This already sounds like RAW is gonna be favored, just like in the past. They've slowly killed my interest in this the last few weeks :beli:
me too breh. I Was 100% on board.

And I wouldn't be surprised if they don't bring in any new belts now

I love me some Alexa, but she ain't ready. The 6 people I listed have no business being in NXT. Nakamura and Joe shouldn't have even been there in the first place.
All of the TNA guys don't need to be in there. They easily could make a main roster transition.

yall know the NXT talent (especially those already selling tons of merchandise like Bayley) is like :sadcam::feedme:

their pay immediately goes from $40,000-$80,000 a year in NXT to $300,000+ on the main roster

There's no way they're getting that kind of money already. I bet someone like Tyler Breeze is barely into six figures.

Six picks from NXT? Bayley, American Alpha, Finn Bálor, Tye Dillinger and...?

obviously no one knows for sure, but the majority of full time wrestlers make between 300k-1M.

numerous articles and podcast with former/current talent have talked about how most WWE wrestlers average around 500-600k a year these days with starting salary for full time, main roster talent being around 300k. Flair was one who kinda slipped up and talked about talent going from NXT to the main roster and starting at 300k.

the hard part is getting past that 1 million dollar mark. probably less than 6-8 wrestlers making that kind of money.

That's fine... Shane is gonna hopefully go for a more wrestling based show and make it similar to the cwc so he's gonna scoop up guys like Seth, Cesaro, Zayn, Neville, American alpha etc so the pick order won't matter

I hope.

I looked at his Twitter and he's talking about hockey and fantasy football. Almost nothing wrestling related except for some retweets. Who knows? :yeshrug:
It was reported he signed a deal maybe like 2 months or so ago, thats crazy

To be honest, a lot of those TNA guys don't fit on the main roster. I can't see Austin Aries fitting in on the main roster. He already seems out of place on NXT though, so maybe it'd be different. I don't know if it's because I watched TNA from its beginnings, but I don't see Bobby Roode as a top tier talent either. He can dominate NXT, but I don't see him moving past the mid-card.

Would be much more exciting if he didn't but there's no way in hell he won't

Roode would make a dope ass IC or US champ :yeshrug:

But they can't even book the guys they already have(Del Rio)

Agreed. Austin Aries is really talented, but he's really short. Probably even shorter than Daniel Bryan or Neville. If the cruiserweight division makes a comeback on TV though, he's perfect for it.
