Who on the SD roster can actually compete for a title?

[R=G]

at people saying Del Rio. His time is over. He's been irrelevant for years and he lacks any fire or motivation.

He'sbeen real good in the ring this year and fans been halfway cheering him on the shows Ive watched.

I got this sinking feeling they want Nakamura to hold the fukking NXT belt but you know the Draft wasnt a real shoot or Bryan would of chose him first. He was one of the top reasons wanted to get back to the rimg just in case he got signed.

The called up the greenest motherfukkers (Nia, Mojo, Carmella) and kept Bailey, Asuka, Joe, and Naka down there

Except she won 80% of her defenses via help.

she's a heel...

what heel besides triple h, just beat people cleanly on a consistent basis.

This isn't as hard as you guys make it.

John Cena is past his prime....this isn't 2011 or 2013. People are ready to move on from Cena being the bell cow of WWE. It's partly why he hasnt been champ in a LONG time. Vince knows it's time to move on and set up future guys like Ambrose, Rollins, REigns and others.

As far as Brock, he's a top draw and is a credible champ because he's a special attraction. And the PED thing just came out, so that's not relevant to the general conversation.

What's funny is that if you really look into the numbers, he really isn't a top draw. He's got the best perception as a fighter and star on the roster, but he doesn't draw much for WWE.

Im ready for Nakamura to skip the title run in NXT and get in the mix. He's way too good for that. Asuka too of course.

Mojo isn't "green".

I doesn't matter. they'll learn the same things on the main roster they would have in developmental.

shyt's scripted and homogenized. They dont need the performance center to know how to recite shytty promos and get pinned in 3 minutes.

Vader, most Shimmer champions..Flair..Seth won clean over Reigns and Ambrose..Blandy over Benoit...Cripple H won clean alot...

When they want to do it, they do it. She hasnt had no great reign...nowhere near the energy AJ had when she clearly carried the division.

Naka and Joe are too good for NXT. It was cool when they were trying to make it an indy brand with WWEs backing but since that doesn't matter anymore they need to bring them up.

I KNEW YOUR GONNA SAY VADER... as soon as i posted I said watch him say Vader. If you say Vader, you might as well say Yokozuna. They are dominant heels built up to be taken down by a babyface. Their whole gimmick is being unbeatable.

Flair was the epitome of cheating slimy do whatever to win heel. He won most of his matches with a pair of brass knuckles... somebody holding his hands on the outside or other fukkery.

Seth won clean, but most of his reign he either lost or had help... fukkING JOHN STEWART HELPED SETH.

I said Triple H was the heel who made it seem normal for heels to just win. That has never really been wrestling, not any wrestling ive watched.

fukk Shimmer btw.

Mojo sucks but that's beside the point. NXT gives them a chance to get over and build a fanbase so when they're called up the fans are already with them. It's the same issue with them calling up Crews, Corbin, and Dana early before they could establish themselves. And with the later two in ring they for sure needed to be more polished.

Need draws for tour

If they actually signed Ibushi they already have it. They got Roode too.

no offense, but you don't have access to whatever numbers Vince/execs have access to.
There's a reason he's keeping him around with an absurd salary and reduced schedule and basically telling Vince what to do

He's bringing in more than you or I, the general public knows. Otherwise, he'd be gone long time ago.

Nobody watches NXT like that. It prolly doesnt do more than 200k in viewership MAX and thats being generous. We watch it because we're wrestleheads, but all of that is irrelevant in terms of moving up. Adam Rose was there from FCW days, Ascension as well, Bo too... and they still didn't connect. NXT is a hardcore product... it would be like comparing Drake to Run The Jewels... RTJ is popular, but they are still underground. They dont release numbers but...

The audience for NXT is minuscule compared to RAW. They don’t release actual Network numbers but the international airings don’t do anything special and if it was doing big Network numbers they’d probably leverage it into a real TV deal instead.

Those guys can learn on the main roster... they're still doing dates every night, getting reps in the ring, working on their entrances etc. I don't think it's too soon for any of them. Because they weren't going to do shyt with them anyway.

Mojo doesnt suck, he will probably end up being one of the more over acts out of the new class of recruits.

He's ready made for the PG era.

Just cause he didn't wrestle in Japan and does planchas and fake mat wrestling doesn't mean he's trash. Him and No Way Jose will have popularity with casuals. It's common sense.
