F4Wonline.com reports that they were asked by a WWE source to print the following in regards to what you should do if you are an indie wrestler who wants to get into WWE developmental:

"Tell these indie kids to get their cardio in shape, get a strong workout plan (non-juice), learn less wrestling and more storytelling, utilize YouTube to cut NONPROFANITY promos, and either stay the f--k off of Twitter or don't be dumb on Twitter. This is a lot of what NXT looks at."

So basically:
Do cardio.
Don't roid.
Learn how to tell a story.
Don't cause trouble online.

Interesting how this relates to a guy like Ryback.

Cardio? Well...

Roids? Um...

Storytelling? Er...

Twitter? lol

Makes you wonder how he even got into developmental, let alone got through it.

Well he did spend 8 years in it, they mostly called him up to get rid of him.

errrr that should be common sense. Ohno, Rhyno, HBK, Ryback (recently) Jericho does it perfectly though.

Sounds perfect for the landscape they're in. You gotta be able to look good, tell a story, go for 60 minutes then not ruin the ending on twitter. Then of course you leave Vince's office and head out to the ring.

This is like common sense to me. Of course you should workout and not use steriods, be careful on Twitter, work on cardio to last longer in matches and be creative without relying on cussing. I guess they need to make it more clear to others though lol.

Oh really? What about Vince's pet project fandango?
Cardio: never been in a long match
Roids: possible
Storytelling: nope
Twitter: who cares

I call BS on this story. If you have "it", you have "it". You think they wouldn't have signed a 20 year old warrior right now with the same charisma. Of course they would.

Cute to give them something to strive for, but HHH is going to go for guys he thinks have 'it' and its as simple as that.
