one of the best women wrestlers on the roster and her character work/mic skills definitely picked up.

She literally gonna be on Raw next week for a EC qualifying match against Raquel, so obviously H sees something in her.


Even if she not deemed main event worthy, she still has a place in the women midcard division. Why make that belt and no competitors :francis:

it’s funny bc Booker & Bubba Ray had a back & forth awhile back about Rox..Bubba said he doesn’t want her to get called up if they don’t have long term plans for her bc she’ll get lost in the mix, Booker response was her talent would propel her anyway but I tend to agree with Bubba..I thought Book was being sensitive, I like Roxi but she could easily get lost in the sauce on the main roster..Steph is one of the few ppl in NXT whose a home run bc of her presentation & history

Breh, Roxi will be just fine.

They have a built in feud already with Bayley and she broke that RR record for being the longest competitor in the match. They have big plans for her no doubt.

And she’s in the qualifier for EC.

They don't do a good job of making people who don't actually watch NXT care about the call ups. A good portion of the main roster audience isn't watching NXT. There's a reason these NXT call ups come out to crickets.

Why they don’t do more coming soon vignettes is beyond me.

They dont have Samoa Joe or Nakamura anymore that every wrestling fan knew. Alexa, Carmella and Liv were basically managers in NXT and started as nothing and they got over to a point, gotta rip the band aid off with people thats been in NXT 4-5 years.

I get accused of fantasy booking when I'm doing simple math.

HHH has favorites, his "good hands," and his projects.

Bobby Lashley got released because he didn't fit the mold (vet who won't ask for big money and just put over young talent like Austin Theory or his favs, like Bray (RIP)

Ced can wrestle like any of these indy f*cks and has a "classic" NXT moment with "Papa H," he don't fit the mold--and I'm not doing race here.

It's clear as day why certain young ppl are booked well behind their talent.
  • Tiffany - Blonde bimbo build
  • Bron - Wrestling family (Bron my boi, but he's a bootleg heel Golderberg down to the tattoo RN)
  • Braun Stroman - Vet Big Man who will never sniff a title or ask for a big contract ever again
  • Valkryie - Becky's home girl
  • Dom - Wrestling family; meme
  • Raquel - Not young, but, she can't go in the ring, but, she's one of his NXT babies who prolly does want she's told
HHH does not build stars--he has not yet--Rhea was in Wrestlemania title matches

We been watching HHH for a solid three years of being the head booker and two of being hte sole booker.

His playbook is so transparent.

That's why you have to introduce these people to your audience. They don't and then the call-ups flop and come out to no reaction. If I don't watch NXT, why would I care about these people?

Okay, what ya'll say; let it play out.

I didn't say that she was gonna get released next year.
