If you can't break into the main event in NXT, then he shouldn't ever be a main eventer on the main roster.

That's a huge problem with NXT as good as a farm system it's been, apart from the very start with Bo and Big E every champion was an independant name / star.

But it helped Corbin cause he's good now.

NXT only has two, maybe three champions a year. That would leave very few people able to be called up.

I don't know what that has to do with anything?

Because you claimed they should have to be NXT Champion to get a call-up. That point makes little sense.

A funny Corbin tweet to lighten the mood in here.

No I didn't?
Did you not read your own post I quoted or remember your entire argument from this thread. You claimed he was called up too early because he didn't have a run with the NXT Championship. A point I said wouldn't have happened because he wasn't going to squeeze between Joe and Nakumara and you said if you can't main event in NXT, you shouldn't in the main roster. What are you forgetting here?

Regardless, not everyone is going to get a run with the NXT Championship and you can still prove you're ready for WWE.

Wrong. I never said he was called up too early because he didn't have a title run, I just said he was called up too early period and that he could have still developed and had a title run because of the way his character was going and because of WWE constantly shoe-horning Indy guys to the top of the card.

You'd most definitely said if you can't main event in NXT, you shouldn't in WWE. That's a definite quote. Sidestepping that, what else could he have done down in NXT, besides be champion, that would have strengthened what he's doing now?

Maybe Corbin was or wasn't called up too early. My main point is the average person spends some good years in NXT and not everyone is rushed up. I think this year had more calls than usual because for the draft.

You also said every champion has been an Indy name and that stars shouldn't be called up until they can main event in NXT to which Blissmas replied that wouldn't leave room for a lot of callups

Yeah I did say if you can't main event in NXT then you shouldn't main event on the main roster, on the premise that you clearly suggested he wouldn't be able to oust a bunch of indy guys on a network exclusive show that's all about experimenting. If he can't do that then in theory he's never going to be able to oust the actual stars of the business.

Anyway i'm done on this subject so carry on.

Whether or not NXT should stop pushing indie darlings is a different subject altogether, but fair enough.
