None of the NXT people other than the chicks really shining on the main roster

Enzo and Cass will probably do fine

Baron Corbin is likely gonna flop

The Wyatts ever get it together they will be the best out of there so far

They can talk, work, and have decent looks. Their gimmick isn't all that bad either if you're watching it for the first time

True, but...

They dont really do anything heelish

That's the problem. They are fine as a gimmick but they don't do shyt to generate heat, just having a gimmick is never enough. That kinda shyt works in Florida because the crowd learns to like "their" wrestlers, but you need to go the extra mile like Enzo or be really fukking good in the ring to really connect with people.

He's a 6'7 dude running away from Dog Ziggler. I'd say he's already flopped. Bow down :wow:

I don't even think it worked in NXT. They got stale really fast.

It was a gimmick that needed/needs work and is just too cartoony and corny. Whoever thought about bringing them up is a fukking idiot. The effort would be better spent on refining the Wyatt family aesthetic (since it has so much damn potential)

A lot of the NXT shyt just doesn't work on the main roster, which is why I can't see Bayley being a huge thing outside of NXT because it comes off weak and forced. These gimmicks work as an "attraction" because NXT is in the same place 98% of the time and on the road at these house shows, people wouldn't take it seriously.

I actually like Vaudevillains but I don't see anyone with a character gimmick making it to the top in 2016 wwe... maybe if you're a supernatural fukk like the Wyatts or Undertaker you can get away with being some kind of character but otherwise people expect the top tier guys in WWE to be Professionals at Wrestling not some other shyt like a ninja, a clown, a firefighter, or any other occupation.

Either way there's plenty of room for them because they are a tag team, and you actually got the beginnings of a thriving tag division going right now in WWE- so you need some established tag teams that can take the L's from time to time and let your top teams shine.

Funny thing, had they been brought up as faces like they were in NXT, I'd agree with this, but as heels, they have a to more legs and freedom. Their gimmick is almost perfectly tailored to be heels. It also helps that they both are pretty good on the mic, which I was shocked by on Smackdown, particularly Aiden English. They both come off sort of like a more exaggerated version of Sandow's original gimmick.

As far as the Ascension comparisons, VV are already ahead of them by simply being more interesting, along with being goodie the ring. Ascension had a distinct gimmick in NXT, but were brought up to the main roster as a fake Road Warriors/Demolition, with a cool theme and nothing else.
