Randy Orton came in a different era.

He came in the biz at a time when the E didnt keep their thumb on people. When things weren't so corporate.

randy orton already proved the cons of what a 100% E product looks like. Till this day he still isnt polished nor complete and he is 2nd gen :heh:

Roman reigns might turn out to be a bautista type but i doubt it

you do have a point with randy....his matches are too routine unless someone carries him

The only thing being in the indys gets you is a following of agitated beta fvckboys who live thoroughly through there favourite wrestler winning a predetermined title
Or, y'know, years worth of experience in how to handle different situations and having thousands of matches to draw from to develop as stars. None of the prolific guys from the indys (or Japan) do anything "new" in the WWE. They just streamline their shyt and look a hundred times more competent than those who didn't have the same level of preparation.

Are we really fukking arguing against something as simple as "having experience is a good thing"?

who's come out of NXT that didnt have indy experience before?

I dont think it has anything to do with NXT. Reigns was just green when he got called up with the shield. Green is green no matter where you get trained.

Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, and the Usos, off the top of my head.

Agree. Too much, too soon, too fast for Roman.

Common sense:laugh: Of course the old school training spots and going to the Japans and Mexicos are what breeds a better performer. That's why Bryan is SO FAR ahead of the curve. Last of a dying breed. I look at the roster today and as much as certain guys get praised around here, they are NOTHING compared to the likes of Kana. She is 20x better than Ambrose and every male talent on the roster not named Danielson. She'll catch that Ziggler super fast superkick in mid stride and knock that nygga's head off:laugh:

I think Ziggler faced all of those problems and he's never wrestled outside of the WWE development system.

You're arguing with the cool kids who sit at the cool kids table in the confines of pro wrasslin' and the WWE universe.
When you look at it from that perspective, the asinine comments are easier to laugh at and disregard.

I mean WWE is a completely different ball game, so there experience in the indys could mean nothing to there WWE career and how good they are in the E.
