No more Vaudevillians Gotch got dem deavors

[trick]

How Sway

Successes:
Woods & E
Enzo & Cass
Finn Balor
Kevin Owens
Rusev
Sami Zayn
Samoa Joe
Seth Rollins
Rich Swann
Austin Aries
Bayley
Charlotte
Sasha Banks
Baron Corbin
Becky Lynch
Alexa Bliss
Carmella
Corey Graves

Flops/Jury still out/Remains to be seen:
Bo Dallas
Nia Jax
Paige
Vaudevillains
Apollo Crews
American Alpha
Kalisto
The Ascension
Mojo Rawley
Tyler Breeze

And besides the Ascension, everyone on that flop list is still incredibly young and they've all gotten over before. And not every call-up is meant to be a star, you still need people to fill ancillary roles on the roster.

do people really think Aiden has potential now?

Bruh wasn't doing anything of note before he got with Gotch. that boy done

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Fixed. I took out the names of the people who already had a lot of indy experience.

Even with that you got to take Graves off. Took him 10 years to get a developmental call.

Good for Aiden English. Dude is talented and was clearly being held back by his retarded tag-team partner.

The Artiste is back

 

[JerseyBoy23]

At people counting people who only had to improve on their mic skills and/or working to the cameras as NXT successess.

How Bayley and Sasha Banks not count?? Even if they did wrestle in the indy's they absolutely honed the bulk of their craft in NXT/PC and created their characters in the NXT system as well. You also can't take Sami off that list when he was a 90 lb albino wrestling under a mask in the Indy's and his WWE character/style is almost completely different from his Indy stuff

Sami was getting Ole chants on day one. Bayley worked the indies for almost 5 years.

I'll give you Sasha, I guess. The scooped her up before she even hit 2 years.

And? The ole chants aren't even a part of his gimmick anymore nor are they even acknowledged by the E Sami bulked up, adjusted his style, learned how to talk, and took off his mask and learned how to be a performer under the WWE system. It's not like a Finn Balor or Samoa Joe or Kevin Steen situation where they just changed the name and kept everything else exactly the same. And like I said, Bayley created her character, which is 90 fukking percent of her appeal, in NXT. She didn't learn how to wrestle down there but she's an NXT/WWE product through in and through out

So why are Bayley's mic skills still awful? Isn't that what the Performance Center is supposed to work on?

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

He had no redeeming value.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

If he doesn't get moved to Raw, Aiden English would be great as a singles competitor to help fill out Smackdown's nonexistent midcard.

 

[Ghost of Breh Obama]

Simon Gotch was DELETED!

 

[FaygoMI]

The poster specifically said "NXT batting average is ", which is just not true I didn't say anything about the validity of NXT's success in creating talent, but acting like 80% of NXT's exports is trash is indubitably false

Because it doesn't take years for Indy guys to learn where the camera is. Part of the reason people get stuck in NXT is so you believe they are a WWE creation.

 

[TheAlbionist]

They were so over in NXT.

I'm an NXT stan, but they need some homegrown Ws in the big leagues. If Vince flubs The Revival I'll.. well I'll just type things on the Internet probably.
