I understand The Revival being brought up. There was really nothing more from them to do in NXT.

But after the mass WM call-ups followed by the Draft, the NXT roster was left razor thin in my opinion.

Another flurry of call-ups and there might not be anyone left that's worth a damn or really over save but a handful.

I mean there's Roode, but if Nakamura gets called up who in the hell is going to be the #1 challenge? McIntyre? That should be telling that NXT has had to rely on bringing in old talent or big name talent from elsewhere time after time to find their top NXT guys.

And I like EY and Sanity as a whole isn't bad. But NXT is pretty much having to recycle all of TNA's best talent at this point for their top guys.

I know that most were indy darlings pre-NXT but guys like Rollins, Owens, Zayn, Big E, and Bo were all still unknowns on the big stage and "grew up" in NXT.

I don't know. It just has a different feel to me these days.

Also Cole and O'Reilly are coming in. They need to do a better job of creating new stars. They've struggled since Dusty passed

Only way to build new guys is to call the old ones up. True talent are going to build themselves (or get built with a lot of help I guess).

And if no one is building up in NXT then the "mass" call ups will stop until real talent emerges.

Like you said Rollins, Wyatt, Big E, Zayn, etc. were all guys a lot of people didn't know. Guys like that are going to have to start rising in NXT again.

Also I feel like AJ coming out and saying he IS team blue is telegraphing his move to Raw.

That would suck big fricking time.

Didn't see too many Adam Cole matches, but heard him on Steve Austin's podcast and did some YouTube binging on a couple of his matches. He's gonna be great in NXT
