Frustation on Main Roster About NXT Quality

[Big Red Machine]

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

It’s not a secret about a lot of main roster frustration when guys see the kind of matches on the NXT big shows. A lot of people talk about it privately and I’ve heard from many. Honestly, the frustration goes in both directions because there are people in NXT who know they are good enough for the main roster, and that’s where the money is, and while happy in NXT, don’t want to be wasting too much of their prime years there. In a surprise, Brie Bella actually spoke on the record about the subject, and this echoes what others have privately told me: “If I was in NXT, I would not wanna come up to the main roster, because you get so much time down there. If you come to the live events, you’ll see we get a lot of time at the live events. When it comes to TV, we get so frustrated because it’s hard to tell a story in 3 minutes, and especially when they want an entrance. We want time to wrestle. Especially after watching NXT Rival pay-per-view and seeing them go 20 minutes (actually 12 plus entrances and post-match). It’s like a dream. It’ s something we’d love and we’re trying so hard to get more time. There’s a three hour Raw and you can’t give more time to the Divas? But hopefully, in the future.”

two things.

After Rhyno's return and this idea that 'everyone in the business' wants to be in NXT and build careers and shit, i could totally believe that some part of this story could be a bit of an exageration and almost possibly a work to both promote NXT and be more of a brand, and to potentially start an angle that sees more WWE guys come down to work at NXT and NXT guys go and do main roster shows

two, from all the talent in the main roster, and the divas, Brie Bella is hard to believe that would want more time to wrestle. More time featured i can see, but wrestle, hard to believe.

Looking at the style that Nattie and Naomi worked this week, I'm certain it's true.
As for Rhyno, I think someone looked at the way Rhyno was used in ROH (a guy who was a solid worker with name value who could both give some advice and also had a name that it meant something to beat), and figured that having him around to help the NXT guys in the ring would be a good idea. I also think they might want to have him along for touring because of his name.

exactly, i can understand it from Naomi or Natty, but Brie Bella jealous of nxt, i find it hard to believe.

as for rhyno, yeah, that's the real reason he's there, i hardly doubt he'll even make it to the main roster, but they can still run the idea that i have kayfabe wise, i haven't read the spoilers, but i feel we'll start seeing a bunch of main roster guys come down more often to put the nxt guys over

She and Nikki have both gotten A LOT better in the past two years, so I'd think that they would want the opportunity to rid themselves of the stigma of being just a diva.

as good as they can be, they're not there for the wrestling, they're there for the fame, money, and they're sports entertainers, they're divas. If they leave the WWE, they're not gonna run the indie scene to show off their skills, they'll just go back to modeling or try acting. This is either just Bella PR trying to come off as cool 'im in it for the wrestling' or a plain work by wwe
